Its Odor Drives Them or.

The Department of Agriculture is in
vestigating the virtues of the ocimumvi-
rides. a plant from Northern Nigeria
and experts say that if all thai is claimed
be proved ocimumvrides will soon be all
the rage as decorations for entertain
ments and dinners during the summer
social season.
1t is conceded it is not as beautiful as
Bride roses or orchids, but it will re-
move mosquitoes, and in this fact its
popularity is expected to lie. Place a
pot of ocimumvirdes on the dining
table or the veranda Of summer cot
tage and the mosquitoes will leave and
not return so long as the plant is around
Mosquitoes object to the odor the plant
eXudes. This resembles thynian and
eucalyptus. The department, before Civ
ing its unqualified Endorsement to the
ornamental mosquito exterminator, is
first going to find out if the insects will
cultivate a liking for il.

NEW IDEAS BY MARCONl.
He Brings -Four Inventions for His Wireless
System.

New York (SpeciaD.-According to
William Marconi, who arrived here on
the Cunard liner Lucania, the system of
sending wireless messages TO any nee
essary distance under any conditions
has been perfected, and within three
months his company will accept COM
mercial messages for transmission to
Europe.
OF most importance is his positive
statement that one Of four new inven-
tions he brings with him will make it
impossible for a rival to interfere with
the sending or receipt OF messages.
When told of the interference a rival
company is said to have created in the
reporting OF the yacht races Tuesday,
so that his instruments were poweress
to receive bulletins on the races, Sig
nor Maconi laughed and said that with
the new inventions all that would be
impossible. He had so perfected his
system that any number OF instruments
could be flashing messages through the
same spacesnd they would not in any
way interfere with his own.
II this proves true the greatest OBJ
lection which scientists and commercial
houses have found with the system has
been obviated

New York (SpeciaD DIN a glorious
wholesail breeze, over a triangular
course, ten miles to a leg. the feet
footed cup defender Reliance again
showed her heels to Sir Thomas Lip
tons challenger, taking the second race
OF the cup series OF 1903 by the mar
row margin OF one minute and nine
teen seconds.
1t was as pretty and as hard a fought
contest as has ever been sailed off
Sandy Hook. and had the wind not
fallen during the last ten minutes the
record for the course-three hours
twelve minutes and fifteen seconds
made by Columbia two years ago i'll
her memorable race against Shamrock
H., would have been broken.
As it was, Reliance sailed the thirty
miles within two minutes and thirty
nine seconds OF the record, which
speaks wonders for her speed in the
wind that was blowing.
Reliance's victory, narrow as it was.
would have been even smaller had not
Captain Wrnge, the skipper OF the
British ship, bungled the start, sending
his craft over the line nineteen seconds
after the last gun and handicapping
her to that extent
At every point OF sailing the defend
cr's superiority was demonstrated. She
gained one minute and ffty-one sec
onds in wndwark work. forty seconds
on the run to the second mark and
fortyhve seconds on the close reach
for home
Based upon the magnificent showing
she has made in the two races already
sailed. it is the belief OF many experts
that the cup is safe and that it will take
something better than Flies latest ere
alton to even bulge it.
Just before the finish the wind died
down, but Reliance went across i'll
ample time to win, having covered the
ten miles in 81 minutes 40 seconds.

on the horizon, fully two miles astern
OF the gallant defender, the fourth race
Of the present series for the America S
cup Thursday was declared off because
OF the expiration OF the time limit OF
five and one-half hours, as happened
on Thursday last.
Although. officially, it was no race,
the defeat administered to the challen-
ger was so ignominious that whatever
lingering hope remained in the breasts
OF the friends OF Sir Thomas boat
vanished into thin air. Reliance's vic
tory was in every way more decisive
than that of last Saturday. Outsailed,
outpointed and outfooted, it was a pro-
cession from start to finish.
The Herreshoff wonder beat the
Shamrock hopelessly in the fifteen
miles OF windward work, rounding the
outer mark IL minutes and 80 seconds
ahead of her, gain in actual time OF
II minutes and 20 seconds, and down
the wind she steadily increased her
lead.
The real race OF the day was not
against Shamrock Ill. but it was seen
in the exciting struggle OF Reliance in
the last half hour to reach the finish
line before the regatta committee fired
the gun which should announce the ex-
piration OF the time limit
Had the wind freshened twenty min
utes earlier than it did the cup series
would have ended with three straight
wins for the defender, and Flies ia
nous light-weather boat would have
sailed back to Albion shores one OF the
most disastrously worsted chalengers
in the history of the Americas cup
contests.
