noys Invent own Mlreless.

Two Galveston, Texas, boys Roy
Clough and George Mckenzie Doug
las, have invented a wireless system
OF telegraph, using only crude ma
terlals, that enable them to receive
and transmit messages $50 miles.
When they began their experiments
about year ago they were about 10
years old, but they were enthusias-
tic students OF electricity. They had
never seen n wireless apparatus be-
fore, and knew of no other receiver
than the coherer. and they made one
| for themselves out of carbon grains.
They nailed tin can on the roof for
their antennae and made phone re-
oeiyer out OF an old hairpin box OF
one OF their mothers, and secured
bit OF platinum wire for II out OF
an old incandescent lamp. The solu-
tion for the receiyer was made out
OF the neck OF a bottle. which they
filled with n mixture of nitric acid.
glycerlne and water. A tifteen-foot
pole was then erected on the roof.
and two wires were led to lbs top.
With this crude apparatus they heard
the Galveston wireless station call
ing Southwest Pass. La, but though
they could hear this and other mes
sages. they could not send, but by
getting an induction coil that threw
a half-inch spark they were able to
send messages.
The young Inventors say they pro-
pose to so improve their apparatus
that the static electricity will make
no difference at all. and they Will
be able to work over land as easily
as owe water, without large
amount of energy and high poles.
The boys are evidently on the right
track to success In the electrical
field.

Clever with ths Cards.

Some years ago a certain county
Jail was undergoing extensive altera-
tions. during which time gang OF
pickpockets, four In number, were
arrested one market day. Owing to
the alterations the lot were confined
for time in one cell. but we're placed
under strict surveillance, the care OF
them being specially lntrusted to the
sergeant. The day after during his
rounds he spied them playing cards,
when he promptly opened the door
and summoned'a a fellow constable. on
whose arrival the cell and the pris-
oners were most carefully searched,
but no cards were found. However
the card playing still continued until
the day on which the pickpockets
were 10 be sent 10 the assizes for
trial. Then the superintendent,
very kind man and great fayorite
with every one. asked them as
favor 10 tell him where they had
hidden the cards. They told him that
as soon as the sergeant and his COM
rade entered their cell they stuck the
pack In his pocket and picked II
again before he left. as a proof OF
which they presented him with the
much used pack.-Pearson's weekly

One OF the most successful whole

OF regarding as his inferior any man
who was engaged in a business less
genteel, as he held, than his own.
In his employ was young Vermont

day a man from his native town who
was visiting the city called on him.

manners, but he had piled up a for

THE ADULTERATION OF
FLOUR IN FRANCE

Extraordinary discoveries were re-
Gently made at Toulouse, Saintes,
Agen, Bordeaux and other towns in
the south and southwest of France,
of the wholesale adulteration of
-four.
A considerable number of the in
habitants of the town of Condom
have for many weeks been suffering
from gastric disorders and serious
stomach complaints. The doctors
sought for the cause of this curious
epidemic, and attributed II to bread.
The bakers, by way of showing their
good faith, supplied samples OF the
bread the patients had eaten.
It was found to be heavily adul-
terated with tale, a mineral which Is
generally found In rough, brittle
crystals, which can be sliced with a
knife, the samples contained large
quantities of marble dust and sui
phate of baryta.
In quirles at Condom and other
places where the disease had appear
ed showed that the flour had in a
great many cases come from Tou-
louse, where It was found that sew
eral dealers were able to buy what
was apparently the finest white -four
very much under the average market
price. The Toulouse police raided
the premises of a wholesale Hour
dealer who had failed in business,
and discovered a large quantity OF
tale, and over 5000 letters from mil
lers and -four dealers containing or
ders for tale. The dealer was only
an agent for some tale works at Tar
ascon.
In consequence of these reyela-
tiops, twenty-three wholesale -four
dealers at st. Jean d'Angely, twenty
more at Saintes, and many others In
the towns of the south and southwest
OF France have been arrested. Every
possible precaution was taken to pre-
vent its being known that tale was
fused. The stun was sent in COM
paratlvely small quantities by round
about railway routes. and never ad-
dressed direct to the purchaser.

New Fra Ushered In.

We observe with satisfaction the
passing of the professional politician.
The era OF governmental control and
law enforcement Is ushered In by the
rise of manly men like La Toilette,
Folk, Hughes, Roosevelt; men born
with humanitarian hearts and daunt-
less courage,-men whose ambition
Il is to redress wrongs and punish
wrong-doers-men who shall put for
ever beyond the reach OF all the op-
portunities to crafty inordinate do
sire. That government is not best
which governs least.
"out from the hearts OF an out
ragged people comes a response; II Is
the welcome for the victor; he who
hath become himself-he who
thinketh OF his fellow.
"Shall we maintain our position
among the nations OF the earth? Let
us be worthy. Shall democracy, Inn
potent, bow TO indiyldualism? Let
us strive TO uphold II. When com
merclal slaughter shall cease, when
government shall function without
fear or favor, the fetish OF unre-
strieted individualism shall have van
lshed In the night"
