WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
FOR AMERICAN NAVY

Washington, Dec 26.-The navy de-
partment has taken the initial steps
toward the adoption of wireless tele-
graphy as a means of signalling be-
tween warships at sea. To this end.
Admiral Bradford of the bureau Of
equipment, has asked that the armored
cruisers of the Pennsylvania class have
their masts and rigging so arranged
that the wireless system can be intro
duced
This will necessitate the lengthening
of the masts of the ships and the fnsu-
lation of the metal rigging by the use
of hemp covering for halyards. IT is in
tended to get test sets of instruments
of the various wireless systems now
being operated These include the
Marconi system.
Thus far, however the navy depart
ment has not definitely settled upon
any system but the construction of the
ships is regarded as preliminary step
only toward the adoption Of some sys-
tenn.

When Mr.. Lemare appeared at Union
Church early in the season he made a
lasting impression on his audience.
His wonderful mastery of that beauti-
full and difficult instrument, the mod
ern pipe organ. was clear to all who
heard the delightful concert.
A European pianist who will probably
be heard in America before long is
Wilhelm Stenhammer, who was born in
Sweden in 1871. He is a native of
Stockholm and comes of a musical fam
lily, his father being the composer OF an
oratorio called David and Saul, and
his uncle a prominent professional
tenor. His grandfather enjoyed celeb
rty as a theologian, botaniSt and ety.
mologist.
After a successful career as con-
cert pianist, young Stenhalmmer rev
years since produced in the opera house
at Stockholm his now famous concerto
for piano and orchestra, and this at
once won for him high place in must
cal circles. The late Franz Rummel
was a warm admirer of this compost
ton and brought a copy of it to this
country on his last visit here.
At Copenhagen Wilhelm Stenhammer
has made some of his most pronounced
successes. In other Northern cities he
has met with distinguished favor His
home is at Saljobaden, on a pictur-
esque lake in the suburbs of the Swed-
ish capital. At Stockholm he is con-
ductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra.
AS a composer Stenhammer is known
by his cantata written for the Swedish
Exposition of 1890, by many songs and
string quartets, and by his famous con-
certo for piano and orchestra.

astounding. Yesterday morning bright

A certain young person to whom this

girl friend will concede that she has a
fine complexion. On Christmas Day
the girls in the office where she works

other she found herself in possession

| choice confectionery. Now she declares
| it was a concertive effort to spoil her
