from landward without repetition Of
the hard fighting that took place at
Port Arthur. The natural disposition
Of the hills at the rear Of Vladivostok
has made It possible to interpose many
powerful schemes OF defense against
the advance Of an enemy and the Rus
sian engineers have been pu2sling their
brains for forty years to make ap-
proach from the rear practically impos-
sibie There Is nothing, however, to
prevent the Japanese from completely
investing the place. once Enclosed
within the circle formed by the Japa-
nese fleet and the land forces, there
would be nothing to expect from out
side The Russians have no means OF
assembling or maintaining an army In
that vicinity sufficient to suggest any
prospect of relief, as was the case for
awhile at Port Arthur. II would only
be a simple question OF endurance.
II Is undoubtedly fact that Vladt-
vostok is even better provided to sus-
tain long blockade than was Port Ar

least four miles IN length and a mile in
width the largest ships may ride safely
at anchor free from the menace Of at

most exclusively To storehouses, mill

ON the extreme north Of the harbor are
the Official buildings and the private

excluding the military. There are at
least 5000 Chinese and Koreans In the

and he was hidden godspeed The only
injunction that was imposed upon him
was that he should not delay. that he
should proceed as rapidly as possible
to make his theories practical, This
Marconi did, and now at the age when
most geniuses are shackled with the
uncertainty and lack of appreciation OF
the evolutionary stage he has so nearly
accomplished his work that he is pre-
pared to partake generously of the good
things OF life.
The wireless process as developed by
Marconi is so simple that one is amazed
that the clever Italian has been the
first to appreciate 1t. II demands pr-
marily transmtter to give the i'm
pulse to the ether and "A receiver TO re-
cord It, The transmitter consists es-
sentially OF a powerful induction coil,
with one end of the secondary wire in
the earth and the other in the air At
the receiver a wire Of corresponding
height is elevated, and with it the
waves are recorded This sounds ele-
mentary, and II really is. II is 30 SIM
pie that there is absolutely nothing that
is likely to interfere with the success of
It. Details that furnish complications
come afterward. The sending and re-
ceving wires are both perpendicular
because II has been found that horl-
zontal aerial wires are of no avail
whatever. These wires must be ele-
waited considerable distance from the
surface in order to deal with wide
areas. This disposition OF wires is the
leading feature at the Marconi stations.
They are affixed to high masts at the
permanent stations and are elevated by
means of balloons or kites at the tenn
porary ones,
Into the perpendicular wire Of the
transmitter oscillations Of electricity
are forced. This Is done by means Of
| the induction coil the power being fur
nshed by an ordinary alternate cur
rent generator. In the transmitting
current is a Geographic key BY de-

Mr. Cobb was a native Of South

in young manhood and had lived in
the county almost continuously for
the past fifty years or longer. He
was gallant Confederate soldier and
went to the front with one Of the

about one year ago his health was
splendid and he was a fine specimen
Of vigorous old manhood. lncreas-
ing age, however began to tell on
him and his failure from that time
was very rapid. For the past three
months he had been confined To- his
room, bis last appearance on the
streets being on Memorial Day when
he received from the Daughters bis
