"Three antarctic expeditions are now

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Transmitted Messages for Distance
of Thirteen Miles.

New York, Feb. 2l.-The steamship
Georgia, which arrived last night from
Liverpool has on board as a passenger
Mr.. sherman, who had charge of the
experiments with wireless telegraphy
on the George of Browhead. Mr.
Sherman said that he sent messages to
Browhead from a distance of over 10
miles and received replies. but could not
receive messages farther than that ow-
ing to the fact that the rolling Of the
ship somewhat dlsarranged his instru-
ments. This was not the Marconi sys-
TEN, but was invented by Mr.. Neil
Markline, Piccadilly, London. The in
strument on the vessel was attached TO
the metal Of the ship and connected
with wires which were attached to fore
and aft stays Of the steamer The in
fluence which conveys the message In
wireless telegraph is able to pass read
lily through insulators, such as in a
glass, but is absorbed to very great
extent by all conductive materials, es-
pecially by sheet metals.

THE IsTHMIAN CANAL.
American Academy of Political Sci.

New York, Feb. 20.-"The Isthmian
Canal' was the subject Of discussion at
meeting OF the American Academy
of Political and Social Science at Phila-
delphia last night, Prof. Emory II.
Johnson, OF the University Of Pcnnsyl-

OF the Istmian Canal Question" and
Col Peter G. Haines, OF the army,
upon the "Isthmian Canal from Mill
tary Point OF View" Col. Haines is
quoted in a special to the Tribune as
saying:
"An Isthmian canal, to be Of service

From military standpoint the ca

Britain might nossbly send ships

The most that could be gained by do

Cincinnati, O.. Feb. 20,-Judge Rufus

dered a decision that is regarded as I'M

tract. and suit was brought to recover.
The Whisky trust filed demurrer, al
leging that the contract was Illegal,
The demurrer is overruled, the court
holding that when a contract, appar-
entity illegal, Is only an incident to a
large contract. which Is legal. then the
first contract, will stand as a circum-
