NIGHT AIDS WIRELESS SYSTEM
EIarconi in Lecture mt Lonfnn Sav.
Messages Can Be Sent Further
After Dark

Marconi, in a lecture at the ROYAL
institution at London, said it was by
means of magnetic detector that he
improved upon the coherers hitherto
employed. He declared it might be
possible by this system to receive sew
eral hundred words minute. At pres
ent he could read 80 words minute.
Referring to February's expert
ments, when readable messages were
received aboard ship 1851 miles from
Cornwall, and Indications were received
for distance of 2,099 miles, he said
that at distances Of over ZOO miles sig-
mails transmitted by day entirely failed.
while those sent at night remained
strong up to distance of 1851 miles
and were even decipherable at dis
lance of 2,099 miles.
This might be due, he declared. to
Standardization of the very highly
charged transmitting elevated con.
ductor when operated by daylight. He.
did not think that the effect of DAYLIGHT,
would confine the working of trans.
Atlantic wireless biography to hours:
of darkness, as sufficient sending en-.
ergy could be used during the daytime

HOW SOON BEHEADING KILLS.
A French Physician Says That Death
May Not Ensue for the Space
of Three Hours.

Considerable attention has lately
been given in France to the old ques-
ton as to whether death follows in
simultaneously upon decapitation. A
French physician asserts that it does
not. In his opinion the blood which
flows after decapita ton comes from
the large vessels of the neck, and there
is hardly any call upon the circulation
OF the Uranium, says the London
News. The brain remains intact, nour-
ishing itself with the blood retained
by the pressure of the air. When the
blood remaining in the head at the mo-
ment of separation is exhausted there
commences a state, not of death, but Of
inertia, which lasts up to the moment
when the organ, no longer fed,
ceases to exist. It is estimated by the
physician in question that the brain
finds nourishment in the residuarv
blood for about an hour after decapi-
tation. The period of inertia would
last for about two hours, he thinks,
and absolute death would not ensue
till after the space of three hours al
together. Possibly this may be some
consolation to those about to be gull
ioffned

A CHESS-PLAYING TOWN.
One of the Requirements of Every
Inkabitant OF n Village
in Hungary.

There is in Hungary village probab-
ly unique among the worlds towns, in
that it not only encourages chess as a
pastime, but insists that the king of
games shall be played by every man,
woman and child in the place.
It is just as necessary in this out-of-
the-world spot for the inhabitants to
be proficient chess players as it is for
them to be able to read, write and
cipher. Prizes are given to the school
children for proficiency in cheese.
Problems are given to the scholars
that they are expected to take home
and work out in their spare hours in
addition to their other tasks.
Hungary has long been famous for
her chess players. Indeed, this little
village has, as can be we'll understood,
turned out more than one player who
has been considered fit to rank
with such giants as Lasker, Steinitz or
Tchigorin.
Every Christmas great tournament
is held in the village, and the burgo-
master gives prizes for the best jul
venile and adult players.

HAYTIAN HONESTY.
Uncounted Couriers Carry Loads of
Wealth Over DeSolate Mountain
Passes in Safety.

Hayti is the only country in the
world "where black rules white" Al
though the present republic is not sue
cessful because SO large q portion of
the citizens are lazy and uneducatad,
yet the people have many good quail
ties which, according to Mr.. Hesleth
Pritchard, show themselves in unex-
pected and contradictory ways.
Zone of the things that strike one
most is that Hayti is a country of ex-
tremes and contrasts. Logic is always
at fault. A Haytian's honesty is like a
Haytian's mind it is apt to surprise
you round odd corners.
For example, hundreds of thou
sands of Haytian dollars pass annually
along the lonely track between JAG
mel and Port au Prince. The men
who bear them are low-class Haytians;
ragged, uncouth. uneducated, wild and
untutored Yet only once have the
dollars failed to arrive. | have heard
it said that ten dollars might tempt
the Hay tian's cupidity, but $4,000 awes
him into immaculate honesty.
During the last 80 years uncount-
ed couriers have made the desolate
journey over the mountain passes. each
with his load of wealth, and there is
only this one instance known of the
betrayal of trust. A fine record"

Cottonseed oil, corn oil and Hnseed

iecentiy the editor of the National

What is the difference in edible
oils" The question suggests the rea-
sons for present experiments. "As a
matter Of fact" declares our contem-
porary, petroleum has been success
fully desulphurized and demincral-
lied. Certain other solids and ingre
dents have been extracted from it.
and the production Of fairly good
edible oil has already been produced

has as yet been so great as to re

competition and utility. Petroleum.
