WIRELESS FROM A BALLOON.
Successful Experiments Made Wednesday
by the Assistant signal Omcor.


WASHINGTON, May 14.-Major Edgar
Russell assistant to the chief signal oiiioer
Of the army. who was one Of the passengers
in the Signal Corps balloon which made a
flight yesterday from Washington TO Pa
tuIent. Md, said to-day that the wireless
experiments conducted during the flight
were highly successful and will be con-
tinued
'Ithink that can safely predict. he said,
'that wireless telegraphy to and from a
balloon can be used In war This means
that am sure that we will shortly perfect
an apparatus that can be safely and sue
cessfully used In both receiving and sending
messages from a balloon to any station
within a radius Of many miles. Yesterday
we carried only receiving apparatus, and
this worked perfectly. We did not try to
send for fear Of the danger that lies In
sparks from the sending instrument. When
up over Washington we could receive from
the Annapolis station clearly
THE apparatus we used was just the
reverse Of the ordinary type Of wireless
station. Instead Of erecting the sntenn@
on a tall mast we hung 1t down from the
basket. consequently the entire instrument
was in reverse Of the usual form. We
covered the basket with a wire netting
which took the place Of the usual counter
poise cables extending from the bottom Of
the mast in the ordinary mechanism.
A wireless telegraph system from bal
looms will undoubtedly prove most useful
in warfare. making the balloon fully 800
per cent. more effective in it's destined
work Of making reoonnoissanoes. With an
apparatus similar to the one We carried and
with the addition OF sending apparatus
a balloon could 90 up from the headquarters
tent on battle-ground and floating over the
enemys position give the commanding
oflcer exact details Of every move made
and every position, transmitting this in
formation direct through the headquarters

SECRETARY WILSON
TALK TO CHANGERS
TELLS STATE FARMERS THAT
MOVING CROPS ABROAD WOULD
PREVENT PANICS.

WEST CHESTER, Dec. 12.-That
the way to prevent financial panics
is to take steps to move our surplus

ney stringency impossible, was pro-
posed by James Wilson, Secretary of
Agriculture of the United States. in
speech tonight before members of
the State Grange, Patrons of Hus-

bring in $4,OOO,OOO a day"
Secretary Wilson's speech was de.
livered at a banquet which came as
the browning event of the most sue
cessful convention of the Pennsylva-
MIA farmers organization with 1900
delegates and friends, as guests of
the Sharpless Separator Company.
The dinner followed a business ses-
sion in which the Governor and Le-
gislature were accused of failure to
keep pledges; demands made for equ1-
table taxation; insistence upon just
national oleomargarine law; better
administration of the State Highway
Department and more money for
schools.
Through the agencies put into be-
ing" continued Mr.. Wilson, every
foot of arid land in the United States
will be made to grow something.
Through the departments effort we
are now growing SOO,O00,0O0 pounds
of rice in the Gulf States and ship
ping rice to the Orient; we are max
ing 100000 tons more of beet sugar
every year than We ever made be-
fore, and we have helped to make it
possible for our agricultural surplus
to pay the expenses of the National
Government We are even making
the wild cacti furnish milk. butter
and" beef"
Mr.. Wilson advocated irrigation for
Pennsylvania, and said that with such
methods rightly applied the State
could be made to blossom like a rose.
The Secretary of Agriculture de-
Tended the acquisition of the Philip
pines and declared that the islands
would. through the efforts now being
made by the department, soon supply
the United States with coffee, rubber,
spices and fibres He prophesied that
the Philippines would in short time
be the richest of the country's pos
sessions.
Senator Penrose, who was enthu-
siastically received, declared in his
opening sentences that President
Roosevelt was the champion of the
common people. He praised Secre-
tary Wilson, and said that more had
been done for agriculture been per-
formed in the 5000 years previous to
that period.
The Senator pledged himself for a
new oleomargarine bill and promised
to fight to the finish for an honest
measure, and to promulgate other re-
forms demanded by farmers.
1T was my pleasure" he said TO
