FEMININE FADS.

The fad for brass decorative house fit
ments is being carried to the extreme de-
gree, even the most desirable lamp shades
being of pierced brass. Possibly the latest
addition to the brass house ftmentS is a

five years in special study of wireless
teiegraphy. 1t is announced that he has
patented number of inventions relat-
ing to the latest mcde of signal transmits
sion.
He says that he does not believe that
Mr.. Marconi has solved the problem of
wireless telegraphy across the Atlantic.
but he feels sure the feat will be ac-
complished. He believes that Mr.. Tesla
Is the 1ikeliest to succeed, because he
is working at the least perfect end name
ly, the transmitter.
He regards the ideal receiving appa-
ratus as combination of the microphone
and telephone. The Branly tube, as ar
ranged by himself and NJ Poppoff. the
celebrated Russian engineer, may now be
considered perfect. NJ Poppoff made most
successful experiments in the beginning
OF 1900, when Russian battleship was in
1ured by blocked ice in a rocky headland
on the Island of Hohlaad, in the Gulf of
Finland.
He established wireless communication
with the town of Kotka, thirty miles
away, and sent information that a number
OF sailors had been carried off on an ice
berg, with the result that the iceship
Ermak was despatched and effected the
work of rescue
This receiver has now been introduced
INTO the Russian navy. NJ. du Crette be-
lieves that Mr.. Marconi has employed il

tax for 1900 against sub-lot 70, square

Mr.. Rheem submits a statement rela-

The Assessor points out that the loan
was made prior to the issue OF the tax
certificate, and ii was upon that repre-

The Assessor now reports that the
statement submitted shows that there
was no change of title and no foreclosure
and consequently no loss incurred. In

Dincd With Marconi.
Mr. Bell had just come from the dinner
to Marconi in honor of his wireless mes
sage across the sea. He was one of the
first to express faith in Marconis ac-
complishment.
"Of course, we could not know what
had been done until we had the state
ment of Mr.. Marconi over his own sigma
ture,'' he said, in discussing the latest
electrical wonder but as soon as he
made his statement showing that he had
received signals according to an agreed
plan on certain days, at different speeds,
it was accepted"
DO you think it possible that We shall
some day speak across the ocean," Mr..
Bell was asked.
There is 70 limit to speculation" said
Prof. Bell. "Of course almost anything is
possible. But there is little doubt we
shall have wireless telephone messages in
time
The chief problem to be solved is the
separation of messages from each other
or their concentration, is it not?" he was
asked.
Now you are going ahead pretty fast"
said Prof. Bell. THAT will be one of the
difficulties, OF course. But don't see why
it should not be solved. You know the

only difference between them is in the

No Sign of Fatigue.
Pref. Bell is growing greyer, but his
shows no trace of increasing
age otherwise. and he pursues his ex-
perments and studies steadily at his
home in Washington and his summer
place at Baddeck in Nova Scotia.
In fact, the Bell Castle as it is
known in Nova Scotia, is not strictly
summer residence, for Prof. Bell often
spends part of the winter there, and It
