gales. From Tucson he went to Fort
Lowell. where his brother Il. p. Grin
dell. resides and while there he made
an investigation of those ghostly DEM
constructions, of which strange stories
have been told within the last six
weeks. The most tangible evidence of
the ghosts that Mr.. Grindell saw was
a Mexican woman lying at the point of
death of fright she had last Thurs
day night. She said she vent to a

over the we'll she saw something white

shape. a dim outline OF a human form.
The woman's agony of fear was so
great that she could not faint but she
watched the ghost cross swiftly to one
of the dismantled post build!ags. 1t
assembled the wall and disappeared on
the other side. The woman rnmained
turned to stone. except as to eyes.
heart and brain. In an instant the
ghost reappeared on the top of he
wall, little ghost with it. They slid
down the wall and danced away out Of
sight.
Then motion came to the Watchers
feet and she fed to the house and fell
in faint. Her friends said that she
would never come out of it. At length
she recovered consciousness and told
of the horrid thing she had seen. As
late as last Saturday 1t was not GER
tain that she would recover.

and three or four Americans. About
six weeks ago a Mexican reported that
he had seen a ghost. 1t was afterward
seen by a half dozen other Mexicans,

nearly to his eyebrows. and they want
nothin' much but a kind of hollow

chin ought to been.
well. Hanks kind of baldheaded
now, and since he's raised whiskers
you can't see but what he's got jist as
much chin as the next man.
Five years ago, before his hair be-
gan to fall out and when the barber
never thought Of askin' him if he want

a month in a railroad office and gettin'

A fearful tale comes from New Jer-
sey. Not only were the residents fed
upon by mosquitoes all of last summer,
but it is claimed they are being poster
ed by them right along through the
winter, Notwithstanding the freezing of
the marshes and ponds. Deacon Jacob
Williams of Tuckertown says that he
went into the swamp the other day and
although everything was frozen tight
not less than 10000 mosauitoes-"big
husky fellows"--attacked him and
nearly knocked him down. Another
citizen of the same town, with not
quite so good a reputation for veracity.
AYERS that the mid-winter mosquitoes
are incased in something that looks
like an overcoat and may sometimes he
seen skating on the ice. In Tucker
town, therefore, there is strong opin-
ion prevailing to the effect that the
kerosene oil method of treating the
mosquito pest not only fails of its
purpose but actually provides the in
sects with an overcoat or something Of
the sort by means of which they are
able to withstand the rigors of freezing
weather.

A Christmas Minuet.
From the Critic.

When silver flutes and violins
In Christmas-land are signing
A dreamy waltz that sets the feet
OF youths and maidens flying,
see among the plain black coats
And girlish rosebud faces
Strange figures of the long ago
Come out and take their places.
In stomachers and gay brocades
That Time has stained and faded,
In buckled shoes and velvet suits,
With god belaced and braided.
They tread a stately minuet
The courtliest of dances.
And underneath the mistletoe
Renew their old romances.
When chimes are rung and carols sung
And snow the landscape covers,
The spirit of the olden time
Around the holly hovers;
Then every shadow to my gaze
A powdered head discloses,
And all the air is family sweet
With lavender and roses.
with lifted skirts OF pink and blue
They courtesy down the middle.
hear, above the stops and strings,
The spinet and the fiddle,
The creaking Of coach and four
Between the pines and laurels.
And footsteps I'm the frozen snow
That vanish with the carols.

MARCoNrs sUocEss pounrEn.

There are some who doubt that Mar
conf has succeeded in receiving a
wireless telegram from England One
of the doubters is Thomas A. Edison.
who has perhaps made more practical
discoveries in electricity than any 9TH
or man. Mr.. Edison does not believe
that the sending of a wireless mes
sage across the ocean is an impossi-
bility. He simply believes that Mar
conf has not yet solved the problem of
sending a wireless message such a
long distance.
In an interview in regard to the mat
ter he says: Il do not believe Marconi
has succeeded yet. If it were true
that he has accomplished his object
believe that he would announce the
fact over his own signature" Mr.
Edison does not wish il to be understood
that he thinks that Marconi is try
ing to deceive the public. The latter
has nothing to gain by a deception of
that sort. Mr.. Edison has faith in
him and thinks that he is working
along the right line. It is his opinion,
however, that Marconi has been mis-
led. and that he is not yet thoroughly
satisfied himself that he has been sue
cessful.
Tesla, another great authority on
electricity. in speaking of the Marconi
announcement, says: IT never doubt
statements of my co-workers. I prefer
to wait until 1 open communication
myself" The inference from this is
that Tesla believes that the problem
Of sending wireless messages a long
distance-even across the ocean-win
eventually be solved. but that he is
in doubt as to whether Marconi has
succeeded in solving it.
1t is evident that the public believes
that Marconi has succeeded in receiy-
ing a wireless message from England
There have been so many astonishing
discoveries during the last ten years
that 1t is prepared to believe almost
anything that approaches the marvel
Gus in the field Of electricity. When
Marconi first made known his theory
respecting wireless telegraphy 1t was
pretty generally accepted. 1t did not
appear so remarkable as sending mes
sages by wire when Morse announced
his discovery. and it did not seem TO
be so wonderful as seeing through
opaque objects by means of the X-ray.
This is an age Of wonders and the
probabilities are that the sending of
wireless messages across the ocean will
be a very common thing before ten
years have passed.
