WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
The Problem of simultaneous mes-
snge. In the same Radius.

At an early period Of the practical
history of wireless telegraphy ii was
seen that the usefulness of this art
might be considerably curtailed by the
fact that but one message conld De
transmitted between any two sta. ms
within the sphere or radius OF lnfn-
ence Of the transmitter, since the at
tempt to transmit even two messages
at one time would result in an unin-
telllgible mixture OF both messages.
Several inventors have been more re-
Gently at work trying to overcome TINS
defect. and. II is claimed. with success
notably Or. Lodge, SignOr Marconi ana
Or. Slaby. The plan followed by these
gentlemen has been that or employing
a syntonlc or tuning method that 49,
the transmitting and receiving circuits
are adjusted or "attuned' to gwen
rate Of electrical oscillations.
II IL well known experiment that
when two tuning forks having an ld"I-
teal fundamental rate Of yibr2tions are
placed IN suitable proximity either FORK
may be set into vibration by air waves
set up by the other fork. ana neither
will be set into vibration by another
fork Of different note. The tuning FORK
is n persistent vibrator by virtue OF two
qualities which it possesses, elasticity
and Inertia. When struck smart
blow. II moves from its point Of rest
Directly its elasticity returns II TO us
point Of rest its inertia carries 1t past
that point, It's elasticity returns II to
zero point. Inertia carries IT past, ana
so on. until the resistance Of the air ana
other causes stop it. Analogously an
electrical circuit may be given. in al
most any desired proportion, the equiv
alents Of mechanical inertia. elasticity
and resistance, in inductance, capacity
and ohmic resistance respectively. ana
the weight Of electric oscillation Of
circuit may be varied by varying these
factors - the smaller the factors the
higher the rate Of oscillation.
When, then, the receiving circuit OF
wireless telegraph system Is accurately
tuned 10 oscilate I'm harmony with the
transmitting circuit. which can be- done
by giving the respective circuits prac-
tlcally equal inductance. capacity ana
resistance. the receiving circuit will re-
spond only 10 the oscillations set up by
a transmitter correspOndlngly tuned
At least this is briefly the theory on
which these experiments are based.
In experimenting Marcon aud others
have. 1t is stated. found that perfect
svntony between the respective sta
tons Is not absolutely essential. but
that If there is a marked divergence Of
frequency of oscillation between them
the receivers will not respond to any
but their correspOndingly attuned
transmittcrs. -Cassier's Magazine.

Storm That Helped Science.

European scientific Journals remark
that the great storm Of red dus; that
swept up from Africa over Europe IN
March Of last year performed a sery-
ice for which men OF science should be
grateful by colorlng the glaciers OF the
Alps on a grand scale and thus produc-
ing a stratum in the vast ice streams
the red hue Of which will render II rec
ognizable for many years. The impor-
lance OF this consists in the fact that
by noting the position Of the dust stain
ed layer the movements Of the glaciers
can be studied more accurately than
would be possible without the aid OF SO
extensive and distinct a marking.

complained bitterly the other day that
a man over forty-fve is not wanted
for employment. The idea Of young
blood is an excellent one, but there IS
such a thing as going to extremes in

complain If she finds such crude ma

THURSDAYS BUSINESS.
Final Form of the License Bill Agreed

Thursday evening.
Marked progress was made today
in the work of completing the legis-
lation before the General Assembly.
The House passed the, Russell cattle
commission bill, and the Senate
killed the weekly payment bill-by
a decisive vote in each instance.
Most important of all, gagged by
the public interest, the joint commit
tee on temperance held a harmonious
session and agreed upon certain COM
promise provisions which it is be-
lieved have put the license bill in
the form in which it will be finally
enacted. The points agreed ON are
these: the referendum vote, originally
set for the first Tuesday in January,
has been put along to the first Tues
day in February. Further, II the
referendum vote is mo-" the law will
go into effect Dec. 1, 1906, instead of
1904, as originally provided. A third
compromise changes the distance from
a church or schoolhouse at which
a saloon Is allowed from 400 to 200
feet. The committee Is unanimous
in agreeing to the amendment adopted
by the Senate giving one-half the
license fees and fines to the state and
one-half to the towns, instead of three
fourths to the state and one-fourth to
the towns, as originally provided.
After long discussion the House
passed the bill giving Towne Bros. of
Richmond $500 for loss of farm build
ings by fire claimed to have been
set by lunatic who escaped from the
state asylum at Waterbury.
The House also passed the bill
changing the terms of the Windham
county court to the second Wednes-
day In April, and the first Wednes-
day after the first Tuesday in Septem-
Der, and bills making appropriations
for improvements at the Waterbury
asylum and the Brattleboro Retreat.

Criticism of the Proposed License
Law.

Putney. Dec. l. 1902
Editor OF The Phoenix.
Dear SIR
have just finished reading portions of
the new high license bill passed by the
Vermont senators and representatives
Part of 1t l consider the most outrageous
example of class legislation l have ever
read or heard of. The part refer to is
the one that gives to the employer the
right of barring his employees from the
privileges of a licensed saloon II there
is one in a town. 1t the same as as
serts that the workingmen of the state
are not capable of looking after their
own welfare, but that their employers
are. 1t would make out that the en-
ployer of labor of any kind is a wiser
smarter and better Judge of what is good
for the employe than the employee him
SELF In this village 30 per cent of the
labor is hired by three or four men. Are
these three or four men better judges of
what is good for their help than the men
are themselves? ! most unhesitatingly say
they are not. Every employer has a
right TO insist on his employees perform
ing their work in a sober, faithful and
satisfactory manner. II they do not so
do IT they can be discharged and others
hired, but after a man has done his
days work satisfactorily, and the
Il
TO see wherein the employer has any
right to say If he shall take a glass of
beer or not A farmer may have his
cellar well filled with hard cider for his
own use, but let his hired man come to
town after hard weeks work Saturday
night with a beer thirst he may find
his employer has shut him off. Are the
farmers In this state so much wiser than
the men they employ? 1 am not in the
employ OF any one, so this is not q case
OF 'sour grapes" While other provi-
sions of this law may bar me from
buying drink, I have no boss who
can. If this is mot class LEGISLATION,
what is it? Another article in this law
says no one who has been intoxicated
within six months shall be sold to-
Please tell me, when is a man intoxicat-
ed? Some good authorities in this and
other countries have declared that af-
ter taking one drink a man Is in a
state of intoxication. Think of that,
you Putneyites! You could have two
drinks year. II the law should be
strictly enforced II would drive men back
to the importing business. Those who
have drunk the "Blind Pig whskey
have decided that self-importation of
whiskey is one of natures laws.
H1A. ROBERTSON.
GMr Robertson's reference is undoubt-
edly to the provision In section "a of the
proposed license law, which says that
no liquor shall be sold or furnished to
a minor. an habituaI drunkard, an in
sane person or pauper-"nor TO a person
whose husband, wife, child, brother, sis
ter, guardian or employer has given no
tice In writing to licensee forbidding sale
to such person" We have no idea that
any class legislation was In the minds of
those who drew the bill. The intention,
undoubtedly, is to cover the same point
as is done in section 6s of the Massachu-
