"Mr. Marconi. -
ON the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
Mr." Marconi, as he prefers to be known
In England. is thorough cosmopolitan,
and except for an occasional difficulty with
tn ''th'' sound. which it is given to very
few Of those belonging to the Latin races to
overcome. speaks perfect English with
slightly American accent. The fact that his
mother was an Irish woman perhaps &C
counts for his fluency. However, he has not
yet quite mastered the subleties of the pro-
cedure governing English company meet
ings, and yesterday in putting motion to
the shareholders he was for a moment at
loss to know how to ask them to signify
their assent and dissent. Somebody, when
he paused, suggested wireless telegraphy.
but in the end the usual semaphoric system
was adopted. Mr.. Marconi by the way, has
an almost perfect physical double In his
brother, who was also at the meeting.

AGAINST MALARIA
Directions Issued by Gen. Davis to His
Post Surgeons.

In view of the reported increased preva-
lence of malarial fevers at certain posts in
the Philippines. Gen. Davis has called on
the post surgeons to use every possible
method to restrict the spread of these
levers. He says that the use of the mosquito
bar should be made compulsory. and care
should be exercised to insure the best re-
suits from Its use. He direct that the mos
quito bars be used as carefully by the
native scouts as by the American troops.
All available means should be adopted to
free the camp site and it's immediate sur
roundings from the pest of mosquitoes by
destroying the insects, their larvae and
breeding places; meanwhile protecting ma
larial eases from being bitten that the local
insects may not become infected, and pro-
tectlng healthy men that they may not
have the germs of disease implanted in
them by mosquitoes that have already be-
come pervaded with the malarial organism.

"Antique" Furniture.
From the London Chronicle.


The trade in London in antique" furni-
ture. got UP so deftly to defy even ex-
perts for a time, is extremely large. Tie
wealthy amateur collector is the chief suf-
ferer, but even experienced mon are some
times at fault. especially in the depart
ment of old chairs. BY using thoroughly
seasoned wood or portions Of undoubtedly
genuine old furniture, the maker Of IAN
tfuues" can turn out costly chairs which
will defy the closet inspection. 1t is only by
removing part of the tapestry covering and
taking out a joint that the skilled dealer Is
able to detect the bogus character of some
of the costliest chairs. The cleverest
"faker" can scarcely make new joint look
old, and even il he succeeds, the use Of a
plane on the joint will soon expose the
fraud But this method of detection cannot
be employed in the auction room. and many
fakes are only discovered when the
dealer has conveyed his supposed treasure
to his premises.

turned up in London, where he was reported to be receiving fatterng attentions from the Royal Geo. graphical Society and other notabes. How he and his exhibit got has never been publicly explained but he and it got there somehow and last winter he blew into Washington, D. C., with gold medals" galore, which no one ever say, however.
 What undoubtedly made the hit in London is the imposing personnel of the society, as indicated by its printed matter When the list of honorary officers is scanned, the effect the unsuspecting British mlnd can be imagined. No wonder the Alaska Academy of Sciences feels honored by the distinguished prefer ment of its president. Mir. Jackson's includes: Ad- miral Dewey Prince Luigi, of Savoy, the Earl of Min to, Gov John C. Brady, Bishop P. T. Rowe, Miss Clara Braton, Prof Alexander Graham Bell Prof. George Davidson, Edward II. Hartman, James J. Hill, David Starr Jordan, Sir Wlfnd Laurier Sir Clements Markham, Baron r. von Richthoten, Lady Henry Somerset. and score of others whose names are well known in dozen countries.
 So far as can be learned the names of these conspc- uous figures attached to the Alaska Geographl- cal society by direct appointment of President Arthur C. Jackson. The active management of the society affairs has always been in his hands with Mrs. lsa- hela (. Jackson, his wife bonding secretary. Therefore it seems to be purely Jacksonian affair managed with such simplicity that how 1t derives an income outside the active management has ever clearly understood

THE ULTIMATE OF lDiOCY.

The evidences of complete and utter idiocy do not wax or wane with thc moon or the scasoAs. Ever and they crop up in the most unexpected places The peddcr of stnsatonalism always receives warm welcome; the weak o intellect, the ignorant and the superstitous, always shining mark for the design ing and the interruptions Recently. little cotere of people, il is said, succeeded in making Nome official believe that his life was in danger. Why or by whom he was threatened we do not know. and we will ven ture the assertion that neither do the persons making the allegations. They were simply peddlers of the wind. Perhaps they had point to make. A few short weeks ago candidate for the city council borrowed gun, which, if he had attempted to use. he would have probably done damage to himself or some equally hapless person. This swashbuckler also armed a servtor and he trailed his master" as ahoayguard. He followed fashion"
 But the fears for the personal safety of the coun- chmanic swashbuckler seem to have penetrated to higher and sacred precincts, and the bodyguard was again seenfo 8 brief season.
 It is almost nconceivabe that men of any station should be utterly white-lvered. The men who Haake such "plays" usually the verest polroons lacking both moral and physical courage. Any mans life, and his property for that matter, are as safe in Nome as in any town in the United States; much safer than in many, in fact The people of this burg do not go armed with brace of Colts, or with bowie knives in their boot legs or down their backs They do not seize the Winchester in their domciles and go out gunnng for human flesh. As a rule they attend strictly to their immediate affairs and belong to societies whose drinking cup is human skull or whose sign manual is the skull and cross- bones.
 An official of high or low degree, or any private citizen is just as safe in Nome he would be in Washington D; C., and to suggest otherwise by word act is unwarranted insult upon every American citizen in this section.

AN HONOR WHICH IS DOUBTFUL,

One Arthur C. Jackson, pres dent of an alleged "Alaska Geographical society," has been indulging in lot of "hot ar' and has been showering empty h4nOrs and titles usual upon number of residents of Alaska Recently he "honored' Judge Alfred S.
 Moore president of the "Alaska Academy of Sciences by making him an honorary vice president of the geographical society, for all of which the academic so- ciety and its president, doubt feel highly gratifed
 There is especial ground for it, however. Arthur c. Jackson for a number of years has been trading upon certain kind of prestige and standing obtained through being the alleged president of the "Alaska Geographical society,"" He was in Nome in 1900 and perhaps he successful in dspo-ng of few memberships which he offered at the modest sum ot five dollars per year. If he found Give one," which we doubt, he sold him life membership for $Ne. Mir. Jackson has not been in Nome since, but he has been working his graft. In 1901 he was in Buffalo, N.

Then President Jackson moved his society to Atlanta

In time the official title of the new isthmian or Panama canal will be announced but in the meantime they are beginning down in New York to call it the American canal. It is American in that it cuts the isthmus connecting the two great American continents, and it is American because the great Amer ican republic has finally provided the money and the energy to carry the enterprise to completion. The name is appropriate and will prob ably stick.

"WHO,' WHICH AND THAT" :"

A very common and confusing error in English speech, says an exchange, is the misuse of the rela- tive pronouns, "who, (which" and "that." Clear expression requires a grasp of the important distinc- tions between the grammatical function of each of these little words.
 The author of "The Nerbalist" and "l'he Orthoepist," who wrote under the name of Alfred Ayres, defines very clearly the uses of these pronouns. "Who' and "which," he states, are properly the co-ordinating relative pronouns, and "that' Is properly the restrict i've relative pronoun. Whenever a clause restricts, limits, defines, qualities the antecedent, i. e., when ever it is adjectival, it should be introduced with the relative pro- noun "that,' and not with "which, " nor with "who" or "whom.'
 This rule may be exemplified as follows: "The judges, who decide cases, ought to know the law" means that judges decide cases and ought to know the law. If the sentence were "The judges that de- eide cases, etc.," the meaning would be that some judges decide cases and some do not, and that those that do ought to know the law. Again, take the sentence, All mem bers of the legislature, who are re- publicans, will hold a caucus" " This means that every member of the legislature is a republican,, and that all members will hold a eau GUS. If the sentence were All members of the legislature that are republicans, etc.," the sentence would mean that only those mem bers that are republicans, i. e., less than all, will hold a caucus.
 Whenever the relative pronoun is intended to limit or restrict the noun to which 1t refers-that is when the phrase introduced by the relative does not apply to all oh- iects included within the meaning of the noun-"that" is the proper pronoun to Use. When, on the contrary, the phrase introduced by the pronoun applies to or describes all objects included within the meaning of the noun, "who" ol (which" is the proper pronoun.
 This is an important and useful rule which demands some vigilance and attention to put into practice but which, if carefully followed will clarify ones language and ren. der 1t at once correct and exact.
