Guglielmo Marconi is another answer to
the proposition that the young man no
longer has a chance. He is not yet 30, but
has attracted the attention of the world
by his application of electrical theories to
practical uses. Born Of an Italian father
and an Irish mother, gently reared and
thoroughly educated. he began his career
without the aid Of talismanic poverty. He
had the advantage OF ample means where
with to prosecute his Investigations and
carry on his experiments. His work has
been along lines of charging the use OF n
principle of electric force known as long ago
as "old Ben Franklin's day at least. Prof.
Heinrich Hertz investigated the phenom-
cna of electromagnetic waves, and wrote
lCarnedly and copiously Of his researches.
Morse and Bell and others interested in
the use OF electricity as a means OF inter
communication took up the study OF trans
mission Of electric impulses without
tangible vehicle, but none pursued the
matter to the end OF practical appli-
cation. In 1894, while yet a university
student In Italy, MarcOnl was attracted 10
the subject by reading the works OF Hertz.
He saw the possibilities offered and won
dered that no effort had been made to
harness the Hertzian wave. To this end he
bent his energies, and late in the '9Os had
succeeded in extending the effective radius
of the Hertzian wave from a few feet to
as many hundred yards. Here he seemed to
encounter an insurmountable difficulty. To
secure a wider range Of action was neces-
sary in order to make the service OF value
commercially. Marconi's inventive faculties
solved the problem and two years ago he
had increased the effective radius or his
waves from yards to miles. At nine miles
he seemed again to have reached the limit.
Again. he invented needed apparatus. and
now "Marcontgrams" are transmitted ac-
curateIy through space, covering distances
as great as 100 miles, and one signal has
been sent from the coast Of England to the
coast Of Newfoundland. So far the most
extensive use of the system has been on
ocean steamers, for the purpose OF signal
ling from one to the other, and from the
steamer to the shore, or vice versa. At
present the inventor is conducting expert
ments to develop an instrument that will
rot be susceptible to electric impulses

their attention. In the Omaha school there
are several societies made up of girls, who
find time from their studies to take up
matters of a lighter sort. One of these, the
p. G.. s., which is made up Of the senior
class members, recently afforded much en-
tertainment by presenting at the High
school a bit of a farce called The Dress
Rehearsal" The piece was put on solely by
girls, and the music was furnished by an
orchestra made up OF girls, and those who
were in the audience conceded that the
efforts OF the young women were decidedly
successful.
Judge A. w Burtt of Huron, S. D., whose
appointment as attorney general of South
Dakota, to succeed the late John l.. Pyle,
has been announced by Governor Herried,
has been a resident of Beadle county since
1881. He was born in Watertown, N. Y,
and at the age Of s years moved with his
parents to Rochester, N. Y. where he was
later admitted to the bar and where he
practiced law for some time. From Ro-
chester the judge moved to Pontiac, Mich,
where he resided until coming to Dakota
territory. Prior to coming to Dakota, Judge
Burt had held many positions of public
trust. After moving to Huron in 1881 he
was a member OF the firm OF Burt, Ayers
& Crofoot, and later became associated with
William B. Sterling, from 1891 to 1895, as
counsel for the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company, when the latter gentle
man (now deceased) was made attorney for
the Elkhorn system of the Northwestern,
and moved to Omaha. Judge Burt was city
attorney OF Huron in 1856 and in 1889, and
represented Beadle county in the state SEN
ate in 1898. when Governor Herried was
lieutenant governor and as such presiding
officer OF the senate.

Easter Sunday, OF course, has its deep
religious significance. II is the anniversary
to the Christian world Of the triumph OF
the soul over Death, Of the defeat OF the
tomb. On that morning when the two
Marys went weeping to visit the tomb, and

This explanation is based on one Of several
theories concerning the nature Of the &C

siderods are objects of cCnsid orable SOL

Whether 1t is due to the glorious ell
mate of the central, to the pastoral lives Of
the people, to the ideal environment, or to
some cause not yet developed sufficiently to
be catalogued or classified, it is neverthe
less a fact that the matrimonial state in
Iowa and Nebraska seems conducive to lon
gevity. Golden weddings have become al
most too common to excite special comment

senting to its readers during the last year
the pictures of a number of couples who
have lived upward of sixty years together.

Jacob Gergens of Humboldt, Neb., is IS

their golden wedding amid the joyous con-

the Philadelphia Record says: Previous
to his going to New York, about ten years
ago, Mr.. Watrous was city editor OF one Of
Philadelphia's newspapers and 1t was he
who broke Richard Harding Davis into the
business. Davis, in common with most
young reporters. was unable to disasso-
ciate the newspaper style OF writing from
his own conception of literary composition.
His copy was the bane OF the city editors
life. One day Mr.. Watrous said to him:
For heavens sake. "Dlck," remember that
you are writing for a newspaper and not

long after that that the young reporter be-

One danger threatens the occupants of a
locomotives cab CT which the public knows
little. Expert mechanics and deeply
learned scientists have given the matter
much thought without arriving at any con-
clusion more definite than that siderods
do break. This engineers and fremen can
tell without any extensive experimental
ton. A siderod is the huge bar of steel
that connects the driving wheels Of the
locomotive. The rod that connects with
the piston is called the main rod. The
functions OF these are similar, but their
motion OF travel is widely different. One
end Of the main rod merely passes back
and forth. while the other describes a
complete circle with each revolution of
the drivers. The motion OF the siderod
is always in a line parallel to the rails, but
with each end describing a circle with each
revolution OF the wheels. At each center
point Of the ~piston's travel the entire
weight Of metal comprised in the piston,
crosshead. main rod and sideTods comes
to a dead stop. reverses and starts again
In an engine with a six-foot driver, when
travelling at the rate of twenty-five miles
an hour, this stop and start occurs $50
times each minute. No matter how care
fully adjusted the bearings are, each SOP
has the effect OF a blow, and blows OF ter
rife force struck at the rate Of mere than
four times a second have their effect en-
the siderods. II the speed is increased
the number of blows are increased. In
time the atoms OF steel begin to range
themselves along the lines OF the vibration
caused by the blows, in time crys'a.l' Ia

Personally, MarcOni is described as a man
thoroughly alive to the beauties of life out
side the field of electricity, not a social
d~evotee, but with a keen appreciation of
good things. His work takes most Of his
time and he finds his diversion in seeking
the solution of the problem he has set him
self at. He is reserved and modest, seek
ing little after notoriety, but while he cares
little for the fattery that has been
showered upon him. he sets great store by
the opinions OF men who understand his
work and what he hopes to achieve. His
personal tastes are those of a wellbred
young man, and he has ample means to

making a certain kind of lace. In one
town of 5000 o. 5000 inhabitants al
most all the women and children and
many Of the men make lace collarettes,
handkerchiefs and ladies' ties. An
other town makes lace embroidery and
others drawn thread work, such as
centerpieces, try mates, teacloths and
doilies. The designs used in making
the lace are taken from the curious
webs of the semitropical spiders that
are SO numerous there. On this ac-
count it is called "nanduti," an Indian
name which means spider web.

Where Women Propose.

In the Ukraine. Russia, the woman
does all the counting. When she falls
In love with a man, she goes to his
house and informs him of the state of
her feelings. If he reciprocates, all is
well, and the formal marriage is duly
arranged. If, however, he is unwill-
Ing, she remains there, hoping to coax
him to a better mind. The poor fellow
cannot treat her with the least dis
courtesy, nor has he the consolation of
being able to turn her out, as her
sriends in such a case would feel bound
to avenge the insult. His remedy,
therefore, If determined not to marry
her, is to leave his home and stay away
as long as she is in it. A similar prac-
tice to that in the Ukraine exists among
the Zuni tribe Of Indians. The woman
does all the counting and also controls
the situation after marriage. To her
belong all the children, and descent,
including Inheritance, is also on her
side.
