Inventor Says wireless Telegraph

Inventor Says wireless Telegraph
VIII save Explorers Being Lost.
1T will not be necessary I'm the fu-
ture for arctic explorers 10 die from
starvation because they are lost from
civilization" said Signor Marconi the
other day to n New York World re-
porter. He had just arrived on the
Cunarder Lucania.
"By means Of the wireless telegraph
it will be very easy for an exploring
party TO keep In daily communication
with their home people. Every arctic
expedition hereafter probably win be
equipped with a wireless telegraphio
outfit Should an explorer be so fortu.
nate as TO reach the north pole he can
announce the fact at once 20 the civil
lied world He can tell his friends at
just what point he stands. If he is in
need of supplies he can direct how
these shall be forwarded to him and
Of what they shall consist. He can an
nounce how long he can wait for the
supplies to reach him and can direct
his rescuors how to reach him.
GAN that applies TO the arctic ex-
plorer applies with equal truth to the
explorer in the jungles of interior AZ
rica and Australia. Had the wireless
telegraph been invented in Dr. Living
stones time Il would not have been
necessary 10 send Henry NJ. Stanley TO

; counterfeit Art.

The archRologist who was chosen
some time ago to determine the authen-
ticity Of the tiara of Soitapharnes, a
supposedly precious relic of the Louvre
collection. reported that the tiara was
not authentic and that it was executed
by a Russian artist of the name of
Roukhomorsky. The French govern
ment paid $4,000 for the tiara and
would probably be willing at present to
sell it at large discount.
While nobody over here is likely to
wish the French government any spe-
cial harm, ii must be more or less graf
flying to some of the Americans who
have paid big prices for spurious works
of art 10 be able TO smile at the expense
of people who are supposed TO know all
about art and relics and such things.
1t is claimed by experts that not more
than about one in ten Of the Rapheels
scattered through Europe is genuine.
and if it is so with the Raphaels the
probabilities are that a very large per-
centage Of the so called examples Of the
other masters are Chicago

Aeainst the DRINKING Song.

A society has been formed in Ger
many which would abolish one of the
most honored institutions of the father
land, the song which celebrates the vir-
tues Of drink which is more or less
alcoholic, says the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser. The leader Of the
movement is Or. Otto Won Leixner. a
well known social reformer. In a
pamphlet on the subject he declaims
most vehemently against "the muse
as a handmade Of alcohol" Such songs
are sung by the youth OF the land aud
are more directly responsible for the
growth of alcoholism in Germany than
any one agency.

Horace Butterworth. professor Of phys

The professor stated his views az a

to come. He said:

Mr. Butterworth denounced the pres

A New Motor.

Mechanical. electrical and steam en-
gineers are interested in a steam car
bon motor invented by William Dieter.
who says it will revoluhonize the auto
mobile industry. The invention is
called n steam hydro carbon motor, and
one Of twenty-nine horse power is on
exhibition in Brooklyn Mr.. Dieter said
recently to reporter Of the New York
Herald: MY invention eliminates de-
fects in the steam and gasoline motors
and combines the good qualities Of
each. 1t has double the power Of the
other motors Of the same size and
weight. 1t has no stufiing boxes. which
in ordinary motors require a great deal
OF care and unless handled by expert
enced engineers are apt to consume n
large percentage of the power devel-
oDed by the engine. One OF the fea-
lures Of this motor is that it has gaso-
line cylinders attached. Its construc-
ton permits travelling over rough roads
or carrying heavy loads"

Radinm In the snn.

W. f. Wilson of Daramara. taking
the observation that one grain of ra-
dium can supply 100 calories per hour,
has computed the proportion of radium
in the sun which would be required to
account for its output of energy. Lang
ley calculated that the sun is produc-
ing energy at the rate of s2S,OOO.00O
calorios per square centmeter per hour.
and, taking this figure, it would re-
quire but 80 grams (about fifty-four
grains) Of radium per cubic meter (3937
inches Of the suns volume to account
for the entire energy given out by the
latter. llr. Wilson suggests that pos
sibly at the enormous solar tempera-
tue radium may be capable Of even
more energetic action. and, if so, the
3.6 grams per cubic meter might be re-
duced TO a still smaller amount.

READY FOR BUSINESS.
A Ring From Secretary shaw's once
and the nesponsc Thereto

a rims rom nFNI"Nttf- CANAfN = I'm
and the Response Thereto
One day recently when Secretary
Shaw was debating a letter the door
leading into his office suddenly swung
open, and there stood n man with Al
caiiber Colts revolver in his hand. The
weapon was about foot long and was
loaded with cartridges the size Of
mans thumb. The mans finger was
on the trigger, and he seemed ready for
business. A friend Of the secretary
was sitting t.. the Office, and it seemed
10 hin that there soon would be some
hing doing"
But there was no shooting. The sec
retary looked curiously as the intruder,
and the next instant the latter was
apologizing.
"Did yor ring?- he asked.
'No," replied the secretary.
"The signal vent off downstairs. and
1 thought you rang. Excuse me, sir
"All right" said Air Shaw. And the
man with the gun retired. He was
member Of the treasury watch. Acct
dentally the alarm connecting the cap
tains room and the secretary's desk
was sounded, ard he had FASTENED up
stairs to defend Mr.. Shaw against a
possible assailant.
There is a pearl button at the end of
an electric wire at the secretary's ell
bow, and II he needs assistance against
assault a slight pressure will bring the
treasury guard to his aid. This con
trivance was installed three years ago,
after Frank II. Morris Of Cleveland
the war department auditor. was as
sassinated in his Office by a disgruntlcd
clerk. Lyman ]. Gage was then the
head Of the treasury, and Frank A..
Nanderlip was an assistant secretary.
Threats were uttered against both Of
them, and they Immediately prepared
for any contingency. Each was given
big revolver, which reposed on lit
tie shelf upon the lid of his desk, and
then the desks were connected by cleo
tric.wire with the Office of the captain
Of the guard. But no one ever offered
to molest either official, and their sue
cessors likewise have been free from
yance.-Cleveland Leader.

A Nerv Liternture.

A new literature is in process Of de-
velopment You often hear an intelli-
gent man or woman say, Il always
look in the back first" If you carefully
seek the reason for this you will dis
cover that in the pages and pages Of
advertising in the back Of the maga-
zines is to be found. not only much that
is instructive, but much that is inter
esting and suggestive in a purely liter
airy way. The modern advertisement
is worth looking at. whether it is the
sounding proclamation Of some big cor
pOration, with facts and figures both
weighty and impressive. or the light.
eye catching notice Of some simple
trade or contrivance. All forms of lit
erary composition find place in the adj
vertising pages history, story, verse.
Many advertisements measure up to
the test of good literature In truth,
there is often an uncommon amount of
character in them. A word here or a
phrase there is often singularly vivid
as local color" and behind many an
advertisement it is possible 10 see a

1t looks very much as if the Rio
Grande road would not build their
new depot in this city this year.
But there need be little regret on this
account because they will build it in
the spring if not this fall. The needs
of the service in this city now demand
new depot and it will come. as all
such things come. in time. We would
all like to see a new union station.
but still we would prefer to see one
which would measure up to the needs
of the town, not only for the present
but for ten years in the future. We
would rather wait a considerable time
longer and secure something which
would be an ornament to the city,
that a make shift that would hardly
be much better than what we have
now, Patience is good thing.
