while the waves are received with
maximum efficiency by wires parallel
to the direction of transmission, but
extending away from the detector or
receiving apparatus. When the re-
ceIving wire is made movable it is
possible to determine the direction of
the transmitting station. In the
course of his Investigations, Marconi
has noticed that the natural perturba
tions of the atmosphere, especially
prevalent in summer, comes from the
south on some days and at other times
from other directions, and he suggests
that it would be interesting to learn
if these disturbances have any relation
to distant storms. He expects to give
the matter further attention.

THAW is LOSS TO LoGGERs.
Cut IL Large Thus Far, but Total May
Show Falling or.

Washburn, Wis, Feb. q. - The
warm weather Of the last week in this
section of the country has had a bad
effect on logging companies operating
in the woods, and the roads are be-
coming in such a condition that opera
tons for this winter will have to be
suspended unless colder weather sets
in soon. The companies thus far have
had a successful season in the woods
and much timber has been cut, but If
operations have to cease now it will
put a big hole in the amounts that
were to have been logged and likely
will shorten the cuts of a number Of
mills that are supplied by the several
loggers. The snow is melting rapidly
and large streams of water are flow
ing everywhere.

HURON MAY HAVE BATTERY.

South Dakota is to be one of the

eminent. Capt. Coler Campbell of
Huron has just returned from Wash,
ington, where he accompanied Adjt.
Englesby to the national meeting of
adjutants general.
Capt. Campbell reports that through
the efforts Of Senator Kittredge. Sec,
rotary Of War Taft has agreed to To-
cate n Of the batteries in South Da-
kota. The batteries consist of four
pieces Of modern field artillery, and
their equipment will cost the United
States government $4,000 per bat.
terry.
Contingent upon the securing of the
battery the city in which it is to be
stationed must erect a substantial ar.
mory, and Adjt. Gen. Englesby is ex.
pected here shortly to look over the
ground and see what steps are neces.
sary to establish the new artillery at
Huron.

MIST Is MYSTERY.
Phenomenon Is Said to Be a Sign Of
Earthquake.

Phenomenon Is Said to Be a Sign Of
Earthquake.
Word has been brought from Piold
Creek Of an unusual happening at a
porphyry dixie on the southern spur
Of Sheep mountain. At different times
men working near the dixie have OBJ.
served a mist or vapor rising from it.
This would last about an hour and
then would pass away without leaving
any trace. Various causes have been
given for this phenomenon.
One observer has noted that the va.
por rises just before ar earthquake.
In one case it was noted before the
severe earthquake in Italy, and again
prior to an earthquake which did
some damage on the Isthmus Of Pan
anna.
The explanation most generally &C.
copied is that the mountain overlies
a cave similar to the Wind ave near
Hot Springs, and that when certain
atmospheric conditions obtain the
wind rushes up from the cave through
cracks near the dixie.

BENEFIT OF MINING INTEREST
Mining Experimental Stations to 81
tablished.

taoIlSheo.
Mining men of Deadwood are advo-
eating certain changes in the bill for
mining experimental stations which
has been favorably reported upon by
the committee on mines and mining.
This bill, as introduced by Represen,
tatice Martin, authorizes the secretary
Of commerce and labor to establish at
his discretion, in each of the states,
a mining experimental station. He
also to appoint at each station an ex-
pert geologist. He is authorized to
spend a sum not to exceed $4,000 in
establishing, equipping and maintain
ing each Of the stations created. 1t
is the duty Of this geologist and chem
list to analyze, for any citizen of the
United States at a nominal charge
samples of all mineral-bearing sub
stances and to determine the exact
amount Of mineral in the sample.
They are also required to make elias.
sification or assays of samples of rock,
cement, clay, etc. The geologist is
also expected to explore and examine
the mineral regions within his juris'
diction.
Mining men have advanced the be-
lief that such an Office would be over
| loaded with the work Of assaying
| rock, much of which has no special
| value, as enthusiastic ~prospectors
would take up the larger part Of the
time of such officials. The change
suggested by men familiar with con.
| ditions Is that n of two high class
| chemists be employed to work in con
nection with the mills with a view to
ascertaining methods by which a
larger percentage of the ore values
| could be saved. At present but few
| companies ave mor than Is per
cent of the assay value Of their ore,
through the Homestake, when its new
shines plant is completed, will save
practically all the gold. 1t is est
mated that nearly 81 100000 is car.
ried off annually from the tailings OF
the cyanide plants of the Black Hills
alone, and that if some method could
be discovered by which these values
could be saved it would mean much
not only to the mining district itself
but to the country in general.

INSTITUTE GETS KNOCKOUT
School Teachers Do Not Have to Go
to Meetinu.

to Meeting.
At the request of State Superintend.
ent Ramer, Attorney General Hall has
rendered a decision to the effect that
no county superintendent can compel
the attendance of a teacher at a coun.
ty institute heli outside the county
boundaries. And, further, that the
county commissioners of any county
cannot legally allow bills for insti.
tutes held outside the county.
1t has been the custom in some sec.
tions of the state for several counties
to join together to hold a longer in
stitute than could be afforded by any
one county, the expenses being paid
jointly. This ruling will prevent any
more such joint institutes being held.
The decision is to cover a situation
in Roberts county, where several of
the teachers refused to attend an in
stitute held at Simpson Park, in Grant
county, and the refusal of the county
authorities to grant them certificates
on account of such refusal. This &C.
ton on the part of the county super
intendent Of that county has brought
on a bitter school fight in that coun-
ty, in which sides have been taken by
the two political factions, and out of
which most Of the editors in the coun-
ty are either answering to libel suits
or are threatened with having such
suits brought. 1t is likely that the
decision of the attorney general may
clear the atmosphere, as the basis of
the whole wrangle is practically set.
tied by his decision, and is in oppo-
sition held by the county superintend.

South Dakota Postmaster Bound Over

The United States government has

an old soldier to file on some land

proof on this land in question was

From this and other irregularities the
case was worked up by Special Agent

agriculture.
