Sending Photographs bu
Wireless

Not content with sending wireless
messages for hundreds of miles
through the ether, Mr.. Hans Knudson,
Danish engineer, has recently per-
fected an electrical appliance by means
OF which actual photographs may be
sent through the air without wires and
reproduced with great fidelity at re-
ceiving station hundreds or even thou
sands of miles away. The photograph
shown at the left is the small piece of
apparatus which sends the photograph,
and on the right is reproduced pho
tograph of King Edward VII. of Eng
land, which was actually sent by Knud-
sons apparatus, and reproduced 100
miles away, the whole process occu-
plying only 12 minutes.

BASKET WILLOWS THE NEW
FARM CROP.

Willows for use in making baskets
are a new farm crop which the depart
ment of agriculture is doing it's best
to introduce in this country. At pres
ent vast quantities of basket willows
are imported from France and Ger
many, but already large plantations
have been established in western New
York, Indiana and the vicinity of Balti-
more. On a single acre of rich. we'll
drained bottom land as many as "a 900
plants may be set out. and if tended
with the same care given to other
crops, the net result may well exceed
that of any other acre of the farm.
Cuttings of the variety of willow
which has proved most successful may
be obtained from the department of ag-
riculture in Washington.

THE TRAVELLING RooTLEss GAG
TUS.

The curious round object shown in
the photograph is rpotless cactus,
native of the great California des.
ert. For eight or nine months In the
year, in the shape of flattened globe.
the plant is blown about the fiat sandy
floor of the desert by the winds which
sweep fiercely in from the ocean.
When the first cloudburst breaks over
the desert in the spring, the dried-up
cactus sends out perfect network of
thread. like roots, often spreading over
a circle whose radius is ten feet. From
these roots spring small shoots each
of which becames cactus like the
mother plant. The young plants suck
the life out of the parent. When the
few weeks of the rainy season are
over the roots dry up and in the place
of one there are perhaps 100 little balls
left to be tossed about over the desert
floor, some of them travelling 40 or
so miles from the spot where they first
appeared.

Former Mt. Pleasant Man to Serve
Year in Prison.

Manti, Jan. 4.-During the past week
the famous case against Webster Green
formerly of Mount Pleasant, who has been
tried a number of times on q felony
charge, occupied last week in the district
court here. The ending came the latter
part of the week and the jury found the
defendant guilty and the court sentenced
Green yesterday afternoon to one year in
the penitentiaTy. The evidence was very
similar to that introduced by the state
at former trials, although there was
other documentary evidence showing that
Green was married, which was not in
troduced at the former trial The de-
Tense did not place Green on the stand
or any witnesses in behalf of the de-
PENDANT, relying entirely upon the evil
dence introduced by the state. Notice
of an appeal was taken and a bond of
S1,00O was filed by the defense until the
matter is settled by the supreme court.
