lUbat the Indian eats.

The typical Indian home of to-
day consists of mud chinked log
shack, tepee or two, usually
hay barn and sometimes a corral.
AS a general rule, they live in
squalor, yet many Indians possess
nice homes and enjoy well cooked
meals from neatly set tables. But
the ordinary Indian eats meats
largely of questionable character.
He delights in dog stew and other
savory dishes. He has excellent
teeth and an envied digestion.
Indian children are shy and
close mouthed to strangers, but
the squaws are often loquacious.
Their doors are always open to
visitors. The red man has an
aversion for soldiers and frankly
tells them that he does not fear
them. Altho he possesses an ex-
cellent constitution, disease finds
in the Indian an easy victim.

che HnnibiIation of Distance.

How much nearer to each other
the nations of the world seem to
be today and really are today than
was the case a few decades ago.
When weeks and months were re-
quired for communications be-
tween the United States and
Europe the countries of the old
world appeared to be a long way
off. Now the circumference of
old earth is belted with telegraph
and cable lines in every possible
direction. What happens today
in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia,
South America and the great
islands of the sea is made known
to us tomorrow by great news
papers like the Chicago Record
Herald, whose foreign correspond
ents are located in every important
city in the world outside of the
United States. In addition to it's
own staff correspondents the Rec
ord Herald enjoys the foreign news
service of the New York Herald,
famous for many years for the re-
liability of it's foreign news. and
also of that great cooperative
news gathering organization, the
Associated Press. No other daily
newspaper in America possesses
facilities so varied and extensive
for covering the news Of all ma
tons.

and me get any wages is by SEN
fencing people, and the longer
the time, the bigger the pay. Why
can't you be reasonable?"
I told him I couldn't see it that
way, SO we tied up and went into
camp for few hours. Then he
went away and in little time
came back with two cayuses. He
threw the door wide open, ordered
me to come out and mount one of
the ponies. He got on the other
one and away we went over the
trail. We kept up fearful pace
for about five hours, and then, on
one of their old alkali flats, he
babe me dismount. I was loath to
do it, but he had his hardware out
so down I got.
After taking look around and
getting the kinks out of my legs, I
started back on foot over the same
trail once more. It took me three
days to reach my home in
the Jail again. That night my
friend took me thirty miles. 1t
seemed like hundred when 1
walked back to Tomeon. It was
about 9 p. m. when | knocked at
the door of my friends house, and
when I spoke to him the first
thing he did was to go after his
hardware, and that time he used
it SO close to my skypiece that l
felt myself growing gray. But
when his fun was over he threw
me s'dobe" and told me when the
next train left for chihuahua and

what I call a pat hand, but the

A FABLE.

Once there lived a Youth who
was doing his daily Stunt in an
Office at Ten per. He had a
Strenuous Desire (Which should
always be encouraged in Youth)
to accumulate the Tin in CHUNKS,
so that he too could possess a
Typewriter and an Automobile.
Now the Youth was quite Wise.
He had an Alma Mater and a
Class pin as a Sinking fund, and
"a Working knowledge of Ping
Pong and all the Rest was Velvet.
Now the Youth was from Indiana,
but he did not Write novel. He
took a Brassie Shot at it but Fate
fooled his Approach and he
landed in a Bunker. In the days
while his Alma Mater was being
fitted, the Youth discovered by
chance that he Could chew glass
without injury to himself, and So
became the Pride of the Alpha
Delta Theta Society. An Idea
now took Possession of him and
after working him Overtime it
carried him before the Main
Squeeze Of Dime Museum who
engaged him on the Spot. The
youth got away on the First Break
and was running Strong when the
M. S. asked him to make little
Spiel after each of his Unparallel-
g d and Unheared of Defes-the-
Laws-of-N Nature and Baffles-Scien-
INSTALLATIONS. Now the Youth
did not Swallow the Glass, but
Concealed it in his Face, and after
the next performance His little
Spiel was a song entitled, "I'am
all Cut. Up About YOU" and to
Drink glass of water.
Now the Song did not hurt the

or tune with them and must be
susceptible to the same speed OF
vibration. This instrument is
called the coherer and is very
simple in construction. It is
merely a glass tube into which the
receiving wire penetrates after it
reaches the instrument board from
the sky plate at the receiving sta
ton. This wire penetrates the
tube; then. the central portion OF
the hollow space in the tube is
partially fitted with small bits of
silver and nickel filings (iron fill
[ings will answer the same pur-
pose). After the filings another
wire passes out of the other end
of the glass tube and is connected
with the sounder or instrument
| which records the message; thus a
complete line of communication
lis established, the filings in the
coherer aligning under the infu-
ence of the Hertzian waves and
forming a bridge across the brok-
en- space in the receiving wire.
This brings the reinforcement of
the energy of the relay battery
into requisition, the feeble cur
rent from the sky pole is strength
ened and the sounder made to
record the message distinctly.
But for the success Of the sys-
tenn, it is necessary for the filings
to be decohered. This is done by a
device which works automatically
"a small hammer of metal taps
the glass tube and causes the fill
ings to fall apart, thus breaking
the circuit. The resistance of the
coherer is too strong for the relay
battery and the Hertzian waves
have just the proper affinity to
cause the filings to cohere. The
decohering of the filings in the
coherer is very important for it
prevents the relay battery from
running itself down and keeps an
even supply Of energy ready to re-
inforce the feeble vitality of the
incoming message. The coherer
is connected with the earth and
the sky pole-that is the wire is
grounded
When Marconi first established
the wireless telegraph station at
Newfoundland he erected tall
/ poles, some twenty in number, and
placed a wire screen around the
tops of them to receive the Hert-
zian waves. A hood of metal is
now used for this purpose and tall
poles are not necessary, for the
waves follow the curvature Of the
earth and do not travel in, a
straight line. This DETECTING of
the Hertzian waves will probably
be the cause of the failure of Mar
coni's system over long distances
on land. Mountains will prob
ably be found barrier too great
to be overcome. Across water a
practical test has proven the util-
ity of the system for so great a
distance as $50 miles. 1t is true
signals have been received from
a greater distance, but $50 miles
mark the limit of present practic-
ability. Many improvements have
been added to Marconi's system,
he himself having perfected a
device of greater utility than the
| filings of the coherer-a magnet
that is alternately magnetized and
demagnetized, thus giving relief
to the relay battery.

this subject, but time will not per

IwwwwI wonders performed by
Iww WV the genius of man. We
live in an age Of new
things, surprising discoveries in
science and often see the impos-
:sible of yesterday accomplished
10y some genius Of today. But we
should not forget the debt the
present owes the past, nor the
many who have added their mites
of knowledge or skill and who are
each entitled to some share in the
reward of present success.
Marconi owes much to the
genius of men of science who by
patient study and effort blazed the
trial over which he has SO splen-
sdidly travelled to victory. 1t is
even claimed that wireless telegra-
ply was discovered before his time
and that the system which Mar
conf patented was originally per-
fected by an Italian naval officer
named Solari. But be. that as it
may, the fact that telegraph mes
sages are now being transmitted
by Marconi without wires is of
interest to us and compels us to
give Marconi the credit for the
systems practical utility.
Wires stretched above the ground
lnpon supports are the medium by
which the telegram is transmitted.
Hertzian waves are the medium
by which a message is carried with
out wires. These waves are vi
brations of the air, or a property
of the atmosphere called ether.
They are caused bya strong spark
of electricity being thrown into
space. A bolt of lightning pro-
educes Hertzian waves. To illus
ztrate, have you ever thrown a
stone into the waters of a pond
and noticed the waves that radi-
ated in all directions towards the
shore from the point where the
.stone struck the water? These
waves, which are similar to Hert-
zian waves, carry the force pro-
educed by the violent contact of
the stone with the water to the
ashores. Let us trace a message
from the key of the transmitter to
the sounder at the receiving sta
7tion.
AS the message is licked off in
dots and dashes it leaves the
transmitting key and passes
through an induction coil, where
1t gathers force and then the wire
terminates in round brass ball
ccalied an oscillator. The force Of
the current causes this oscillator to
'yibrate and throw the current in
sparks across a small space direct
ny unto another brass ball which
wibrates and hurls the message
along in dots and dashes. A hall
inch spark will travel distance Of
one fourth of mile. These oscil-
lators break up the even continual
flow of the electrical current. This
rs necessary in order to produce g
vibration of the ether, or to pro
>duce Hertzian waves SO as to carry
the message through space. From
the sky pole of the transmitting
station the message flies into space
an sharp, sudden sparks. Hertziar
waves are produced which carry
she message along upon their sur
face. But there must be some
thing in affinity with these waves
at the receiving stations before
the message is audible. These
waves vibrate at the rate OF two
hundred and thirty million a sec
eond, and one authority says, sThey
are longer than light waves, bu
do not undulate SO rapidly as hea
waves"

A Lost Opportunity.

/ | had an easy thing some years
ago, but as the fates we're against
me I lost it. It happened while
my pal Windy Smith his name
was-and myself were in old
Mexico, hitting the high places in
our efforts to reach the states.
We tied up one night at town
called Tomeon. Windy had gone
over to the railroad to see the
night yardmaster, and he hadn't
been away more than half an hour
when down swooped a big ''greas-
or" and the way he could spiel
Spaniola was terror. l listened
for awhile and then told him Il
couldn't savvy, and with that he
grabbed me. I sawed then, all
right, and tried to get loose, but
he lugged me up before the JUS
tice, and then it was I got my
trimmings.
I was charged with being a
tramp, vagrant,.a homeless per-
son and suspicious character.
The Indictment said I had built a
fire by the highway within the
city limits, had asked for food and
had been refused, had thrown
stones at a dog and chased two
Peon kids-and a basketful of
other things too numerous to
mention. I was convicted on every
count, and after looking me over
for moment the judge said: Il
find the prisoner guilty and sem
tence him to fifty years in Tomor-
row."
Now Tomorrow never comes, so
where was l at? If you don't
happen to be conversant with
Spanish law, you won't know that
Tomorrow is the equivalent to a.
life sentence I was wondering
what I would do with myself the
rest of the time. when the sheriff
broke in on me and took me over
to the Jail. It was one of those
places built of adobe brick that
you can dig out of with good
Spencerian pen. Everybody in
Mexico has that tired feeling, so
it isn't necessary to. have strong
jails. I was tired when I reached
the place, SO I at once laid down
and dropped into peaceful slum-
bers and dreamed Of chill, tor
tillas and other good things to eat.
I hadn't been there great while
when l was awakened by the jim
gle of the officers big bunch of
keys. He had a crowbar, a ham,
mer and a chisel in his hands, and
told me l must go to work. He
said he wanted to see if [ could
work. But there is where he
made a mistake. I saw through
his game and determined not to
let them work me out of my
pension that way I explained to
him that my brother had, died Of
overwork and that l didn't see how
two of us could go the same way.
Finally [ asked him where his
work was, and he told me to
dig out Of the Jail if I wanted to
get out. | laughed and told him
I was his star boarder for fifty
years, for the Judge had said SO.
He looked frightened, and told me
he was friend to all Americans
and wanted to help me all he
could, but that I must break out.
| told him l had thought the mat
ter over and concluded to stay
with him, and then he got mad
and said if / wasn't out of there in
sixty minutes he would come in
with his ssbilIv" and break nv
neck.
