narrow bands, through which the
gathering string is run. The new
skirts are sufficiently gored and fitted
not to require the wide yoke, how
ever.
Many Of the newer petticoats are
made with q train. The reason Of this
is that they are often used as slips,
particularly in the case of nonsilk pet
ticoats, which save ones silk slip skirt.
To uplift petticoat that is trained q
hook and eye are applied somewhere
about the center seam.
For ordinary wear skirts of moirette,
alpaca and sateen are useful. They
are made with fancifully tucked ruff
fles. Sateen also makes a good petit
coat, but gloria silk, a mixture Of silk
and linen, is especially desirable, as !t
is lightweight and closely initiates silk.
Two useful and stylish petticoats
are shown In the cut. One is of tucked
black gloria silk. The flOunce is laid
In tiny tucks in order to give addi-
tional fullness. Six inch wide ribbons

The second petticoat is more elab-

THE RISE OF MARCONI
BONE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
THE YOUNG INVENTOR.

How He First Began EIperIm enting
With Wireless TeIeEraphy - His
Success In England with His Sig
nalB-Hia Work In America.
When Marconi first began his expert
ments with wireless telegraphy, he
was strong in the belief that the ulti-
mate result would be the sending Of
messages across the wide Atlantic
without the use Of wires. That his
faith was well founded was shown re-
Gently, when he flashed signals from
st. Johns, \. f., to Cornwall, England,
q distance of LOO miles This achieve
ment places him among the foremost
Inventors Of the world.
The story of the struggle and tri-
umph Of this young genius Of Anglo
Italian parentage fills one of the bright.
est pages in the history of science.
He was born at Marzzbotta, near Bo-
logna, of an Italian father and an
English mother in 1875 and displayed
a taste for scientific subjects in his
boyhood.
The inventor Is a singularly modest
chap, with prominent nose, high fore
head and dreamy eyes-quite the typ
ical inventor. His face frequently
takes on the expression of a man who
has drifted into realms Of profound
thought.
Marconi speaks both English and
Italian with equal f1uency and, while
positive in his opinions about his great
invention, is as modest as real gen.
fuses generally are He was educated
at the famous University of Bologna,
the Oldest university in the world, and
It was at this institution, under the
tutelage of Professor A. Righi, that he
conceived and gave shape to his system
of wireless telegraphy. He carried out
many experiments on his family estate
near Bologna before discovering the
important fact that electric waves gem
Grated by a sparkling apparatus of the
kind used by the lamented German
physicist Heinrich Hertz would carry
to a long distance and were unaffected
by intervening hills and natural OBJ
stacles. That discovery was the great
turning point in his life.
In 1896 the inventor went to Eng
land and there found his first trusting
patrons. The British postal authorities
received him cordially, took an interest
In his efforts to solve the great prob
lem he had undertaken and provided
for him means to experiment with sig
mailing. Thus encouraged. he renewed
Montour American. (Danville, Pa.) 1866-1920, 1902-01-09

his efforts. He worked night and day
to improve his methods and increase
his records. By establishing communi-
cation between captive balloons and
perfecting the experiments with pole
stations Marconi startled the English
scientists. To test him Dublin news
paper engaged him to report the Kings
ton yacht races. He was successful
and soon afterward was at work in the
English channel, the result Of which
was the establishment Of wireless COM
munication between Dover and Bou-
logne.
While in England one Of his notable
achievements was keeping the Prince
of Wales, who was on the royal yacht
Osborne, in touch with Queen Nicto-
ria's household IN her last illness. Mes
sage after message was exchanged.
Marconi finally won the great triumph
Of directing the English feet in its ma
neuvers, sending messages more than
eighty miles from one ship to another
and 130 miles through two ship sta
tions. English confidence was then
thoroughly established and the system
adopted by the British navy.
The dreams of Marconi began to be
realized when in March, 1899, he re-
ceived official permission from the
French authorities for an experiment
between Dover and Calais. BY this
time his success in sending wireless
rDocroUaS oypr long distances In some
instances thirty-two miles, attracted
the attention of Emperor William Of
Germany, who instructed experts to
experiment with the wireless system
for the benefit Of the German army
and navy. 1t Is said that nearly every
experiment made was a success.
Marconi finally decided to come here
and show US his wonders. After DEM
onstrating the usefulness Of the system
and reporting the international yacht
races he established a wireless station
on Nantucket South Shoals lightship,
forty-two miles offshore, and another
at Siasconsett, island of Nantucket. A
set Of instruments had been placed on
the steamship Lucania, bound for this
port, and messages were exchanged
which told the whereabouts of the Lu-
cania twelve hours earlier than would
otherwise have been known. More am
bilious experiments followed, and Mar
Coni's latest achievement is evidence
that wireless telegraphy is about to
become a fact and not theory only.

IMPORTED A PALACE
HOW MRS. JACK GARDNER HAS STAR
TIED BOSTON SOCIETY.

Now She Is to Open Her Venetian
Made Residence With Grand
Housewarming Party-AnOther BOs-
ton Woman strives to Guido Her.
That Mrs. Jack Gardner Of Boston
never does things by halves in a social
way has been shown time after time,
and society is on the tiptoe Of eXpec-
fancy for the new surprise she has in
store for it. Some time ago Mrs. Gard
ner decided there was nothing quaint
or novel enough for her in American
architecture and so she went abroad
and purchased a Venetian palace. This
was brought to America and rebuilt on
spacious grounds in the Hub and will
be thrown open to her friends on Jan.
g. Her enterprise has been kept as Sc
cret as possible, and it is only recently
that a description of the palace was
secured.
1t was about a year ago that Mrs.
Gardner decided upon the building Of
her Italian gardens. She found pal
ace in Venice which was for sale, with
furnishings from the roof down. She
bought it, had it dismantled and each
separate piece packed for shipment to
Boston. There in Back Bay Fens, she
had old world artisans put every stone
and pilaster into place again.
One of the two main entrances to the
palace is near Huntington avenue, and
this leads into narrow corridor from
which opens a long and spacious music
hall. At the farther end Of this hall is
q stage, which is said to be large
enough to seat the entire Symphony or
chestra. On either side of the second
entrance are reception rooms, and be-
yond them is a corridor with arches Of
red brick and a red tiled floor. Be-
yond this arched passage is the court
yard, which occupies the center Of the
palace. 1t is so by rs feet in dimen-
sions and is covered with a roof Of
glass. Around it on the lower floor is
an arcade, with beautiful Corinthian
columns of white marble, and opening
on its four sides are large square win
dows on the three upper stories.
There are some wide corridors on the

treasures have been placed

Fame by Chance

The story of William Allen Whites
sudden leap into fame through his
whats the matter with Kansas"
editorial Is familiar to everybody, but
1t is not generally known by what a
narrow opportunity Mr.. White got
there. 1t was in the summer, and Mr..
Whites wife was at Colorado Springs
He was about to join her there for a
rest and had written in advance ed
itorials enough to carry along his pa
per during his absence. SO at least
he thought, and he was leaving the
office when his foreman came in and
asked what provision he had made for
the editorial columns during his alb
sence.
There on that hook" said the ed
itor, pointing to q spike on his desk
upon which was impaled n quantity
of manuscript. The foreman detained
Mr.. White while he glanced it over
and announced that there wasn't
enough copy.
"Give me a little more" he pleaded,
'and I'll manage to get along"
"AlI right" said the editor, dropping
into his chair. He thought a few mo-
ments, dashed off the vigorous para
graphs, handed them to the foreman
and went off for his train.
When he returned, he found his desk
heaped two feet deep with letters and
himself a national character. 1t was
that last editorial that did it.

CARE OF THE TEETH.
How 40 Beautify and Preserve Them
From Decay.

How TO Heauttfy and PreHeFve Them
From Decay.
Without good teeth there cannot be
good mastication.
Without thorough mastication there
cannot be perfect digestion, and poor
health results.
Hence the paramount Importance of
sound teeth.
Clean teeth do not decay.
The Importance of sound first set
OF teeth is as great to the child as q
sound second set is to the adult
Children should be taught to use the
toothbrush early.
Food left on the teeth ferments, and
the acid formed produces decay.
Decay leads in time to pain and the
total destruction of the tooth.
The substance of the following rules
should therefore be impressed upon all
children:
The teeth should be cleansed ut least
once daily.
The best time to clean the teeth is
after the last meal.
y small toothbrush with stih DrlStles
should be used, brushing up and down
and across and inside and outside and
in betw cen the teeth.
A simple tooth powder or little soap
and some preciEitated chalk taken up
on the brush may be used if the teeth
are dirty or stained.
1t is a good practice to rinse the
mouth out after every meal.
All rough usage of the teeth, such as
cracking nuts, biting thread, etc,
should be avoided, but the proper use
of the teeth in chewing Is good for
them.
When decay occurs, it should be at.
tended TO long before any pain results.
1t is stopping of small cavity that Is
of the greatest service.

1t is claimed on behalf Of the rail-
roads that this company cannot be af-

transaction. On the other hand, the
Minnesota courts in 1895 decided
against the validity of a lease of the
Northern Pacific to the Great Northern

as the basis of the present antimerger
movement. 1t may be that here will

quently the case. Every road should
have side bitches, even one that runs
straight down the side of hill. The
steepest road needs the side ditch most,
but often has none. Frequently the
water runs down the middle Of the
road on side hill and wears it into
gullies, which are a discomfort and
perhaps dangerous in both wet weather
and dry. The water must not be suf-
fered to run in the road, but must be
made to run off the road.

with its beams so arranged as to form
fifteen square panels. Set in these

here is a Gothic room, with one large
rose window and others, smaller, Of
stained glass. This room Is fitted up
with carved settles and space left for
an altar and will no doubt be used as
chapel.
Mrs. Gardner's apartments are in the
upper story of the palace. Her suit
extends across the front Of the build
ing and consists of a boudoir, sleeping
and bath rooms. The walls Of the
boudoir are hung with red tapestry,
the bathroom is tiled in white, and
four inscriptions in Latin are on the
walls. In the sleeping room is u carved
marble fireplace, which was formerly
in Mrs. Gardner's Beacon street home.
The servants quarters are also in the
upper story and are comfortable and
spacious, and there is no lack Of clos
cts and pantries Across the rear Of
the building extends a large dining
hall.
The palace contains all the modern
improvements and Conveniences, but
these have been so concealed as to in
no way mar the beauty of the archi-
lecture or to seem incongruous with
the Venice of the middle ages. The
building will be lighted by electricity
and heated by hot air coming through
openings in the walls. All the larger
rooms have freplaces, with hoods Of
various designs. The ballroom In the
palace is said to be the largest private
room of its kind in that city.
Mrs. Gardeners Venetian palace will
not be the only one in Boston, how.
ever. Her social rival, Mrs. Charles
