means of communication has been es-
tablished.
1t is found that the conductivity of
growing tree in healthy state, for
telephone currents, is such that the
earth contact nail need not be at the
root of the tree but may be carried
to a height up the tree of 80 feet or
more, and the telephone used from
that elevation with satisfactory re-
suits.
Indeed. experiment shows that good
communication can be maintained
from one tree top to another with the
trunks of both trees in the circuits ;,
When the operator holds the groHnd
wire in the hand and completes the
circuit to earth by merely touching a
live twig or leaf the transmission Of
speech is good.
This permits the military scout TO
use the vantage point OF the tree ele-

being screened from view by its foil

TREE TELECRAMS.
Army officer Finds That the Leaves
and Branches Aid in Wireless
Communication.

United States government experts
every tree possesses the properties es-
sential to a wireless telegraph station.
The leafy tops Of the forest kings
have in them the capacity to collect
messages from the air
Along the branches to the parent
trunk the message can be flashed with
the same certainty as though it came
on a wire, and an operator with his
device at the bottom can receive the
word just as readily as if he sat at the
keyboard of a regularly equipped tele-
graph office.
This is discovery of far-reaching
Importance, and one that is likely to
play a big part in the warfare of the
future. 1t means that Uncle Sam can
press into his. service as messengers
all the trees of the forests at will.
The advantages of such a system will
facilitate communication between
parts of an army to a degree I'M
dreamed Of
1t Is to Maj. George o. Squier that
the credit must go for putting to prac-
teal use the discovery that any or
binary healthy tree can be pressed
Into service in place Of a tower with
antennae of wires.
The experiments have been conduct
ed principally at Fort Mason, San
Francisco, Cal, where the United
States signal service has a wireless
station, and Alcatraz island, San Fran
cisco bay, another wireless station of
the signal corps, about a mile and a
half away.
Later the naval wireless station at
Yerba Buena island was used.
A grove OF eucalyptus trees on the
lawn In front of Gen. MacArthur's
quarters at Fort Mason was utilized
as receiving station.
This part of California. in common
with many other points in the west,
has seasons when the soil becomes so
dry that it is difficult, almost impos-
sible, TO use the ordinary single wire

is taken in making the ground.
Herein rests the great advantage of
the tree method of establishing the
circuit. II is only a matter of a few

A New Motor Roadwav.

A roadway or track for motor-pro-
PEELED vehicles has been invented re-
Gently by DR.. Il. A. Johnson, of Xenia,
H., which promises a valuable means
Of transportation. 1t consists of two
parallel tracks of concrete, formed so
as TO present an outer fiange, and a
broad treadway With strengthening
rib running down into the ballast,
which has been rolled firmly in the
bitches previously excavated. This
roadway is designed for motor vehicles,
both passenger and freight, the cars
having rubber tires. The track can be
used as a toll line for automobiles. The
inventor has also a device which can
be attached to the steering Tugs of the
vehicle, preventing contact of tires
with fanges, and obviating steering by
motorman.

Four Pounds a Year.

During the year 1899 two muskalIunge
weighing II pounds each were placed in
one of the lakes of New Jersey. where
none OF the species was known to exist.
Four years later an angler caught a mus
kallunge in the same lake. 1t weighed
% pounds. Ii, as was supposed, none OF
the species was to be found there, the
one caught must have beer one of the
two which were placed there four years
previously. This being the case, the
specimen taken by the angler had in
creased in weight at the rate of four
pounds each year, a very good growth.
Evidently there was an abundance of
food in the lake. which was well suited
to the muskallunge.-L. A. Spencer, in
