MARCONI SYSTEM IN HAWAII.
Not by Any Means the Success
Hoped for.

Hoped for,
The wireless telegraphy company of
Honolulu is finding out that the prac-
teal application of the wonders of
science is sometimes expensive bust
ness. In 1900 stations were erected
on five islands OF the Hawaiian group.
Last Thanksgiving day the service
was discontinued and last month the
company had just So in the bank. For
this failure the president of the com
pany blames MarcOni. while MarCOni
seems to think the president of the
company ought to pay him what he
owes him.
Aside from all personal controversy.
however. it appears that the system
really failed to accomplish what is.
after all. the chief end of telegraph
systems. 1t failed to carry messages
1t was interesting but unreliable. As
long as the messages consisted of
time signals and the like the machines
responded perfectly. The morning
test always showed that they were in
gOOd order. The entire circuit of the
five stations could be made in twelve
seconds But the tranSmittCrS ana re
ceivers seem to have been like some
baseball players. They were better
in practice than in the real game.
When it came to commercial messages
they broke down. The rates were
high enough 81 message and 20
cents for every word above ten. The
trouble was that when message was
sent one could not be sure that it
reached its destination. Sometimes il

a sale of goods or a transfer of prop

that nothing goes wrong. In the case
of the wireless telegraph. he could
never be sure and, accordingly. he
went back to tranSaCting his business
by mail.
The only comment that can be made
on the affair is that the Honolulu
company was perhaps a little bit too
hasty in trying to make money out of

bird can be so early as to be prema-

case with the Honolulu wireless tel

ably needs further development before
it can be depended on for commercial
! purposes.

this feathery witness is built up.
but, although it seems sometimes as
if it is disturbed in very capri
cious manner, there are nevertheless
certain definite circumstances which
cause the hoarfrost to settle down on
some surface rather than others.
On any cold and frosty morning it
will usually be found that those sur
faces that are the best radiators of
heat are also those that are the most
successful in collecting hoarfrost.
1t is not always realized, however,
that all objects are continually
radiating heat, SO that, no matter
how much they may receive from the
sun, they are constantly trying to
get rid of it.
A fern leaf or a stone may perhaps
receive generous supplies of heat
during the day, but as soon as night
comes it hurries to spend or radiate
it, and the object that is quickest at
this work will soon become covered
in hoarfrost Every one has observed
how the moisture from the air will
settle on the outside of a glass Of
cold water brought suddenly into a
warm room A similar process takes
place in the open air so that as the
currents of moist air travel across
surfaces that are very cold they pay
tribute n drops of vapor, which in
warm weather take the form Of dew
and in cold of hOarfrOst. Moisture
therefore plays very important
part in the development of these
hoarfrost pictures. But there must
not be too much of it. Some of the
most delicate designs occur during
the prevalence of mist and haze, and
in towns especially it is no uncom
mon thing for a choking brumous
fog to be in some degree compensat-
ed for by a subsequent display OF
copiOus hOarfrOst.

THINGS PRINCE HENRY WON'T
SEE,

ct. H" writes to the New York
Evening Post: Alas. when Prince
Henry visits us in New York the real
privileges of our life he will not en-
joy, some of our deepest experiences
he cannot enter upon. No naughty
customs official will take a plug of to-
baccO out of his mouth, and after care
fully storing it for future use dive into
Prince Henry's trunk, and rummage
among his linen and underwear while
the prince stands by with the air of a
convicted criminal. No vision of the
beauty of HObOken as seen from a
ramshackle cab will burst upon Prince
Henry's eyes at the moderate cost Of
S. to his hotel. Prince Henry will
not be permitted to risk his life with
the rest of us surging mOrtals at the
Brooklyn bridge, nor will he be jabbed
in the ribs by a WORKOUT nervous
street car conductor, and told to step
lively" as he frantically makes his
way amid clinging, surging thrOng
of women, children, Italian workmen
and cOlOred washerwOmen hanging on
as the car stops to permit six more to
squeeze on to the platform. Not for
the prince will be the true delight of
a luncheon at a counter on American
pie, nor will he be permitted to find
his way along the street amid the eX-
pectoratiOns of the common crowd.
The true Joy of standing all the way

tasted by one who does so day after
day, as the prince can hardly be eX
pected to do. What is even the likeli
hood of his becoming well acquainted

which men call Brooklyn? He may,

The Trials of the Woman Who Lives
With Her Mother-in-Iaw.

Men have joked about the mother
in-Iaw ever since the institution Of
marriage was known TO the world, but
who has ever limited at the trials of
women in this field? A man gets out
of the house every morning after
breakfast, but his wife sometimes has
to spend the day with his mother, and
often she is obliged to bear endless
criticism and advice and uncOngenlal
talk. 1t is wonderful, taken all IN all,
the patience Of women with thel1
mOthers-in-law. The misery of the
woman who has lost her all, and who
lives lust tolerated in her sons or
daughters home, is also VerV great.
Every family should live alone Any
outsider is in the Way-that Is, II the
family is at peace within Itself. The
short visit from father, mother or
sister is delightful; but the Ongindefi-
mite stay is dangerous to peace, and
the settling down for always Is, IN
nine cases out Of ten, disastrous.
When the outsider who thus settles
down" in a family is an aunt 1r other
dependent hanger-on it is even worse
than in the case of the parents or
sisters of the married pair. In this
case, as in the other, it is not the
fifth wheel" who is most to blame. In
every case. of course, "the fifth wheel
should try to do something better, but
it is upon the head Of the family pri-
marily that the blame must fall, even
when he allows the fifth wheel to
be put on the coach at his wife's eX-
press request-Ada c. Sweet in Won
ans Home Companion.

Proper Care of Horses.


Never wash a horse with cold water
when he is heated On the farm
dispense with shoes as much as pos
slble. Feed your horse regularly
three times day, but never over
feed. Water before feeding. but not
while the horse is hot from work. Use
the whip very little. and never when
the horse SHES or stumbles. Never
leave a horse standing unhitched; it is
the way to make him run away. Do
not storm and fret; be quiet and kind
and the horse will be so. too, in most
cases. Give a horse large stall
and a good bed - night. as it is i'm

Potato Salad, Country Style.
There are still many persons to
whom the flavor of olive oil is not
agreeable, and for their benefit we
give the following method of making
a potato salad, which was highly rec
commended by the presiding genius of |
a farm house in one Of the New Eng |
land hill towns: Boil a number of
potatoes and mash and season them
while hot with SAT-, pepper. cream and
butter, and, according to your taste,
with finely minced onion. Pack the
potato in a bowl and put down Gel
lar or on ice to become very cold.
When ready for supper turn it from
the bowl, cut it IN slices and eat it
with vinegar. We have here all the
ingredients usually found in a dress
ing, and butter is used in place of
oil, and the method of combining them
with the potato is not common.
Paris Latest Prodigy.
Paris has new prodigy. Every
now and then some child wonder is
launched forth as an incipient genius,
but the latest of them all seems to be
| a really extraordinary child. if we are
! to believe reports. She is a 10-year
| old playwright, Carmen d'Assilva. She
! has written ten plays and a number
of mOnOlogues in prose and verse, and
| their literary value has earned her
| admittance with full members rights
into the Society of French Dramatic
Authors, of which NJ. Victorien Sardou
| is president Until her admission
Edmond Rostand was the Youngest
member, but he is 35-Quite a veteran
beside the 1O,year-old playwright
In an interview. the youthful
authoress says her favorite game is
hide-and-seek. She does not care
much for dolls, although she owns
one. She thinks out the plot of her
plays lying on a sofa and gazing at
the ceiling. She is now writing a
four-act play which she aspires to
have produced at the Coincide
Franchise.
The following is a translation of a
representative poem by Mile Carmen
d'Assilva:
Lovely Walking Dresses.
Ladies Home Jourual-A lovely
walking dress of dark green zibeline
cloth was made with a bias skirt
laid in one large boX-pIait at the
back and two small side plaitings tn
each side. The front of the skirt
crossed over to fasten all the way
down on the left side, where it was
attached with three black velvet
loops through steel buckles The
coat was a modified sack. slightly
fitted in the back, not in any way
to touch the figure, however, with a
deep cape bordercd with bands Of
black velevt, and trimmed on the
edge with fur. With this was worn
a smart hat of shaggy green felt,
trimmed with a twist of taffcta in
brown and amber, with here and
there dashes of Indian red.
COuteaux were stuck in on the side.
! Another gown of nCisette brown
had a new note in the trimming on
the skirt. 1t consisted of bias
band like a narrow but perfectly Eat
shaped TuffiC put on all around a
quarter of a yard or so from tie
bottom, and piped with black satin.
This gown was worn with a lovely
bolerO of caracaI, with a vest frOrt
of black satin, covered with pieces
of black braid put on in V shape.

"FAVORITISM."
Claimed That It is Shown Eighth
Regiment Band.

To the Editor of the Democrat:
] would like to ask Mayor Doyle and
other promoters Of the summer free
band concert project if it would be a
fair and honorable course to give the
park concert playing to any one band
for the coming season? There are four
union bands in the city and each DUR
ing the winter has nobly responded to
the calls for charity by giving two con-
certs without charge, and each should
be represented in the summer concert
program. or course a few individuals
who wish to dodge their poll taxes or
avoid jury duty may support the SELF
ish and unjust proposition that was
aired in last nights papers but doubt
very much that the majority OF con-
tributors to the park concert fund will
stand for this style of favoritism.
