Wireless Telephoning.

The electrical transmission Of speech
to a distance of 500 to 1900 feet without
the use of wires was recently given a
successful commercial test between two
ferry boats moving in opposite direc-
tions on the North River, by \. +. Col
Inns, who for three years has been expert
menting with wireless telephoning. An
tennae We're used as in wireless telvg-
raphy, fitted to the fagstaffs of the ferry
boats. a battery of fifty cells outside
the pilot house furnished the current
The water contacts were furnished by
liCes of copper tubing let down through
the rain pipes of the ferry boat to the
water, which, however, made only an
indifferent contact with the element. In
spite of some poor adjustments of this
kind, conversation was distinctly heard
in the pilot-house of an approaching
boat equipped with a receiver. 1t is
thought that the wireless telephone will
have very useful adaptation in time of
fog in signaling the exact position and
course Of ferry-boat to other craft in
the immediate neighborhood

A Box Of Old Coins unearthed.

A box of old coins supposed to have been
buried by the Tories during the Revolution
airy period was recently unearthed by laborers
working on one of the eastern railroads, but
as the coins were about two centuries old they
would probably have no more value today
than many of the remedies compounded for
stomach, liver and bowel disorders. 1t is
therefore necessary if you want TO recover
your health, TO be careful in the selection OF a
me iicine that will restore the appetite, purify
the blood, and cure headache indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation of the liver and kidney
troubles. You will make no mistake if.you
try HOstetter's Stomach BtterSbecause il will
positively cure these diseases, Hundreds of
people have voluntarily testified to this fact
during the past fifty years.

Important Bankruptcy Ruling.

Judge II. H. Wheeler of the United
States district court has just rendered
decision in the bankruptcy case of Par
ker T. Hall of Lyndonviue which is Of
considerable Importance. The decision
is, in effect, that a chattel mortgage
given upon goods then on hand and upon
goods afterwards acquired is valid
against bankruptcy proceedings upon the
goods on hand at the time of the giving
of the mortgage and not valid on goods
afterwards acquired unless the mort
gage gets possession of the same more
than four months before bankruptcy. In
the case in question this makes the
mortgage of Mrs. Josephine lee valid to
the amount of S625.
