THE MARCONI SYSTEM.

The leading article in the February
AeC1ufe's, as epitomized by the Chi
cago Tribune, throws some light on the
two chief difficulties connected with the
general use of Marconis system of
wireless telegraphy. Those difficulties
are: First, that people have not under
stood how wireless messages could be
kept private; and, second, that the ex-
pense Of maintaining wireless telegraph
stations has been supposed to be so
great as to be prohibitive. The writer
of the Mcclure article thinks that both
difficulties have been surmounted.
In the first place it is of course true
that the etheric waves of a wireless
message travel impartially in all direc-
tons. II Marconi had been in Green
land instead of in Newfoundland his
chances OF receiving that first historic
message would not have been affected.
But at the same time it would have
been impossible for any instrument but
his own to receive the message in ques-
ton, the reason being that the trans
mitter at Poldhu, Cornwall, and the
receiver at ST. Johns, Newfoundland,
were "in tune with each other and
''out Of tune with everything else.
The enc was fitted 20 send and the 9TH
er to receive a Ger ain fixed number of
vibrations per sec nd. No other Mar
conf Instruments were SO fitted.
The tuning system implies, then,
that The new instruments shall be made
in sets. Each set will be tuned" to
its own number of vibrations. The
United States navy, for instance, might
use Instruments that transmitted and
received exactly $4,000 vibrations a
second These instruments could all
communicate with each other. 1t would
De impossible, however, for other in
struments to steal their messages. The
'os,oeo vibrations" instruments would
Iorn a system all their own into which
no outsider could force his way
AS Tor the cost of sending message
oy wireless method, Marconi is exceed
insfy sanguine. Stations can be built
ne sh1nks. for less than $4,000, while
the present cost OF an Atlantic cable is
between 100000 and $4,000. 900. The
actuai tolls on messages will be at the
rate OF cent word, which, compar-
ed with the present rate of 25 cents.
IS nere than satisfactory. II these
cfalhs can be substantiated the future
of the wireless telegraphy business is
assured. Nothing can stop it. and II
may as well begin to receive congratu-
1ations.

THE WASH HOUSES.

The government wash houses cannot
be kept too clean. They easily become
agents OF disease ana these are times
when such agents are not to be tolerat-
ed. According to the Board of Health the
wash houses should have a thorough
oveIhauiing and it needs no ghost come
from days OF cholera and plague 70
prove the wisdom of the measure.
Ii is up to the Board of Public
Works, which has the matter in
charge, to remedy any sanitary defect
that may be brought to its notice. OF
course there is not much money in
hand, but what there is should give
the public health the first considera-
ton. Bad streets are hard to get along
with, but an epidemic would be worse.

The Youngest Woman in the Field of
Foreign Work.

SAN JOSE, January 31.-Edna Lii
ian Beck of Berryessa, near this cicy
sailed today from San Francisco on the
Hongkong Maru for Ajmere, Rajpu-
tana, India, where she goes to assume
charge of the mission maintained al
that place by the Women's Foreign
Missionary Society of the Methodist
tending throughout the United States.
Miss Beck is the youngest missionary
in the employ of the society, but her
rapid advancement has been due to the
natural abilities which she displayed,
and her remarkable proficiency as a
physician, in which she perfected her
self before becoming a missionary.
Miss Beck graduated from the local
High School in 1885, took a course al
the University of the Pacific, gradual
ed from Cooper's Medical College, and
supplemented this by a course in
Chicago training school. Some months
ago she was made head medical dea-
coness at the Colorado Springs SAM
tarium, relinquishing that position
month ago to prepare for her trip to
India.
Miss Beck will remain at Ajmere for
five years She will fill the position re-
Gently vacated by Miss Lillian Marks
who was compelled to return to the
United States on account OF failing
health, after several years Service in !
the Orient. Miss Beck is devoted to thu
work, which she is undertaking. and
with her as executive the Ajmere mis-
sion should be most successful

WHOSE FAULT Is IT?

The world is full of disease and
pain. Whose fault is it? Every
body's; therefore often the fault
of the sufferers themselves. But
the pressing question is,-what to
do, how to relieve, how to cure.
What would become of us If
means were not found to destroy
disease? Why, then, of course,
disease would destroy us and the
world would be depopulated. I'm
til we learn how to prevent dis
ease, we must be thankful for the
means of a5atiag and curing it
after it has seized upon us, and
stands, like a savage with uplifted
axe, ready to take our lives. Es-
pecially do we need some sure
and speedy form of treatment
for those complaints which are
universal, -which arise in every
country and climate. We aliude
to such ailments as Nervous and
General Debility, Hysteria, Scro-
fula, Chronic Diarrhea, Asthma,
Throat and Lung Complaints,
Blood Impurities, and the ills OF
women and children. For these

Mrs Fremont's case is hard one.
Her husband did as much as any other
one man to give the United States It's
Western empire and her father, the
great Thomas Benton, was one of the
most useful statesmen of his time. SO
distinguished were Fremont's services
that he became the first Presidential
candidate of the Republican party
When the Pathfinder died few years
ago about all he left his wife was an
honest claim against the government
for private property seized. This claim
Mrs. Fremont is vainly trying to press,
and meanwhile the venerable lady is in

Isolation of Consum ptiyes.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1-Recognizing in
tuberculosis an infectious disease, the
physicians of New York are demanding
the isolation of consumptives for the
protection of the public, and to the end
that the sufferers may receive better
treatment and have every possible chance
of recovery. The first step in this direc-
ton was made by the removal of thirty
consumptives from Bellevue Hospital to
new pavilion of Metropolitan Hospital
on BlackwelPs island. Further transfers
will be made to the island when the
weather becomes more favorable.

SEEDS.

The interesting point is made by Mr.,
t. j. Ryan that many of the failures
credited to the small farmer in Hawaii
are due to the kind of seed he uses.
The seed men, Mr.. Ryan thinks, send
their leftover stock to Hawaii, very
little of which terminates. Things
won't come up and the small farmer
lays the trouble to soil or climate.
The Advertiser agrees partly with
Mr.. Ryan, but not to the extent of
holding the seed men responsible. Seed
in Hawaii is quickly overrun with in
sects, which eat the meat out of the
kernels. Left in loose bags for a few
days much of it will be destroyed. If
seed was sent here in Theoretically
sealed cans and kept intact until ready
for planting, the small farmer would
get better results.
So far as we know the government
seed sent by Delegate Wilcox has not
been utilized. At last accounts it was
piled up in an office here, the prey of
mould and bugs. This is a great pity,
owing to the superior quality of the
seeds issued by the government.

NEW ENGLISH ISSUE
JOE CHAMBERLAIN'S CLOTHES
SUDDENLY BECOME TOPIC OF
NATIONAL TALK
HIS TROUSERS ARE UNsHAPELY
Irish Papers Warmly Champion
billions Attack on the Secre-
tRry, but Say He Hurried
JOe'S Damnation.
Special to The Globe.

LONDON, March 22.-All England is
talking about Mr.. John Dnlons sensa-
tonal attack on Joseph Chamberlain. 20
whom he referred as a damned liar,
il the house of commons, on Thursday.
Mr.. Dillon, however is obliged, even
at this junCture, to share the honors OF
public attention with Joseph Chamber
lain's clothes. The secretary's dress has
suddenly become a national issue. In the
last issue Of the Tailor and Cutter APP
pears the following amusing reference to
the secret2ry's raiment:
We are sorry to note that Mr. Cham
berlain is developing quite stoop and
fear he is losing some of his old-tinne
smartness 1t is true that his monocle is
still in its old place, but we miss the ia
miliar orchid, and, as we have examined
Lis garments, we could not but feel that
conservatism was sadly apparent, for
there as much in them that was not up
to date.
'Mr. Chamberlain's coat lapels are
plain, heavy and disfgured by a long
gasping breast pocket, like some ugly
wound calling for assistance. The wash
ing vest of Mr.. Chamberlain was quite
out of harmony with his coat, while his
trousers were wide and unshapely."
The Westminster Gazette humorousIy
comments on the fact that weak spot
has at last been found in Mr.. Chamber
lain's armor adding:
Remembering the weird and wonderful.
clothing which the doorkeepers of
the house of lords We're startled with in
1898, when the home rule bill gathered
the noble clans together we can only
come to the conclusion that Mr.. Cham
berlain is beginning to qualify for a seat
in the house of lords
Mr.. Dillon is in the meantime earnestly
championed by the Irish Nationalist pa
pers. The Dublin Telegraph observes:
Mr.. Dillon was guilty of a slight antici-
patton regarding Mr.. Chamberlain dam
nation; as to his being a liar, that goes
without saving"
