WORLD NEVIS AT SEA
Atlantic Liners Will Probably Soon
 Be Issuing Daily Papers.
The First Experiment by Which Pas- sengers Are Given the News of the World Made Aboard the
 Cumarder Lucania."

\ Amongst the advantages of ocean travel has hitherto been reckoned the absence of the morning paper, but the progress of science bids fair to rob the traveller of this boon, and although the announcement of Ocean Daily Papers which has ap- peared in the press, is as yet prena- ture, the day may not be far distant when morning and evening papers will appear regularly on board the big ocean liners.
 Such an innovation would undoubt- edly add to the pleasures of travel, and especially for such as had large busi- ness interests which depend for suc- cess or failure upon the turn of the market. When the time comes that ships at sea can be kept in constant communication with the mainland the manipulators of the stock market will become better patrons of the ocean transportation lines. .srE f
 It is now some two years since the Cunard Steamship company began to try the Marconj system of wireless telegraphy, with view to simplify ing navigation, and minimizing the
 
 risk of accidents. The first expert Raent was made on the Lucania, and the success achieved resulted in the remainder of t@e passenger vessels being fitted likewise. It was not, however, till this year that the. idea of printing and publishing the small paper containing "Marconigrams" was entertained.
 A news sheet on board ship is in it. self no new thing. For many years large steamships have carried small printing press to set up menus, con cert programmes, and on occasion a small newspaper giving the news and gossip on board; but for obvious req sons no news from the outside world could be given.
 For the first experiment in trans hitting telegrams to be printed and published on board, the small star tion of Browhead, in Ireland, was chosen, and Oh March of this year,

Ofdgren, the sweetheart in the case, stood by and applauded. The latter, acting as referee, was compelled to count one of the participants out after she had been knocked down and to award the decision to her van quisher.
 According to information given the police, the encounter took place either last Monday or Tuesday night in a va cant lot at the corner of Oak avenue and Dempster street, very fashion able residence section of the town. In a ring marked. off in typical prize fight style, it is said Miss Smith and Miss Walsh pommeled each other in a scientific, but none the less effective, manner. Both, according to the re- port, were badly bruised and winded by their active exertions.
 Two other young women, Alice Kram and Rose Blakeley, acted as seconds, the former supporting Miss Smith and the latter Miss Walsh. When the Smith girl was put out by g well-directed blow from her opponent, she was as sisted home by her second.
 The two girls have been rivals for the attentions of Oldgren, 1t is said. for over year. They met on the street while one of the pair was in the conn pany of Oldgren. Words followed, and the challenge to the fistic duel ensued.

THE OFFICE OF THE oUNARD BULLETIN.

THE OFFICE OF THE CUNARD BULLETIN the Etruria had the honor of printing the first ocean newspaper containing telegrams from abroad" A few days later the Campania published the second Bulletin, which has since then been continued regularly The Cunard Bulletin, as it is called, is g tiny sheet, folded once, making four pages measuring eight inches deep by six wide. The first page contains the foreign telegrams, and the sec ond page the messages received from other vessels, while the third and fourth pages are given up to focal intelligence" and the company's ad- vertisements.
 The wireless telegraph is in com stant use throughout a voyage. Starting from Sunday Hook, steam CT soon comes in touch with Babylon Station, l.. l., then with Sagaponack Station, at the eastern end of the same island, and later with Nantuck- ct ightship. On nearing Ireland Browhead station is first picked up, then Crookhaven station, county Kerry, and from there to Liverpool, with but short intervals, the ship is in constant touch with Roche's Point, Queenstown, Rosslare and Holyhead. During the run communi- cation is kept up with any vessels fitted with the Marconi apparatus which may be within radius of 100 miles. Sometimes news of the ut most importance is conveyed in this way, as for example, during the lat est voyage of the Etruria, an iceberg being met with on the track of the Campania, warning was signalled to the latter vessel, and the captain decided to go south and thus avoid the danger.
 It must be borne in mind however, that the ocean daily paper is still a thing of the future. The Cunard Bull letin, containing the Marconigrams, appears as yet only once on each voy-. age, the news being received when the vessel is about 80 miles from Browhead, and the newspaper being printed and issued to the passengers shortly before their arrival at Queenstown. It is hoped, however, shortly to arrange for news by wire less telegraph to be transmitted from the Nantucket lightship to vessels approaching New York.
 The latest vessel to be fitted with the Marconi installation is the .new Kaiser Wilhelm IT., of the North Ger man Lloyd. Several of the same com pany's ships, and those of the Amer ican line, will publish newspapers similar to the Cunard Bulletin, and in time an elaborate printing establish ment may have place on each ocean liner plying the Atlantic, and the ed- itor be no small parsonage among the ships officials. In fact the promises of Sig. Marconi have but to be real ized to make this an accomplished fact, and the signor has way of fulfilling the promises he makes to the public.

There is European state which has keen at war over 36 years with out knowing it. This is Liechten- stein. In 1866, at the outbreak of war between Prussia and Austria, the prince of Liechtenstein declared for Austria. When peace was made this principality was forgotten. It had made war and never signed the peace. Consequently, according to all prece- dent, it, is still in state of war; Chicago Post.

Filibdster, freebooter and buccaneer
are words curiously interrelated. The
French and the English sea adventur-
ers once made common cause against
Spanish settlements in the new world,
and all three of these words came in
time to describe the rude sea soldiers
who despoied the Spanish main and
the towns upon the coasts of the Span
ish possessions. Filibuster is said to
be the result of an attempt to make a
French word of freebooter, and the
English borrowed 1t back from the
French because II sounded less frankly
brutal than the English word.
Buccaneer was originally French in
form, and it meant at first one who
hunted the boucan or wild cattle and
hogs of the West Indies; then one Who
made jerked meat of their flesh, and
finally, because This meat was used to
provision the ships of the sea rovers, a
fllibuster or freebooter.

toms ana treatment.
DR.. Smead of tale National Stockman
depl coates undue alarm over the out
break of foot and mouth disease in
New England and considers that some
of the statements afoat about 1t are
liable TO do more harm than the dis
ease itself While 1t is highly conta-
gions and needs quarantining, he says
1t is only in rare instances communica-
Bile to man. AS to the use of milk from
afflicted cows, in most cases the sup
preston of milk secretion follows the
primary fever that takes place soon
after infection, and if the old COW
gives no milk for market what is the
use of soaring milk consumers? How
ever, after stating in advance that he
doesn't think his readers will ever see
a case of it, DR., Smead gives the symp-
toms IS follows:
The place or point of infection is usu-
ally the feet, about the cOronet. There
the virus or germ finds a Judgment
which soon creates an itching, soon a
pustule. The animal ticks it, and the
mouth becomes infected. Busters soon
appear, then droolng, shivering fit
sometimes. Some cough mot unlike
that of measles in people,. A rise of
tempera ture of from l to degrees en-
sues. If a COW, her milk flow nearly
ceases. In fact, her mouth is in such
condition that she rarely can eat solid
food. Water and cruel she will drink
to some extent. The disease will usu
ally run its course In from ten days to
two weeks when in mild form. When
they die, it usually is from the lungs or
glands of the system becoming dis
eased as an effect from which they die
later.
Should any reader ever suspect a
case in his herd isolate the animal
at once, get a bottle of pure crystal
carbolic acid, melt it by setting the
bottle in warm water after removing
the cork When melted, add half as
much glycerin. This will keep it
liquid. Put tablespoonful Of this in
one quart of warm water and sponge
the feet. mouth and legs Of the ailing
one with it. With your hands in this
solution you need have no fear of be-
coming infected yourself at all and as
a safeguard use the same on your other
cattle's feet and legs. If YOU hear your
neighbours cattle have H. keep away
from them unless you are needed to
help treat them. Then change your
outer garments and wash your boots in
the carbolic solution before you go In
your cattle, sheep or hog yards.
