 to take over the De Forest and Mar conf interests, by Don Giovanni dei
 Principe del Drago. The Prince del Drago is a friend and countryman of Marconi, whose name is insepara- bly connected with wireless teleg- raphy. 'I am glad to be connected with an enterprise which promises to accomplish so much in a field where my compatriot. M. Marconi, has been so prominent" said the prince recently. ''I consider the pos abilities of wireless have scarcely been developed as yet. New inven- tions are coming out all the time, and what has been done will doubt less be far surpassed in the future.

New York is developing Roman fondness for, and familiarity with, wild and tame animals, says the New York Globe. You notice it in the news columns of the daily papers. A six-toed cat, an intelligent dog that barks when he smells escaping gas, a parrot that cries fire" at the psycho- logical moment, race horse that dies in his prime, all are good for a column apiece, while the life story of mere philanthropist or politi- clan is crowded into a two-stick obituary notice. The bulk of menag- erie news printed every week here is imposing, and it is growing. The re- porter who can write local jungle tale" in the correct vernacular is be- coming a positive necessity. By and by perhaps we may have a daily newspaper devoted to doings in the local jungle land.

POST OFFICE BOXES.
Uniform Prices Will Prevail After
 First of Year.

Washington, Dec 1.--An order has been issued by First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock, ef- fective January 1. looking toward the adoption of uniform rates of rent for boxes in post offices. The revised rates will affect every post office in the United States.
 The new schedule adopts as the minimum rate for small call boxes in small fourth class post oflices the amount (10 cents) per quarter, now generally charged. From this figure the rates advance according to a carefully graduated scale until they reach a charge for small lock boxes, at once post office (New York city) of $4 quarter, the amount now charged at that office.
 While set rates will be revised others will be considerably lowered, the aim being to correct inequalities and at the same time to produce an average approximate to that of the rates now in force.

Advances in wages granted by railroads and a number of large in- dustrial concerns are exceedingly gratifying to employees. and perfect Iv satisfactory to employers as long as present conditions last, says Bank CT Clewes. but the high cost of labor and material of all kinds is exercis- ing a growing restraint upon new enterprise and more or less uneasi- ness regarding the future. The im- mediate outlook. however. is for con tinued activity. and should we be favored by still another good har- vest the year 1907 may prove as sat- isfactory a one as the year about to expire. A poor harvest. however, in 1907 would surely bring a reaction. The annual report of Secretary Will son of the department of agriculture shows how important an element the farmer is. For the current year h, estimates the value of farm pfoduets in the United States at ss.7s4. .000.- GOO. which is SASS, ,pco.OOe greater than a year ago. This gain was made in spite of a drop of sIO.OoO.- 600 in cereal crops. AS the latter showed a gain of 1z0.0Oo.OOo bush els in quantity. the decline in value was of course due to lower prevail ing market prices The increase in the total value of farm products was more due to a rise in the value of meat products and animals than the gain in quantity of numbers The prosperity of the farmer is well understood subject: and it is vorth keeping in mind that our manufsc- turss are now valued at more than double the farmers product Besides ve are making vastly more rapid progre~ in nanufseturs than ia e. gi<slt.rA

 It is true. yet possibly of no conse- quence, that Mir Hughes will enter the office of governor of New York without the slightest experience as a politician and an office holder.

ONE MORE USE FOR sEAwEED.

 ron and Is Called Ceatron.
 Seattle. Dec 1.-Another use has been discovered for seaweed. It Is hereafter to be used as a delicacy. The Christmas puddings of coming holi- day times will be made palatabie with expurgated essence of seakeed In the grocery stores 1t will be h. beled "ceatron." But the grocer probably will give 1t to you when you ask for citrOn. Exit the citron, enter the seaweed ceatron.
 A company has been organized which will make ceatron at Ballard. suburb of Seattle The inventors of the process are Theodore c. Frye and Carl E. Magnussen, professors at the University of Washington. The cea- tron, and the process of manufacture will be Interestingly shown at the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition which Is to be held in Seattle in 1909, for the purpose of exploiting the little known resources of the Northland.
 The seaweed will be gathered in the summer time and dried on the shore, then stacked under shelter for some weeks until it becomes covered with white, saline etferverscencc. At this stage of the proceedings, the seaweed is known as kelp. The next step is to burn it. in a round. brick lined pit or kiln. and as the weed soft ems it is stirred with hot iron until 1t becomes a semi-t1uid mass. It is then cooled and broken into pieces, and 10, there you have \atron, and 1t would take. mighty good judge to. tell it from citron.
 When salt was dear, kelD used to. be valuable for soda. which was used in soap-inaking. Now soda can be made cheaper from salt Kelp is used extensively in the manufacture of Iodine and chloride of potassium. A ton of kelp yields eight pounds of iodine. These other uses of seaweed will be illustrated at the Alaska-Y Yu- kon Pacific exposition.

Estimate of Governorship.

As to the governors denial of designs on
the United States senatorship, which his
Tillman communication might have implied
because of it's embarrassment to Senator
Elk1ns. his word puts the rumor bureau out
OF commission. Dawson says he considers
the office of governor a higher one and of
more Importance, and he quotes a remark
Gov. White made to him when he was
urged to run for the Senate while still In
office as governor. This was to the effeCn
that man could not do his duty as gov
ernor II engaged In coddling other political
ambitions.
So the situation stands without a known
active rival to Senator Elkins within the
republican party. Only the future can tell
whether a change will develop. In the
meantime the influential republicans who
say they are for Elkns and at the same
time criticise him the railroad matter
explain that they are trying to force him
to change his attitude because of it's harm
to his party in his state.
