this John Burroughs added, "and the

wings and tail, chin and throat are a
vivid blue, while his breast and TANKS

a reddish tone that extends from the

male bluebird once flew so high that
his back rubbed against the sky,

"ToUCHINESs" OF WIRELESS.
Like Some People 1t Is Sensitive to the
Least Variations of Conditions.

Wireless telegraphy Is compared bv
writer in Cosmos to a good but ey.
citable man, capable of doing excel.
lent work, but apt to fly off the
handle on the slightest provocation,
This smile is suggested by recent
communication in Drudes Annalen in
which Mr.. Sachs, a German experi.
menter, reports on the way in which
space-telegraphy is affected by en-.
vironments of various kinds. From
Sachs results it 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.
Mr. Sachs, continuing his experi-
ments along this line, has shown that
tho 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, but who are affected
in an exaggerated way by the least
excitement"

Rev. Denis P. O'Flynn, of New York

die poor and he practiced what he
preached. Aside from a valuable IL
brary given to the Paulist fathers he

money In bank, no money in the rec
tory HE died as poor as the proverb-

Inventor of Esperanto.

DR.. Zamenhof, the inventor of esper-
anto, the universal language, was
born at Bialystok, Polish town on
the borderland of Germany and Rus
STA At least four different languages
are spoken by the various nationali-
ties who compose its population-Rus
sian, Polish, German and Yiddish.
This babel of tongues seemed to Ia
menhof the primary cause of mutual
chickering's, and he set himself to bring
about unity. The result was esperanto.

Frioht Causes Drowning.

II spectator would shout encour-
agement to a drowning or frightened
bather 1t would have a good effect, for
II will sometimes give him a little
backbone, and that's all he needs.
Ninety nine times out of hundred all
the trouble is caused by fright. The
swimmer is not even exhausted, and
with an encouraging word he will
start to swim again If in his fright he
has not swallowed too much water.
Even If a poor swimmer would only
go near to a man in trouble and talk
to him without trying to take hold,
this would often tide him over his
panic
