WIRELESS ON RAILWAY.
System Now in Operation on All Fast Trains Running Out of the
 City of London.

The Midland Railway company is conducting a series of experiments in the vicinity of Derby to determine whether wireless telegraphy can be used in connection with their fast train service between London and the north The system adopted was conceived by Sir Oliver Lodge and Dr. Alexander Muirhead, Who are assisting the cleo trical engineer of the railway. The difficulty with the aerial wire consti- tuted the greatest problem.
 In order to test the idea under the most disadvantageous conditions all old car was used as a receiving sta- ton. The aerial wires were carried on porcelain insulators, the height of the wires varying from 9 to 15 inches above the curvature of the roof. It is claimed that never before has so short an aerial wire been used in wireless telegraphy. From the roof the wires are carried in small cable through a special insul- ated fitting to the interior of the van to the receiving instrument. Here the succeeding waves of dots and dashes are separated and resolved into words upon drum of paper similar to those employed in tape machine, the mes- sage being written by Lodge-Muir- head siphon recorder such as is used with marine cable instruments.
 The transmitting station is situated in hut near Derby, with an installa- tion of apparatus for sending the mes- sage into the air. Outside the cabin is the aerial wire which follows conven- tional lines.

TIE COMPANY SCATTERED.
Ingenious Ruse of Western Despera- docs in Job Put Up on
 Gamblers.

A prominent attorney of Baltimore told the following story to one of his colleagues recently, says the Sun, of the time when he was in the west, when the gold fever was at it's height:
 One of the largest gambling houses in San Francisco was in full swing, when in walked two men, one of whom carried large powaer horn They ambled up to the bar, and the man with the powder horn threw it on the counter and saId in loud voice: I am tired of it all, and shall end it here, but may as well take my friend 1, along with me- He then dumped out on the counter a quantity of what looked to be powder. His companion took from his pocEet some ot the same stuff and threw it inro the fire, where upon black smoke puffed out from tle stove. By that time the gamblers looked around and were mortified to see the other one seize the horn and throw the contents into the stove.
 The whole company, thinking there would be a horrible explosion, jumped to their feet and scattered. With a joyous laugh the two men ran over to the tables and scooped in all the money in sight-a goodly pile-jumped on their horses and gallored away.
 'To say that the players were in- censed when they returned would be putting it mildly. It turned out upon investigation that it was only black sand that the two desperate men threw on the counter"
 The lawyer asked why, when one Of these men threw some of the stuff in the stove. it created a volume of smoke. The other thought he must have had some real powder in his pocket.
 Now the second attorney is wonder ing if the friend who told inc story was one of those who ran out of the place. Of course, he could not have been one of the desperadces, so how did he know?

day of the hero with civic rlghteou,

day of the hero with civic righteous ness is at hand.
 Democracy has never in all history demonstrated by trial its right to he called the ideal form of self govern ment. We are conducting an experi- ment in democracy here. Democracy creates problems, but it has not solved them. It is even possible that our American experiment may utterly fail unless Christianity and high patriotism takes a strong hold. One way in which we can all help in the salvation of our country is to help in the salvation of the city in which we live. or of the ward fin which we vote. or of the street in which our home is. Christ never saved a man for the sake of getting him into heaven. But he saved men to have them do something"
