Successful experiments in sending tel

waves over a distance of forty kilo-
meters, nearly twenty-five miles, were
made recently by Professor Slaby. The
messages were transmitted between
Berlin and Nauen, and Professor Slaby
says that no approach to 80 great a
distance has ever before been tried
Words and sentences were sent and re-
peated back with great distincmess.
The success of the experiments is
ascribed to the isolation OF the micro

foreign vibrations. Further expert
ments are awaited with much interest.

Shr1ek1ng Mandrake.
In medieval days the mandrake was
supposed to shrek or groan when up
rooted, the following lines are taken
from the Oldest witchsong extant:
II last night lay all alone
On the ground to hear the mandrake
groan,
And plucked him up though he grew
full low,
And as 50 did, the cock did crow!"
The shrieks Of the mandrake were
supposed to be 30 horrible that those
hearing them went mad. 1t was Gus
tomary, therefore, in gathering the
plant not only to employ dog but
also to stuff tow In the ears. This Gu
rious notion was explained by Newton
in his Herbal to the Bible by the
fact that the mandrake was popularity
supposed to grow spontaneously under
gallows, engendered by the decom-
posed body Of the hanged man and
was therefore endowed with the spirit
OF the culprit. It seems probable, how
ever, that by some mental twist, the
shrieks had become transferred to the
plant from those delirious with IT.

There was nothing to do. Audrey fell

consequences. Jean sent at once for Lord
Glendurwood and Fullerton, and he came
in hot haste from vain search for Bev-

In order to raise chickens success
fully it is very essential TO begin with
eggs which will batch well and produce
strong. vigorous chicks. IL the germs
are naturally weak. no amount of atten
ton and good care during the incuba
ton of the eggs and the brooding Of
the chicks will make up for the original
lack OF vigor. In spite Of all that can
be done the hatch will be poor If the
germs are weak, and many of the
chicks which do hatch will die. AS one
cannot determine by an examination
of the unincubated egg whether the
germ is strong or weak, the only thing
that can be done in practice is to Sc
lect the breeding stock with such care
and give it such attention that eggs
suitable for Matching must Of necessity
result-Bulletin West Virginia Station.

Where the breeder regularly disinfects
his houses and lots he will find that it
is we'll nigh impossible to properly dis
infect the dirt floor. and it is almost
impossible TO keep the bed clean and

On the other hand, disinfecting can be
easily and successfully done where the

Claimed Traction Officials Are
DispIeased With Condi-
ton of 23rd Street.
ADOPT POLICY OF DELAY.
INTIMATED THAT THEY HAVE
HOPE OF PROFITING BY HANG
ING UP THE SITUATION AN IN
Definite PERIOD.

The steep and curved grade from
North E to North Twenty-thir street,
is the reason assigned by traction Off
Gals for the refusal of the traction
company to consider the proposition
made by the board of public works to
run the freight houte alonf Twenty
third street.
Traction officials state that this
grade would be great handicap in
running heavy laden freight cars. This
and not spite, because the citizens OBJ
jected to the use of North Twentieth
street for a freight route, the traction
officials state, influenced General Man
ager Reynolds in turning down the
proposed Twenty-third street route.
Loath to Leave Main.
1t is generally known, that despite
the praises made by President Meow
an of the north end freight route, that
the traction officials are loath to aban-
don Main street as a route to operate
the freight cars through the city. The
building of the proposed north end line
would mean considerable expenditure
of money, as tracks would have to be
ldiu Tic SISdCcI pdic VI tuC way anu
besides the present freight station
would have to be abandoned and a new
one built.
A Policy of Delay.
At the last meeting of council trac-
ton representatives present noted
that some of the councilmen favored
the operation of freight cars on Main
street, and it is believed that the trac-
tion men are of the opinion that if they
hold out long enough on the PROPOSE
ton of running freight cars on North
Twenty third street, the company will
eventually be permitted by council to
operate under a franchise which will
allow it to use Main street for freight
service. The traction men, it is stat
ed believe that if the traction deadlock
is delayed a little longer. local shippers
despite their statement that they will
back the board in its stand, will be-
come impatient and ask the council 20
pass an ordinance permitting the COM
pany to use Main street for its freight
service.
Study Will Try Again.
City Attorney Study will endeavor
to secure another meeting with Presi-
dent MCGOWAN and he has hope that
Mr.. MCGOWAN can be influenced to &C
cept a franchise for the company which
will stipulate that freight cars shall be
run over the north end route voted
for by the citizens of this city.
