LIVE TOPICS ABOUT TOWN.

The President has just made a reap
pointment which. unlike a majority of
them. results purely through sentiment
and is entirely devoid of politics. Last
week several members of the Illinois
delegation in Congress called at the
White House and reminded Mr.. McKin-
ley that the term of the present in
cumbent of the Office of collector for the
southern district of Illinois had expired
They presented the name of n candidate
who has been promised a Government
berth, and asked that he be given the
place Mr. Mckinley received the dele
cation cordially and asked who it was
that had held the Office for the past four
years. He was informed that the incum-
bent was General Powell.
We'll. you can't have that place" the
President is quoted as saying. General
Powell was my commander all through
the civil war. l was beside him when
he was shot. Later he cared for me.
Now do you think 1 ought to remove him
or reappoiut him.
The Illinois delegation agreed that Cen
eral Powell should be retained and went
off to hunt up something equally as
good for their candidate.

SIGNALS FROM THE PLANETS.
Electrician Eddy Believes That He Has
Been Receiving Them Since 1902. iss

Electrician Eddy Believes That He Has
Been Receiving Them Since 1909. ~
New York, Jan. IL. William A.
Eddy of Bayonne, N. j., says that
since 1892 he has drawn from his Kite
wire hundreds of electric signals, both
regular and irregular, which may have
come from some planet, and that The
signals have been usually in groups of
three, regularly timed like a Morse
sounder. When the ends Of the kite,
sustained by steel wires, are separated
by silk strands, the sparks jump at
twelve-second intervals. Then there
are mysterious disappearances of all
electric action for several minutes.
These electric sparks come from a high
point in the mir, not nearly to the low
tension electric currents OF trolley and
live wires.
Mr.. Eddy, is about to begin a careful
series of measurement OF these spark
lengths. lie does not believe that
Morse saunders Affect his wire, because
the dynamo electricity sticks to- it,
wire and does not radiate to unknown
distances so far as known, as do tn,
high tension sparks used in wireless
tsieetaphy and the same high tension
sparks drawn by him from the clouds
Mr.. Eddy says that these sparE
singals may come from an outer planet
because electricity travels at the rate
of 100000 miles second and is a,
tireless as light, which travels 1888, 30t
miles second as measured by a rapidly
revolving toothed wheel. Great varia
bility in effect is, produced when Their
! is apparently no; change whatever il
the condition of the Upper air, SO ia
as known.
Mr.. Eddy has been trying to deciphe
these signals since 1892. 1t is also t.
Ibe noted that Tesls's signals come iron
iPike,s Peak and at high roint in tb
air. Mr.. Eddy points out that cleo
tricIty is superior to light, because a
interruption can be transmitted, whil
light suffuses around dark shadow
Especially if the shadow is of small
diameter.
