Sent to Jail.

BELLINGHAM, May S.-For the
first time in the history of Whatcom
county, so far as the records indicate,
two boys have been sentenced to the
county Jail for burglaries instead OF
the state training school or the re-
formatory. They are Bunnie konnerup
and Floyd F'arr and must serve four
months each for the theft of electrical
apparatus which they declared they
intended to use in fitting up a wire
less telegraph station. The boys were
arrested several days ago and today
entered pleas of guilty. Instead of the
usual training school sentences they
were surprised to hear the court say
four months at hard labor

school education and then went to
Columbia Grammar school a few
years. At IS years of age he began to
take care of himself, becoming a clerk
in the house of Drew, Robinson & Co,
Wall ST. bankers. His rapid mastery
of the business was recognized by mis-
employers and he was quickly pro-
NOTED. He supported himself on his
salary and at the end of two years of
office labor married Louise. the
His employers intended to take him
into partnership, but the close con-
finement had SO far brosen his health
that it was necessary for him to give
up indoor work. AS he had natural
inclination for farming, his father
bought him a small farm at New
Dorp, Staten Island, where in 1872 ne
began the cultivation of 20 acres of
unimproved land, which soon was re-
turning him a good income. He need
ed capital, however, but his father.
who was already a millionaire, refused
to lend him the $4,000 he requested
William obtained elsewhere $4,000 by
mortgage on his farm and, on being
called to account by his father for
this action, he told the simple truth
declaring at the same time that he

with his creditor. The result was the
Commodore sent him a check for
$4,000, with orders to pay. off the
mortgage, and from this time on, such

INTEREST IN MARS.

= o. i 4 Z + 4
Interest in the planet Mars has been
stimulated by the recent discussion as
TO whetheri 1t would be feasible to send
signals from the earth to the inhab-
ltants Of that planet,
Professor Pickering suggested a huge
system Of mirrors by which sunlight
might be flashed to our neighbor In
space. The professor thought that
miles of mirrors ten feet across and
all worked in rhytmical unison would
be necessary. But a practical hello
graph operator pointed out that pocket
mirrors less than four inches across
would give Just AS satisfactory results
FiYeSthousand men each with a rioce Of
mirror flashing simultaneously at the
planet would be cheaper than immense
glasses and an elaborate machinery.
Professor Todd of Amherst, assumes
that If Mars has intelligent inhabit-
ants they are probably endeavoring to
communicate with rs By means OF the
Hertzian waves. His suggestion is
that wireless telegraph receivers be
taken up in balloons tofrfcord any sig
nails that may be sent this way.
Another suggestion is that an im-
irlcrlse number of electric lights be in
stalled on a large plain somewhere and
& that signals be flashed by alternately
turning on and off the current. Pro-
lessor Wood $ suggestion is that large
dark spot be made on white alkali
plains, by which signals could be
.1sinked, !. He thinks this could be
done by having sections Of black clotf,
