WIRELESS TELEPHONY.
New Discovery Claimed by San Fran
cisco Youth.

A seventeen-year-old San Francisco
youth believes that he has discovered
the secret Of transmitting the sounds of
the human voice through the air without
the air of wires. Since the discovery
and development of wireless telegraphy
and its application to practical uses,
wireless telephony has been regarded by
expert electricians as one of the possi-
bilities. Experiments made on the
ocean beach on Saturday last with the
apparatus constructed by Francis j.
Mccarthy, whose home is at 443 Octa-
via street, went far to prove that the
problem of wireless telephony Is solv-
able. If not actually solved already.
Perhaps the extreme youth of the in
ventor will be the means Of discred-
iting him in the minds of some people
and exciting doubts about the genuine
ness Of his discovery, although 1t should
not for genius is not development of

representative from Mississippi:
A whangdoodle. hard preacher
Yves holding forth and wound up fam
ing sermon with a peroration which
came near taking the shingles of the
meeting house. He said:
my brethren and sistern, eff mans

There was the three Arabian children;

seven times hotter than 1t could be het,

BIG PAY For IHFLUENcE.-It will re-
quire a more searching investigation
than a mere examination Of the court
records to uncover the lawyers who
have received retainers and fees from
the great life insurance companies.
The names printed in the insurance
literature and appearing in the court
records are not those Of the distin-
guished counsel whose large fees make
the legal expense" disbursements so
heavy. For what were these costly
lawyers paid? Not for conducting lit
igation. because they did not appear In
the few insurance cases on the court
calendars. Not for drawing contracts
or forms of policies. for these are well
settled Not for searching the titles
of real estate on which loans are
made. for the borrower pays the search
fees. Maybe 1t was their influence and
not their services which was sough:
by lavish payments.-New York World.

OLD MAIDS SHOULD CHEER UP
ALMOST 2.ooo.o 900 EXTRA MEN:

CHICAGO Dec. 20.-There are
1,S40, $50 more msn than women in
the United States, and the same pro-
portion prevails in almost every other
countrv, says William E. Curtis in a
Washington. D. -. dispatch to the
Record Herald. Sexes are never even
in population, Notwithstanding the
fact that so many men are killed in
battle, are engaged in hazar dous
employments and are continually
exposed TO dangers from which women
are protected. The only exception is
III Paraguay, where there are more
than twice as many women as men.
This is due to the fact that some yeals
ago In political revolution and a
war with Br .zil and the Argentine
Republic. the men were almost tx
terminated. There is an excess OF
men even in Maine, Vermont and all
New England except Massachusetts,
and New Hampshire. In Connecticut
the sexes are more nearly even than
anywhere else. there being only 1853
III ore men than women. In New
Hampshire there is an excess of $50
women, and in Massachusetts there are
70. 39S more women than men, which
seems to prove the axiom announced
by sociologists, that the higher the
civilization the closer the proper ion
of sexes.
The excess of men would be very
much larger were not their death rate
greater than that. of women. Nineteen
men die every year to every sixteen
women. In cities twenty men die to
every seventeen women. The greatest
difference i'll mortality is among
babies. For some reason or other
the mortality is greater smoug boys
up to fourteen wears of age than dur
ing any other period of life. 1t is an
interesting fact, however, that the
death rate of women is lowest between
the ages of twenty and thirty-the
per lod at which four-fifths of child
births OCCUR.
