press correspondent. It is the inven-
ton Of German professor, improved
and perfected by NJ. Charles Heller, an
electrical engineer residing in France.
Tne apparatus consists of an ordina-
ry arc lamp, minus the globe. This
lamp Is placed on table and is con
nectad nm tho one hand with micro
phone, which can be placed at any dis
tance sven miles away On the cur
rent being passed and the lamp alight
anybody singing or speaking in front
or over the microphone board is imme-
diately heard by everybody in the
room where the lamp Is placed. The
arc lamp reproduces every sound with
startling clearness. 1t is necessary,
however, for people looking at the
lamp to wear smoked glasses, owing to
it's intensity.
The invention is decidedly ingenious,
but at present it is difficult to see what
useful purpose it can serve, except as
a substitute for the theatrophone, over
lowing a hundred or more persons to
listen to concert miles away instead
Of only two, as is the case with the
theatrophone. The inventor, however,

wheat corner a few years ago, it is
said, will engage in the mining of coal
and manufacture Of coke. According
to report, Letter has secured large
tract of coal land in Franklin county,
Ill, and he will proceed at once to de-
velop it by sinking two shafts at
spot near Benton.
Letter will build 1000 coke ovens
and will utilize the product of the coal
mines in turning out coke, says a
New York dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press. It is also said that he will
build houses for the hundreds Of en-
.ployees at the mines and ovens and
will lay out town called Zeigler, this
being the middle name Of his father,

plans to employ 1000 men at once,

MARcoNps WORK.

Some Conclusions of the Inventor OF
Wireless Telegraphy.
P. T. McGrath, editor Of The Evening
Herald, st. Johns, N. f., contributes
to the March Century an article. on
Marconi's work which the inventor au-
thentieates. in a predatory note The
writer says: r..
| In one Of our many talks aA the St.
! Johns station Mr.. Marconi gave me
this digest Of his conclusions:
The wireless agency is most effective
over marine areas. The unbroken sur
| face of the ocean enables distances to
| be obtained and results achieved which
cannot be approached on land. Over
| low lying country two-thirds of the
distance can be reached, but over tracts
where the usual diversified topograph-
icaI features are found the potency Of
the vibrations is reduced to one-half
what it is at sea. High hills do not con-
stitute an obstacle, but the ground it.
self retards the signals. The vibrations
seem to reach slightly farther in fog
than In fine weather; atmospheric con-
ditions do not seriously affect them;
electrical disturbances are their only
foe. Mr. Marconrs later experiments
appear to indicate that q pole 200 feet
high gives the best results, as the wire
suspended from it comes into contact
with sufficiently varied atmosphere
strata, while at the same time it can be
made thick enough to receive sub
stantial electrical influence from the ia
dating ether waves which are caught
by it. With a balloon or kite elevated
to an altitude or 400 feet or so the wire
must be very slight, and the ceaseless
swaying of the upholder also lnterferes
with the reception Of definite signals.
Strangely enough, a horizontal aerial
wire is Of no value, gives out no energy
for his purposes and was long ago dis
carded Nor is it an advantage in ma
rine signaling to set up the pole or kite
on high hill.
Proximity to the sea is desirable, and
a low lying spit near the ocean Is best.
Another less interesting circumstance
is that every piece of ground will not
serve for the locating Of station.
Some geological formations are per-
verse; others are responsive. Signaling
from one headland distance of 200
miles may be reached; from another
the range may be only half that. On
ships the aerial wire is suspended from
the top of the mast, hanging loosely
down among the stays and rigging. It
is composed of copper and steel and
will stand consid derable strain. Henters
the operators room at the deck, and
the mechanical features are similar to T
those of an ordinary telegraph office.

welt Chose the Course.
Prince Henry accepted President
| Roosevelt's second invitation to take a
| horseback ride the other afternoon
| when the prince, accompanied by his
suit, made his farewell call at the
White House, says q Washington dis
patch to the New York Tribune. An
appointment for the ride was made the
day before, but it was cancelled the
next day on account of the rainstorm
At 3:45 p. m., when the president re
newed his invitation, Prince Henry ac-
cepted. With extraordinary haste he
went to the German embassy, to change
his admiraPs uniform for civilian
clothes and tan riding boots. Hurry or
ders were given to the grooms at the
White House stable to get ready two
horses one for the president and one
to be led Immediately to the embassy,
in Massachusetts avenue, for Prince
Henry.
Just after 4 o'clock President Roose-
velt arrived at the embassy on horse
back to meet the prince. Black clouds
hung overhead, and the downpour of
rain has seldom been more intense.
Amid the cheers Of a small crowd
which had gathered in front Of the en-
bassy despite the storm the president
and Prince Henry started In little
over an hour they covered fifteen miles.
The going was Of the heaviest sort.
Side by side they urged their steeds
ahead, dashing up and down hills, rae
ing on level roads, fording swollen
streams and plunging into thick woods
where no other riders than the presi-
dent and his orderly had been to estab- |
lish bride path.
The course was selected by the presi-
dent From the embassy they went out
Fifteenth street three squares to @ I
street, where they cut through to Six
teenth street, which Is one of the fash
ionable residence streets of Washing
ton. In this they rode until they left
the concrete pavement No sooner had.l
their horses trod on the earth roads
than the president led off in a gallop.
Through six inches OF mud down the
steep hill on the Pierce's mill road they
went. Reaching the bottom Of the hill,
they walked their horses for a few
yards and forded Rock creek, whose
waters were flowing into the Potomac
river with extraordinary force. Cross
ing the creek with jump, the presi-
dent and the prince dashed up high
hiIl passing by Blagden's private deer
reserve, and on they rode at full speed
until they reached Brightwood, one OF
Washington's northern suburbs, sever
al miles from the city. At this point
the rain held up for two or three min
utes. The sky In the west had cleared,
and the prince remarked enthusiastic
ally that the landscape before him was
a verv beautiful one .

D0minion Omcfa1s, 1t Is Said, Will
Make a Concerted Effort to Induce
Immigration of Burghers From
South Africa to the Northwestern
Old Boer's Views. -...
Although the present minister of ag
sficulture in the Dominion cabinet is
Btrenuously opposed to the exploitation
of government plans and projects in
the press and particularly in the news
papers Of the United States, have
learned that concerted effort is to be
made to induce Boer immigration to
canada at the close Of the war, writes
the Buffalo correspondent of the New
York Commercial Advertiser. An Off
cial who is high in the department of
agriculture assured me on recent Wis
it to the Canadian capital that the mat
ter has been the subject of considera-
BILE correspondence between the Cana
dian government and the British colo
nial Office and that these will work in
concert when the time arrives to dis
perse the camps at st. Helena and Ber-
muda and begin the work Of restora-
fion.
"a near relative Of mine," said this
official, "who was one Of the first Brit
dsh soldiers to fall into the hands Of
the Beers at Spion Kop, had long and
frequent conversations with his cap
tors, all of whom expressed their de-
termination to emigrate from South
Africa unless the war terminated in an
unconditional surrender by the British
AOf the country to the Beers His letters
TO me are in the hands of the Canadian
immigration officials and undoubtedly
had much to do with the project, now
well advanced, to attract the sturdy
burghers to this country (Canada).
Here is copy of one Of the letters in
question:
''One Of my guards, picturesque old
burgher of siXty-tWo years, big, powerful,
injured to all sorts of hardships and priva-
:fions and as dirty as he was strong, ask
ed many questions about the far distant
British colonies 1t was plain to see that
he was in earnest, for the Boer Is very
serious animal, and in return for my
gratuitous lectures on Canada and AUS
fralia the old man of the veldt unburden-
ed his soul to me. He was English born
,Rnd educated, but he had spent thirty
years of his life in roughing it in South
Africa, and his ready speech, once he de-
se3ded to talk, surprised .nA was like
wise surprised by his general knowledge

you the Boer is not the ignoramus he is
80 often pictured to be in the British
press.
-"This old man told me that he had
heard Of the proposal by the British to
mpply to subjugated South Africa a sys-
tenn Of government similar to that obtain

said. Canada was never oppressed by
British rule, as we have been. Ever since
the French were driven out the people
have been In accord with British institu-
sfions. They have delighted in the pres
ence OF an army of British redcoats that
has not been wholly withdrawn after all
these years of freedom. II Great Britain
thinks It necessary to maintain an army

apply the same system to the new South
Africa. Now, the Beers would resent the
s1nevitable presence Of an army Of English

The atmospheric conditions changed
in minute, and with thunder and
lightning came terrific downpour Of
rain, which seemed to increase as the
horsemen sped on their way. AS the
echoing thunder rolls died away the
president, having just crossed rustic
bridge, spurred his horse, turned him
suddenly and dashed up steep hill at
full speed, the prince Immediately fol-
lowing. To this point they had been
on the military road, but thence on
they went over hills and across creeks
and bitches for several miles to the
Woodley Lane road. Here they jump
ed low fence and for fifteen minutes
plunged through more woods until they
reached one Of the most beautiful drive
ways in the National Geological park
The elevation Of this roadway is about
400 feet, and there is fine view to be
had overlooking the creek for nearly q
mile. Along this roadway the presi-
dent and the prince galloped, the rain
still pouring down in torrents. A few
minutes more and they reached the
north end Of the Connecticut avenue
bridge, where they halted for second
while the president pointed to tum-
bledoWn shack on hill which was for
many years known in Washington as
'the haunted house." Over the bridge
they were again near the concreted
streets, and as soon as the horses left
the soft roads President Roosevelt
stretched out his hand and congratu-
lated Prince Henry.
Entering Massachusetts, avenue, they
walked their horses for seven or eight
blocks to the German embassy. With
out dismounting, the president and the
prince doffed their felt hats, shook
hands and bade each other farewell.
It was memorable ride and thorough
ly enjoyable to both the prince and the
president. For the greater part Of the
ride President Roosevelt talked to the
prince about the army and how caval-
rymen rode. It was only occasionally
that Prince Henry had chance to
talk, but he was constantly noddfng
his head in assent to what the presi.
dent said.

Qunint COrOnation..

Apropos of the coronation of King
Edward it is interesting to note that
Spain, though country where the
sovereign only takes the oath to re-
spect the laws and constitution, once
had a crowned and anointed king. This
was Pedro II. of Aragon, who assembled
the throne in 1896, and took it into his
head to go and be crowned in Rome by
the pope. The holy father was moth
ing 10th to encourage such proof of
submission to the holy see and he
crowned and anointed Don Pedro with
his own holy hands in the church of
San Pancrozio. Spanish authors add
a quaint detail to this historic fact. 1t
appears that Don Pedro having hea I'd
that the popes used their feet to place
the crown on the head of the recipient,
and not liking the idea, had his crown
made of wafer paper. such as is used
for the host, and ornamented with
precious stones, so that the pope was
obliged by the extreme fragility of
the object to use his hands to lift it
and place it on the kneeling sover-
eign's brow.-London Mail.
