Wireless Telegraphy.

Wireless telegraphy is steadily
growing in Importance, and our gov
eminent has been among the foremost
in turning the method to practical &C.
count. A plan is under way looking to
the creation of a system in the Phil
ippines by which communication may
be had along the entire coast of those
Islands through the establishment of
series of stations. The idea is already
in effect in this country, where a
chain of government wireless stations
extends from Portland, Me-, to Gal
weston, Tex. The value of such a sys-
tenn in communicating official orders,
conveying news of storms and for
other practical purposes has been,
fully proved. There is need of a like
arrangement in the Philippines. Wire
less telegraphy is not yet brought to
perfection. There are many difficult
ties 70 overcome before communica-
ton can be invariably swift and GER
tain, but the service is improving and
it's extended use is justified.

SAVED THE CUSTOMER TROUBLE
Neat Way Waiter Secured Tip from
"Close" Man.

There is a waiter in a Washington
cafe, who is the acme of polite atten-
ton, endeavoring in every way to
save his customers trouble. The 9th
er day man came in who was sized
up by John as probably little
close" but the service was fully up to
the standard. The bill came to so
cents, and the man handed over
dollar bill.
John then proceeded to help the
man into his coat.

er asked.
Change, sab? Oar amt none-dat

with a bow.
But l hadn't given it to you,' the

low yo' ter go ter all dat trouble,

and the man went out, looking trif1e

BIRDS THAT ENJOY DANCING
Have Regular "BaI Rooms" for Their
Gyrataions.

Dancing is by no means confined to
quadrupeds; it is the principal play
of many birds.
Perhaps the finest of bird dancers
is the South American cock o. the
rock. These birds have regular dane
ing places, level spots which they keep
clear of sticks and stones.
A dozen or more of the bird dane
ers assemble around this spot, and
then a cock bird, his scarlet crest
erect, steps into the center. Spread
ing his wings and tail, he begins to
dance, at first with slow and state
ly stel.srhen gradually more and
more rapidly until he is spinning like
a mad thing. At last, tired out, he
sinks down, hops out of the ring and
another takes his place.
Some of the quail tribe are great
dancers, and so are the American sand
hill cranes. 1t is a most ludicrous
sight to watch crane dancing; he is
so desperately solemn over the whole
performance. He looks like a shy
young man who has just learned to
waltz and is rather ashamed of the
accomplishment.

Quail starved to death by thousands
in the winter of 1904-05, but last win
ter they had an easy time except in
February and March. From Massa-
chusetts to Indiana the quail are so
scarce that restocking has become
necessary. The birds for this pur-
pose are hard to find. More than 100,-
900 have been captured in Alabama
and the southwest, where they still
occur in abundance, and have been
shipped north for breeding. Even
this supply is quite inadequate, and
may not last long. The quail, says
Country Life in America, is perhaps
our most popular game bird, and a
market will be found for all that can
be produced. Complete success has
been had in raising them on a small
scale. Why should not some one go
into the business on such scale that
he could turn out 100000 quail per
year?

Mrs. Lizzie Williams, of No. 416 Ce-
dar street, Quincy, H.. says: Ever
since I had nervous prostration, about
thirteen years ago, have had periodical
spells of complete exhaustion. The doc

lengthening until at last I would lie

stretch. had dizzy feelings, palpita-
ton of the heart, misery after eating,
hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheu-
matte pains in the back and hips. The
doctor did me so little good that gave
up his treatment, and really feared that
my case was incurable
"When l began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills my appetite grew keen,
my food no longer distressed me, my
nerves were quieted To- degree that I
had not experienced for years and my
strength returned. The fainting spells
left me entirely after l had used the
third box of the pills, and my friends
say that am looking better than 1 have
done for the past fifteen years.

SAVED BABY LYONS LIFE.
Awful Sight from That Dreadful Com
plant, lnfantile Observation-Disclosures
Praises Cuticura Remedies.

Our baby had that dreadful COM
plant, infantile Eczema, which afflict-
ed him for several months, commenc-
ing at the top of his head, and at last
covering his whole body. His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery,
in fact there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re-
lief. We finally procured full set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about
three or four days he began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in a year. In about
ninety days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life, for he
was the most awful sight that 1 ever

TRANSPORTATION is CASH
Advertising Space Can Not Be
Exchanged for 1t.
Protest-FaciIitfes of Public Car
rier Not Private Property.

Washington, D. C.-Under a ruling
of the interstate comerce commits
sion, transportation over railroad
lines no longer may be given to news
paper publishers or editors in ex-
change for advertising space.
A protest against this ruling has
been received from the Massacchu-
sets Press association, which says
that the association unanimously
voted to center its protest against the
reported ruling in holding that the
payment for railroad transportation
at full rates in advertising shall be
treated on any other basis than that
of transportation paid for in cash."
In response to the protest, Chair
man Knapp, of the commission, says
u part; -,
tariffs filed in compliance with the
regulating statute name rates in
dollars and cents, and do not in any
case provide that transportation can
plain to the commission that the law
above quoted coupled with the fact
stated permits payment for services
of interstate carriers only in money.
'This ruling of the commission in
no way interferes with or abridges
the rights of private contracts. News
papers and their advertising space
may be freely exchanged for any spe-
cies Of property upon such terms as
may be acceptable to the parties to
the transaction. But the facilities of
the public carrier are not private
property, nor are they subject to
bargain and sale like merchandise.
The right to travel or have property
carried by rail, like the right to the
common highway, is not a contract
right, but a political right, the very
essence of which is its equality"

We Love THE JAPS
AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL TREAT
THEM RIGHT.
DOES NOT WANT ANY TROUBLE
So Says Root in Dispatch to japan
Government Would Square 1t"
With Mikado-'Frisco School Trou-
BILE Was Purely Local.

Washington, Oct 30. The text OF
a cablegram 10 Ambassador Wright at
Toxic. given out by the State Depart
ment tonight, bearing on the alleg-
ed discrimination against Japanese
laborers and school children in San
Francisco, discloses that the United
States took prompt action to acQuaint
the Japanese government of the pure
ly local character of the case. The
dispatch answers one from Ambasa-
dor Wright calling attention to the
view taken by the newspapers of To-
kio and makes plain that this govern
ment will not tolerate any other treat
ment toward Japan than that accord
ed the most friendly European ma
tions. The cablegram was sent three
days before the visit of ViScount
Aoki to Secretary Root. 1t is as fol-
lows:
October %. Wright, Toxic.
Troubles mentioned in your dis
patches of 81 are so entirely local and
confined to San Francisco that this
government was not aware of their
existence until the publication in our
newspapers of what had happened in
Toxic.
The best information we have been
able to obtain indicates that there is
nothing even in San Francisco but
an ordinary labor controversy. excit-
ed by the abnormal conditions result
ing from the earthquake and fire. We
can not prevent men DESTROYS of Ia
Dor vote from making speeches in ia
vor OF excluding any kind of compe-
tition. This does not seem to have
gone beyond irresponsible agitation
to which no attention can be paid by
this government or should be paid by
the people of Japan. The trouble
about schools appears to have arisen
from the fact that the schools which
the Japanese had attended were de-
stroyed by the earthquake and have
not been replaced.
You may assure the government OF
Japan in most positive terms that the
United States will not for a moment
entertain the idea of any treatment
toward the Japanese people other
than that accorded to the people OF
the most friendly European nation
and that there is no reason to sup
port the theory that the people de-
sire our government to take a differ
ent curse
The president has directed the De
partment of Justice to make full in
vestigation and take such steps as the
facts call for to maintain all treaty
rights of japanese subjects in the
spirit of friendship and respect which
our people have so long entertained.
The purely local and occasional ma
ture of the San Francisco school ques-
ton should be appreciated when the
japanese remember that Japanese
students are welcomed at hundreds
of schools and colleges all over the
country. ROOT.

A notable fact about the vision OF
insects and one which it may be sup
posed must largely influence their
view of the external world is the
number of facets or lenses in COM
pound eyes. A German naturalist, K
has been painstaking
enough to count the number of facets
in the eyes of no fewer than $50 spe-
er;es of beetle. He finds that in the
same species and sex the plumber
increases with the size of the body.
There is usually no permanent differ
ence between the sexes as to the
number of facets. Occasionally, how
ever, the difference is marked, as in
the case of lampyris splendidulL, in
which the male has $500 and the fe
male 800. One species, says the Phil
adelphia Record, is noted which has
the extraordinary number of $4,000
facets in its eye. The number of
facets is greater in the rapidly NOV
ing active forms than in the more
sluggish species.
