overland wireless telegraphy has
been tried out commercially within
the past few years, and while it Is
practically from the viewpoint of op-
Grafton, the interference between sta
lions leaves it a poor competitor of
the wire system. 1t has competed
more successfully with the shorter
cables, and elaborate experiments are
now being conducted by Professor
Fessenden and DR.. De Forest, work
ing Independently, in the effort to
establish permanently transatlantic
cableless telegraphy. Should the re-
suit prove practicable, it is extreme
ly doubtful if they will in any way
affect the cable companies, as is
popularity supposed.
The wireless patent situation has
been aired in the United States courts
to some exten, and it would seem
the decisions handed down that
the claims of Marconi in his original
of ten years ago, that is, ga
received having a sensitive tube or
other sensitive form of imperfect
contact capable of being restored
with certainty and regularity to its
normal condition" will be upheld
during the life of the patent. AS a
matter of fact, the electrolytic detec-
tor or barretter of Fessenden comes
under this claim, although this ques-
ton has not been answered by pro-
cess of law.
The present indications are that
there will be no litigation between
the Marconi and Fessenden interests,
and in so far as the United States is
concerned, there is reason to believe
that of the several companies now
making and selling apparatus, many
will be driven entirely out of the
business, one or two will be Install
ed by the Marconi company, and the
fittest only will survive, forming a
parallel with the interesting case of
the Bell telephone of thirty years ago.
If this should prove true, it will show
not only the value of fundamental
patents, but that which is of equal
Importance, namely, to handle the
so drawn as to properly con-
troll both methods and apparatus.

DOC UPSET AUTO
Leaped In Front of the
Machine.

RUTHERFORD, Nov. 6:-Mr. and
Mrs. John B. Ackerson, of Ridge
road, Mr.. Ackerson's mother, his sis
ter, Mrs. William c. Miller, and Mr..
Miller, his brother-in-law, were all
more or less seriously injured yester-

dent. The machine was upset by a
large dog, which ran barking in front
of the vehicle. The extent of Mrs.
Miller's injuries are not known at
present. She is suffering from
shock. Mr.. Ackerson's hands and
face were cut and bruised. Mr.. Ack-
erson's mother sustained a fracture
of the hip.
The machine, which was being OPP
Grated by Mr.. Ackerson, was speeding
along near Woodbridge, when a dog
suddenly jumped over the fence of a
farmyard and bounded in front of
the auto.
The driver endeavored to outspeed
the dog. Suddenly the animal
swerved near the front wheel, which
ran over it. This turned the auto
suddenly to one side, ov%erturning it.
The occupants were hurled to the
roadside.
The dog was so badly injured it
had to be shot.
Farmhands assisted the owner of
the automobile to get it back in posi-
ton. The damage to the vehicle was
slight.
Mr.. Ackerson's injuries were such
as to necessitate an operation. Mr..
Miller had his hurts dressed in Wood
bridge, but the others were brought
here. Mr.. Ackerson is a member of
the Rutherford Motor Club and is
prominent socially.

boys are amateur sailors. The oldest,
a strapping young fellow of sixteen,
is captain of a canoe yacht, built for
cruising in the waters of the Chesa-
peake; the second is ii daring young
ster before the mast; the third has
been master of his own boat since he
was seven. These boys dispute with
each other the right to appropriate
their father, when he returns from
Chautauquas; and the father himself
is a happy captive, nc matter into
whose hands he falls. Mr.. Dixon de-
clares that Tidewater, Va, is a para
disc. Tradition says the people down
there have always been so content
with their lot, that years ago they
had to shoot a man to start a ceme-
terry for the local church yard. Mr..
Dixon does not vouch for the histor-
lefty of that story.
