VIII Turn Bonds Into Money.

New York, Dec 30,--It is reported in
Wall street that at an auction sale by
Adrian H. Muller & Co., per cent bonds
of the Carnegie Steel company sold at
III 3-S.
Andrew Carnegie rendered $l0OO0,0O0
in these bonds to the government for the
Washington Memorial university for orig
inal research and the sale is believed by
some to Indicate that Mr.. Carnegie has
begun to convert the bonds into money
in order that the government should be
relieved from any embarrassment on ac-
count of the bonds.
At the price realized the $4,000, 900
in bonds would be equivalent to ST. $751;
500, substantial increase of the prom
ised endowment.
President Roosevelt has received in,
formation from Andrew Carnegie that is
expected to enable him to submit to con-
gress a form of gift of $l0,00000O to the
United States for higher education. This
offer will not be in bonds of the United
States Steel corporation, but will be in a
form expected to be generally satisfac-
tory. The gift is likely to be in cash or
in securities drawing annual interest.

The Trade Dollar, at Republic
Wash. is still producing the same
class of high ore reported two
weeks since. 1t is of fine quality in
both north and south drifts on the 299
foot level. Native gold is visible in
most of the ore. Fair progress is be-
ing made. 1t is now established beyond
a doubt that the Trade Dollar has a
very long pay shoot. Rapid progress
is being made in driving the tunnel on
the Golden Lion-Little Four, adjoining
the Mountain Lion, on the north.

ing to tap the bottom of the old shaft.
When completed the mine will be dry

Sandstone in California,

Santa Ana, Cal, Dec. 29.-This section

astrous wind and sandstorm known in
over 30 years. The high pressure of at

with a velocity of over 40 miles an hour.
With the wind came pillars of sand,
which, in this city, blew up the streets
and to the height of 20 and 80 inches
completely covered everything in sight
Windows and plate glass fronts were
broken, outbuildings carried away and
everything not substantially fastened was
hoisted in the air

The Marconi system.

The experiments of Marconi with
wireless telegraphy have awakened
great interest. especially since it wa:
reported that he had exchanged com
munlcations between Newfoundland
and the British isles. The marvellous
feat of sending messages over an ex.
panse of water distance Of 1900 miles
has naturally attracted attention in
commercial circles, and among all PEG
pie there is a curiosity to know what
the modus operandi is.
Marconi says that when he wishes to
bridge distances, and it is not necessary
that signals be sent in any definite di-
rection, he uses an ordinary transmit.
ter. 1t is made of two small spheres,
connected by wire, one with the earth
and the other with a vertical conductor
of some height, called the aerial CON
ductor."
When he wishes to direct a beam of
lindrical parabolic reflector placed in
the proper focal line.
The system of operation is simple
The key is pressed and the electrical
current is discharged through the
spark gap between the spheres. The
discharge is an ogcillating one. The
spheres and conductor become a radia-
tor of electrical waves BY pressing the
ordinary telegraph key at long or short
intervals long or short waves are made.
these affect the distant receiver at long
or short intervals, producing the dots
and dashes of the Morse alphabet.
Without reflectors the Geographic sig
nails radiate in all directions and affect
all receivers within distance; with re-
Electors it is possible to throw the cleo
trio rays in one almost parallel beam.
The wireless system of Mr.. Marconi
has passed out Of the experimental
stage and is already being adapted to
commercial needs, cables the London
correspondent of the New York Her
aid.
Arrangements have been entered into
between the Marconi company, the Lon
don & Brighton railway and the CORE
spending French railway company to
have an installation of a permanent
character between iNewhaven and
Dieppe. The departure of boats will be
signaled, with instructions as to the
amount of luggage, number of passen-
gers and other useful information, and
it will no longer be necessary for the
friends of the passengers to wait
hours at either end when fog has de-
layed the boats starting

Tried to XIII All.

Turner's Falls, Mass, Jan. Louis
Bitter, a jeweler of this place, shot five
persons, two of whom, his clerk. Miss Ida
Columbe, and Bitzer's year old son, are
dead. His other victims were his wife,
Christina, and his two daughters, Annie,
about l6 years of age, and Carrie, II
years old. 1t is thought they will not
die. There is evidence that it was Bitzers
purpose also to take his own life, but
his prompt arrest apparently prevented
him from carrying out this purpose. He
is about 80 years of age. He is believed
to be insane.
