wlreless Telegraphy,. panger.

One of the characteristic features OF
wireless telegraphy is, from the point
of view of the staff, the constant risk
of being struck by lightning. Whenever
there is thunder about the danger is
very real. Should the electric fiuid
strike enc OF the antennae connected
with every wireless telegraphy station
the wires would be destroyed and the
lives of whole staff would be in peril
A quartermaster of the French fleet
named Connan, Las invented an auto
matte apparatus for counteracting the
lightning. should 1t strike an antepnae
by diffusing the electric fluid in space
and isolating the operators. Prelimin
airy trials have given good results, and
the Ministei Of Marine has named a
committee to carry out exhaustive
practical tests.

GIVE NE POWDER AND BALLS.


Many stories are being told Of NJ.
Fallieres, the newly-elected French
President, and one Of them is worth
retelling, says the London Globe.
NJ. Fallieres is a corpulent, heavy
built Lan, and 1t seems that after din
ner he occasionally falls off into post
prandial nap. One evening, when the
new President was dining at the Ely
see, after a heavy day al the Senate,
he found himself utterly unable to
keep his eyes open, and when the man
servant brought round NJ. Fallieres'
coffee that worthy gentleman was
asleep. Fearing to wake him, the do
mestic placed the coffee on the table
and retired. And NJ. Fallieres slum-
bered on. And as he slept he dreamed.
Whether the memory of the troublous
times of his youth was upon him, or
whether the vision of the German EN-
peror with his leglons crossing the
frontier disturbed his digestion. we are
not told, but as he dreamed the veteran
President of the Senate was heard to
murmur the famous line of Victor Hu.
go, "Give me powder and balls" Then
he lapsed into silence again, and again
he was heard, in deep, sleepy voice,
calling for powder and balls. At first
M. Loubet, who was sitting near his
old friend, paid no attention, and the
guests continued their conversation.
But when, for the sixth time, NJ. Fal-
Heres repeated his request, "Give me
powder and balls" the President of the
Republic turned imploringly to his COM
panions at the table, and in some-
what irritated voice, exclaimed, For
heavens sake give him powder and
balls"
At this moment NJ. Fallieres awoke,
| but as his fellow-guests discreetly pre-
tended to have observed nothing, he
quietly helped himself TO a piece of
sugar and drank up his coffee.

London pawnbrokers are frequently
asked to take strange things in pawn.
The other day Holborn pawnbroker
lent 500 on a fine horse, which one of
his daughters rode until it was re-
deemed. The same pawnbroker once
took in pledge medical chest of
poisons that We're strong enough to
kill 10000 men. 1t was, however, a
valuable deposit. as some of the
poisons were very rare. A Kenslngton
(England) pawnbroker about three
weeks ago lent sum of money on a
number of autographs of dead celebri-
ties.-Cbicago Journal.

The Question of Salaries.

President Eliot's arguments seem
less sound when he objects to the
payment of salaries which bear some
relation to the magnitude of the cor
poration rather than in strict proper
ton to the ability and activity re-
quired. OF all forms of protit-sharlng
the rewarding of especially faithful. or
especially capable, employees by high
wages seems least Objectionable. Pres
ident Eliot's theory that mans chief
reward should be his own satisfaction
with his work is not practicable so long
as competition among employees makes
it possible for a man to choose among
positions equally congenial. His duty
to his family requires him to go where
their share of his reward will be great
est. A family cannot be supported on a
mans pleasure in his work. The fear
that high salaries may unfit men for
application to business has some foun-
dation in the behavior of men who are
morally unfit to stand the strain of
wealth, but does not affect the merits
of the case. Would President Eliot
wish his salary to be higher than the
newest tutor? Could the latter take
the Presidents place?
There is one class of high salaries
for which no justification can be found,
the salaries paid to the officers of in
surance companies and other corpora
tlons of a fidicuary nature, where
there is no pretense that the services
Al
ceived. Such payments are of the ma
ture Of theft. If President Eliot's re-
marks are meant to apply chiefly to
functlonaries of that kind the public
will agree with him.-Chicago Tribune.

with threads spun by its own larvae.
The much doubted report has been con-
firmed by late observations of E.
Doflein in Ceylon and Il. Goeldi in
Brazil. Dofeln slightly tore a nest,
when five or six ants arranged them
selves in a straight row and slowly
pulled the edges of the leaves to-
gether, while others cleared away the
pieces. Other workers then appeared,

When a horse is overworked it
lies down and in other ways de-
clares its inability to go further,
you would consider it criminal to
use force. Many a man of HUI
name impulses, who would not
willingly harm a kitten, is guilty
of cruelty where his own stomach
is concerned. Overdriven, over
worked, when what it needs is
something that will digest the
food eaten and help the stomach

With a crime wave sweeping over
Middlesex county, causing four muir
ders and as many more murderous
assaults, 1t is cheerful to r~ecollect
that none of them took place in this
city nor has there been a deliberate
murder here in ten years. Only once
since 1895 has one person killed an
tother and that was ina saloon row in
1908, when Andrew Rusko struck
Frank Magic over the head with the
small end of a pool cue on August 30
in a drunken wrangle, it was de-
clared, in a saloon on Mechanic
street. The cue is in the exhibit case
at police headquarters.
There is also on view in the glass
case the bone-handled pocket knife
used by George zuprak, the alleged
slayer of Josa Juhaz on August 20,
1896. Prior TO that there was the
Stephanko murder when the victim
was ! I'd here for his money, and
the Mary Anderson murder June s,
1892.
There have been two or three kill
ings at Keasbey and in other ada
cent parts of the county in recent
years but not in Perth Amboy.

Proposed Changes.
There is a plan or foot to change
the method of naming the standing
committee, which is really an advis-
DRY committee to the bishop. There
is a feeling among some of the young
err members of the diocese that they
would like the opportunity of being
named on that, n OF the most inn
portant of all, committees, and in the
past it has been so that once a mar
was named it meant that he might
be on the committee continuously.
The new plan is to name two men
each year for a period of two years,
and fix it by rule so that no man shall
be able to succeed himself at the COM
pletion of his term.
III HIS duuTcSS, DlSlOp OCdIuOl-
ough said that it vas nearly a third
of a century since he had made his
first address before the body.
He touched upon the liquor traffic
as one of the greatest evils of the day,
and spoke of the bishops bill of this
state, passed by the last legislature,
and gave the credit for it's inception
to the Catholic church. While it was
not Just exactly what he would like
to have, yet he was thankful that the
question had come, and this much
accomplished. The discussion which
the bill had aroused had, in the bish-
ops estimation, been infinitely bene-
fetal to the whole state.
Last night there was a missionary
service in the church, and the speak
ers were the Rev. J.. r. Atkinson,
rector of Trinity church, Elizabeth,
and the Rev. F.. l.. Flinchbaugh, rec
tor of st. Johns church, Salem.
The concluding business session OF
the convocation was held at IL
