I did not figure on the head winds that were so strong that I was actually blown off my course dozen times. These winds were often accompanied by drenchipgi showers. which in the aggregate has depriyed me of the use of the road for nearly fourteen days
 Added to this. railway men say that in crossing and crossing the tracks | have walked at least 200 miles more than have counted in my mileage. Butt above and beyond all this did not agree to fast while on the road as II have been forced to do during the past two weeks. Most days have Wa1kedi from eighteen to twenty miles twlth-t out seeing a house and could only rinse my mouth from the drinking barrels of the railway section men. Three times I had to walk stretches of twen-i ty-five. twenty-seven, and tWenty-i eight miles without other refreshments. Two weeks ago I learned that even the stations were further apert between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. There-f ore I have been obliged to change my route and go from here via the South-s ern Pacific Railroad to Reno. Sacra- mento, Tracy. Niles. Redwood. and, thence to San Francisco. This wih make 4,0o0 miles.
 am thankful to the officials and employees of the Union Pacific raiIroadt for the uniform kindness with which have been treated and the many who have made me their guests during the walk of nearly 1.500 miles over the line and now the Southern Pacific Com pany has insured me against fasting by sending a man to follow me on railroad velocipede. and I shall have the advantage of refreshments day and 5 night while going through the desert.

Washington, June 21.-Extensive ex- periments are to be made by the Uni ted States Army this summer with wireless telephony. especially with a view to the affiliations of the new est means of communication in time of war.
