without foundation How they start.
ed is mystery. Mr.. Cramer tainted
in his Office chair, and the collapse
was the direct result of too steady
application to work.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
British Progress of the New Art Dur.
ing the First Three Months Of
the Present Year.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. = The
working of wireless telegraphy dur
ing the first three months of the cur.
rent year is the subject Of recent
British Parliamentary paper. AS is
well understood, the principal use of
wireless telegraphy. in fact, the only
use, is for transmitting messages be.
tween ships and the shore, but it is
not generally understood how few mes.
sages go out in proportion to those
that come. The report shows that
only Ill messages were submitted by
the public for transmission to ships
while 1,GG5 were received from ships
at sea. or the former lot 81 failed tc
be delivered, leaving only 80 received
by the persons for whom they were in
tended, little less than 5h per cent
of the number transmitted from the
ships.

One reason for this disparity Is
probably the fact that the public has
not yet accepted wireless telegraphy
as an eiatseblsdhom? wh crTpenuse. p
as an established public utility. The
man at home rarely thinks of sending
message out to sea, except in case
OF stress, while those on the ship have
the apparatus always before them,
and accept the new system as a thing
for experiments. The British Post.
Office received about s275 for outgoing
messages and about 1925 for its share
of ingoing messages. The Marconi
company received about s237 for the
messages sent from land, and, while
the statement is not made how much
was received for the messages sent
from ships, it is probably about at the
rate of $4,000 year for all messages,
which is hardly enough to warrant a
continuance of the business, and in or.
der to make wireless telegraphy profit
able some means will have to be hit
upon for substantially increasing the
messages.

They Are Not So Early.

Some time in the latter part of April

ahead OF Kennewibk. They even re-
parten some dollhouse berries on the
18th of April, the day our outdoor
grown berries were first brought in,
blaming that they were samples Of
what was being done by the early sea-
son. Today it is different story. G.
E. Hanson received letter today from
:. friend over there from whom he had
been expecting some flowers. The
letter stated that the flowers were not
ready yet OH account of the Geld

toes had been killed and ferns frozen
so hard by recent frosts they were all
black. KennewIck is still boss Oh the
early question. We have had roses
and other flowers in bloom in our
gardens for the last three weeks.
