Thus it will be seen that while the

on governor and congressman, indicat.
ing strong republican gain in the
the county over two years ago, when
Mckinley carried it by 100 majority,
the democrats have at the same time
captured four of the best offices in the

reasons and causes for this if you can,
fellow republicans, and then perhaps
it can be remedied two years hence.
The vote given is not official, nor
probably not absolutely accurate, but
the official count can not change these

After nearly perishing on HIS third

rived at his destination" S~S '--ss'
Mr.. de Windt left Paris ON December
10, 1901, with three. companions, deters
mined to demonstrate that the pro-
posed Transsiberian and Alaskan rail-
road was practicable, and that it would
be possible to make the journey. from
Paris to New York by rail if such line
was ever constructed.
We have no doubt that the railroad
willsbe constructed some time, and be-
levS it viii not be many years before
onemay take the trip by rail, y said Mr..
de Windt. '"Ten thousand dollars, how
ever, would not induce me to take the
same trip again aswe made it,
De Windt and his companions were
found nearly dead from exposure in a
caveaon the Siberian coast by Capt. Cot
tie, of the whaler William Bayliss.
This, was early last June. They
crossed Behring sea~in the United
States revenue cutter Thetis, and after
that their hardships were nearly over.
The story Of their trip is continu-
Gus record of struggle against mighty
obstacles. Undaunted by two previous
failures they fought their way on, de-
termined to succeed. The first stage
of the journey was made over the
Transsiberian railway. This took
them as far as Irkutsk. There they
embarked on trip of 1000 miles to
Yakutsk, travelling the entire distance
in horse ssleighs. Yakutsk& has the
reputation Of being the coolest town
on earth, and Mr.. de Windt declares
the reputation is well earned.

there is no doubt that animals talk in
certain ways among themselves. In

guffaw when they came to rob mans

appreciated the joke themselves.
Again, he heard gorilla, which had

another that was long way off. He

ventor and graduate of Yale. He
has perfected the DeForest receiver, or

glass tube, open at both ends and hold
ing in its bore two small wires. Be-
tween the ends of this is is placed a.
small bit of special paste which or
dinarily offers passage for the local
current. When the electrical wave

the resistance of this device, but its
conductivity is automatically restored
the instant the. electrical wave has
passed. i.1sa. a @.a
- A telephone receiver in circuit with
the responder will give sound which
is an exact reproduction of the sound
of the sending spark, from which

> No relay, or tappin9gg-back device is
required, as is the'case with Marconi's
receiver. Hence the simplicity and the
great speed of transmission possible
with the De Forest system.
During the last week two operators
of the De Forest Wireless Telegraph
company accomplished feat which,
while new in the annals ofwireless tel
egraphy, is only significant of the
possibilities before the responder or

with the telephone.

and compelling them to give up their
treasures was left for the last half of
the nineteenth century, and for an
American. That pioneer well, on
Watson's fats, with production of 20
barrels day for year, was but the
forerunner of the phenomenal "gush-
ers" that were to come, and was the be-
ginning of wonderful industry and
one unparalleled in the history of the
past. Hitherto worthless lands
brought fortunes to their owners;
towns sprung up in night; exchanges
were instituted and men were in a
frenzy to obtain their portion of the
wealth which flowed from the deep
confines of Mother Earth. Men such
as Drake, those whose deeds benefit
all future generations, are the ones
whose likenesses "should be cast in
deathless bronze" and whose names
should be honored for all time to come.

messages were received and read
simultaneously by the two operators
listening at two separate telephone re-
ceivers attached to- one and the
same De Forest responder, and
without any especial attuning or
syntoning device in circuit. One
message was from the De Forest
Staten island station and was sent
quite rapidly, 80 words per min
sute, with a high-frequency spark Gao
per second). The other was from some
foreign station, evidently Marconi
installation. The speed was about ten
words per minute, sent with low-fre-
quency interrupter. One operator con-
centfated his attention upon the
Staten island message while the other
was able to pick out by their peculiar
drumming sound the signals from the
other station.
& The fact that without any tuning de-
vice this can be accomplished with one
and the same, responder demonstrates
the advantages of the. telephone re-
ceiver over any sounder or tape-re-
cording device, and the greater i'm
munity of the De Forest system from
atmospheric and foreign disturb
ances.
So far as has been published two
simultaneous messages is the record
to-day for any tuned or syntonized
system in its present development, and
it is interesting to know that, with two
styles of interrupter and sending
speed sufficiently diversified, the same
can be accomplished by the human
ear listinening in telephone con-
nected with De Forest responder.
Last week also the De Forest opera
tors established new record as to
speed in its wireless transmission. "A
commercial message 4S words in
length was transmitted and success
fully read at the rate of So words per
minute. This is by far the fastest
speed yet attained by the wireless tele-
graph, being five times asarapid as is
ordinarily attained by the coherer sys-
tenn, such as Marconi commonly uses,
which only has speed of ten or twelve
words minute.

impressed by the fact that even in a
tropical forest animals have to work
hard for living. Some of them travel
miles every day to get food, and have
all kinds of trouble in finding safe
place to spend the night. Even ele-
plants are very careful about their
sleeping places. They hate snakes, and
before lying down they carefully tram
pie over a large area to kill or drive
out reptiles and rodents. And big as
they are they go in herds for greater
safety.
