Scotland boasts of two round
towers, said to be stragglers from
the great typical group found in
Ireland. The one is attached to
the handsome cathedral Of Brechin
and the other stands in the center
of Abernethy, near the entrance
gate to the churchyard. The
Bleehin tower, built in six irregu-
lar courses and rising over 100 feet,
is the more perfect of the two. It
dates from Kenneth s reign, 971 -95,
and has a most graceful appear
ance. Pennent in his history
speaks of having, in l772, found
handsome bells within its walls.
These were afterward removed and
now hang in a neighboring steeple.
The origin of these towers is now
doubtful, but psychologists are
generally agreed that they were
built in connection with churches
s'for defense and faithfulness of
watch" during the Norseman raids.
They were afterward used as bel
fries, the Breohin having done
duty as such for generations. The
tower is now one Of the sights of
the ancient town and is regarded
as memorial Of its early connec-
ton with Ireland Scottish Amer

From Here and There.

The deplorable massacre of SO
many helpless men, women AMI
children in Russia, brings to mind
forcibly the fact that the ruler of
that unhappy country is sincere
advocate of peace. There is no
doubt of the Cars sincerity in
wishing a peaceful settlement Of
the worlds quarrels, but Nicholas
is hedged in by. bigots and officials
whose fanatical acts reflect great
discredit upon a ruler well known
for his kind disposition. I'm this
we see paradox-an -autocratic
empire ruled by faction of am
bilious zealots while the real ruler,
lacking personal force, is relegated
to second place. Nicholas will
probably leave no direct heir to
his crown when he dies and as the
grand duke, his brother, is in SYM
pathy with the conservatives, Rus
STA has not much to look forward
to. The empire may expand to
the east so as to include Man
churia, but if the condition of the
Russians does not rise in proper
ton, no real lasting advancement
will have been made.
- So
The universal tendency of the
world powers to increase their
fighting strength suggests dan
gerous condition Of affairs in the
near future. Large armies and
great navies, to be efficient, must
be stimulated by constant drill
and practice. This has tendency
to develop ambitious officers, and
it is foregone conclusion that
nothing suits a thoroughgoing
martinez better than the substitu-
ton Of real for sham warfare.
Consequently war is the best con-
dition under which martial strength
can be obtained, and as war means
rapid promotion and honors for
soldiers, large armies will naturally
lead to battles and bloodshed. IF
the same amount of energy and
money that is now expended to
keep fighting men in readiness for
war was dispersed to promote the
cause of peace, armies and navies
could soon be permanently dis
pensed with. Andrew Carnegie

From all sides came: "You play

NEW WIRELESS SYSTEM.
Inventor Claims His Discovery win
RevOlutioni1e Present Meth
DDS of Concentration.

A new system of wireless telegraphy
which promises to revolutionize the
present methods of that system of COM
munication, according to the claims OF
its inventor, was successfully tested the
other day on the deck of the whaleback,
Christopher Columbus, which runs be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee.
G. S. Piggott, an electrician of 26O
Garfield avenue, Chicago, is the in
ventor of the new contrivance, and he
says that while on the vessel he received
the prearranged signal message, &c. S.
p" from his mother, who transmitted
the message from transmitting instru-
ment installed in his home The new
contrivance has NO poles at stations,
and the sender is in the room of the in
ventor's house, although the receiver
was placed on the deck of the boat. The
inventor declares, however, that it
would have received the message if he
had had it in his pocket.
An intensifier, of the inventors own
construction, SO accentuates the inn
pulses felt by the receiver that the poles
are unnecessary. The receiver is
timed" SO that it will respond only to
currents of certain rapidity of alterna-
ton, and the transmitter is an alternat-
ing current static electric generator
with current of about $4,000 alterna-
tions per second. A patent has been ap-
piled for on the invention.
