COSr OF OCEAN B
Too Great to Compete with a Success
full Wireless System.

100 treat 10 compete with a Success
full Wireless System.
From an authoritative article in
the Century, we take this note apro-
pos of Marconi's work in wireless tel
egraphy:
Mr.. Marconi believes that his syn
tenn may become a formidable COM
petitor against the ocean cables. %
do so on land is not so easy, as the
lines there cost only 500 a miR,
whereas the cables cost i 1000 a nils,
and require expensive steamers to re-
pair and maintain them. A transab
lantic cable represents an initial OUT
lay Of at least 3 ,OOO,O 900, besides the
cost Of its maintenance. A Marconi
station can be built for $50, 900. Three
Of these, bringing the two worlds into
contact, will cost only $3.50, GOO, white
their maintenance should be insiR-
niicant. What his s~uccesswill mean
can be best grasped by considering
the extent Of the property which
would be displaced thereby, although
it is only since August 5, 1858, 80
years ago, that the first Atlantic
cable was laid. There are now Ia
laid along the Atlantic bed, and in
the whole world 1,769 telegraph ca
bles Of various sizes, with a total
length Of almost 189, 900 nautical
miles, enough to girdle the earth
seven times. These require a great
number Of ocean-going cable steamers
for their laying and repairs, and while
the total value Of theeables cannot b,
easily computed, it is known to be
fact that British capitalists hay,
100000, 900 invested in cable stock.

Young Woman Follows c0us ms Advicb
with Apparently Good Aesults.
One Of the trials Of a young mar
ned woman who lives on the East side,
So near the lake that she can look
from her back window out on its icy
bosom, has a cousin but q few years
younger than herself. He is a young
man, extremely fond of a joke-on
others-and seems TO think that his
pretty cousin is a better subject than
anyone else.
She rarely gets angry, but joins in
the laughter as if she we're the joker
and he the joked. His latest was sug-
gested to him a few days ago bt =
coal wagon backed up at the woodshed
coal hole. From the seat Of the wagon
to the top of the shed was an easy
step, and from place Of vantage to
the roof of the house was another
From the chimney of the house smoke
was pouring out in heavy volumes.
On the clothesline that stretched
across the yard hung a piece of carpet
1t did not take him long to decim
that it would be "just lots of fun" to
place that carpet and a board over thu
chimney and then step into the houa
and watch proceedings.
They came, sure enough, and tina
room was soon filed with smoke. Thu
young housewife pOked the asher
from in front Of the stove, shook TIM
CRATE and danced around in grea1
alarm when she found that her effor1
we're in vain. Her reprObate cousin
stood around and tried to show deep
concern. Finally, out of the good.
ness Of his heart, he offered to tell her
how to stop the smoke.
She was only too glad to be advised,
but when he told her to put pepperin
the stove she was inclined to think
that the advice was worthless. Never
theless, as a last resort, she threw9
handful Of pepper in the fire. Her
worthless cousin then quietly stepped
out through the back door, removed
the carpet and came in again. Not
suspecting the significance of his leav-
ing the room, the young woman was
so grateful for the pepper-in-the-fre
suggestion that she rewarded him
with a kiss. That night she told he9
husband about the new smoke curp
she had discovered and advised him
to try it on himself. She was sure, she
said, that if he took a sufficiently
large dose Of pepper he would throw
"that horrid pipe away Her hus,
band was wise, however, and did not
act upon the suggestion.
The joke was not explained to the
victim for a week, during which tims
she spread the news Of how to stopa
stove from smoking among a dozen
of the neighbors. When she was final
ly told how shehad been duped she got
angry for the first time in her life, ana
when her cousin, the sinner, left for
Chicago she refused to even bid him
good-by.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

group Of piano numbers by Miss

IN q beautifully singing manner with

The Impromptu, a striking contrast to

and clearness which the piece requires.
The vocal quartette was enthusias-
tically received and the audience was
disappointed that the young ladies
made no response to an encore. This
they would have gladly done, bat
there is an inlexible rule Of the depart
ment, applicable in pupils recitals,
that no participant in such a programme
shall under any consideration acknowl-
edge a recall with a second number.
The entire programme was well
rendered and those present enjoyed
