TWO KINDS OF WAVES
THE LIGHT AND THE ELECTRIC
English Scientists Study of a Prob
lem Connected With Wire
less TeleEraphy.

Noao York Sun Special SeTvsos
London, Jan. 10.-Professor Fleming lee
turing On Waves before the Royal In
stitution, referred to Marconi's trans
Atlantic communication. He said he had
been comparing light waves with electric
waves and found they were both waves in
the ether. which bent around obstacles
they encountered. They travelled at about
the same speed of $4,000 miles a second.
Marconi's transatlantic waves were
about 1000 feet long, which was not very
small compared with the obstacles they
had to encounter that is, the hill Of water
forming the curvature of the earth, which
he calculated was about 40 miles above
a straight line joining the Lizard and
Newfoundland. The bending required,
therefore, was not great compared with
the distance, being comparable to wave
1100th of an inch in length bending round
an obstacle 18th of an inch high. -
It was an interesting question, contin-
ued the lecturer, whether it was possible
to send an electric wave around the world.
He did not presume to answer the ques-
ton, but he suggested that it was an in
teresting possibility. He had already
shown that water is opaque to the Hert-
zian waves and he believed it likely that
the upper strata OF air, being highly rari-
fed, were also opaque to these waves.
He imagined that by internal reflection
between these two opacities beam of
rays could always be confined between
them and so, provided the impulse was
strong enough, it could be, made to pass
any distance sandwiched between them
independently of the curvature of the
earth.

GOODNOW IS CRITICIZED
LECTURE OF pouLTNEY B1GELoW
Speaker snid Goodnow Had Done
Much to Tower the United
States Standing.

Without mentioning any names, Poult-
new Bigelow, in his lecture at the state
university last night, sharply criticized
John GoodnoW, consul general at Shang-
hal, and q graduate Of the university.
Mr.. Bigelow referred to the incident in a
Shanghai club, which resulted in Good
now S being slapped in the face, and said
that the sympathy of club members had
been with his assailant. He also accused
the Minneapolis man of compelling mis-
sionaries who had been married in the
interior to make the long and tedious
journey to Shanghai so that he might
pocket the marriage fees. He thought
that GoodnoW had done much to lower
the nations standing in the orient.
The subject of the lecture was prob
lens of Colonization" and in it Mr.. Bige-
low spoke not only Of the United States
as colonizing nation. but dwelt upon
the experience of various European ma
lions. Portugal, Spain, France and even
Germany, he thought, had been failures
as colonizers while the modern tendency
OF Great Britain was to withdraw as far
as practicable from the field and give
other nations chance. England had
only succeeded in her work after many
failures and by adopting the expedient OF
lifting her colonial policies to the char
acter of the people she ought to gov
ern, line of action that had resulted in
various forms of government in the Brit
ish colonies.
France, he added, had not been sue
| cessful because Frenchmen disliked tt
leave their own country; while recent Ger
| man attmpts had come to little goot
through the appointment Of military gov
errors, who appeared able to consider
their posts in no other light than mill
! tary bases, and who had done little to de-
! Velop their commercial life. Said he:
| The only way to govern successful.
is to consider the peculiarities of the diff
ferent nationalities and to send to gov
ern them men who are we'll yersed in thei
| language, manners and customs"
! In conclusion Mr.. Bigelow said tina
America, to be successful, must see t,
| it that only men of proved integrity ane
ability were sent out to represent Uncle
Sam.

ANCIENT HISTORY IN MINNEAPOLIS

E. H. Pierce in Grafton IN. D. Record.
An old-time printer called at this office the
other day. He quit the business some time
ago, but likes to drop into a printing office
occasionally and smell of the ink, feel a
thin space and clean his finger nails with
the ear Of composing rule. He used to
work in Bill Kings printing office in Mime
apolis, when Bill ran the Weekly Alligator
Tooth, which paper gave Minneapolis a swift
start in its youth. The Alligator Tooth was
the only paper in town and at times it's
job Office was very busy, and when the first
state fair association was organized there was
no rest. The secretary of the association
walked in one day and in a loud hurried
tone of voice ordered four color, three
sheet poster. 1t was to be warmer than a
three-squaW Indian blanket, full of wood type
and facts. The secretary arranged his bust
ness so as to visit the print shop every hour
to offer suggestions, translate manuscript
and read proof. To hurry up matters he
brought a bottle with him, which he passed
around among the printers with the cork out
This seemed to help for while, but along
in the afternoon, when the visits OF the
secretary got thicker the gofngs on# around
that Office were very unsteady. One printer
distributed small plea into nonpareil case,
another insisted on working horse type! into
a wedding card but the star performance
was an act by the foreman; he announced
that he would do few turns on the horizon
tai bar and he grabbed the main shaft from
high stool and began to unlimber. Then
the engineer began to say his piece; he didn't
like the foreman anyway and when he got
him located to suit started his engine up at
full speed and the foreman was it until he
let go; then he shot right out of the front
window and dropped in front of the editor Of
the Alligator Tooth, who had been out Sc
curing an account Of the organization OF a
state temperance society. The next day there
was new foreman on the Tooth.

"orai influence Against Drinking of
Greater Value Than Rigid
Regulations,

Neic York San Special Service -.
Boston, Jan. 10.-The following state
ment has been given out by the private
secretary OF President Eliot:
Inc harvard Union has been from the start
and is still total abstinence organization so
far as the use of all the general rooms is
concerned. IN the cases of some SEPARATE
rooms, which are rented or otherwise opened
to outside organizations, the members of
which have no access to the general rooms of
the club unless they are also members of the
union, permissive action has been taken
amounting simply to this: That the union
will not interfere with the moderate use of
light liquors in their rooms, provided they
are brought there by the organizations, No
liquors are allowed to be kept in the build
ing on tap or on demand. AS matter of
fact, this permission is rarely awaited of nv
student organizations.
The actual influence of the union in prohib-
iting the use of liquor in its own clubrooms
and thus encouraging sociabillty without the
use of liquors is all on the side Of temperance.
The trustees of the union do not approve the
use of intoxicating liquors by student organ
izations, and their vote was made strictly
permissve in the belief that moral influence
against drinking would be of greater value
than rigid regulations. The regulations gov
erning the union made by its own off,
GERS, and are not controlled by. the governing
boards of the university. The existing rule
and practice at the union is in entire con-
formity with the no-license laws OF the city
of Cambridge, which prohibits the sale of
liquor.

Frost
All that morning, through the routine
work OF the Twentieth National, there was a
feeling, shared alike by every man in the
bank, that something wag lacking. It must
be admitted that the paying teller was not
a popular man. He never went to the ball
games: he never joked; he never bought
chances in the raf1es. Yet, for all that, he
was considered a fixture at the Twentieth
National, as much of fixture as the arith
mometers the brass screens. One would
have as soon expected the vaults to take a
vacation Mr.. Methuselah. AS to where
that name originated it would be difficult
to determine, but the name was more or less
of fit, for the paying teller was little and
stoop shouldered and baldheaded. His face
was wizened and wrinkled, and, although it
is probable that he was not far beyond forty,
his beard very gray.
At closing time that afternoon Paine went
over to Frost's desk. "Going to the game?'
said he
"Wait minute or two, will you?" Frost
answered. ''See'f 1 can find this shortage.
Somehow I'm ratified without old Me-
thuselah around"

codger?' Frost asked as they boarded car
a half hour later. "When he begins to take
a vacation, I feel all broken up myself

FINANCIAL LEGISLATION

Yesterday the Hill Till to maintain the
standard silver dollar at parity with gold
ana for the increase of subsidiary silver
coinage, was introduced in the house by the
committee on coinage, weights and meas
ures. The measure was introduced in the
fifty-sixth congress but failed, as did the
Overstreet and Levy bills which had the
same object of remedying the omission OF
the act of March IA, 1900, which provided
no way for the exchangeability of the
standard silver dollar with gold.
This is piece of necessary legislation
to complete the former gold standard law,
and If congress effects no other financial
legislation it should certainly consider
and act favorably upon this, if it Is not
disposed to adopt Mr.. Hills further propo-
sition to coin subsidiary silver coin with
out regard to limit The senate finance
committee have, already, almost to man,
expressed aversion to taking up any
financial legislation and will ignore the
recommendations of Secretary Gage,
especially his proposition to unity or fed
eralize banking, so as to give the country
real convenient system instead of the
large agglomeration of independent banks
now operating without cooperation and
smutuality of interest. Even if congress
does nothing at this session, although it's
duty to complete the gold standard law as
Indicated is plain and unmistakable, it Is
| gratifying to know that such substantial
! progress has been made in monetary re-
form that politicians who formerly were
afraid to say the word gold in an
audible way, now talk Familiarity of it and
even Bryan and Charley Towne admit
that there is ''gold enough to go round
and they do not contemplate that metal
with cold shivers any longer, and they
read Of the remaining silver standard
countries adopting the gold standard with
the greatest complacency, and even carry
gold pieces in their pocket books. We
are getting on very we'll. But we shall
have to go farther. We shall have to ac-
complish such reforms as will prevent the
taking out of circulation large amounts of
money just when it is most needed for
moving crops and for the regular legiti-
mate business of the country. The pur-
chase Of bonds by the government, which
was a device initiated in 1852, has given
only temporary and inefficient relief. In
stead Of depositing the money collected In
the national banks under adequate restric-
lions and safeguards, it is locked up in
the treasury. Under the law nothing else
can be done. The country has outgrown
such system. An asset currency under
proper regulations, could readily supply

ADJUSTMENTS
Andrew Robson Was Ill.

A large audience that had assembled at the
Metropolitan last night to see Andrew Rob-
son in .'Richard Carvel," was greatly disap-
pointed by the announcement that Mr. Rob-
son had suddenly been taken ill and would
not be able to play his role. 1t was the hrst
time In his stellar career that he had been
obliged to disappoint an audience. His NAL
ady, although it's nature was not announced
was cramps Of the stomach and he was IN
such pain that acting was out OF the cues
ton. The management made the blunder OF
failing to offer those in the audience the OPP
t;on of claiming their money back or at least
exchanging their tickets for some other per-
formancs
Theodore Friebus made courageous at
tenpt to play Mr.. Robsons role and several
other changes in the cast were necessary.
Despite Mr. Friebus unfamiliarity with the
lines and his nervousness, he did very we'll
under the circumstances. The play, however,
naturally went badly.
tt Is expected that Mr.. Robson will have.
sufaciently recovered by this evening to re-
sumo his role.
