pages, instead of eight. This will en-
able us to add several departments
to the paper which we believe will
be especially valuable and entertaining
TO It's readers. Two of these depart
ments have been started in brief form
this week, that of the Garden, Farm and
School, under the immediate manage
ment of Prof. Thomas E. Boyce, whose
management we believe will be especial
ly satisfactory to all the patrons of the
paper, and the Home Circle. In this last,
the interests of the ladies will be especial
ly considered.
The increased size of the paper also will
admit of better handling of advertise
ments. Heretofore we have been unable
to grant special positions to all our pa
irons along this line, and we fully appre-
ciate the consideration with which they
have met our efforts to do as well as we
could with limited space. We believe
we shall be able to satisfy all under the
new arrangement, and make the REGIS
TER more valuable alike to reader and to
advertiser

May Revoiutionize Telephony.
lRnrlinnfnn Ernn Press

Developments in various fields of in
veutlon are succeeding each other with
such startling rapidity in this age as to
almost tax credu.lty, "A to render futile
predictions AS 10 what may not happen
IN the sphere of scientific discovery
Tesla has threatened the existence of our
present telegraph methods with his de-
velOpement of the wireless system OF
transmitting messages, and now both the
scientist ana the capitalist are confronted
by the possibility of the adoption Of new
devices which will completely revolu-
tionize telephony.
DR.. Pupin, one of the professors in the
School OF Mines of Columbia Univer Sity,
who has for years been making investi-
cations in the field of electricity and who
for time was associated with Tesla in
the laboratory, is said to have devised APP
paratus which promises not only tu
change telephOning on land but also to
have an important bearing on the prob
lem of ocean telegraphy. Pupin claims
TO have been able to make use of one Of
the properties of electricity whereby the
enormous cost of Insulating and equip
ping lJng-distauce telephone plants with
copper wires can be done away with, aud
sali, factory direct land service be made
possible between New York and San
Francisco.
The opinion has been expressed that
the Application of Pupn's discovery will
make an ocean cable as efficient as art
telegraph wires on land, and when the
fact is borue in mind thai the u>e of sub
marine telephoLiug has been practically
limited TO short distances 10y the prohbi-
live cost of installing long distance plants

Last year was a great one for apples
in Vermont. So abundant was the yield
that much Of the fruit was allowed to go
TO waste because it would not pay eX-
penses to gather and market. 1t is
therefore difficult to realize that there
are many large Jelly factories in this
country willing to pay fair price for
apple-parings and cores, which they
make into chedp jellies. The man who
does figure work has estimated that from
1900 TO 1900 carloads of parings are used
for this pu pose in "A year of abundant
yield as 1900. There are upwards of 40
factories to consume this quantity.

A Famous Vermont-Bred Horse.

A recent issue of the New York
journal has picture of Bob Fitzsim-
mons, the pugilist, behind the pacing
team, Amokin and Monopole They are
owned by Theodore Maxfield of New
Jersey and are noticeable horses on that
famous drive, the Speedway. Fitzsim-
mons made an offer of $1,000 for the pair.
The offer is under consideration and will
probably be accepted. Monopole was
bred by DR.. w. II. Kingsley of Middle
bury and has single record of 90, one
of the lowest ever made by Vermont
bred horse. He was sired by Leicester,
2174, by Decalion. HIS dam was old

IMPORTANCE OF AN INDIVID-
UAL'S LIFE.

According to cable dispatch in the
New York Evening Post, insurance pol
icies to the extent Of about 500, 600, 600
have been taken out in the British is
lands on the life of the American fnan-
cier, J Pierpont Morgan Those who
have taken out these policies, of course,
are persons who would be ii ured fYan-
cially by bis death, or who think they
would be injured Risks of this sort are
rather common in England, but, so far
as known, more money is put up on Nor
gan than on any other person, and
much more than was invested on the
late Queens life.
OF course the life of a perron Ike
Morgan would be of UNNECESSARILY
greater consequence TO investors in
large undertakings than would that Of
Victoria or any other British monarch.
The death of Morgan at the present
1me would be calculated to have far
greater disturbing influence on the
stock market. and through this medium
on general business, than Eictoria's
demise exerted, or than that of Edward
VII. could have. In fact, the d ath of
the Queen caused scarcely a ripple on
the worlds bourses. That Of the pre-
sent British monarch would, under ex-
isting conditions, have somewhat more
effect, but it would be slight compared
with that which would result from the
death of some great magnate in the
world of finance like Morgan, Harri-
man or Rockefeller
The effect would be world wide as
well as instantaneous. The intimacy
of the commercial relations of each
country with every other one, and The
extension and multiplication of the de-
vices for transferring ownership in pro-
| perry from one hemisphere to the other
swiftly and cheaply, have transformed
the whole world into a SINGLE business
community Race lines drop out in the
realm of finance Upton from Ireland
| cornered pork in Chicago, and fixed
the price for every country which used
It, Morgan's enterprises extend over
large part of Europe as well as over the
United States. Nobody on either con
tinent asked or cared anything about
the nationality of these personages. In
financial sense there are fewer race
lines today than there were in the time
of Charlemagne's or Othos Holy
Roman Empire. Mandates go out
these days from New York and London
which secure more universal acquiee-
cance than did any command which
was issued from the Eternal City in
the age of Caesar or Ira jan.
