Of the Carnegie Steel company sold ut
III 3-S.
Andrew Carnegie rendered $lO,OOO,OOO
in these bonds to the government for the

inll research, and the sale is believed by
some to indicate that Mr.. Carnegie has
begun to convert the bonds into money
in order that the government should be
relieved from any embarrassment on ac-
count Of the bonds.
At the price realized the $l0,OO0,OOO
in bonds would be equivalent to 81 1897, :
800, Il substantial increase Of the prom
ised endowment.
President Roosevelt has received in,
formation from Andrew Carnegie that is

gress a form Of gift of $l0,0O0,OO0 to the

form expected to be generally satisfac-
tory. The gift is likely to be in cash or
in securities drawing annual interest.

Ship Caught in TyphOOn.

Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. 3O.-The
steamship Ping Suey has arrived, 75 days
from Glasgow via Singapore, Hong Kong
and Shanghai, having come through the
Suez canal. Her cargo consists of 2OOO
tons of Chinese mating.
The Ping Suey was caught in the
Christmas night gale when 500 miles of
Cape Flattery and the big steamship was
roughly handled by the elements. Her
captain says the storm was the worst he
ever experienced and the gale reached
the force of the typhoon. The ships
decks were washed from stem to stern as
one wave after another boarded her. The
captain said that it would have been al
most impossible for sailing craft or a
smaller steamer to live out the gale in
the vicinity of where he encountered it.

The MarcOni system.

The experiments of Marconi with
wireless telegraphy have awakened
great interest, especially since it was
reported that he had exchanged COM
munications between Newfoundland
and the British isles. The marvellous
feat of sending messages over an eX,
panse of water distance of 100 miles
has naturally attracted attention in
commercial circles, and among all peo-
pie there is curiosity to know what
the moius operandi is.
Marconi says that when he wishes to
bridge distances, and it is not necessary
that signals be sent in any definite di-
rection, he uses an ordinary transmit
ter. 1t is made of two small spheres.
connected by wire, one with the earth
and the other with vertical conductor
of some height, called the aerial con-
ductor."
When he wishes to direct a beam of
rays in a given direction he uses cy-
lindrlcal parabolic reflector placed in
the proper focal line.
The system OF operation is simple.
The key is pressed and the electrical
current is discharged through the
spark gap between the spheres. The
discharge is an oscillating one. The
spheres and conductor become radia-
tor Of electrical waves. BY pressing the
ordinary telegraph key at long or short
intervals long or short waves are made.
These affect the distant receiver at long
or short intervals producing the dots
and dashes of the Morse alphabet.
Without reflectors the telegraphic sig
mails radiate in all directions and affect
all receivers within distance; with re-
Electors it is possible to throw the cleo
trio rays in one almost parallel beam.
The wireless system of Mr.. Marconi
has passed out of the experimental
stage and is already being adapted to
commercial needs, cables the London
correspondent of the New York Her
aid.
Arrangements have been entered into
between the Marconi company, the Lon
don & Brighton railway and the CORE
spending French railway company to
have an installation of permanent
character between Newhaven and
Dieppe. The departure Of boats will be
sgnaled, with Instructions as to the
amount of luggage, number of passen-
gers and other useful information, and
it will no longer be necessary for the
friends of the passengers to wait
hours at either end when fog has de-
layed the boats starting.
