WIRELESS TELEPHONE.

The March number of the Wo-
mans Home Companion contains
general summary of about what
has been accomplished in wireless
telephony by scientists of Europe
and America, mp to the present,
that is publicly known, by one of
the editorial staff of The Scientific
American.
Nathan Stubbleield and o n
Barnard, with their original wire
less telephone apparatus, appear
in the picture. These gentlemen
claim that in the last two years
they have made various advances
along the line, that are not known
to the public, aud that they have
been kept close to the end that
they might enlist capital in their
enterprise before disclosing 4 y G
technical nature of their improve
ments.
Stubble6eld claims that he has
developed wireless telephone APP
paratus of as high a standard as
wireless telegraph apparatus, now
in use, for short distance work,
He claims that he is able to trans
nit messages one fourth of mile
through brick or stone walls, or
any intervening object without
earth connections, and says his in
strument will prove at sight its
adaptability for a great distance
work at economic cost, and also
claims for his new device a fair de-
velopment in point OF secrecy OF
messages, and portable instru-
ments for the various needs that
might be thought of.
The department of electricity al
the Worlds Fair has made Mr.
Stu bblefield tentative allotment
of space for the exhibition of his
system, in actual practice, which
will consist of an installation in
electricity building, thu distant
station being placed at some point
on the grounds.

EASILY STOOD THE TEST.

A dentist received call the other
morning from q couple whom he soon
had reasons to believe were lovers. The
girl had an aching tooth. relates Lon
don Titbits. and as they entered the
young man said:
Nov, darling, the worst is over. Just
take seat and 1t will be out in q min

"Oh, 1 daren't," she gasped.
But 1t won't hurt you at all. you
know"

ut can't. I'd have one pulled in
minute If it ached."
II don't believe It,"
"Well, then, I'll have one pulled out
Just to show you that it doesn't hurt"
He took a seat. ,leant back. and
opened his mouth. and the dentist
seemed to be selecting tooth to seize
with his forceps, when the girl pro-
tested.
"Hold on! The test is sufficient He
has proved his devotion. Move away,
Harry, and I'll have it pulled"
She took the chair, had the tooth
drawn without a groan, and as she
went out she was saying to the young
man:
"Now can believe you when you de-
clare that you would die for me-"
And yet every tooth in his head was
false.

ants in Waiting Upon Per-
sons Of Importance,

Capt. Maud, who recently travelled
through Abyssinia. gives this picture
Of native life: "On our way down the
mountain next day we were invited to
feast by the fitorari OF the district, who
was up there experimenting the build
ing OF a church. Entering his 'tukle,'
We were conducted to q settee covered
with skins. Serving women brought us
water to wash our hands and then flat
baskets. on which were high piles Of
thin fiat breads. like the 'chuppaties' of
the east. The woman cooks brought in
large dishes of stewed meat and, after
tasting each dish to show that It was
not poisoned, they picked out tit-bjts
and presented them to us on 'chup-
paties.' The whole meal was served
without plates. knives or forks 1t is
surprising how easily these necessities
OF our civilization can be dispensed
with. Serving men meantime piled US
with tel the national drink Of Abys-
stnia, which is made from honey. Old
tel Is very heady. but not unpleasant
In TASTE Abyssinians of importance
never travel without their tel women.
These ladies make the tel in camp and
carry 1t on the march. The fitorari-a
courteous and dignified Abyssinian-did
not join us at this meal. but remained
seated on his couch. giving orders for
our entertainment"
Meeting an old chief of q wild tribe
on the frontier, Capt Maud proceeded
to make friends with him, says the Chi
cago Daily News. "One of the boys
placed q necklace round the old mans
neck. The attention called from him
the most sincere thanks. to which he
gave expression by blowing fine spray
from his mouth on those round him.
The circle quickly enlarged ITSELF Our
old friend then made signals to the is
land and soon q raft was crossing the
strip of water toward US. I met its
crew as they landed and. after splitting
on bunch of grass, solemnly presented
1t to them. They took it quite as mat
ter OF course and returned the compli-
ment. I then signified that must be
going and he was evidently much re-
lieved. 1t was only after exerting his
authority to the full that he got man
to paddle me to the mainland. Az we
parted he gave me his best wishes in a
spray of tobacco juice from his mouth
(my tobacco). was so anxious that his
last Impressions should be good that
took 1t without flinching."
AS to the dificulty of getting informa-
ton from the natives Capt Maud says:
II remember once telling Somali. Fara,
who acted as my Interpreter in Mo-
named Hassan's absence. to ask
Boran some simple question about the
route. After ten minutes conversation
he appeared to be coming to an under
standing with the Boran, so l asked what
the man had said. My interpreter i'm
plored me not to interrupt. as he was
just getting to the point. Nearly an
other ten minutes elapsed before my pa
thence broke down and demanded what
he had ELECTED. He says that he is a
very poor man and has only two cows

Whelks as Money.

Dewarra, a currency Of New Britain,
is an instance of how the spells Of the
chase may be turned to account as the
outward and visible sign of wealth.
Dewarra is made by stringing the
shells of dog-whelk upon the ribs of
palm leaves. These strings may be re-
tailed at 80 much a fathom-usually
the price is equivalent to about three
shillings a fathom length-or they may
be made into various articles of per-
sonal adornment to be worn on great
occasions. In New Britain the dewarra
boarded up by rich man is produced
ut his funeral and divided amongst
his heirs in much the same kind of
way as personal property is divided
amongst US.
