A Wood Engrayer.

1t is admitted by authorities that
the greatest achievement in wood
engraving has been reached America,
since our artists have carried 1t to
degree of perfection unparalleled any
where else in the world. The only wo-
man in America who practices the
art is Miss Caroline A. Powell, OF Bos-
ton. Her work is remarkable for its
hrilliancy of effect in pure black and
white. requiring the most delicate skill
in it's manual execution and feeling
and invention with respect to the cor
rect Interpretation of values and tex
lures of very high order. The
method being a relief process, the va
rying values are obtained by the most
delicate cutting of lines, dots and mi
mute picks. Blacks are obtained by
leaving the wood untouched. and pure
white by cutting the wood entirely

Dublin, Ireland, was a pupil of Tim

TREE TELEGRAPHY TAUGHT IN THE ARMY

Down at Camp Atascadero when

nifty for the most interesting expert

The method employed by the signal
corps was to drive nail into the liv-
ing part OF "A tree and n wire from this

the other terminal of the instrument,
a signal wire is laid loosely along the
ground to the station where it is at

The gratifying results obtained from

of Major Squier who gave the matter
a great deal of thought. 1t then oc-
Cured to him that trees might be
used for the purpose of wireless tele-
graphy.
There is wireless telegraph sta
ton at Fort Mason, also one on Yerba
Buena, a small island in the bay of
San Francisco. At both stations there
are some eucalyptus trees. One OF
the trees at Fort Mason was selected
to demonstrate the practicability OF
the majors idea. An aerial wire was

MODERN CREEKS BELIEFS.

Some of the superstitions Of the old mythological religion still prevail among the peasant classes in Greece said Dr. George Horton, in the Wash ington Post. Nor are the educated classes without such beliefs. such as that harm ensues from looking al the moon over the right shoulder, the belief in the three fates. the evil eye. the vam- pires and the nereids is general.

SKATING.
YOUNG WOOD THE WIN.
 NLR IN TWO EVENTS

Saranac Lake, \. T., Feb 2-Morris Wood, the national amateur speed skating champion of the United States won both the half and the three mile skating races here yesterday afternoon The crowds that filled all the hotels on the second day of the carnival, lined the track and course of the float parade three deep. The attendance was the largest ever at a carnival here.
 In the first race, the half-mile, all the latest skaters in the east, both American and Canadian, competed. For the first hundred yards Wood was pocketed in the center of the bunch: but then he saw an opening, darted through and led the pack for the re- mainder of the distance. The ease with which, by long. swinging stroke he kept Bellefenile, of Winnipeg, d goodly yard behind even to the finish made it apparent that he did not ex- tend himself.
 F. Logan. of St John, New Bruns- wick, and r. J. Carney, of the New York Athletic club, pushed the cham pion hard in the three-mile. From the crack of the pistol until within one hundred yards of the finish scarcely q yard separated the three. but in the final squirt, Logan and Carney were comparatively all in," whereas Wood sprinted as though in hundred-yard dash and won by d rod.
 After the events, Wood declined to skate Il series of races against Fred Robson. of Toronto, as planned by the Canadian's admirers. All expenses from the time he left New York and returned and a handsome trophy, if he won, were offered the champion; but he t1atly refused to meet the Canadian, who had made such havoc at the Pro vince of Ontario championships, held last week at Montreal. Wood explain ed his refusal by adding that Robson | and myself are entered ill the world speed skating championships at Mon- treal.

YACHTING.
SIR THOMAS STILL
 LONGING FOR THAT CUP

Boston, Feb "A special Glasgow cable last night states that Sir Ihom- as Lipton is planning features for the next champion against the America's cup that will make it the most inter- csting attempt in yachting history.
 Lipton's ambition to transfer the cup to the other side is as strong as ever, and he is planning to build three yachts, all of them qualified for cup racing.
 He will sail them for season and then pick the best one for an attack on the America's cup. He already has one set of plans complete from Linton Hope for d racer of the most extreme and exaggerated type, and another set from Alfred Milne. Besides this he has been in communication with George Barnett, successor to the late George l.. Watson, to see what he can promlse on more conservative lines. How his plans will work out is diff ficult to forecast. It is probable that the end of this season will sec Sir Thomas in possession of at least two and possibly three clippers. all built for himself and at his own expense. with the idea of choosing cup racer for the season of 1906.
 Americans will therefore probably see two radical departures from ordin- ary cup racers, as Designer Hope is one of the most radical naval archi- tccts in the world, leaning toward Il boat of the extreme scow type, like smaller class boats in America.
 Giving ten months notice from May or June next means that the match can be sailed in late April or carly May,

BEFORE THE OLD MAINE LAW
Anecdote Is Told of a Struggle for Prohibition in the Pine
 Tree State.

N. F. Woodbury, the Maine repre- sentative of the prohibition national committee, was talking about the political fights for total abstinence that have from time to time stirred up his state. 'In !he past" said Mir. Woodbury, 'before Maine had been won over to prohibition, there used to be village-a bleak, gray village on the coast--where the contests over the liquor question were always hot. In each party would try to do outdo the other If one side paraded 100 strong the other side paraded 200 strong. If one side held mass meeting and em- ployed band, the other side would hold mass meeting with band and lunch as well. There was one liquor saloon in the village and week be- fore a certain election placard as big as the entire front of the house was raised before it. This enormous plac- ard said in huge rel letters: If the prohibition law passes this house will be closed The saloon. you see. was cozy and inviting to such as liked a glass of beer, and the purpose of the placard was to put sorrow and fear into the breasts of drinking men. to stir them up to win votes, lest their pleasant meeting place be taken from them. That was the idea of the plac- ard, and it was d good idea. But in the dead of the night certain odd noises were heard, and the next morning the enormous placard covered the front of the village nnnrhnrIs

THE PUGILISTS.
THIS WAS A
 FUNNY FIGHT
Jack O'Brien Wanted to Quit Saying he Was Foul. ed But Then He Won From Willie.

Philadelphia, Feb 2.-Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and John Willie of Chi cago had most sensational six-round fight here last night before the Nation al Athletic club.
 At the end of the fourth round O'Brien claimed he had been fouled and refused to continue. He called Tor a doctor, but the referee would not call the fight off.
 After several minutes physician was found who announced that Jack was able to continue, and he came up for the fifth.
 After fighting few moments O'Brien again claimed he was fouled, but the referee again refused to allow it. Then he went at Willie good and hard, and easily outpointed him despite his al- legged incapacity from the fouls.
 The first three rounds were so tame that the crowd was in an uproar, yell ing ''Fake.' and threatening a riot. There had been innumerable counter. felt tickets sold, and when the man. agement discovered 1t many arrests were made.
 Those with counterfeit tickets were the main cause of the riotous demon stration after the third round, probably because they had had to pay again for a good ticket before r1ey could get in and then see what they thought was a fake fight.
 But in the fourth the men got to- gether and put up a really hard exhibi- ton. Toward the close, as O'Brien dncked a right swing for the jaw, Wik lie suddenly shifted the direction of the blow and it caught him low in the stomach.
 He was on his knees when the bell rang and called for doctor.
 After the battle it was the unani- nous verdict that O'Bren had the bet ter of the go.

L.AVIGNE IN PARIS.

Kid Lavigne, the former champion lightweight, is running 2 successful boxing school in Paris. Lavigne has been taking excellent care of himself within the last year and recently told a friend who has arrived in this coun. try that he is anxious to return to America and fight either Britt or Cans for his old title. When Lavigne was fit there was no better pugilist in this country. He was scientific, a wonder. full puncher and one of the pluckiest men that ever got into the ring. If he had not followed ill the footsteps of other fighters who did not have sense enough to look out for their physical condition. he would to-day probably
 have been the lightweight champion.

LAWSON MAY TRY AGAIN.

l..AN St.> h-A lh +hb.h
 There has beeu some talk of Thom- as W. Lawson entering the yachting fleet again. and racing boat across the ocean for the German emperor's cup. It is possible that he will buy the Jubilee. which was built by Gen eral Charles J. Paine for the defense of the cup in 1893. and fit her out for the long contest. The Jubilee is a lin keel boat fitted with centerboard and she showeS up well in her races against the Vigilant. She has been raced very little since the year she was built. only having been in commission for one season since then. Some yachtsmen think that the Jubilee would give good account of herself n such contest. MT Lawson is q member of the Boston Yacht club and can enter his boat through that organ iZation.
