Wireless Tc1cGrnphy Used by the

While Distant From Each
OtEer 1877 Miles.

| NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-"We could get
! every word sent as well as if the Lucania
was passing US close by" said the Cam
( pania operator I'VE kept sending her
messages until we had sent fourteen in
all Some of these were. OF course. from
our passengers TO friends on the Lucania.
These l could not give out II would not
be right to do SO. Suffice 1t to say tlat
messages were sent back to England from
our ship. telling OF the progress OF our
voyage, as well as many private mes
sages."
Marcon wireless messages PLAYED a
prominent part in the ocean race which
ended in this port yesterday with La
sayoie. OF the French Line, a victor, and
the Cunarder Campania a close second.
The Marconi ethal waves of che French
I liner connected with those Of the Nam
tuckot lightship Friday forenoon, winging
/ a message that she was first to pass that
point. They also mingled with the waves
from the Cunarder.
In fact. there was such a commingliug
of the ethal currents of the two vessels
that the operator on La Savoie gave up
in despair. He could not send his mes
sages to the lightship because the Cam
pania current cut in and stopped him.
The Cunarder had the stronger current.
On La Savoie the voyagers made no at
tempt to conceal their keen disappoint-
ment.
No Message From La Snyoic.
we did not take a single message from
La Savoie." said the campania wireless
operator. we did not receive one OF
tiem, though they would have ticked out
on our instrument ii we had cared TO take
them. Perhaps We had stronger cur
rent I'm not saying. and the operator
who is Scotchman, looked very wise.
While she did not beat La Sayoie into
port, the Campania had a very good ex-
cuse. for she vas delayed four hours a
Queenstown to receive mails. Perhaps il
this had not happened the race might have
ended differently. Anyhow, the Campap-
as wireless operator accomplished feat
on the voyage that has never been done
before. He Sent a message 1S1 miles to
the vessels sister ship Lucania, and re-
ceived an answer.
The Camnania was then fully Loco miles
oui from Queenstown, and the Lucanil.
bound for the English Channel. was IS7
miles to the westward The Lucania wired
her position and told of the number OF
passengers on board
The Operators story.
I'VE began our communication with the
I.ucania at 10 p. m. of the 18th. and we
kept it up until 1:53 a. m. of the 18th.
nearly four hours. as you see. said the
operator.
Il never sighted the Lucanla at any
time She must have passed us to the
southward 1t was the most successful
wireless telegraphy at sea l ever had
anything to do with.
We picked UP the Nantucket lishtship
at what was p IN. Greenwich time. but
about II a. IN. New YORK time. We sent
sixteen messages to he lightship and re-
ceived few. We learned OF what was
going on in New York"
The operator was absolutely astouRded
when he was informed that his feat Of
sending messages lS7 miles had been out

indian Territory. Poverty.

The latter delegation claims that In
dian Territory is too poor at present to
bear the expenses of even a Territorial
form of government. but that when the
indian lands are divided and the surplus
sold and settled by whites the Territory
VIII have sufficient population to entitle
it to Statehood and be able to support
state government They say the people OF
Oklahoma want the Indian Territory in
corporated into the proposed new State
simply to help support the State govern
ment.
Politics will probably figure in the mat
ter. and il is scarcely possible that State
hood will be granted to oklahoma or In
dian Territory or to both combined for
some years to come. At present both
Territories would probably be Demo-
cratic. and Statehood for either OF both
would mean the admission OF two or fOur
Democratic Senators to the Senate, which
would scarcely be desired by the Repub-
Iicans who control that body.
Views of Repubiicna Delegation.
The anti i-Statehood delegation from In
dian Territory is composed Of Repub-
licans. aud they claim that if left alone
five or six years they will Republicanize
the Territory. and then when it is admit
ted the Senators will be Republicans.

Mr.. T.. Il. Green, government ento.

PeradenlSa, Ceylon, tells Il most Gu

Chronicle. Desiring TO confirm the
reported web spinning habits of these
ants, he separated some leaves that
had been recently fastened together
by them, The ants quickly drew the
edges OF the leaves together and in
about an hour afterwards he noticed
that small white grubs were being

mouth of the larva continuous
thread of silk proceeded and was used
to repair The damage-the larvae were
actually used as spinning machines.
There were no larvae in the disturbed
Enclosure. They were most likely OBJ
tanned from a nest short distance
away, and this no doubt accounts for
the length of time passed before the
rent was repaired.
