coil made on the same plan will trans
nit 20 miles or even more under fa-
Norable conditions.
Change the coil described as fol-
lows: Insert an ordinary telegraph
key in the battery circuit, and attach
two small pieces OF wire with a brass
ball on each, by inserting them in the
binding-posts of the coil as shown at

wires one is grounded to earth, while
the other wire is sent aloft and is
called the aerial line. This consti,

Now for the receiving apparatus. In
the earlier receiving instruments a CO.
herer was used, consisting of a glass
tube about one-eighth inch diameter,
in which were two silver pistons sepa-
rated by nickel and silver filings, in a
partial vacuum. This receiver was diff
ficult of adjustment and slow in trans
mission. An instrument much less
complicated and inexpensive and

TWAS IN 'TATER TIME.
One Thing, at Least, the Mother Was
Positive About.

The late Senator Platt of Connec-
ticut enjoyed funny stories and could
tell a good many himself. Notwith-
standing his long public life, he al
ways remembered yarn that he car
Tied from his school days.
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one OF the teach
ers, in making a record OF the ages
OF her pupils, as required by law,
found that one little girl, who came
from q family not noted for being
especially bright, was unable to say
when her birthday came.
So in order to complete her records,
the teacher walked two miles to see
the girls mother one afternoon after
school. Asked if she could remem-
ber just when her daughter was born,
the woman thought for some little
time, and then with a sort OF puz-
zled look, said:
We'll, the gal was born in 'tater
time. that's sure, but i can't member
whether they was a-plantin' on 'em

FAMILY FOOD.
Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No
Cooking.

A little boy down in N. C. asked his
| mother to write an account of how
Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam
lily
She says Grape-Nuts was first
| brought to her attention on visit to
Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food by
the advice Of his physician. She
says:
They derive so much good from it
that they never pass a day without
using it. While l was there | used the
Food regularly. l gained about IS
pounds and felt so we'll that when l re-
turned home began using Grape Nuts
in our family regularly.
MY little IS months old baby short
ly after being weaned was very i'll
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and we tried every
thing. She became so emaciated that
1T was painful to handle her and we
thought we were going to lose her.
One day happy tho hit urged me to
try Grape-Nuts soaked in little warm
milk.
We'll, it worked like a charm and
she began taking it regularly and i'm
provement set in at once. She is now
getting well and round and fat as fast
as possible on Grape-Nuts.
Sometime ago several of the family
were stricken with LaGrippe at the
same time, and during the worst stages
we could not relish anything in the
shape of food but Grape-Nuts and
oranges. everything else nauseated us.
I'VE all appreciate what your fa-
nous food has done for our family"

Sodium for Electric Uses.

Sodium is an excellent conductor of
electricity, and in view of the increas-
ing price of copper and the growing
demand for that metal not only for
electric installations, but for many
other purposes, the idea has been
broached that sodium should be tried
as material for electric cables Ex
periments looking to this end have
lately been made by Mr.. A. G. Bett
He filled an iron tube 100 feet in
length with melted sodium. The core
thus formed had a cross-section of an
inch and half. A current of 500 am
peres was readily transmitted through
it, Mr.. Bett thinks that sodium CON
ductors constructed upon this plan
may be made cheaper than conductors
of copper.

The aerial line. No. stranded, is
run from binding-post through the
choking or tuning coil, and for best
results should extend up 30 ft. in the
air. TO work a 20-mile distance the
line should be 100 or $50 ft. above
the ground. A good way is to erect
wooden pole on a house or barn
and carry the aerial wire to the top

TO the end of the aerial wire fasten
bunch of endless loops made of
about No. II magnet wire (bare or
insulated), attaching both ends to the

Development of Electric Road.

The electric railway had many "in-
ventors" s"-persons who by various i'm
provements brought the system to its
present usefulness. Thomas Daven-
port, blacksmith of Brandon, Vt, is
credited with having first suggested
the electric railway, although an Ital-
ian priest, Able Salvatore Del Negro,
professor of natural history at the
University of Padua, is reputed to
have designed an electric toy traction
machine of the reciprocating type in
1890. Davenport ran a toy motor
mounted on wheels on a small circu-
lar railway in 1894, exhibiting this
year later at Springfield and Boston,
Mass About half a century passed,
however. before the electric railway
was made practical for present uses.

DID THE RESTORER
VIOLATE A LAW?

1t was rumored yesterday that the
British cable steamer Restorer was to
be prosecuted for violation of the con-
tract labor provision of the immigra-
ton laws. The alleged ground was
her bringing two cable operators from
British Columbia, one for the Homo
lulu office of the Commercial Pacific
Cable Co. and the other for the Guam
station. One of the gentlemen is an
Englishman and the other a Nova
Scotian.
At the headquarters of the United
States District Court nothing was
known of such a suit late in the af-
ternoon District Attorney Breckons
had left his office early, nothing being
doing in court yesterday.
An outside opinion, held by differ
ent persons discussing the rumor, was
that it would probably be difficult 20
make out case of violation of the law
with regard to the two operators. Inc
Mackay Companies in New York con-
troll cables in the Atlantic as well as
that of the c. p. G. Co., and operators
are frequently transferred from one
station to another within the general
system. If these operators, as is prob
able, were not originally employed In
Canada for the Honolulu and Guam
stations, but merely ordered thereto,
| it was heard argued, they were not
| brought in under the inducement or
labor contract but as matter of the
routine of their regular employment
One citizen was indignant at the bare
idea of a prosecution, saying the cable
company would be justified in such ar
event in reprisals that would worn
great inconvenience to this communl'
ty. He said it would be an ungratefu
requital of the service rendered by the
company the time of the San Francis
| So disaster.
