Has Marconi Succeeded7

From the Chicago Tribune.
 If Marconi is correct In his statements wireless te.esraphy Is now as prac ,ica1 as cabling. More then this, nothmg cso di- vert the electromagnetic waves tror1 their course across the ocean At present a speed of fifteen words q minute has been reached. When Maj conlis sending apparatus is perfected he expects to cx- ceed thirty words minute, and distance will make no difference In epe@d. as it does with the cable He will multiply messages by multi olyins stations. As to the expense of transmitting he is already under contract with the Canadian gnv- ernment to send ordinary messages across the Atlantic at 10 cents q word and government and press messages at not more than cents a word. and in time he expects to send q dispatch from New York to London IS cheaply as the same dispatch now can be sent t~Jn New York to Philadelphia. Finally Marconi says he can send wireless dispatches over land as easily as over sea.
 These are the claims made by Marconi which are now attracting tiI" attenti )n of financiers and scientists. Of course, some allowance must be made for the en- thusiasm of Marconl over his belief that he has at last brought this old discovery of wireless telegraphy into practical oper- ation. Financiers also will be shy of in- vesting until its commercial advantages have been thoroughly demonstrated This demonstration should nave d fair test from the Cape Cod station at Wcllncat as that Is 600 miles farther away from Cornwall than his Canadian station. md to that extent the experiment will be more difficult. It is not likely that cable

Carnegie on Reading.

I Know something about the circulation of books, said MT. Andrew Carnegie re- centY. I know what millionaires read, what bankers read, what statesmen read, what authors and artists read, what cler- gymen and college professors read, what the cultured women of the country read. The booklovers delivers to the homes of these people over 60O0,O00 books a year, a good deal more than half current fiction. The influence is simply appalling, but it is a good influence. These people repre- sent largely the strenuous life of the country. They are the men and the wo- nen who are making the country, It's b.ains, it's sinews it's genius, it's motive power. They can be trusted with new look. They can do their own testing in sther things, and why not in literature? Why should not the people who patronize public libraries have the same privilege? ! The public library is gradually ceasing to be a circulating library and Is rapidly taking it's place among educational insti- tutions of the academic type. The lead- ing spirits among the librarians are col- lege men whose whole point of view is educational and encyclopedia. All thought and all knowledge and all fact are being tabuated and card indexed. The card index idea has become library craze.

THE PEOPLE HAVE
 FOUND IT OUT
A Great Many Invalids Are Being Cured at the British Medical
 Institute.

A staff of eminent physicians and sur eeons from the British Medical Institute have, at the urgent solicitation of large number of patients under their care m this country, established permanent branch of the institute In this city at the corner of Twenty-second street and Ihlru avenue.
 These eminent gentlemen have decided to give their services entirely free TOT three months (medicines excepted) 10 all invalids who call upon them for treat ment between now and February [.
 These services consist not only or con sultation, examination and advice, put also of all minor surgical operations.
 The object in pursuing this course IS to become rapidly and personally acquaint- ed with the sick and afflicted, and under no conditions will any charge whatever be made for any services rendered for three months to all who call before Feb ruary 7
 The doctors treat all forms of disease and deformities, and guarantee cure in every case they undertake.
 Male and female weakness, catarrh and catarrhal deafness, also varicocele, rup- ture goitre. cancer and all diseases of the rectum are positively cured by their new treatment.

cosmopolltan New York.

From the Youths Companion
 The new Cathedral of St. John in New York will, in addition to its main hall, have seven "chapels of tongues" where German, Spanish, French, Swedish. Ital- ian, Armenian and Chinese services will be held each Sunday. Nevertheless, by the time the great cathedral is finished 1t Is not unlikely that the crypt and tran septs and ante-rooms will be required for other nationalities. A clergyman called upon Bishop Potter the other day to ask that some provision might be made for religious services for some Meso- potamian immigrants.
 Really" replied the bishop, "cannot a handful of Mesopotamians be provided for in connection with your Armenian congregational"
 The young clergyman of the tenements smiled 'I do not know what you call a handful. sir There are some 800 fami- lies of Mesopotamians within ten minutes walk of where we are sitting this moment, and as for their attendance upon Arme- nian services, the languages have about as little in common as Greek and Choc- taw."
 The "Parthians and Medes and Elam- ties" are perhaps yet to come, but the most of the other nationallties mentioned as present in Jerusalem on the first Pentecost after the crucifixion are al- ready represented in New York, and the problem now is the same as 1t was then.

 Well, you are going to do something very unnecessary and improper" said Nan, with the air and tone of a mature woman. You are sure to get into trouble. Why don't you ask your MT. Bethune to take your place, or at least go with you?"
 "Why, you talk as if you knew what I am going to do,' remarked Gabriel.
 At this point MT. Sanders tried to stop in order to deliver an address. T bet you-I bet you a seven-pence ag'in speckled hen that Nan knows precisely what you're up to-"

commercial value of wireless t~legraphy stockholders will worry much until the is fully demonstrated. and that may take some time. But, if. as is now expected by Marconi. his waves will work regard less of distance and all obstacles, and if he is going to reduce the expenses of transmission so that they will not he heavier than in ordinary land business. some time therere will be a slump in ca ble business. All this remains 10 oe seen.
 In the meantime q serious limitation to wireless telegraphy has been pointed out by Sir William Preece, one of the most eminent electricians in England, He has never doubted the possibility of wire less telegraphy, but he douDtn It's pra'- tlcal value, because. as he asserts, 1t is possible to intercept every wireless mes- sage, and, indeed, he claims personal knowledge of three of Marconis stations having been tapped s as.des this, he says the new method is defective because of it's slowness in transmitting signals. The cables now can send from seventy to one hundred words q minute-a speed which he says never can be equaled by the Marconi system. This limitation would not be a serious one. as the slow ness would be offset by the reduced cost of sending, but If .here can be no secrecy there will be vital defect. This Is now a question of fact Marconi claims that the tuning can be automatically changed. as well IS the codes. so that 1t will be im- possible to steal the messages. Sir Will liam Preece, on the other hand. says they can be stolen and nothing can pre- vent it. If .ne latter is right .ie Marco nj system will be of inferior commercial value Time will tell which electrician Is right The cable was a crude affair and had many defects when DeSauty caught its first signal forty-seven years ago.

From the New York Tribune.
 How many Little Peterkins there may be wondering what the Venezuelan trou- ble war or is all about we know not. Surely there has been sufficient explana- ton of the case. If fault there be in such explanation, indeed, 1t Is probable that 1t has been too profuse, likewise diffuse, so that the mind has been bewildered with too many words and has failed to catch the essential grains of truth amid the storm of chaff. It may, therefore. be pertinent and profitable to recall a few definite details of the controversy imme- diately preceding the practical declara- tion of war by the European powers. It was on December that the British min mand upon Venezuela. Speaking of the British claims. of which settlement was asked MT. Haggard said:
 '"These claims include all well-founded claims which have arisen in consequence of the last civil war and previous civil wars, and of the i'll treatment and im- prisonment of British subjects, and they also include an arrangement for the for eign debt. I have asked Venezuela to make declaration that she recognizes in principle the justness of the claims that she will immediately make compen- sation in navigation cases and the cases above mentioned, and in those wherein British subjects have been unjustly im- prisoned and illtreated, and that in re- spect to other claims she will accept the decision of a mixed commission as to the amount and guarantee which should be given for their payment. l have also ex- pressed the hope that Venezuela will de- fer to these demands and will not oblige his majesty's government to take steps to obtain satisfaction"
 The German charge daffaires at the same time addressed the Venezuelan gov ernment in these terms:
 ''The imperial German government has been duly informed of Venezuelas refusal of it's demands relative to the payment of German claims arising out of the civil wars of 1898 and 1900, and of Venezuea's argument. The imperial government, after a re-examlnation of the case does not consider the arguments satisfactory. Venezuelas argument that owing to the internal legislation of the country, 1t Is impossible Automatically to arrange the claims of the foreigners arising out of the wars is not in conformity with inter- national law. -. The imperial gov ernment, therefore, believes itself obliged to contribute in a definite manner to their immediate satisfaction. l am in- structed to pray Venezuela to satisfy,

did. I never know'd before that sob or two would make a Son of Temperance of a man; but that's what they'll do for me Nobody in this world will ever see me drunk agin.'
 It may be said here that MT. Sanders kept his promise. The events which fol- lowed required clear heads and steady hands for their shaping, but each crisis, as 1t arose, found Mr. Sanders, and few others who acted with him, fully nrepared to meet it. Some fell into mel ancholy and some were overtaken by detection, but MT. Sanders never for a moment forgot to be cheerful.
 "I don't suppose there is another girl in the country who would make such a spectacle of herself as I made to- day." said Man. as she and Gabriel walk ed slowly in the direction of town.
 ..I think it was very becoming in you" replied Gabriel
 "Oh. thank your said Nan. You have changed greatly. Gabriel, since Eugenia Claiborne began to make eyes at you. You seem to think it is a mark of polite ness to pay compliments right and left, and to agree with everybody
 Gabriel took no advantage "I'm sorry can't, come, Nan, and I hope you'll not be angry.
 'Angry! why should I be angry?' Nan exclaimed. "An invitation to tea is not so important.
 .But this one is important to me- | said Gabriel. Tt is the first time you have asked me, and I hope 1t won't be the last"
 | Nan said nothing more until she bade | Gabriel goodbye at her fathers gate.
