WIRELESS TFLFGRAPHY.

Hitherto the use Of wireless telegraph instru-
rnents on ships has been limited to reporting
the arrival OF the latter while yet too distant to
be seen, ard the exchange OF commercial mes
sages with other vessels and with the shore. A
new application of the system was made the
other night Oh the Sound by the steamer Plym-
outh. She was eastbound, and had approached
Point Judith, where she was to shape her course
afresh Owing TO the presence OF fog, she had
difficulty in getting her bearings at that critical
stage OF her trip. On the point is a wireless
telegraph station. The Plymouth has recently
Installed the necessary apparatus for communi-
eating with Il. On this occasion she asked for
information from an observer on shore. How
much difference was the question, sis there
between the direction from which our whistle
''seems 10 come and the noise OF the whistiing
'su9v off the lShthousef' None" was the
reply. Though the officer in command of the
steamer could not himself locate the buoy at
that moment, the reply told him where he was.
and he swung around into Narragansett Bay
accordingly.
Not only on Long Island Sound, but elsewhere
along the coast. the same methods can be intro
duced for the same purpose. theoretically the
fog signals on islands and headlands are sup
posed to tell the mariner when he rs danger
ously near the coast at night, If the weather Is
too thick 10 allow good visual observations. As
llshed in such places, additional security will
be afforded. II will not be sufficient, OF course.
for the navigator Of a steamer merely TO re-
ceive Hertz wave signals from one OF these
points Alone they would merely tell him that
he was within the range Of n certain stations
apparatus. but they would not tell him his direc-
ton. IT, however. lie is near enough for his
own whistle 10 be heard, and any one on duty
ashore can say from what quarter the sound
proceeds, the Plymouth's plan can be employed
advantageOusly. II two vessels, coming from
opposite directions when fog prevails or snow
IS falling. exchange wireless signals, the latter
would not avert a collision. if they are at con-
siderable distance from land. On the other
hand. II the captains know Of their proximity
TO a given point Of reference, which is station
airy (having obtained signals from shore within
few minutes). it should be possible TO steer
clear Of each others vessel.
One OF the most dangerous places along the
New-England Coast is the Race at the eastern
end OF Long Island Sound. When about t. go

and Gull islands, and from these in the densest

FAVORITE JEWELS.

Dealers in gems say that fine emeralds are
now moro costly than diamonds even II the
diamonds are pure white and Of dazzling lustre
They say. further. that few OF the jewels which
are always thought OF when that fine mouth
filling word Golconda is mentioned come from
India in this new century. The GOlcOnda mines
have been exhausted. and the Brazilian treas
ures Of coruscations. glints and facets yield in
these days the scanticst of rewards TO the dig
gers. The famous blue clay Of South Africa IS
still prolific OF the pure crystals Of carbon,
which are SO cut by the experts in Amsterdam
and New-Amstcrdam as TO display their ra-
dance with such CLEANS and flashes that the
feminine collector Of fine stones must feel a re-
sponsive thrill when she gazes upon these little
bits OF twinkling stars.
1t is generally believed that the great COM
bination which controls the only richly pro-
ductve diamond mines now worked upon the
globe has n big store OF ornaments In reserve.
which might smash 10 flinders quotations for
these decorations in every glittering capital In
the world, We're this wonderful store let loose
with lavish hand for n furious scramble Of ex-
cited purchasers. But il is expected that the
mine owners will adhere to their judicous pol
ICY Of the past. and will continue 10 hold prices
at highly profitable figures for the producers by
refusing TO dispose Of their uncut diamonds too
hastily and too profusely. long deep drop
in diamond schedules might demoralize the
worlds markets for such gauds for many q
year. At present not the slightest danger that
the South African supply viii run out for gen.
erations or even for centuries is prOphesied by
experts.
The amazing rise in the prices for emeralds
brings TO mind the stories OF some OF the dongs
OF Pizarro's freebooters when they took pos
session Of the land Of the Incas. In Peru ct
the time Of tho Spanish invasion and conquest
were wonderful specimens Of superb emerads-
none more valuable TO be found in the world.
II is said that the finest OF these gems were OF
such size that Pizarro's untutored buccaneers
could not believe them TO be genuine These
rude fellows had got somewhere the notion that
Jewels Of the first water would resist the hard
est blows without injury. So these sons OF
Satan put the biggest emeralds on anvils and
smote them sturdily with sledgehammers OF
course, cleavage and absolute ruin TO many Of
the green quintessenccs OF light inevitably fol
lowed.
So the old traditions run, as recounted by
Prescott Here's an interesting question for
speculation: Would emeralds cost so much more.

days had Pizarro been hopelessly defeated in

CHURCHES ON STORlfY SUNDAYs.

Brooklyn clergyman has given considerabl
time TO 4 shrewd study Of the weather records.
and is inclined TO think that the reports of the
falling off in church attendance for the last
three years in comparison with the figures of
earlier periods, must be attributed in large
measure TO the weather. He says that in the
winter OF 1903'04 at least four-ffths of the
Sundays were inclement; that in the winter Of
19o2-o3 one-half Of the first days in the pass
ing weeks were stormy, and that in the season
of 1901-'02 every Sunday was gloomy. with rain
or snow or bad weather OF one kind or an 9ther.
Consolatory thoughts must food the minds OF
exhorters who have been appealing TO empty
pcws season after season. Eloquent occurants
Of pulpits need not fear the chilling atmos-
phere OF small audiences, provided the sun Is
on their side.

4 "DAGO'S" BANANAS.

A ten-year-old boy who answers to the fine
old Hibernian name of James Reilly assured
Justice Olmsted yesterday in the Children's
Court that in his opinion there was nothing
wrong about 'swiping bananas from Dago."
James apologized for the scholastic deficiency
implied in the confession that he is still in the
second reader by saying that he had been sick
for two years, and it may be fair to attribute
his inferior moral standard also to his enforced
absence from school during that considerable
period. Whether or not his protracted illness
has kept him at home we are unable TO say, but
If he has been permitted to enjoy the liberty OF
the streets he has doubtless witnessed many
incidents tending TO confirm his suppOsition that
the stock in trade Of an Italian vender is legiti
mate booty. well as 10 Justify his further dec
laration 10 the court that "a Teller could swipe
bananas often a Dago even II he WIZ nearly
dead"
II is interesting TO conjecture how many uni
formed guardians OF life and property James
Reilly has observed in the act Of despoiling an
Italians cart, and whether the policeman who
took him TO court has unconsciously been one

A LIBEL on THE CZAR.

There is menace Of another Kishinen. Inc

are at work again. Proclamations are Oelhs
circulated among the ignorant ana degraueu
Russians Of those southern provinces where the
Jews are most helpleSsly herded- calling Tor an
other massacre. The hideous affair at Nlshiheh
IS referred TO as a glorious time" Race preju-
dice and religious bigotry and all the evil lasts
of fallen and depraved humanity are invoked
70 repeat it. There is little doubt that on the
Russian Easter Day the common sanitation
among drunken ruffans will be, Brother
Christ is risen Let us kill the Jews! worst
Of ALL because most potent to the subjects or
the Little Father" is the statement, Inc
Gar is with us; the Car desires the destruc-
ton OF the Jews"
That statement Is of course, an abomlnabie
Ie 1t is a gross libel upon an enlightened ana
humane monarch. But it was put forth with
deadly effect at Kishineff last year. 1t is no.
torious that the false cry, The Gar desires
itr' was above all others potent in melting the
mob to rapine and to murder There is danger
that il will be so again. We need not stop TO
question whether the cry is raised ignoranty
or with advised malice The fact Is that 1t is
raised. The Russian mob are told that the sover-
eIgn, who is at once their political autocrat and
in their mind the direct vicegerent OF God upon
earth desires them TO rise against the Jews, TO
leave no Jewish man alive ana no jewish
woman unviolated. The effect Of such an ap-
peal TO such a people is grewsOmey TO be
imagined. 1t was realized at Kishineff.
Ii is TO be assumed that the Car will be,

attempt TO couple his name with the Jew-bait-
Ing and TO make him responsible for unspeak-
able infamies. In such case he will surely be
able to refute the lie and to avert its evil effect
1t must be within his power TO make known,
In some way, TO his people his real wishes and
will in the matter. II he does so, If he lets the
Russian people know in unmistakable terms
that II is his will that the Jews shall be pro-
tected, we cannot doubt that his command will
prevail We cannot believe either that Nicholas
IL will carelessly let this false representation
OF himself remain uncontradcted or that his
subjects, and especially his soldiers. Will act
contrary TO his desire when he makes It known
TO them.

The last few days have done much 10 disclose
the Japanese plan OF campaign which hitherto
has been much enveloped in mystery. The
HilIado is not merely advancing through Corea.
It is occupying and fortifying Corea- It began
by landing simultaneously at Chinnampo and
Won-San. Then It established line of fortfhca-
tions across the peninsula, from the one place
to the other-the narrowest part OF rhe PENN

fortress. With that line from sea TO sea as a
base the advance has since been made I'D the

apparently hope to make their third line. COM

a base from which to advance into Manchuria.
Already they reported TO have reached WI

with serious opposition, fact which seems TO

will attempt no stand against them south of the
