"ToUcHINEssv OF WIRELESS.
Like Some People It Is Sensitive to tho
Least Variations Of Conditions.

Wireless telegraphy is compared by
a writer In Cosmos to a good but ex.
citable man, capable of doing excel.
lent work, but apt to fly of the
handle on the slightest provocation.
This smile is suggested by a recent
communication in Drude's Annalen In
which Mr. Sachs. a German expert
menter, reports on the way in which
| space-telegraphy is affected by en-
vironments of various kinds. From
Sachs results 1t would appear that
wireless is very delicate and suscepti-
BILE to outside influences. Says the
writer in Cosmos,
BY placing the transmitting and re-
ceiving apparatus at different heights
above the ground, he found that the
transmission is much better at a GER
tain height than near the earth. The
augmentation of effect with height
proves that the conductibility of the
earth interferes. and that the electro
magnetic energy is powerfully abb
sorbed and slightly reflected. Besides.
1t is necessary TO take into account
the length of waves employed: for
short waves transmitted over terra
firma the author concludes that the
influence of the earth is always clearly
unfavorable. On the contrary, If the
Herizan waves used are of great
length, the earth, and especially the
sea, may be sufficiently conducting to
aid transmission to an important de-
gree.
MIR. Sachs. continuing his expert
ments along this line, has shown that
tie neighborhood of human beings
acts unfavorably on the transmission
and especially the reception of sig
nails. Whence 1t would appear that,
although the new telegraphy is doubt
less of great service to humanity. 1t is
certainly very delicate and suscepti-
BILE, like certain people who are ex-
cellent at bottom, bat who are affected
In an exaggerated way by the least
excitement"

Secretary Taft Tells Warning Factors
That Now is the Time to Decide
Whether They Would Have
Cuba Live as a Nation.

HAVANA second day OF confer
ences with the leaders of the factions
in the Cuban conflict has not enabled
Secretary Taft and Assistant Secre-
plan for compromising the difficulty.
So strenuous are the appeals OF both
the liberal and moderate party lead
ers that the situation becomes In
creasingly complicated as the negotia-
tons proceed. However, Secretary
Taft said Thursday night that he be-
lieved when they are brought face to
face with the danger Of losing inde-
dependence forever, all patriotic Gu
bans will be willing to make conces-
sions.
Mr. Taft added that the United
States peace emissaries are occupy
ing a most delicate position and have
undertaken to hear all complaints,
and that until they have made them
selves thoroughly conversant with the
not express themselves freely in the
conference, fearing that possible mis-
understanding may have detrimen-
tai effect in the proceedings.
The only counsel to the political
leaders given by Mr. Taft was on the
subject of not engaging in further agi-
tation that might make Intervention
by the United States necessary. This
advice he offers freely to all to whom
he gives audience, regardless Of party
Mr.. Taft has made it clear that the
United States is not seeking to exer-
else control over the island or any
of its affairs, but he has quoted Pres
ident Roosevelt's letter to Mr.. Que
sada to the effect that the United
States has duty which it cannot
shirk. To those whom he has met ia

is the time to decide whether they
would have Cuba live as a nation. He
has weighed every word carefully and
has itA'ther upheld nor criticised the
principles of either faction

up his campaign with renewed vigor.
1T was long time before the two
thought as one. and they had only the
open sky and soughing wind for a
witness to their pledge. but they knew
in their hearts that they loved each

had put out many signals of distress,
but no living creature came that way,
and finally they gave up hope of ever
seeing another human being"

LAWYERS RETAIN
ALL THEIR MONEY
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
HOWEVER DECIDES THAT
CLIENTS HAD TO RETURN
WHAT THEY WON IN SUITS.

Washington, d. G.. Oct 30.--Justice
Holmes, of the United States SUI
preme court today decided that an
attorney is entitled to his compensa-
ton in prosecuting a claim against an
insurance company, even if the claim
is afterward found to have been
fraudulent Mrs. Jennie Smythe, of
Texas, held an insurance policy on
life Of her brother which was settled
by the Fidelity Mutual Life on h S
disappearance with indications of
drowning the attorneys for Mrs.
Smythe getting half. The brother
afterwards was found to be alive and
Mrs. Smythe was ordered by the
Texas courts TO pay back the money.
The court, however, refused to order
the attorneys to return what they had
received. and the decls on of the SUI
preme court today upholds the daci-
3icn.
Justice Fuller announced a decision
against Ferdinand |. Eidman, col
lector Of customs at New York. who
sued F. G. Tilgman, executor of the
will of the late Frederick Britain, al
leging he had not been properly taxed
under the inheritance laws. The court
of appeals found against Eidman on
the ground that the law was repealed
less than a year after Brittains death
The highest court also decided in
favor of Governor N. O. Murphy and
Auditor George w Vickers, who were
sued by Thomas Wilson, alleging that
funds were improperly diverted and
used for furnishing the governors
office. The supreme court upheld the
lower court in the decision that the
were properly drawn.
