'Mr. Marconi, in regard to the very
important question of making the mes

not pick them up and read them in
their flight, what is to be said?'
''They can be made perfectly exclu-

mitters and receivers tuned in unison.
Then only the properly tuned receiver
can take the messages, and all other
receivers would get nothing"
Eyes, L understand But how great
a range is there at your disposal in
euning the Instruments? Can you
make, let us say for the sake of illus
tratiOn, as great a variety of tuned
ransmitters and receivers responding
only to one another as a manufacturer
of Yale locks can make of locks that
will open only to their proper keys?"
''Well, l cannot say just how great
the range is. but it would seem to be
very great, because we have millions
of vibrations to choose from, and, even
if it were necessary to have 1000 vi
bratiOns covering the field of each set
of instruments, yet with millions to Sc
lect from thousands of such sets, each
Independent of all the others, could be
made. Suppose, for instance, we had
10000, 600 vibrations available and we
allotted them in sets of 1000 to differ

Mr.. Shear. who is Il lawyer and repre-

CATION. said the other night that the
case is now being heard by Charles
Mas as referee. Mr.. Shear said the
elder Mrs. Quackenbos died in 1889,
leaving the money in her sons hands
as trustee He invested the money,
the lawyer said, and for long time
paid interest to Mrs. Shear and Miss
Duncan. They had received no inter
est i neightecn months up to a few
weeks ago. when application was made
to the surrogate for an accounting and
also for the professors removal as ex-
eoutor.
In the course of the hearings before
the referee counsel for Professor
Quackenbos. desired to call Miss Dun
can as Il witness, but she evaded serv-
ice of summons until Christmas morn
ing. Mr.. Shear said the old lady every
year receives at Christmas n pie from
an old friend. When the basement
bell rang that morning and Il young
woman, bearing a steaming mince pie,
asked for Miss Duncan, she was admit
ted without suspicion. Miss Duncan
met her in the parlor, and the messen-
ger placed the pie in her hands. Across
the upper crust lay n summons direct
ing her to appear before the surrogate
as witness.
The ruse succeeded only partly. Mr..
Shear said the subDpna was ONLY n
copy of the original order. AS soon as
lie discovered this fact he explained to
the surrogate that the service was in
valid. and for that reason Miss Dun
can has not appeared as Il witness in
the case. The lawyer said the pie ap-
peared to be an excellent one, but it
formed no part of the Christmas din
ner.
Professor Quackenbos declined to be
seen at his home in New York.

senc a supply of blood to parts Of the
body in extraordinary quantities A
man balanced on the muscle board
will find his feet sinking if he goes
through mental leg gymnastics, but
does not make the movements. 1t is in
some of the experiments of this nature
that students of the psychological phe-
nomena have found data to study also,
not that the theories are new, but the
tests to prove them are new, Mosso's
brain test excepted.
DIR. Anderson said on this point to
reporter of the New York Herald at
New Haven: II have found that men
who exercise in Il listless, automatic
or mechanical manner do not change
the center of gravity to'a great extent,
but in nearly every case when a man
takes his special series of movements
in conscious or highly volitional man.
ner the supply of blood to the arms or
legs was very noticeable, and the line
of gravity went up or down markedly.
IF two men exercise the arms and
thoraX, taking the same exercises, one
standing before n large looking glass.
the other not, the former will show
higher center OF gravity than the lat
ter, indicating 4 richer blood supply TO
parts. This is merely another illustra-
ton of conscious versus mechanical
methods of exercise.
can interesting result of these eX-
periments has been to throw new light
on our knowledge of blood supply to
the legs in sprinting or short distance
running. The belief prevails that in
short distance running there is no.
ticeable blood supply TO the legs. The
tests conducted with the muscle board
seem to prove the opposite. In nearly
every case the center of gravity has
risen after short runs. showing that
the blood has been pressed out of the
large leg muscles by rapid and forceful
contraction. The Psychologist may here
see some explanation of second wind

To settle mOoted point among phys
iologists-whether the center of grav-
ity in the human body is affected by
changing the position Of the arms, and
also TO determine where the center of
gravity is in a horizontally placed hui
man body-Dr. William 6. Anderson OF
Yale university began Il series of eX-
haustive experiments in the university
gymnasium several months ago. Sew
eral college athletes were the subjects
who aided him.
In the course of the experimentation
and to facilitate the investigation DR..
Anderson invented an apparatus to
which he has given the name of mus
Gle bed" In appearance it suggests q
surgeons operating table, balanced in
the middle. Incidental to the main in
vestigation DIR. Anderson has been led
to study other points in physical devel-
opment and collaterally has verified
what DR.. Angelo Mosso of Turin, Italy,
thought he discovered several years
ago when he announced that he be-
lieved that under mental excitement
there is a rush of blood circulation to
the brain so great that if the body is
placed horizontally the head will sink
or tend to sink.
This, DR.. Anderson says. is true even
when the excitement is so slight as the
solution by mental processes Of the
simplest problem of addition, subtrac-
ton or multiplication. Remarkable in
stances of the sort have been found
when DIR. Anderson has balanced stu
dents oil the muscle board" before
written examinations, taking the read
ings on the plane, and has balanced
them immedif tely after the written ex-
aminations, noting the difference in
the readings on the plane.
After the mental efforts the center
of gravity changed from n sixteenth of
an inch to almost two and one-half
inches This shows extra circulation
in the upper extremities. 1t has even
been found that mere thought Will

exercises that subjects found agreea-
bic and those that they found disagree
able to perform. The movements in
which they found pleasure sent Il rich
err supply of blood to parts than did
those movements which were not to
their liking. The plythysmograph
shows that pleasurable thought sends
blood to the brain, disa agreeable
thoughts drive blood from the brain.
obviously it is not possible to state
conclusions definitely upon the limited
data at hand thus far in these expert
ments. They cannot be given except
tentatively But it will be safe to say
that the following statements will APP
proximate the final results, namely:
"First.-That n person will get bet
ter results from his exercise if he will
attend to it consciously and with
thought BY better results / mean Il
richer blood supply and a healthier
metamorphosis of tissue.
'Second.-That in some ways it is
better for people to exercise before Il
looking glass.
'.Third.-That short distance running,
in driving the blood out of the legs,
causes a resultant blood stasis in the
trunk or around the lungs, which may
account for the first loss of wind, and
later when the blood flows more regu-
larry into the legs the sprinter gets his
second wind.
"Fourth.-That exercise that is inter
esting is of greater worth than that
which is not interesting, and all out Of
door sports, athletics. rowing, swim
ming, boxing and games. are better
means of physical development than
uninteresting oft repeated gymnastic
drills"

that they viii provide for a larger num-
Der than originally.
For the conduct of the experimental
part of the work the following plan has
been determined upon. \ spot contain
ing some 5000 acres will be fenced off
in some centrally located range. This
will be divided into thirty plots for the
trying out Of as many different grasses.
The central idea VIII be TO find some
grass which viii be permanent, luXu-
RANT and hardy. Seeds from all over
the world will be used, and many from
Africa and South America have al
ready been received.
When the correct grass is found,
the government and states will be call
ed upon 10 actively cooperate with the
railroads to Teseed the plains. The gov
eminent will be asked to make n large
appropriation for the purchase and
sowing OF the seed throughout the
range country and the state will be
asked TO provide for state lands every
where.
All Of this will mean an enormous
work, but each passing year renders
it more imperative. The greatest part
of the work viii be the protection of
that part of the country reseeded until
the new grass has sufficient start to
maintain itself. This is n vast prob
lem, and the government will be called
upon to bring its authority to bear in
the matter

Plan TO Re Tried Is to Sow Three
to See which Is the Most Suitable.
Proposed to Begin the Work Early
Next Spring.
1t has just been given out by railroads
with headquarters in Omaha, Neb., that
n plan is now on foot which contem-
plates the ultimate reseeding of all the
western ranges, says the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. The preliminary portion of
the scheme, itself Il work of great mag
nitude, involves extensive experiment.
ing with the cultivation of different
range grass seeds with view to deter
mining those best suited TO the purpose.
This proposition is one of great sig
nificance and many ramifications.
Should it be carried TO a successful is
sue the ranges of Utah, Nebraska, Wy
oming, Montana, Nevada and Idaho
will be vastly affected. If the proper
grass plant can be found, the different
railroads interested in these states win
so to great expense TO further the
plant.
The railroads expect the government
to help promote the scheme as soon as
they show the matter to be practical.
The different states to be benefited viii
also be asked TO contribute a share OF
the general expense incurred in carry
ing the plans to maturity.
The men who are at the head of the
plans declare the scheme for reseeding
the ranges to be of more Importance to
the country than irrigation, because the
former will if carried out be far more
extensive in its scope and in the bene-
fits resulting from it's adoption. The
territory which can be benefited by ir-
is limited because of the inabil-
ity to secure more than a certain
amount of water from certain streams.
The territory to be benefited by reseed-
ing is only limited by the extent of the
ranges of the west.
The entire plan is said to be so well
mapped out that the actual working
out of the first step viii begin with the
early spring. II. c. JUdson, industrial
agent of the Oregon Railway and Nav
igation company, is said to be slated
for the experimental part which will be
first attempted. He is now in charge
of the experimental farm of his road
at Walla Walla, Wash, and is already
making careful preliminary tests along
the line suggested.
Western ranges have been very much
and injured by over
of herds in the past few
years. Sheep particularly have been
the cause of the trouble, as they are
very destructive to grasses. What they
do not dig out with their sharp teeth
they punch in with their equally sharp
hoofs. and if punched beyond a reason
able limit they can entirely destroy all
growth except the sage grass.
As result of the deterioration OF the
range in ma1y places it now requires
two and three times as many acres to
provide for a given number of cattle
IS formerly. The railroads expect by
reSeedinG TO so improve these ranges

Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas on the

the stock question, What do you think
of this country?' To which have in
variably replied by the several COM
monplace compliments demanded by
the occasion.
Now, I am leaving this country early
next week, and have written, sonnet
which embodieS some of my views on
America and the American people. and
as there appears to be widespread

willing to let you have the sonnet, pro-
vidcd that you will give it q prominent

alton for my work, and as 1 under

that the officials knew the animal was
