M'DONALD NOT LIKELY TO BID.
Saws He Is Too Old for Big Job Like the
Canal.

Since the signing on Thursday of the treaty be-
tween the United States and Colombia for the
construction of the Panama Canal. the question
as TO who shall construct this national waterway
has presented itself.
After the treaty has been ratified by the Senate
OF the United States and the Colombian Congress
bids for the complete construction of the canal
will undoubtedly be asked for by the government

ordered favorably reported to the Rouse w .--l
unanimous vote of the committee The minority

tho right TO offer amendments to the bill on the

The bill will probably not be considered IN tiie
House until after next week. Several approprla-

standing now is that next week will be devoted
largely to these measures The rePorls win De
complied by Mr. Littlefeld. and will be hleo as
soon as this work can be done.
Chairman Jenkins said after the meeting tha'
he would not oppose the bill The length OF the

For generating the waves 1 sometimes use
combination of condenser and transformer. Oh
that arrangement l have taken out seVefai pat

From other sources it was learned that when
Marconi's generator is at work for transoceahic
service it makes a racket like a succession OF
cannon shots A spark is formed between TWO
large brass globes, as with the familiar bit OF
apparatus called an "inductor COLL In the
Marconi station at Cape Cod the gap between
the globes, across which the stream OF hghtnihs
flows. is only one centmetre (or less tnan nan
an inch) wide. but the sound is deafenlns. 1he
spectacle is dazzling, not to say appaihns. All
other electrical instruments in the Uclnlty'
especially telephone, much affected therepy.
In order to produce the phenomena of Hertz
waves, it is necessary to employ two eXpedlents
First, the voltage, or pressure of the electric
current must be raised For Edison lights the
current has 10 volts For trolley service about
five hundred or six hundred volts are employed.
The Manhattan Elevated Railway Company
raises it's current to IL, 900 volts for transmits
sion to suh-stations and then transforms the
pressure down to 600 volts for actual use. The
current sent from Niagara to Buffalo over one
line is transmitted at 1000 vots Out in Cali
fornia and Colorado 10000 and $4,000 have
been used successfully. Lord Kelvin said when
he in this country last year that for trans
mission he thought pressure still higher was
practica BILE. Everything depends on the lnsula-
tion and only the best means will avert breaK-
age. At Cape Cod Marconi transforms his cur
rent up to $4,000 10000 volts. He believes
it will be possible to exceed this pressure IN
time.
The other requisite for the production of Hertz
waves is that current of exceedingly h1gh
chQn ha into tod hyr
This experience sets up violent electrical oscll-
lations in the metallic conductor and then radi-
ates them out into space.
Signor Marconi was asked whether his sys"
tenn could be used successfully across the Pa
ciic Ocean.
The distance between Italy and Argentina
is six thousand miles, he answered, and we
expect to have system in operation over that
distance in about a MONTH

Land Purchases May Be for L. 1. :
Nesr- ENGLAND Connection.

In the last three months many large parcels
of land adjoining and running parallel to the
tracks of the Long Island Railroad from Long
Island City to Woodside have quietly changed
ownership. So successfully have the buyers or
the parcels kept the object of the purchase
from becoming known that this extensive pur-
chasing movement is puzzling and perplexlns
scores of property owners in that district 1t is
said that the buyer is the Pennsylvania Rall-
road. and that the purchases have been mace
to carry out q project TO build direct route
from the Long Island station in Long Island
City to New-England. by way of the proposed
Randalls Island Bridge and Port Morris
It is further said that the most important
property yet be bought to perfect the plan
is that owned by Elias T. Bragaw, The parcel
owned by Mr. Bragaw comprises two hundred
lots in Woodside His lots lie between Middle
burg-ave. and the tracks of the Long Island
Railroad which through Woodside
Even if the plan of the buyer of the long tract
of land is only to secure sufficient land Tor
Strengthening the tracks of the road, the Bra
gaw plot according to report, is the key parcel
to such an undertaking. Mr.. Bragaw was re-
Gently asked if he wished to sell his holdings.
1t is said that the franchise for building a
railroad to connect Long Island with New
England which was obtained by railroad
company about four years ago, has been bought
by the Pennsylvania and that the route OF this
new line will run into Long Island between
Potter and Ditmars aves, then southeast to
ST. Michaers Cemetery, Woodside, and TO East
New-York.
Mr. Bragaw's tract of land is bounded on the
south by a hill which is said to be 12O feet
a bove most of the land along the East River.
Adjoining the railroad the other side are the

The program Of the Republicans

all patriotic Americans. The en-
dorsement of President Roosevelt's
administration will be heartily
joined in by citizens Of every party.
and the appreciation that is to be
expressed for Governor Taft's course
in the Philippines is but an echo of
the praise that has been sounded for
him already in all quarters. That
agitation for change in the tariff will

forcement Of the present schedule.
