French engineers have lately made
successful tests of wireless telegraphy
between the lofty observatories on the
crown of Mont Blanc and the Valley
of Chamonix. 1t had been feared
that the absence of moisture in the
frozen surface might interfere with
the earth connection, but no such
trouble was experienced. The only
difficulty arose when the alternating
current .dynamos of the electric light
system in Chamonix were at work
At such times the wireless messages
could not be transmitted nor received.
An S0.000-volt electrical trans
former was recently installed at
Butte, Montana, for the local lighting
and power company, the distance over
which the current is transmitted be-
Ing sixty miles. During the insula-
tion tests of the transformer the VOLT
age was run up to 100000, and at
this pressure an arc was formed be-
tween the ends of the cables and the
transformer tank, over distance of
five or six feet. But India rubber
disks fixed on the cable terminals pre-
vented the formation of the arc.
When $4,000 volts are used there
is no brush discharge, and the disks
are not needed.

Unprecedented Demand for That
Kind Of Musical Instruments.

At more or less regular periods certain
class or kind of musical instruments looms big
in popularity. and manufacturers keep their ears
to the ground carefully do politicians, to
be prepared TO jump at the first outbreak There
will be a season, experience has taught them,
when the piano, which always, of course, will
remain chief in popularity, takes sudden strides
in the matter of demand and sale. Then some
other instrument will have the call for a time.
Just now manufacturers say there is an un-
usual demand for stringed instruments of all
kinds from the always popular violin up and
down the wide range of manufacture, and this
demand for the instruments is reflected in the
demand for stringed instrument instruction re-
ported at the studios. 1t seems that every
musicalIy inclined person has suddenly dis
covered the joy and delight given by the vibrat
ing strings and well seasoned wood or prop
erly CONSTRUCTED metal. Many men skilled in
other branches of the musical art have found
that the lighter instruments afford amusement
entertaining alike to themselves and their
friends.
This demand for string instruments the man
slfac.u:ers say is not confined to any section or
city but comes from all the country and
from al classes of people. 1t is freely predicted
by them that the sale OF string instruments

Mr.. G. Erlebacher was for many years
manager of the ladies' cloak and suit
department in one of Baltimore's largest
stores. Mrs. G. Erlebacher occupied a
like position in Washington department

Judge Window wanted some stronger
proof than what Ockerman had told him
and asked If he had any witnesses to the
killing. Ockerman called Jim Starbuck.

career of the beast, and asked him to
tell the Judge whether the dog was yet in

well, how do l know that to be a
fact?" asked Judge Window.
There's what did the work." answered
Starbuck, fiourishing an empty cartridge
in front of the judge.
Let me smell it," said Judge Window
The empty cartridge was handed to the
Judge. who took one Whit of the freshly
burned powder and decided that the dog
was no more.

Because he was able to show that his
wife, Caroline, had six other husbands.
John d. Perry, mechanic of Newton.

cree annulling his marriage contract.
Mrs. Perry's scheme was UNIQUE. She
married Perry. who was third on her
list. in 1905. She said she was in the en-
ploy of the government as a secret serv-
ice agent of the Post Office Department.
In that way she was able to visit her
husbands on the ground that her absence
from home was on a secret mission
Perry did not suspect until he followed
his wife to Des Moines. and there met a
man named Carlson. from Canada, who
was looking for the same Caroline. The
husbands compared notes and Perry's suit
was the result.
