Marconi, whose name is Inseparably
connected with wireless telegraphy.
81 am glad to be connected with an
enterprise which promises to accom-
plish so much in a field where my
compatriot, Mr. Marconi, has been so
prominent" said the prince to the
writer recently ~ consider the pos

been developed, as yet. New inven-
lions are coming out all the time, and
what has been done will doubtless be
far surpassed in the future"
Prince del Drago is nobleman of

is of considerable scientific attain

will spend some months In this coun-
try. At present he is stopping at the

Tariff Revision,
Senator Warren, of Wyoming, sees
no reason for an immediate revision
of the tariff and does not think it will
come in the near future. Conditions
may change during the next year OIL
So" said he, while here this week "as
to make revision undesirable. There
may be a decrease in the cost OF liv'
ing without any corresponding decline
in wages of laborers. At the present
time wages are constantly being in
creased in every line of work and
there is no sign of financial depres
sion or of want in any part of the
country. Why change the tariff when
everybody is so prosperous"

Opportunities in Ecuador.
Senior Louis CARGO, minister of the
United States from Ecuador, says
there are great opportunities for
young men of America in the vast
mineral and engineering industries of
Ecuador. South America offers
more ailuring opportunities to young
men than any other region IN the
world" he said recently. He thus
paints the southern continent. Vast
mineral deposits and great areas of
valuable timber land await the COM
ing of capital and energy that must
convert them into private fortunes.
Already many tho sand Americans
ad Europeans are ENGAGED in tie
exploitation of Ecuador's natural
riches, and there is | steady ih1uS of
capital and immigrants Ecuador is
quite free from those political disturb.
ances which have served to make in
vestments of capital SO unsafe in
many Southern countries. 1t is true
that armed conflicts occur there, and
are widely circulated in this country
as revolutions, but their seriousness
may be compared with what would
here be termed a riot Ecuador has
three distinct climates, low and hot

BY WILLIAM WOLFF SMITH


Washington, %. c., Nov. 26.-The
suggestion Of First Assistant Post
master General Hitchcock that the Sc
lection of postoffice sites and the ar
chitecture of the building to be erec-
ted thereon should be under the direc-
ton of the postmaster general in
stead of the treasury department has
attracted much attention in cities to
be provided with public buildings I'M
der the recent public building act 1t
is true that some years ago a num-
Der of buildings were erected which
might we'll be termed monstrosities,
which were not suited to the needs of
postoffices; but those now in course
of construction from plans prepared
under the present architect, James
Knox Taylor, are not only more pure
in design than those Of former years,
but they are being quilt to meet the
demands for which they are intended
and not solely for pleasing the eye.
But il is not so much the style of
building that Mr. Hitchcock criticises
as the selections of locations for the
buildings. The burden of his song
is that the treasury department, in a
majority of cases, selects sites too
far from the railroad stations, there
by increasing the cost of handling
the mails. He would place the post
office of every city within eighty rods
of the railroad station and put the
cost of TRANSPORTATION of the mails to
and from the depot on the railroad
company
In discussing with your correspond
ent. Mr.. Hitchcock's declaration, a
high official of the treasury depart
ment explained how that department
went about the work OF selecting a
site. the agents were instructed to
consider before making their reports.
I'm the first place" said he, the
agent learns through observation
what portion OF the town is most fire.
| ouented by the citizens-what streets
are mostly traversed by the people.
He then finds the center of business,
and if a proposal for site in that
part of the city is on his list he
examines it thoroughly as to water
accommodations, foundations, etc., at
ter which he measures the distance
to the railroad station. Public sentl-
ment is also taken into consideration
as well as the probable direction OF
the growth of the town. In most
cases. for some unknown reason, the
city is built up toward the northwest
so the inspector considers where the
business center will be located in the
future. and acts accordingly. 1t /:
not an easy matter to please every
body and the selection of site fol
q ;GbEc building is one of the mos
thankless jobs ! know of"

consulted regarding these matters

MONSTER SHARK CAPTURED.
Fish Weighing $4,000 Pounds Recently
Taken from San Pedro Bay, Cal.

San Franeisco-Sharks often attain
a very large size along the Pacific
coast, especially off the shores OF
southern California Very recently,
a monster shark was captured by two
Italian fishermen in San Pedro bay,
that is claimed to be the largest fish
of that kind ever caught in the world.
Beyond doubt it is certainly one OF
the largest ever captured anywhere.
When drawn cut of the water and
killed, this sea monster weighed IA
900 pounds. 1t measured from tip TO
tip 80 feet, and the circumference OF
the body just forward Of the huge
dorsal fin was Is feet. Across the
fearful mouth = horizontally when
opened it was two and one-half feet,
while from the tip of the snout to the
point of the lower Jaw 1t measured
three and one-half feet. The size OF
the huge mouth may be judged by the
Photograph being large enough for
two children to be comfortably seated
therein.

About What Her Husband Would Say.

Coffee because ordinary coffee dis.

writes:
fHy husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at alb
and in bed part of the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so I could not attend to
my housework-both of us using cot
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful.
''one morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
I took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
"But ! took coffee right of the
table, and we haven't used a cup of
it since. You should have seen the
change in us, and now my husband
never complains Of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after I began Pos
tum. My children love it and it does
them good, which can't be said OF
coffee.
