D. Butler has a stone mason at work
on the foundation for large frame
dwelling house which he plans having
built at his place early in the spring
before seeding.
The spell of winter weather we had a
while back may be figured on as having
knocked the profits of the season off the
work of the thresher.
Several of this locality who have been
in the Canadian Northwest during the
past summer months have returned to
see about their fall work. Alberta seems
to be the favorite locality with people of
this neighborhood who have become
enarmoured with Cannuckdom.

been much surprised at the vigor

Captain Langdon says that Mrs.

memory of the dead president in

men is quartered near the vault,
and some of them are always on
guard at the front and back of the
vault. A lieutenant is in charges,
and whenever the vault is to be OPP

is required to be present.
Every morning at 1890 o'clock

percha button, and has platinum
contact points. The play between
the contacts was about. an inch. !.
This of course can be regulated, but
considerable play is necessary to
prevent sticking.
The greater part of the operating
room floor space is occupied by con-
densers. They are about waist
high, and form a square in the
room. Crossing them from corner
to corner are two pieces of sheet
zinc about a foot wide and ten or
twelve feet long. At the left end of
the room from the entrance are the
electrodes, with three square oil
tanks for cooling purposes, and two
silver globes about the size of 8
croquet ball.
! There is space of about four
inches between these globes, and it
lis the crossing of the electricity ov-
er this air bridge from one e1ectrode
to the other that gives the "spark"
and the loud reports when the op-
orator is busy with the key.
One of the electrodes he said was
connected with the aerial wires and
the other with the ground. When
the electricity was switched into
the condensers it gathered force,
passed to the outer wires and down
to an electrode.
The opening and closing of the
key caused the wires to charge and
discharge and the jumping OF the
current across the air space from
one eleetrode to the other gave the
pulsations which the other took up
and carried to the other side Of the
Atlantic. Z; sag
Assistant Kemp turned the cur
rent on at word from Marconi, and
the quick opening and closing Of
the key was responded to by q
spark between the electrodes all
most binding in vividness. The
reports were like the crackIe heard
when lightning strikes at no great
distance. The letter "P" or the
numeral "6" in American Mere
suggested machine-gun fire. DASH
es were kind of ''zip," running
together of dots.
Before taking hold of the key
Marconi stuffed his ears with cotton
to deaden the sound, and told the
visitors that eventually the opera
tors would have a sound proof
booth to work in.
The receiving instruments are in
the same room. The other waves
when they arrive from Glace Bay
or Poldhu are rather feeble, but
Marconi's magnetic detector reiu-
venates the tired vibrations and
gives them through a telephone re-
ceiver on a recording tape in clean
cut dots and dashes.
Marconi says he would like a
word short and easily pronounced
to distinguish messages sent With
out the aid of wires. He objects to
calling them "Marconigrams."

Washington, Jan. 22.-The Unit
ed States government is awaiting
the proper time to tell Germany in
Iplain, sharp terms that her oppres-
sion of Venezuela must stop.
The administration is aware that
such notice means a possibility of
war, and if war comes the president
wants the united sentiment of the
country at his back. He also wants
the sympathy of Europe, and ha
wants ofght only one power.
He believes the bombarding of a
few more forts will silence the last
protestor of German friendship for
the United States and that public
sentiment will be solidly behind
him in commanding the Kaiser to
stop.
It is believed, too, that continu-.
ance of Germany's present course
will alienate England and ItaIy
from the alliance and justify this
country in the eyes of Europe in
calling on Germany to halt.
The administration cannot recon-
cile Germany's conduct with her
continued professions of friendship
and honest motives. That Venezu-
elan forts should be attacked after

ington with full power from Presi-
dent Castro to negotiate terms of

ni6cant7of some hidden purpose.
The administration has been sus-
picious of Germany from the day
the Venezuelan warships were sunk.
Every German gun fired since then
has increased the suspicion.

Grants Pass, Or, Jan. 26.-One
of the richest gold mines ever made
in Josephine county has just been
.made1by E. g.. Dugger, q miner in
this city, on mountain two miles
from here. Dugger, while prospect
ing uncovered ledge five feet in
width. The outcrop of the vein car
ries gold in quantity sufficient to
make the yellow metal visible in
all parts of the quartz. This part
of the ledge. will give returns Of
hundreds of dollars per ton in free
gold.
Mining men consider this one of
the most important discoveries that
have been made in this section for
some time. A remarkable feature
of it is that the ledge could have
gone undiscovered for so long a
time. Nearly all of josephine
county has been prospected better
than Ethe hills Immediately sur
rounding the city. and for this rea-
son a number of good finds may be
expected to be made almost in the
limits of the city. Several years
ago a large quartz boulder was
found at the foot of the hill beneath
the spot where the recent find has
been made. The boulder contained
9 vast anount of free gold; Atthat
time it was supposed that the benld-
er must have broken off from a
ledge above and rolled down TO
where it was found, and an attempt
was made to locate the ledge, but
without success. Several claims
have already been staked adjoining
the recent find.

after more cash, but I don't see how
that can be for he's got more than
any other man In this here town.
Leastwise that is what Bill says,

Just then Smith entered the
store and the reporter asked him
the reason of his generosity to
Thornton.
