IS MESSAGES oyER-1 WIRE.
New Process Invented by Prof. Ii
chael Pupin May Revolutionixe
the Present Systems.

To telegraph 16 messages simultane-
ously over a single wire has now been
made possible through an invention OF
DR.. Michael Ilvorsky Pupin, professor
Of electro-mechanics in Columbia uni
versity. When asked if there could be
any doubt as to the commercial prac-
ticability OF his device, Dr. Pupin re-
piled:
Absolutely none whatever"
The Pupin system differs chiefly from
the multiplex systems now in use in
that 1t operates with an alternating in
stead of direct current 1t might be
described as a system of tuning. DR..
Pupin devised his multfplex machine
in the laboratory of Columbia uni
versity and there is a model of it now
on view in the lecture room of Have
meyer hall. Attached to the generator
are devices for giving out alternating
currents OF various frequency. Instead
OF the current passing directly along
the wire, as in the case with the ordi-
nary telegraph system, these devices
cause it to proceed in fluctuations or
waves. II Is circuits are to be operat-
ed, the machine will make it possible
for 16 currents, each vibrating In
waves of distinctive lengths, to pass
along the wire at once, and when they
reach their destination they will find
waiting for them Is receivers each
tuned to respond to one set Of vibra-
tons and no other.

OF Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, July s-Special-Chas. Y.
Peterson, Justice of the Peace for Oconto
Co., has delivered a Judgment that is of IN
terest to the whole United States. Put
briefly, that judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney
Pills are the best Kidney medicine on the
market to-day"
And Mr. Peterson gives his reason for
this judgment. He says: Last. winter I
had an aching pain in my back which
troubled me very much. In the morning
l could hardly straighten my back! did
not know what it was but an advertisement
led me to try Dodd's Kidney. Pills. After
taking one box can only say they have done
more for me than expected as feel as well
now as ever did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first symp-
toms of Kidney disease. If not cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills it may develop into
Bright's Disease, Diabetes. Rheumatism or
some of the other deadly forms of Kidney
Disease

THE KISSING HABIT.

Ethnologists tell US that among the
primitive races kissing was unknown
The Lapps and Maoris to-day simply
rub noses. Even the average native
of Japan still knows nothing about
kissing.
The French and the Germans are
the great kissing races. The learned
Erasmus, who visited England in Tu:
dod times, says that the "mucco.
cutaneous investment was universal
and that everybody kissed, so that he
felt that he was being kissed tc
death" while there.
But science is now making a severe
war on this too prevalent habit. The
New York Medical Journal says that
it is the efficient cause of much insidt
Gus bacterial infection. Even the EN-
peror of Germany has been forced to
modify the osculatory habit.-Bostou

Planting in Blocks.

1t is not advisable to plant any one
variety of apples, pears or plums in
blocks, even Of a hundred, unless
there are other varieties on all sides
OF the block. Within comparatively
recent years it has been discovered
that many of our varieties of the
above mentioned fruit are largely in
fertile to their own pollen, some more
so than others. This kind of plant
ing has caused many a good orchard
to be infertile, without the owner even
suspecting the true cause.
1t was first found that plums re-
CURED to be oss-pollenized to in
sure a harvest. Then some one dis
covered that the Keifer pear was a
very uncertain quantity without some
other varieties near it. The investi-
cation was continued, with the result
that several other varieties of pears
were found to be in need of cross
fertilization. At last the scientists
made some elaborate experiments to
determine to what extent the apple
came under the same laws as to pol
lination. To the surprise of almost
every one it was proved that very few
Of our varieties of apples do as well
fertilized by their own pollen as by
the pollen of another variety, and
some of the varieties are found to be
almost sterile when fertilized by the
pollen of that variety. 1t is, there
fore, best to SO set out apple, plum
and pear trees that the pollen of one
variety may be used on another va
riety. This will greatly increase the
probability of a crop.

Feed for Chicks

1t must be remembered that the
little chick has absolutely no need
for food for the first twenty-four to
forty-eight hours after coming out of
the shell. Nature has arranged a food
for it, and this is already in process
of being digested. So the fear that
the little thing will die for lack of
nourishment is unfounded. The little
piece of sharp bone on the beak at
this time can be left on, as it will
fall off soon enough for the good of
the chick. If it be picked off and the
chick fed within a few hours after
birth, so much the worse for the
chick. When the chicken gets the
scale Off it's beak ard really wants
food, it will show it with plainness.
It will begin to peck at everything
around. The first food given should
be soft food, as that would be the food
that would naturally come 10 the
chick in a state of nature. 1t has no
grit in its crop at this time and con-
seQuently cannot readily use things
that have to be ground. In its wild
state it would have picked up small
bugs and worms. Feed it soft food.
One of the best that can be given con-
sists of stale bread dipped In milk.
This should not be wet so much that
it will not crumble. Bread newly
baked and that is soft and mushy can
hardly be recommended for chicks at
this age. A little later ground grain
of almost any kind may be mixed with
milk and feed. One way to improve
this is to permit it to soak in the
milk for some hours before using.
This renders it soft. Sweet milk is best
to give at this period, while sour milk
and curG may be used later.

Cherry Growing In Iowa

Iowa is making steady progress as
fruit growing state The census of
1890 reported 3,140,5S8 apple trees
growing within her borders. In 1900
the number had reached G,8G9,5 In
1895 there were 707,506 plum trees in
the state; in 1900, 1,302,217 In cherry
trees the increase is even more strik-
ing, there being 100000 trees in 1890
against 100000 in 1900. While the
climate of the northern part of the
state is no doubt too severe for suc-
cessful cherry growing with any ex.
cept the hardest varieties, this de-
licious fruit can easily be grown in the
central and southern parts. The tree
is handsome and ornamental and is
appropriate for lawn and garden.

BEAUTIFY THE EARTH.

The zeal for gardening that of late
years has animated urban breasts
has been looked upon by many as a
fad, but it has been proved to have
deeper roots than belong to the genus
fad and to have been more steady and
more sturdy in its growth. 1t is more
than a fad to the business man who
may be seen emerging from seed
store" with his arms filled with bare,
graceless sticks that are to bear June
roses, it is more to the school boy who
thinks a plant in the ground is worth
two in the botany, and it is infinitely
more to the Slum inhabitant to whom
a chance for a richer life has come
in the form of garden opportunities.
Down with the billboards and up with
the gardens is to be the cry in vacant
lots. 1t is to be hoped that the time
is not far distant when all the bare
places, the unsightly rubbish heaps,
and the bleak schoolyards may be
transformed into beauty spots.-Chi-

THEY KEPT THE FAITH.

There have been published in The
Weekly Inter ocean a hundred OF
more letters from men who cast theil
first votes for Fremont or Lincoln
Most of the first voters for Lincoln
served in the Union army, and a ma
jortiy of them became home-makers
in the newer West after the war. AL
of them are telling stories of the kind
that illuminate history.
For example, one man, severely
wounded at Cold Harbor in 1864, and
who saw in Gen. Mcclellan his ideal
soldier, went to the polls on crutches
and voted-for Abraham Lincoln, be-
cause he thought Lincoln's platform
was right and McClelIan's wrong.
Another man, who with ten thou
oner at Florence, Ala, voted black
bean for Lincoln. The Confederate
authorities, desiring to ascertain the
sentiment of the Union prisoners, es-
tablished polling place, and decreed
the prisoners should vote white or
black beans-white beans for McClel-
Ian and black beans for Lincoln. The
emanciated and respondent men
marched up to the polls and voted
black beans for Lincoln, many of
them saying: "All hell cannot make
us vote white beans
In other cases first votes for Lin
coin were cast in rebel stockades; in
others again, on the eve of battle or
on long marches or after battles. Of
those who voted for Lincoln in 1860
some came from the old Whig party,
some from the Democratic, and not
few from the Free Soil party.
Letters have been received from
men who voted for Harrison in 1910,
Clay in 1914, John p Hale in 1852,
Fremont in 1856 and Lincoln in 1860.
The spirit that runs through all
these letters is that of devotion to
principle, pride in leadership like that
of Lincoln and exultation in having
started right in the career of citizen
ship.
The story of a man who rode fifty
miles to vote for Lincoln, or who
walked ten miles to vote for Grant, or
who, wounded, was carried to the polls
a ticket for Lincoln in his
hand, may seem eXtravagant in this
day, but they have the pathos of hero
ism, and they show what stuff the
fighting American of forty and forty
four years ago had in him.
When men come forward by the
score TO testify to their pride in the
fact that they voted for Lincoln in
troublous times, there is afforded to
the younger and Indifferent voters of
this later day lesson in political con-
science and political conviction The
first voters for Lincoln were men who
stood fast when danger threatened,
who fought and won through their
devotion to principle, and who to-day
rejoice in the memory of duty done
and faith kept.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE TERROR OF POVERTY.

Talk as we may about sentimental
sorrows, there are few miseries so
real and terrible as existence without
the actual necessaries of life, the food,
the shelter, the warmth and the COM
fort which not only make it enjoyable,
but even possible. The banking houses
which have recently refused to en-
pIoy married men whose incomes are
less than 81 1000 a year are in the right
of it, and are merely practicing the
duty of self-protection. Love is the
strongest passion known to humanity
and the man who has always stood up
right may perhaps lean under the
weight of another dearer than him
self
81 had not loved thee. dear, SO much,
Loved l not honor more
is a beautiful sentiment, and one well
worthy to be lived up to, but as love
makes heroes Of towards, so also it
sometimes makes towards of heroes

worse than death, and among these
are privation and suffering for those
for whose good we would gladly lay
down our lives. GA wife and children

THE EVIL OF WORRY.

Doubtless there has been more or
less worry since Adam hid in the
bushes, but it is a curious physio1ogi-
cal-indeed, it may be a psychological
fact that real worry, the worry that
has a definite cause, is not so wear
ing as the imaginary worries that we
persist in taking to bed with us. We
cannot rest and be busy at the same
time, and it is not hard to guess what
will happen to the brain that insists
on fretting and worrying when it
should be enjoying the serenity of re-
pose. There are doctors who can ex-
anime your eyes and tell you whether
you have kidney disease, but how
much better it would be If some
specialist could arise who can locate
worry and pluck it out. as it were, by
the roots. 1t is baleful source OF
poison at best, and at its worst, it is
ruinous. Happy the man who is able
to take the measure of his worries
and troubles and value them for what
they are! Happy, thrice happy, is
the man who can present to their at
tacks the impenetrable armor of Sc
renity! His years shall be long and
full of charity. His head shall be in
the sunshine, and there shall be no
shadow about his feet. Old men will
follow him, and little children shall
be his companions.-Atlan Constitu-
