Telephoning without wires has
already passed the experimental
stage. and instruments are install.
ed on a few OF the battleships and
on a number OF smaller craft. The
wireless telephone, as the wireless
telegraph, depends on the produc.
ton OF waves that travel with the
velocity OF light-I86,ooo miles
per second. The apparatus, as
installed on board OF a ship, con-
sists OF wires technically called
the "antennae") strung between
two masts, and OF a transmitter
and receiver, generally placed in
the navigating cabin. BY talking
into the transmitter sound waves
are transformed into electrical vi
brations, which in turn set into
oscillation ether waves. These
waves are sent out through the at.
mosphere, and at the receiving sta
ton are transformed into sound
waves similar to those taken by the
transmitter.

SALOON BEATS
the CITY U N TO 1T

The case OF the city OF Clovis
VS. one OF the saloons at that place,
which came up before Judge Pope
OF the district court at Roswell, at.
trscted quite a little local interest
in both saloon and legal circles.
The case grew out OF an attempt
on the part OF the city council to
revoke the license OF a certain
saloon OF the CITY because OF its
having violated the building ordin.
ance forbidding tue construction oil
any buildings within the fire limits,
OF anything but FIRE proof material,
and also on account OF other viola
tons OF the law. After the late
FIRE in which their building was
destroyed, the saloon people quick.
ly erected a temporary sheet-iron
and wood shack" in which they
expected to conduct their business
until their new building could be
made ready. The officials would
allow such a building upon the rear
OF the lot but forbade it being near
th+ front upon the penalty OF the
law. rhe shack" was slipped
up in the night, however, and
booze was flowing merrily in the
morning when the city fathers
awoke &c find they had been worst
ed. The license oil the saloon peo.
Pile was revoked, and they i'm
mediately got out an Injunction re.
straining the enforcement OF the
decree OF the city council. The
case which came up before Judge
Pope Saturday, was merely the
hearing on the temporary %injcnc.
ton TO see IL il should he contin-
ued. City Attorney Fred Nc
Donald represented the council and
II. d.. Merrill was council for the
saloon people. The Judge held
that the city could not revoke the
license Tor such an oftense without
a hearing, but upheld the conten.
ton OF the city council that the
present quarters must be removed
or be destroyed.
The council tor the saloon peo-
pie took the position that the or.
dinance passed by the city council,
regulating the character OF build
ings within the specified fire limit,
was never duly signed. The city
contended and offered to prove that
il was signed in regular order, al
though it was later lost and could
not be presented in court. The
Judge held it valid, however, and
assessed all costs to the saloon
men with their license held intace.

Above Mother Earth, De.
Il!tktfully Simple.

Dayton, Ohio, NAV. - Booming
cannon and brass bands greeted
Wilbur, Orville and Katherine
Wright on their arrival in their
home city today from Europe. A
gun squad OF the national military
home fred salutes all day. At
their home the Wrights were greet.
ed by several thousand oil their
neighbors aud tonight a reception
was attended by 10, 900 persons.
As soon as the inventors could
leave their home, they hurried to
their shop, where they inspected
the work already done on several
machines now being built.
Wilbur Wright said
The possibilities OF aeroplaneS
are many, but are not vet fully de-
termined. This much is certain,
however, the manipulation OF the
machine is simple and can he mas
tered by any one in a few lessons.
An altitude OF a mile above the
earth is entirely practicable and as
safe as a few hundred feet. The
machines, as we have been using
them, embrace little more or less
than the mere basic principle, bu,
we are improving each aeroplane
more or less over the preceding one
built, and predict that the process
OF development will he fully as
rapid as that OF the automobile.

Inventor Of Airships.

It is worth noting that the distinc-
ton of being the author of flying ma
chimes belongs to Catholic priest.
Father Bartholomew Gusmao is the
true founder Of aerial navigation. He
occupied for fifteen years the chair
Of philosophy at Rio Janeiro, and was
recognized as high authority on the
physical sciences. He constructed
machine, in the form Of bird, with
tubes and bellows to supply the wings
with air. After one or two unsuc-
cessful attempts the gigantic bird rose
majestically in the air. For several
minutes" says recent issue Of the
New York Tribune, referring to Faith
er Gusmao's invention, "the machine
moved about on the same level, I'M
der perfect control, and then for sew
oral minutes was held almost mo-
tionless, feat that none Of the mod
ern machines has attempted" This
was in 1903. The Journal des Saw
ants, No. II. 1874, recognizes that
Father Gusmao is truly the inventor
of aerial navigation, the balloon dis
covery OF the Montgolfer brothers
{also Catholics) being more than half
q century later than Father Gusmao's
demonstration. According to the
New York Tribune, both at Lisbon
and in the National library at Paris
are to be found descriptions and
drawings of the machine invented by
Father Gusmao.

Prsaehs. to Pew..

Cincinnati, Sept. 5.-The Rev.
Charles King, once a prominent min
lister in the Episcopal church of this
country, but who has been in business
in Cincinnati for several years, today
did something that perhaps no other
minister in this country has accom-
plished. He preached sermon at the
Wyoming Episcopal church without q
congregation.
He faced the empty seats and talked
away about the spirituality of some
men and the non spirituality of most
men. He told the empty pews how
hard it is to get to heaven and how
few there are who achieve that end.
He argued for universal goodness
in man and told the walls, the pews
and the pillars of that beautiful church
and his organist just what's the mat
ter with modern coin-loving human
ity. His organist heard all this, ~
he had heard it often before.
The organist at the church is John
j. Hill, formerly chief engineer of the
Cincinnati waterworks, formerly chief
engineer and designer Of the present
system of waterworks in Philadelphia,
and who was tried and acquitted IN
the Quaker town for grating. He
and he alone heard the sermon.
When the time came for the collec-.
ton he played the offertory, got up.
went to the bundle Of baskets in the
collection room, laid s. note in one
and passed the basket to the Rev. Mr..
King. -
Then he heard the minister's TRADE
against existing corruption in our
cities, played the hymns, sang them
with the minister and the two left the
church. u.
This all happened because the pastor
Of the church is away on his vacation.

Father Bernard is on his way to
France and Belgium to seek aid for
his mission, and will return In the

They are within a radius of from six

in the Boring straits from 100 to 200
miles from his headquarters, which
he visits twice each winter. His par
ishioners consist Of Eskimos and min
ers.
THE Eskimos are fine class of
people to work among" said Father
Bernard. They are entirely different
from the Indians. being quiet, peace
full, cheerful and anxious to learn.
They are not superstitious and have
good morals-one wife for life-no d.
vorce or affinities among them. They
do not lie or steal, unless spoiled by
the white men.
"Of course, I have hardships, but 1
hope to be able to endure them. Ny

Being assured that the dainty was

= County Tyrone Incident.

| Honorable members seem to ps
making mountain out Of a molehill."
With this rebuke the speaker cut
short the queries of Mr.. Moore and
Mr.. Lonsdale respecting an incident
which occurred at Brantry, near Cale-
don, County Tyrone, on July 10. .
Some ill-feeling had been aroused
by the stealing of flag off the local
church, and with view of avoiding
disturbance an arrangement was
come to with the police, according to
Mr.. Lonsdale, that the Orangemcn
would refrain from taking their drums
past the local Htbernian lodge, and
that the Hibernians would not parade
past the church and Orange hall. The
Hibernians denied having given the
arrangement, and he asked for an ex-
PLANTATION of the conduct Of the police
in allowing them to do 80.
Mr.. Birrell said the leader of the
Hiberians denied having given the
undertaking attributed to him, and az
; the route by the church had frequent-
ly been used by both parties the po-
lice refrained from using force to pre-
vent the passage of the FIibernians,
which was attended by no disorder.
He suggested that there had been a
misunderstanding as regards the al
legged undertaking Of the Hibernians.
Mr.. Moore asked how it was that
any such arrangement of that kind
was honorably acquiesced in by the
Orangemen, while a misunderstanding
invariably happened on the part Of
the Nationalists.
Mr.. BirreM said he could not ex-
plain that, neither did he accept It as
true.
Mr.. Cullinan asked, was it not a
fact that there was no reason for the
police to interfere, as there was no
disturbance
Mr.. Birrell said that was so. L
should have thought" he added, that
the incident might have been forgot
ten"
Haven't the Hibernians been de i.
nounced by Cardinal Logue?" asked
Mr.. Moore, "as an irreligious political
party, and would it not be well for
the right honorable gentleman to take
that into full consideration?
Neither the honorable member nor
myself have anything to do with Ca:-
dinal Losue," retorted Mr.. Birrel.
Mr.. Moore was proceeding to put
another question when he was called
to order by the speaker, who added
the words quoted above.
Mr., Birrell, in reply to Capt. Craig
in parliament yesterday, said that at
an Orange hall, near Newry, on July
49,, two shots were fired out of a train,
containing EIibernians returning from
demonstration at Dundalk, and an
other was fred ct .Bessbrook - q
