Improved Kites FOR IeleErl Bhy.
New York, December william A.
Eddy who has just arrived in Beyonne,
N. j., from Noank, Conn, has written
to Mr.. Marconi inclosing diagrams of
an improved tandem kite system for
reaching height of 1000 feet with
Major Baden Powell's system of kites.
He thinks this system will enable Mar
conf to send messages at least 1000
miles, because every increase in height
has SO far enormously increased the
range of wireless kilograms. Should
the receiving vessels 1000 miles out at
sea also send up receiving wire by
means of a kite storm flyers to height
of 5000 feet Mr. Eddy thinks the 1000
mile limit will be more than doubled
Major Baden Powell fastened one kite
to the back of another when flying the
kites tandem, but Mr.. Eddy says that
with the system of fastening radiating
to a main line, the Arfety will be
greater than with one kite. because il
one kite gives out the others will sus-
tain the apparatus.

Two Deaths Caused by Train in Missis-
sippi--The other Deaths.

Rockford, ILL.,, Dec. 6-Failure on
the part of conductor to obey orders
is supposed to have been the cause
of head end collision on the Illinois
Central, between Ireneand Perryville,
early Sunday morning. which resulted
in six dead, two missing and eleven
hurt The two trains were the east
bound passenger train No and a
through freight train from Chicago
going west.
The trains met in a short bend in
the track, both running at full speed.
The smoking, express and baggage cars
we're piled on the locomotives, penning
in the occupants of the smoker, which
took fire Only three of the half doz-
en- in that car escaped The others, IL
not instantly killed, were roasted to
death, and their bodies along with
those of the engine crews were con-
sumed All efforts of the survivors to
reach the victims were unavailing.
The flames drove them back at every
point. The temperature was 20 degrees
below zero and an icy wind was blow
ing across the prairie, the point where
the wreck occurred being in a shallow
cut affording no protection. The In
jured were without hats and wraps
and suffered terribly. By the united
efforts of the survivors one car was
pushed back from the wreckage to es-,
cape the flames and the wounded were
placed inside. Two hours elapsed be-
fore any relief was at hand. then an
engine arrived and pulled the car to
Irene, three miles distant.
A relief train went from Rockford and
arrived a the wreck twenty minutes
later In the meantime the injured
had been brought back from Irene and
were transferred to the relief train and
brought to Rockford. All the injured
are doing well except R. G.. Wellman
and Conductor Quinlan. who are in a
critical condition. Wrecking trains are
at work and the tracks will soon be
clear. Six bodies we're recovered from
the debris which were charred beyond
recognition.
