TESSLA'S LATEST DREAM.
A Swiftwinsed Messenger which May Make
the world Neifhbors,

NikOla Tessla announces that with
the cooperation of the power producing
at Niagara Falls he is pre-
pairing to send a wireless message to
Mars. The gulf varies from 10000, 900
to 100,000.000 miles. Once that this
has been accomplished and Mars, which
Is supposedly more advanced in science
than the world. has acknowledged the
receipt Of the signal, and sent back
flash by flash it will then be in order
to devise an interplanetary code. When
Shakespeare spoke Of girding the earth
in forty seconds in the Midsummer
Nights Dream" he little thought it
would be eventually accomplished by
the telegraph in less time. When Jules
Verne sent his imaginary traveller
around the world in 80 days he did not
believe that the earth could be circum-
navigated in forty, days, which has
been done by modern travellers. Co.
lumbus little dreamed. when he made
his first voyage across the Atlantic in
1892. which occupied him two months
and nine days. that modern steamers
would cross that great expanse of
waters in between four and five days.
When one of the planets gets between
the earth and sun it casts a shadow
through vast distances Of space. If
the law of light and shadow operates
as readily through vast distances as
well as it does in few feet of space
what reason is there for doubling that
electrical energy. provided the initial
impulse given it is strong enough. can
not be thrown from the earth to the
planet Mars through from 4O,O00.OO0 to
100, 100000 miles of space. The main
thing is to have the initial energy suf
ficiently strong to start 1t and keep it
going on its long journey till it reaches
it's destination. The dream of Tessla
in time may become an accomplished
fact.

The Telephone Mitifates Insanity.

Quite often 1t is stated that the
hurry and worry Of modern life are re.
sponsible for great deal of iunacy.
A curious commentary on this theory
is seen In the statement of a physician
that the telegraph and the telephone
especially the latter-are preventatives
Of insanity. Referring to the well.
known fact that a great deal Of mental
disease Is the outcome OF the dull,
monotonous lives of people In remote
country districts. the authority points
out that the linking up Of these places
with the buster centers has brought
activity where otherwise mental stag.
nation would have prevailed. This is
said to be especially the case in rural
districts. where statistics prove the
rate Of insanity has steadily decreased
with the extension of the telephone
system.

A NATURE STORY.
1t Surely Seems that Truth Is Sometimes
STRANGER than Fiction.

1t Surely Seems that Truth Is Sometimes
Stranger than Fiction.
We read in the papers that a vessel
which recently hove into port on the
eastern coast had quite an experience
on Cape Hatteras. AS the good ship
was steaming merrily along. yo heave
yO, about 10 o'clock in the morning.
the lookout spied large whale on the
track ahead. The whale was sixty
feet long if he was an inch. The good
ship bore down on him and cut him
smack in two in the middle. and the
dispatch explains that "one half dis
appeared on the port side and the
other half on the starboard side"
In order to determine whether or
not this alleged incident is mathemat-
ically possible We must first know
whether the dissection was transverse
or longitudinal. Did the good ship
merely amputate him at the waist line
or did it split him from steam to gudg-
con, yo no. after the fashion of a rip
saw? That's what we must know in
order to get at the mathematics of the
case. Also, what was the lubber do
ing on the track at that hour (blast
his toplightso? Did he think he was
dealing with U. p train that wouldn't
be along for nine hours vet2
The trouble with so many of these
nature stories is that they are not
definite and certain. 1t would give us
considerable pleasure to call somebody
liar on this occasion, but how can
you when the allegations are so vague
and incomplete?

THE REc0RD-LIMIr IN MARRIAGE.
Twenty Thousand Persons Married by One
Coremony

Twenty Thousand Persons Married by One
Ceremony.
The biggest wedding ever known to
history vas when Alexander the Great
and over 10000 of his soldiers took
part in wedding in the court Of Dar-
ius. King of Persia, after the latter's
conquest by Alexander. twenty-five
thousand two hundred and two persons
were made husbands and wives in one
ceremony.
The facts are these, says the Chicago
Tribune. After conQuering King Dar-
ius, Alexander determined to wed Sta
tiro, daughter of the conquered King.
and issued decree that on that oc-
casiOn 100 of his chief officers should
marry 100 women from the noblest
Persian and Medean families. He
further stipulated that 10000 of his
Greek soldiers should take to wife
10000 Asiatic women.
For this purpose a vast pavilion was
erected. the pillars being sixty feet
high. One hundred gorgeous chambers
adjoined this for the 100 noble bride
grooms, while for the 10000 soldiers
an outer court was inclosed. Outside
of this tables were spread for the multi
tude.
Each pair had seats and ranged
themselves In a semicircle around the
royal throne AS 1t would have taken
several weeks for the few priests to
have married this vast number of
couples had the ceremony been per.
formed in the ordinary way. Alexander
invented a simple way ont of the diff
Guilty. He gave his hand to Statiro and
kissed her. and all the remaining bride,
grooms did the same to women beside
them, and thus ended the ceremony
that united the greatest number of peo-
pie at one time ever known.
Then occurred five days festival,
which for grandeur and magnificence
never has since been equaled.

A LESSON IN FINANCE.
How q Depositor Was Enlightened as to tn
Sinuosities of the BANKING System,
Lincoln Commener.


For many years We had longed to
be financier, but our education was
sadly neglected, hence we have al
ways been compelled to work. But
finally We decided to take some les
sons.
The first step to take" said our
instructor. who is also banker, lis to
establish confidence"
"Uh-huh." We replied
That means that you should deposit
your money in the bank, trusting to
the bank and the banker"
"Uh-huh!" was our reply as we noted
the fact down.
Then with the money you deposit
We will purchase some United States
bonds, so you will have plenty of Sc
curity for your deposit. See?"
"Uh-huh!"
Then we will keep the money We
paid for the bonds in our own vaults
as government deposit, putting up
some collateral in the shape of stock
in the X, Y. & Y. railroad and the
Aurora & Borealis Steamship line That
will enable us to keep plenty of cur
rency on hand to loan 10 our custom
ers. See?"
'"Uh-huh!"
Then, when We get the bonds we
will deposit them with the govern
ment treasurer and get notes issued
thereon, and then We can lend the
notes out to good advantage to those
who are seeking to enlarge their bust
nes enterprises. Note the beneficent
result?"
"Uh-huh!"
Then, when you deposit your money
in the bank, it will be stored away and
you will have to kiss 1t goodbye and
accept certificates. You see by that
means it is quite safe. and useful as
we'll in promoting enterprises and the
general welfare.
We said "Uh-huh" again and left the
august presence of our instructor. fully
inspired with the retrospection that
tends to make money for those who
have money from the money of others
who have little money.
When this lesson is thoroughly d.
gested. will go back. or probably be-
fore. to see when our note falls due
and save costs.

Delicious Uses for Honey.


Honey should take the part of sugar
on bread, as a sweet that children so
crave. 1t would also in this manner
supply the craving for candy. People
who have cultivated a taste for honey
in their coffee and tea as sweetener
declare it gives fine flavor.
Honey is far more wholesome in
made dishes than sugar, and if any Ill
effects follow the use of sugar honey
will be found an excellent antidote.
White clover honey has the finest
flavor. Buckwheat honey is darker,
less attractive and rather cloying.
Honey will not become tiresome
sweet if used in many different ways.
An excellent relish is made by dipping
half slices of stale bread into a mixture
made of cupful of milk, one beaten
egg-aS for custard-a pinch of salt
and two tablespoonfuls of honey. Dip
the slices of bread in this and brown
quickly on both sides, using bacon or
ham fat to fry in. Serve with honey
or butter.
For an omelet nothing can compare
with honey. Make a plain omelet,
using water in place of milk, as it al
ways makes an omelet more tender.
Cook in the usual manner, pour over
it stream of honey while piping hot,
and serve at once. AS hot griddle-
cakes are served, spread each with
honey, and fold over like an omelet.
Honey may take the place of sugar
almost entirely in cake. To cupful of
flour use two tablespoonfuls of sugar
and three of honey. This amount of
sweetening will be equal to the usual
cupful of sugar allowed to a cupful of
flour in cake making. With this differ
ence only the cake recipe selected may
be copied in full.
A delicious filling for layer cake or
short cake is made with honey. Blend
half cupful each of sugar and honey
with two tablespoonfuls of water. Heat
over the fire and stir in the stiffly
whipped white Of an egg. When the
mixture forms thread (Which it will
do in few minutes. boiling) remove
from the fire and beat constantly until
cold; it will be soft and thick like
cream

JEFFERSON'S WARNING.
1t Seems. from the Present Trend. to Par

take Of Prophecy.
And now comes Federal judge
and with a strike of his pen. without
knowledge of the facts. acting merely
on an eT pdrtc statement of the inter

all the railroad laws recently enacted
by the Legislature of Alabama in a
special session called together for that
purpose.
Is it strange that the Democratic
protest against government by injunc-
tiOn is spreading, until it will soon be
the protest of an entire people Is it
thinkable that a free republic will con-
corporations to defy the powers of the
States because of the writ of injunction
in the hands of some compliant and
grateful judge; judge who. in many
if not most cases. was corporation at
tOrney before he was Federal judge.
and who owes to corporation influence
his promotion to his present position?
And is it strange that such mon
strous abuses of judicial power should
lead the people to inquire more closely
into the entire judicial system of the
country. and ask themselves for what
BILE Federal judges. appointed for life.
the power to override Legislatures.
Governors. Congress. the President,
and the people themselves. who are the
source of all power
Professor Giddings of Columbia uni
versity, eminent as sociological author
ity, in an article in the current number
of Van NOrden's magazine, cites the
record to show that the constitutional
convention Of 1897 had no intention of
reposing this vast power in the judici-
airy. and that four times IL voted down
the proposition that the Supreme Court
be permitted to pass on the constitu-
tiOnality of bills prior to thier enact
ment. And nowhere in the cOnstitu-
tiOn. he points out. Is there a line or a
word specifically authorizing the courts
to nullify legislation. This is a power
they have usurped to themselves by
constitutional cOnstruction-they doing
the constituting.
Professor Giddings advocates, that in
the event Congress and the President
have passed a law, thus asserting their
belief in its constitutionality. and the
Supreme Court has held it unconstitu-
tional, the dispute be referred to the
ultimate and supreme power-the peo-
pie themselves-for adjudication. And
the American Federation of Labor, in
its convention that has just adjourned,
has demanded constitutional amend
ment that will permit the Supreme
Court to override an act OF Congress
only by unanimous vote. Thus Is the
leaven working. Scholars at one end
and wOrkingmen at the other are awak-
ing to the meaning of Thomas Jeffer-
sons solemn warning that in the
usurpation OF judicial power dwelt the
danger that would finally threaten
American selfgovernment.
