 1 bewail his death as 1t were that of a younger brother. The change is heavy now that he is gone and can never re- turn. His friends will miss him and re- gret the silence that must now prevail where he brought life and sunshine. "Lycidas Is dead-dead ere his prime,
 Young Lycidas and hath not left his
 peer,
 Who would not sing for Lycldas He
 knew
 Himself to sing and build the lofty
 rhyme"
 By his death the state has lost one of it's ablest and most determined young men, the bar has lost a gifted and hon orable member, society has lost cour- teous and knightly gentleman, and his associates a most loyal friend.
 May the grass grow green and the sod lie lightly on the grave of my friend. To his young and devoted wife who, amid the long suffering of her dying hus- band and who kept love vigiles by his bed of sickness, I pray the God of the Resurrection to ameliorate her every sor- row and comfort her in her every grief and loneliness.

The staid. classic atmosphere that hovers about old Howard college Is the first in the Birmingham district to be used as a medium for the conveyance of genuine wireless message. It Is there that Alabamians have seen and had proved to them conclusively that such a thing is possible as the sending of message through space without the use of wires or any other metallic substance to carry the electric current.
 The average man can scarcely bring himself to believe that such thing is possible but his skepticism must take flight when he himself is allowed to touch the little key and the click of little bell at the other side of the room is heard. His doubts vanish forever when one of the instruments is removed to another room, all the doors are closed and the message passes through a two- foot brick wall as readily as though the instruments were connected with wires in the most approved fashion.
 Prof Edward Brand deserves the credit for constructing the first wireless tele- graph apparatus that has appeared in
 
 message readily across two rooms and through two brick walls with no onther power than such as is contained in half a dozen small dry cells. If the machine is connected up with a Holly machine which throws a long spark it Is effective up to the distance of from seven-eights of a mile to a mile.
 This is on the same principle that rules telegraphy of the ordinary kind. Sending messages short distances is accomplished With few cells of a battery, but to go long distances the number must be in creased in order to get more power.
 Wireless telegraphy involves no new principles of electricity, but is simply the application of certain well known prop critics of the little understood energy in a new form.
 Professor Brands apparatus is so sim pie that child could almost understand 1t. Of course it Is composed of two dis tinct parts-the sender and the receiver The sender Is nothing more than an or- dinary spark machine such as everyone IS familiar with who has paid the least attention to the subject of electricity. It has little key attached, similar to the ordinary telegraph key with which the sparks can be produced at such inter- vals and of such length as desired.

Tribute to a Man Whose Life Was a
 Noble Example.

At Gadsden Friday eve last a man died. Take him for all in all. I shall not look upon his like again."
 He was entering upon the meridian of life. I knew him well, perhaps more thoroughly and intimately than any man now living, since he was seven years old. We were associated in business for more than ten Years. l never knew him to be ungenerous or be guilty of dis honest act. His temperament was sam guine, his disposition gentle and affec- tionate He had his faults as all human kind have, but these were venial they were sins, if sin at all, of the flesh and not of the soul.
 Like the lark, rising above the murky fens and darkness on the earth, wings her flight to meet the roseate hues of the crimson moon, wabbling her sweetest and gayest carols inspiring all nature with her song. not worrying because of the fogs and mists below, but drinking in the sweet and collaborating draughts of the early morn; so it was with my friend; "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" never depressed or overcame him; he took no reverses to heart. but amid the crucial tests that sometimes DeSeL d lDlly I1dnIlOOu Ht oH'lA'i'N self by his faith in God, and fidelity to the true and manly. He accepted the re- suits of his own efforts and of the affairs of life with such fascinating cheerful- ness that it charmed all associating with him, and eliminated from this life many of its poignant sorrows and bit- terest griefs.
 With his friend he would sympathze, with his enemy he would forgive and for get; always hopeful of the future, he was buoyant and brave under all re- verses

What "shoddy" Is.

From the New York Commercial.
 'I would like you to tell me just what is meant by the term 'shoddy' as applied to cloth used in clothing" said young man who was looking for clothing in the store of a well informed clothier in Utica the other day. "I have heard of 'shoddy' all my life and I do not just understand exactly what is meant by it.
 ''Well," replied the clothier, " "'shoddy' Is used in the construction or many fab ries which go into the manufacture of clothing for both men and women. It is so skilfully combined in recent years that 1t is not possible for any but an ex- pert to detect 1t until the goods are worn to some extent 'Shoddy' clothes are made from cheap yarns spun over cot ton warp. These yarns are spun from old woolen rags chopped into waste, then carded and s2un into threads of various sizes and strength. The clo,-. is soft, nicely finished and attractive in appear ance. and comparatively free from inn perfections The goods cost the clothier from 15 to 30 cents a yard and larger yardage is consumed than of any other kind of goods manufactured for mems wear.
 For the past few years there has not been as much manipulation of fabrics as formerly, owing to the reasonableness of the prices for wool but quite recently clothing wools have advanced to such a level that manufacturers have been forced to resort to the use of substitutes in order to produce a cloth that will meet the popular demand. One of the advantages of the shoddy Is that it can be woven into patterns similar to those of the most expensive woolens, which is not always true with respect to pure cotton yarn, which being hard and wiry does not lend itself to soft effects"

Peffer's whIskers, Politics and Work.

From the Springfield (fass) Republican.
 The southern paper that says former
 Senator Peffer of Kansas has trimmed
 his beard and declared for Roosevelt"
 is misinformed so far as the beard is
 concerned. There has been no cur tailment in its glory, for 1t still reaches the waist line. MT Peffer may be seen almost any week day in the senate reading room of the Congressional library in Washington hard at work over Congressional Records. He is very usefully employed making an ex- haustive index by subjects of the de- bates of congress since the beginning of the government Nothing like it has ever been done. MT. Peffer saw the need of an index when in the senate, and after his retirement he was author ized to begin the work. Tn politics the former Kansas popunst returned to the republican party over four years ago.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
 TRIED AT EAST LAKE
BY c. M. STANLEY.

The receiver consists primarily of two sheets of zinc about foot square, small glass tube containing some nickle and silver filings and a small ordinary electric bell such as can be found In a thousand Birmingham homes. It seems strange that some one did not hit upon the combination years ago and solve the mystery of wireless telegraphy. The two sheets of zinc are set upright and are the real receivers of the either vibrations produced by the sparks of the sender In the large instruments used for send f ing messages long distances 8 vertical wire. or in fact, many vertical wires are substituted for the zinc wings of the smaller apparatus. vertical wire 250 feet high is sufficient to receive a mes sage sent from distance of a thousand miles.
 When the spark Is produced by the sender certain vibrations are set up in the ether which spread in every direc- ton in the same manner as the shot of a pistol sets up vibrations of the air which strike the tympanum of the ear and produce sound. Since these vibrations caused from the spark spread in every direction from the sender, some of them reach the zinc plates of the receiver. A very slight current Is thus set up in the wires running from the plates to the lt- tie glass tube of filings which causes the particles in the tube to draw together and complete a circuit. The completed circuit causes the small hammer of the bell to strike and when the current Is thus broken the recoil of the little hammer strikes the tube gently and jars the filings apart and the receiver Is ready to record the next dot or dash as the case may be.
 Ii is very simple and yet very remark able. When a man presses the little key and hears the bell tap at the other side of the roo1a it seems wonderful. but to take the receiver out into an entirely different room, press the key again and then to have a trusted friend return and tell you how many times you have press ed it is still more wonderful.
 When it Is remembered that the little instrument of Professor Brand will re- cord a message at the distance of a mile with no other power than the ordinary galvanic machine 1t Is not surprising that the powerful spark machines devised for the purpose will carry messages for hun dreds of miles.
 The distance message can be sent depends entirely on the size of the spark just as the distance at which shot can be heard by the ear depends on the size of the gun which fired 1t.

Then, while the crowd haunted the jettles of Glenelg Semaphore, Largs. and even Henley Beach, he sneaked down to out-of-the- way sleepy Brighton, where a launch waited. He made the passage across in the stuffy little launch cabin and declined to come out until the crowd on deck of the Mongolia had finished kissing It's de- parting friends and gone ashore. At the last moment a terrified prophet fled up the Mongolias gangway as if the devil was behind him with a stlnkpot, and all most broke his neck getting Into the cabin out of sight It didn't look at all like the departure of a prophet.
