TREES FOR WIRELESS MAsTs
Are an Excellent Substitute for Poles
in the Transmission Of
Messages.

wireless telegraphy has taken long
step in advancing practical military
utility through the investigations ana
conclusions Of Maj. George A. Squier'
Of the signal corps The cumbersome
masts and accessories to the aerials have
heretofore been a big item Of expense
and have offered serious engineering
problems in the installation Of wireless
stations. Maj. squier, states the Chicago
Tribune, has demonstrated that growing
trees. preferably covered with foliage,
are an excellent substitute for the masts
in the transmission Of messages over
moderate distances. The spreading
roots eIectually replace the large con-
Quoting plates usually buried IN the
ground. the saps and juices entering into
the innumerable hair roots proving good
conductors Of electro magnetic waves.
The large surface Of growing leaves, TOO,
serves as a large plate Of a condenser,

ta1lic surfaces usually smplOyed 20 In

WOMEN oWNINo PROPERLY
A Number Possess One-Third of the
Business Realty in Los
Angeles.

"You may think it startling state
ment, said a prominent dealer in real
estate, when tell you that fully one
third Of the real estate in this city is
owned by women. In that book yon-
der" pointing to a huge volume on the
desk, SIS a complete list OF all the prop
crty within the city limits Just run
your eye over its pages If you doubt the
truth Of what say"
Sure enough! The pages fairly bristled
with feminine names, says the Los An
geles Times. Mary" Elizabeth, .
Caroline, etc, Illuminated the text
from cover TO cover Of the big book. Fur
ther investigation revealed the fact that
some Of the choicest business property
much Of it, indeed-belongs to women.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
association has just made out list OF
property owners in the downtown sec
ton. In this list the names Of nearly 200
women appear, some of them several
times, indicating as many pieces of prop
erty. These women arenot simply hold
ing this valuable real estate in their
names as a matter Of family arrange
ment but are the absolute and indepen-
dent owners of the property assessed to
them in this choice district Of the city.
Many Of them are widows, some of them
are single women, but all are bona fide
owners.
Some Of this property has remained In
the same hands for years. owned by wo-
men who have inherited it and who have
been content to simply wait and watch
their fortunes grow, serene in the faith
that "all things come to him who waits
and anyone fortunate enough to own
few feet of land anywhere in this sec
ton could well afford TO wait.
other women, energetic and full Of
business push, have been strong In the
belief that fortunes come quicker to
those who hustle while they wait. Ac-
cordingly they have hustled and have
turned their holdings over and over,
buying and selling, holding on and let
ting go-in short, have kept their nest
egg rolling until, like the boys snow
ball, it has increased to enormous pro-
portions.

THE JAPANESE RED CROSS
Thought by Some to Be the Finest
Organization Of the Kind in
the World.

The Red Cross society of Japan is
probably. all things considered, the
finest organization of the kind In the
world. 1t has been growing and i'm
proving constantly since its small
origin in 1877, and now has nearly
million members, an excellent relief
organization and large funds Its
method8. writes Anita Newcomb Nc
Gee In THE American Nurses n
Japan in the April Century, are rad
ically different from any volunteer aid
we have yet seen in America, for is
fundamental assumption is that the
army knows its own business and is
competent to attend to IT, It's gen
eraI attitude, instead Of implying,
1--WE know the medical department
will break down in the field, and there
fore we insist on going to the front
and into the camps to supply its de-
fects," indicates this The people OF
Japan appreciate so highly the work OF
the medical department that they ask
the privilege Of assisting it.
On the contrary, in the Spanish
American war we had multiplicity
of small societies. meaning well, but
working blindly and at cross-purposes,
accomplishing good at an altogether
disproportionate cost of money and
labor, and not infrequently interfer-
ing with and handicapping the work
Of the responsible medical officers.
But in the Japanese-Russian war
there is a single great, well-prepared
organization. the ally and assistant Of
the medical officers. working only
where it is instructed that it will be
Of use, and accomplishing vast good
at minimum cost.
The Japanese Red Cross society Is
characteristic Of the nation; for every
war, campaign and great disaster since
its foundation has been TO its officers
a lesson by which they have prohted.
In the present war they are always on
the alert to discover their defects, to
learn how to remedy them, and to
gain new ideas for improvement It
was as one of many means to attain
these ends that some American army
nurses we're wanted in the Japanese
hospitals, where their work could be
carefully observed; and for the same
reason the writer was appointed by
the minister of war as supervisor OF
nurses Of the Red Cross, with the rank
Of officer; sent 10 many hospitals; and
required to make reports and recon-
mendations TO the Red Cross society.
A Japanese lady, by profession a
teacher, had formerly held this posi-
ton. but since her death it had been
vacant.

KANSAS VERSUS NEW YORK
A Challenge in Porcine Literature
Hurled at the East by the
Boundless West.

The article from a New York paper
which is referred to below has been go
ing the rounds Of the Kansas papers,
but the St. Johns News has been the
first to attempt TO do Kansas Justice.
That paper says:
THE New York papers are chron-
ieling the startling news that a hog,
after being buried in a snowdrift
for four days, was rescued ard
is getting over its experience in fine
shape. That may seem like a pretty
big hog story to New Yorker, but to
an old Kansan such little things are
passed unnoticed. Why, we can beat
that hog story TO death, and not half
try, and It won't be lie, either. Dur
ing the big blizzard Of January, 1886,
we had hog that was buried in snow
drift just p days before she was dis
covered, and when removed from the
drift she Of course was ready for her
corn. but was still in good squealing
condition. The same year our neighbor
on the north, ". H. Campbell, had a
SOW that was caught out during the
same blizzard, and although not entirely
buried in the snow, was without food
for Just IS days before the owner found
her. II New Workers wish to relate
hog stories, they had better come to
Kansas for data"

Every lover Of birds must have noticed that there are
fewer Of them about vnita this spring than in former
years There is noticeable elimination Of the brown
thrush the best Of all the native song birds Red birds
are also scarce as is nearly all the kinds that nest here
in the spring and migrate to the south in the winter
It is barely possible that many may have frozen during
the very cold weather last winter that reached far to
the south The scarcity Of these little featheren friends
IS distinct loss and il be hoped it will not be per-

birds from destruction.
