One OF the practical uses of the kite
aerial will be to facilitate the proper
attuning Of the two terminals of a line
which has always been a difficult and
rather uncertain matter until now.
The purpose of the experiments in Ire
land was to attune the station at Glen
gariff with that at Manhattan Beach.
After that delicate operation is per-
formed satisfactorily it is possible to
transmit messages to aerials Supported
by stationary masts.
The aerials supported by kites, there
fore, will be used chiefly in an emer-
gency and at a temporary station
There are many instances in which
such method will be of the greatest

But kites were not great success in
early wireless telegraphy, due to the
uncertainty of their action. A sudden
squat or a change in the direction Of
the wind sent them swooping toward
the ground, making a failure of the ex-

in tho exploration of new and promising
scientific fields. His most recent
achievement Is the promotion OF WIRE
less telegraphy by means Of his tetra-
hedral kite
From the earliest days of wireless
communication scientists and other In
terested persons have understood that
there were wonderful possibilities for
wireless telegraphy carried on by
means of balloons and kites used as
sending and receiving stations. Pro-
fessor Bell, however, Is the first invent
or to point the way to a practical APP
plication of the scheme. For several
years this inventive genius, at his Ia
boratory In Nova Scotia, has been try
ing to solve the problem of aerial navi-
CATION along new lines. For this pur-
pose he has been experimenting with a
tetrahedral kite Of his own designing.

the purpose OF masts. Used in this
way they possess immense advantages
over the ordinary mast; they may be
carried from place to place, and the
height may be lessened or increased at
a moments notice. These features are
calculated to give the new scheme an
immense advantage in time of war or
other unusual emergency. ~
These kites seem to be available at
all times. They ascend in all kinds of
weather and are equally serviceable in
violent wind and perfect calm. They
are held by piano wire line, which

Idaho's Population Placed at $4,000.

II Is interesting. to note that the
vote of the state was little greater
than two years ago. For governor In
1904, 71,O77 votes were cast, ana H.
225 for president This year the vote
for governor was 1855.
1t Is probable there are 10000 more
yers enthtnhnhttnhcmfwyp cmfwy
voters in the state than in 1904. There
has been heavy immigration in nearly
every county. This has been very pro-
nounced through this portion Of the
state and in the upper Snake river
valley as well as In Kootenai, Nez
Perez and Idaho counties, while most
all counties have experienced pro-
nounced growth Of population.
Always at presidential election
the vote is heavier than in an of
year, and. had there been no increase
in population the vote this year would
scarcely have reached the $4,000 mark
This is interesting in connection
with the question of the population OF
the state. If the usual estimate OF
the stay-at- home vote is correct for
this year, we have nearly 5000 voters
in the state ae this time, which would
indicate population Of about $780,
200, perhaps more.

MAN THE BEST SWIMMER.
Ear Ahead of the Lowsr Animals in the Respect of Ns-
 tatory Power.

It is curious that whereas the rabbit cannot swim at all, the hare Is an ex- cellent swimmer. The common mouse and the field mouse can only swim q few yards; they drown in the act of swimming. Yet rats swim splendidly.
 Lions and tigers swim well, al- though only from necessity-to cross' a river, for example.
 The horse can swim for miles with out being exhausted. and shows a wonderful instinct in choosing the best available landing place. Bears and moles swim well. but bats and monkeys are helpless in the water. All reptiles swim; so do most insects.
 Human beings have greater swim min powers than most of the lower animals. A man has been known to swim 30 miles without a stop. Tho only land animal known to have even approached this performance is the American black bear; but the Ameri. can deer sometimes swims 12 or 1l miles at a stretch.

"IsLE OF SPICE"

The chorus girls of the piquant musical mixture, the "Isle of Spice," B. Q. Whitney's musical comedy, which comes to Polls Wednesday af- ternoon and evening, have made a reputation for themselves that is as gratifying as it is unique. Wherever the company has been and whatever the criticism of the piece itself, there has never been but one opinion of the grace, beauty and delightfully."- at tractive quality of the work of the chorus girls. The wonder of it all is how such young girls can work so hard and still retain their youth. beauty and graceful curves. MT SOhlke has also combined many of the movements known to military men as the setting III" drill. which is the first thing the raw recruit is put through when he joins the army, with those of the physical culture exercises. Were it not for the all most perfect physical condition that these scientifically rehearsed chorus girls of the "Isle of Spice" have at tained, it would be impossible for them to stand the tremendous amount of hard work they go through every day, for in addition to performance each night and the usual matinee, MT Sohlke has daily rehearsals. Prices are 25, 50, 75, $1 and $1.50; matinee 25, 35,, 50 and 75 cents. Seats now on sale. Orders held until Wednesday noon only.

VAUDEVILLE.

There will be no lack of patronage at the Jacques this week. The Spook Minstrels is a singing act with a moving picture reproduction of a minstrel show that is we'll executed and the vocalists have trained and harmonious voices. Gardner and Stoddard offer a melange of variety material that pleases. Miss Stod- dard is a clever mimic and Mir Gard ner makes a cornet sound like an instrument of harmony and not a fish horn. Miss Stoddard's charac- terization of "0akyille Susie" is very laughable. Mazuz and Mazett with their old act get as many laughs as ever, and St Onge Brothers combine an excellent monologue with a lot of skillful tricks on the bicycle. Leo Carillo initiates Chinese, chickens and other animals accurately and his stories are funny. German and West do a plentitude of songs and walking dances. Gordan and Cha con are less entertaining than me- groes ordinarily are. The pictures are more than passing good and the performance gives a feeling of pleasure. That's all anyone can ask.

ROMANCE OF A sWEET-PEA
The Way in Which the Beautiful Blanche Ferry Variety Originated
 and Was Introduced.

It will soon be time to plant sweet peas, the pretty flowers which have been brought to great perfection in America, and which often thrive in poor soil.
 The parent of nearly all the most beautiful varieties of the American sweet pea is the Blanch Ferry, which has pretty romance connected with it's discovery. Some 50 years ago, the comedy daughter of well-to-do farm or ran away from home to marry a young quarry-man, and her home thereafter was always in a cottage. often but mere hut, on the very thin soil overlying the lime stone lodges where her husband worked. When her baby died she went back to her fathers farm to bury it, and took with her on returning to her cottage, some seed of white sweet pea, and seed of the old Painted Lady pink
 Thereafter, however great her pov. erty, she never failed to grow near her cottage home some of these sweet peas, as reminder of her happy girl.
