cradle distances without losing any

Having made this demonstration, Mr..
Poulsen undertook to improve his ap-

creased the length of the line over
which he held conversations with his
assistants.
Finally, he had come to have so
much confidence in his system that he
undertook the risk of trying to speak
over a distance of $50 English riies
that being the distance from Lyngby
10 Weisensee, near Berlin When Mr.
Poulseu, at his station at Lyngby,
clearly heard the voices of his assist
ants and understood distinctly all that
they were saying to him from their
station at Weisensee, he was over
joyed. There was a perfect exchange
of conversation between the two sta
tons.
The difference between the spark
undamped wireless waves accounts for
the great result which Mr. Poulsen has
achieved. Mr.. Poulsen himself defines
the difference as follows:
"The wireless sparks are to be COM
pared to the shell from a big gun.
When fired, you get an enormous
blow like that caused by an explosion,

short time, the undamped waves
produce sort of singing vibration OF
enormous rapidity, and they go on
their way around the globe with the
same force as that with which they
leave the transmitting apparatus.
Nothing can stop them, not even
the highest mountain. They cannot
go through the mountain, but they go
singing over it, and then pass along
until they reach the receiving appara-
tus to which they are appointed.
1T will be easier for the waves to
cross the Atlantic, and of course the
North sea, than to go from Weisensee
to Lyngby. The station at I.vngby is
unfortunately situated for wireless
telephone conversation, especially with
the station at Weisensee, which also
is badly situated and equipped
Valdemar Poulsen, who is only 3S
years DID, is the son Of judge in the
high criminal court of Copenhagen.
He is a very modest man and has not
as yet developed any business in his
telephone work. He is singularly
silent man, but when anyone ex-
presses an interest in his work he is
willing to explain 1t to him to the best
of his ability and with never-failing
enthusiasm.

REAL UTOPIA FOUND.
PARAGUAY, SOUTH AMERICA.
OFFERS GREAT INDUCEMENTS.
In This Land OF Plenty Cattle Are to
Be Bought for Song and the
Latest Man Can Earn Seven

America, is to be the real Utopia, II
the plans of the Universal Co-opera-
tive brotherhood, which is at work
in this city gathering in sympathizers,
is successfully carried out.
Talk about your seventh heaven
of delight" for the workingman! Els
piranza city, on the beautiful slopes
of the Parana valley, bids fair to be
the tenth, or aven twentieth heaven,
If there Is really any possibility of
reaching such summit. But list to
the announcement of the brother
hoods plans, as contained in vol
luminous pamphlet on the new system
of living" for which prospective CO.
operator pays one dollar, and which
the brotherhood officers say contains
information worth $4,000.
After pointing out the fact that If
the Pilgrim fathers had sent out some
pioneers to Parana they would never
have made the mistake of landing on
the bleak spot known as Plymouth
Harbor," the high-sounding phrases In
the announcement paint glowing pic
ture of the wonders of the Parana re-
gion, where the new model city Is to
be built whenever the promoters get
together enough men and women to
start the thing going.
1t tells OF thousands of cattle to be
had almost for the asking, and of the
wonderful vegetation that abounds-
all waiting for some one with milk

Prospective members of the colony
are told that they need not work more
than seven hours day, and after a
while only five days week in order to
earn the regulation seven dollars

with a red border on it, on which it
was set forth that the contents were
"old French brandy of 1857. Pre-
sented to the Sanitary Fair by II, j.
de Pyster."
The bottle had been purchased by
a relative of Mr.. Dryden at the fair,
which was organized TO raise funds
for soldiers wounded in the civil
war.
The cork was surmounted by a
cockade of pink ribbon, and around
the neck was a band of green fringe,
which, low descending, swept the bot
ties aged breast.
Mr.. Dryden took the box to the cafe
of Emil Struever. at SIG Broadway,
where 1t was placed in the window for
exhibition.
Several offers have been made for
the bottle, but the highest, $3.50, has
been refused, the owner declaring that
ES would not think of disposing OF
such an heirloom.

This Is how the brotherhood figures
the financial scheme Of the Utopia
will adjust itself:
"On an average one man, with the
aid of modern machinery, will produce
at least $40 of new wealth each day,
or $4,000 each year Thus 1000 men
will produce at least 100000 worth
each year. Allowing that two-thirds
of this wealth Is consumed by the
workers and their families, there will
still remain $1,O00,00O to be added to
the collective capital each year.
Thus, in five years, our society will be

$5.0O0,000
