The prehistoric man whose skeleton was
found in Kansas had a low sloping fore
head, such as science invariably associates
with scant intellectually. This is an inter-
esting clue. 1t suffices to convince any
kansan that the man was not born IN that
immediate vicinity. He was an immigrant
from one of the adjacent states. If he had
been native born he would have had the
lofty brow which shows poetic imagination,
oratorical facility and the ability to keep
shrewd eye on the prospective prices of
corn.

tion that we are OH the eve of a won
derful revolution in the practical
transmission Of thought and intelli-
gence from mind to mind around the

Mr.. Marconi belongs TO the type of

penetrating, tireless, lightning quick
in apprehension and no guesser. When
he makes u guess it is a working hy-
pothesis, but never thing to be ex-

Il think so, but more experiments
must first be tried. We do not know
all the data of the problem. But I

for instance, from st. Petersburg or
some point in the heart of Europe di-
rect through the air to New York
without being interrupted and without

''Do you think it could be doneY

''Is there any reason why 1t could not

that is that at certain height above

a degree of rarity where it becomes a

THAT region or layer in the atmos-

closing the earth, through which we
could not send electric waves. Is that

But might it not be possible to

when your signals were sent across
the Atlantic, did they go into the air,
through the earth, or howy"
"They went through the ether"
"Will you abandon the use of kites

"Yes, we shall use masts.'
How high will the masts have to
be in sending messages between Cape
Cod and England?"
"AbOut 100 feet. Messages have been
sent twenty miles from an elevation
Of only two feet. The distance in
creases as the square of the height of
the masts. There is probably a slight
absorption of the energy in the atmos-
phere, and it is necessary to make al
lOwance for that"
"But, of course, the height of the
masts has nothing to do with the
curvature of the earth or with the
getting over intervening obstacles"
"NO, not at ALL"
"And you believe you could send
messages across North America with
out regard to such obstacles as the
Rocky Mountains, which rise 1900
or $4,000 feet above the sea level?"
''Yes, think 1t can be done. But |
more power is required over land than |
over sea, because there is more abb

herself of way of escape. She hur-

YES" was the unexpected reply from
the young man who also hailed from
the principality. and, with Celtic
sprightliness, followed into the hall
the blushing girl, who had fed upon
hearing the familiar word. The maid,
a farmers daughter, was buxom and
neat; the swain was an Industrious

promising prospects. and soon 'merrily
