Captain Smith OF the British ship
Madagascar will either have TO engage
less strenuous Irish crew, or secure
heavier capstan. Some days ago
the crew pulled the old capstan TO
pieces while heaving the anchor. and a
new one was ordered from the Astoria
Iron works. Yesterday the tug was
ready TO take the ship to sea and the
brawny sons Of the old sod were called
out 10 heave the anchor. For few
minutes things went along smoothly
enough, but when the crew commenced
work in earnest the rev capstan col
lapsed before their strength. AS re-
suit OF this second demonstration the
vessel viii be delayed for another week
or 10 days, or until the iron works can
turn out new capstan, Captain
Smith was jollied when the first story
Of the strength of his crew came out.
but yesterdays accident verlfies his
story of their great strength and will
| serve to convince those doubling
Thomases who were inclined to regard
the tale as an enthusiastic expression.

Waves in the Air.
From the New York Sun.


Helmholtz showed that when a current Of
air warmer, and therefore lighter. was
flowing above another current colder and
denser the circumstances were the same as
when the wind is blowing on a level surface
OF liquid. In both cases regular waves are
produced In the denser medium, and the
waves have their crests perpendicular to
the direction of the upper current A wind
that will produce water waves one meter
long WILL In air currents differing 10 de-
grees G in temperature, produce waves
from two to five kilometers in length.
To water waves from five to ten me-
ters long correspond air waves having a
length Of fifteen to twenty kilometers. Such
waves, whose height above the surface of
the earth Is not often greater than their
length, are like water waves that stir the
whole mass of water from the surface to
the bottom. They are very frequent, but
are not visible unless the lower LAYERS of
air are saturated with moisture SO that
mists are formed. In such a case parallel
bands Of clouds are produced, extending
over a large portion of the sky. In a bali
loon ascension Herr Emden of Munich was
able to recognize such waves and to make
such measures as to show that the mathe-
matical theory Of their formation was com
pletely verified.

Madam said Sauntering Sim, Il was
born and bred In Boston. 1 am sorry that
you used those words. Carelessness in the
use OF our sacred language Is to me far
more distressing than hunger"
What do you mean?'' she demanded with
considerable spirit, for she had once been
a school teacher and prided herself on her
parts Of speech. i>'
THAT little word WILL !" he replied, "Ah.
how often 1t is misused! Have you ever
heard of the lady who fell from the st cam
ship and called Help! Help!' y
I don't remember it, she answered.
Well he went on, this poor woman
fell into the water having neglected to in
form herself concerning the proper use Of
the words will and Shall 1t happened
that no heroes were on deck when she went
oVerobard, therefore her appeals for help
were made in vain. Help! Help! Help!
she shouted. but no one went to her assist
ance, and in despair she cried, Nobody
shall help me: will drown! What she
meant, of course, was Nobody will helm
me: l shall drown! You see what a differ
ence the transposition Of those two small
words makes"
But don't know what that has to do
with me-" the lady said.
''Alas!' he almost sobbed: "alas! alas.

Ether and Ether Waves.
ON the Great Round World.

In order to follow intelligently the ad-
vance Of wireless telegraphy from the be-
ginning some rough idea must be had of
the modern physicists views regarding the
nature of electrical phenomena To this
end all space must be regarded as perme-
ated by something termed the luminifer-
GUS ether. Not only does this ether per-
meate the spaces between the heavenly
bodies and our atmosphere (Which concep-
tion offers little difficulty to the lay mind),
but 1t also permeates all solids. Further,
its nature is such that the movement
even Of solids Is not in the least restrain
ed by such permeatiOn, the closest analogy
being that Of sieve, representing the solid,
being moved about in water, representing
the ether.
The ether Is the seat not only OF all cleo
trical phenomena, but also of all the
phenomena of light and heat. All of
these apparently so distinct, are but the
result Of vibrations or waves on the ether,
the apparent differences being due only to
differences in the length of the waves and
the rapidity with which they occur, just as
one musical note differs from another in
the same particulars, only that the sound
waves are air waves and not ether waves
Now. with the usual telegraphic methods,
the current, as 1t is termed, is sent or di-
rected through space by means Of metal
lie conductor Actually nothing passes
through the wire as is implied by the use
takes place is the transmission of energy
along the path of the wire by means Of
vibrations in the neighboring ether. That
is, the metal of the wire acts merely as a
guide for the ether waves to the deStina-
tiOn desired.
In wireless telegraphy ether vibrations
are also set up at the transmitting station,
but these, having no conducting guide,
radiate in all directions through space. and
a small percentage of them arrive at the
receiving station, and by means of suitable
apparatus are made appreciable by the
senses, or recorded.

Coaxing the Rain Drops.
from the Scientific American.

rom the Sclen1lnc American.
Some interesting experiments for the arti-
fetal production of rain by means of elec-
tricity have been carried out I'm Japan The
probability of greater success being OBJ
tanned by this means, in lieu of the system
Of decorating explosives In the upper air
strata. has often been advocated by scfen-
lists. This attempt by the Japanese, how
ever, is the first practical effort to prove
the truth of this theory and it was attend
ed with conspicuous success. The trials
were made in the Fukushima prefecture
Operations were commenced at II in the
evening, but there was no sign of atmos-
pheric change until o'clock next morning,
when a cluster Of clouds was observed over
the hill on which the experiment was held.
At length rain began to fall, followed by
second fall at II am, and afterward
third, fourth and fffth-the last being about
$50 in the evening. The area upon which
the rain fell extended over many miles. AS
q single experiment of this description Is
scarcely conclusive. the scientists who car
ried out these particular trials propose to
repeat them with view to establishing
the feasibility Of the idea.

Where Kipling is Staying.
From the London Leader.


Mr.. Rudyard Kipling is at present with
his family at Woolsack Cottage, a charm
ing little retreat in q corner of Mr.. Cecil
Rhodes estate at Rondesbosch, near Cape
Town This miniature dwelling place was
built by Mr.. Rhodes some years ago as a
sort of hermitage when he wished, as he
often does. to be quite away from all
human society. On the occasion Of Mr..
Rudyard Kipling's first visit to the Cape.
some few years ago, says To-Day, he was
much struck with the beauties of this spot,
and Mr.. Rhodes at once offered to place it
at his disposal whenever he desired to oc-
cupy it, with the result that the poet has
been there three times since. AS his friends
are aware, Mr.. Kipling is by no means Of a
robust constitution, and he finds the dry,
bracing air Of the lower slopes Of Table
mountain, on which Woolsack Cottage
stands, OF great benefit to him. 1t was in
this spot by the way, that much of the
now famous "Kim" was written.
