this necessitates the throwing OF other

to be an opening for the projecting de,

seen, its purpose is to overcome the

Wireless 1eleuraphy.

The recent experiments of Marconi
on board the Italian cruiser Carlo AL
berto have been reported upon by Nd.
Solari, who concludes:
First-There is no limit to the dis
lance to which electric waves may be
transmitted at the earth's surface, pro-
vided the energy is increased as the
distance increases.
Second-Material obstacles inter-
posed between the transmitter and the
receiver do not interrupt communica-
ton.
Third-The effect of sunlight is to
diminish the field of radiation of the
electric waves, so that a greater en-
ergy is required by day than by night
to do the same work.
Fourth-The influence of atmospher.
ic discharges forces us to reduce the
sensitiveness of the receivers so as to
make them independent of these dis.
charges, and at the same time it is
necessary to increase the energy of
transmission to obtain the desired eff.
fects.
,Fifth-Wir eless .telegraphy has
reached point where it must be reck-
oned with in commerce as well as in
war.

A Farmers Good Story.

Velpen, Ind, April 6th.-Wm OBJ.
Sullivan, highly respected farmer OF
this place, tells personal experience
to show that there is still some genu-
ineness and honest worth to be met
with in this age in which so many
frauds are reported.
Eyes, have been humbugged," said
Mr.. Sullivan, land when 1 was so i'll
with the rheumatism, Kidney and
Heart Trouble, used a good deal of
stuff that claimed to be remedies for
these diseases only to find them worth
less.
But, as you know, 1 did find the
genuine remedy after all and had not
been taking Dodd's Kidney Pills very
long before I knew that they were an
honest remedy that would do all and
more than was claimed for them. They
cured me, made a well man of me and
am now as sound as ever was.

Pills are a genuine remedy Tor Rheu-

Of man merely shook-his head: The
question was not clear. Trying again,

with the little Ashhook releasing De.
vice which has just been introduced
by Michigan inventor. This is prob
ably the first device which Gould be

BILE, and there 10 little doubt that it
will accomplish its purpose. The in
vention consists of tubular section
OF lead. with a cord attached to raise
and lower it on the line, and it is OBJ
vious that if the fisherman pulls the
tube up and allows it to drop on the
hook number of times the latter will
be driven out OF the snag to which it
has become attached. To permit this
weight to be slipped over the line with
out liability of becoming detached as
it falls, the slot through which the
line is passed is in the form of a
double spiral, making it easy to slip
the tube on the line and drop it down
until it strikes the hook.
