WIRELESS TALK At 80 MILES.
New Radio Telephonic Uystem invent
ed by French Naval Men a Success.

Paris, April IA system of wire.
less telephony invented by Lieuts
Colin and Jeance of the French navy
was tested between Paris and Melun
a distance of thirty miles.
The details of the apparatus have
not been made public beyond the fact
that electric oscillations, all possess
ing the same forge, are directed by
means of an arc light onto antennae,
consisting of four metal wires hang
ing down, to which microphone is
attached for the transmission, while
antenpae are connected with telc-
phone for receiving.
The firm which manufactures this
radiotelebhonic apparatus had another
set of antennae at its works near the
Eiffel Tower, where journalists who
had been invited to witness the test
could tap the sounds as they passed
from the tower to Melun.
NJ. Picard after listening for a long
time sent a message back to the tower
by wireless telegraphy thanking Lieut.
Colin and saying that he had heard
him perfectly.

feat never before accomplished is
being successfully tried in the remov-
ing of a nitro glycerine factory of three
rooms of brick frai7le> construction a
distance of sixty-five miles by water.
Almost since the time the first oil
We'll was drilled in this part of Wetzel
county there has been a nitroglycerine
factory located at North Pole, a short
distance above Steelton. The factory
supplied the oil fields of Wetzel and
Monroe counties, and it has been decid-
cd to move the factory to Follonsbee,
where a new oil well was opened up
some time ago.
The factory was loaded on to a
barge in the Ohio river and taken to
Wheeling and from there towed to Fol
Iansobee. Thus far there have been no
accidents, but the gratest care is being
exercised to prevent explosions which
might result in the killing of. the entire
crew of two score persons.

THE HONEYMOON PARADE.
Wedding Custom In One Town When

Wedding Custom In One Town When
the Train IL Late.
A small city, which need not be To-
Gated more particularly than that it is
somewhere east Of Boston, has its own
peculiar way of speeding the newly
married on their honeymoon.
For n thing, every n goes to the
station to see the couple depart. This
is done in many small places. The
showering of rice or confetti and the
throwing of the old shoe take place,
not at the home Of the bride, but at the
station. To that extent the city re-
ferred to is not unusual.
But in this city train schedules fire.
quently go awry. and when they do
the unusual happens. The wedding. of
course, has been celebrated on time,
ana the reception has taken as much
time as such things usually take. The
departure from the brides home Is
made in due season to catch the train
II 1t Is on time.
The wedding guests rush to the sta
ton, where all other Inhabitants hav-
Ing nothing better to do have assem-
bled already. 1t is a free show which
no n would miss.
The carriage bearing the newly mar
ried pair is drawn by white horses and
decorated with white ribbons. Custom
demands this, and no one has yet had
the temerity to do otherwise.
The carriage arrives at the station,
and it is learned that the train is so
many minutes or so many hours late.
Usually the measure is in hours.
The carriage doesn't wait. It goes
parading. 1t drives around and around
a prescribed route, from every point of
which the driver can get due notice of
the approach of the train.
The crowd remains patiently at the
station. Other curious persons station
themselves at points along the route
just to see the wedding coach pass.
Sometimes two OF three carriages,
drawn by white horses and decorated
In white, swing steadily around this
hymeneal circuit. 1t seems like an
endless procession. It is not unsual
for a wedding pair to spend the first
five hours Of their honeymoon just rid
ing round and round waiting for the
train.
When the screech of the locomotive
finally is heard the driver continues to
swing up to the platform just as the
train to a stop. Then the bride
and bridegroom make a mad rush for
their "a amid a shower Of rice and
confetti and cid shoes. The honeymoon
parade is over.-EXchange.

The Rice God.

In the Malay peninsula, after a gen.
ral propitiatory service has been held
IS an apology" to the rice for cutting
It, the ''rice soul" is diligently sought.
First the spot where the best rice
grows is selected; then seven stems
are chosen, each having joints.
Within this sacred bundle resides the
soul Of the whole precious field, and,
dressed in swaddling clothes like a live
infant, it is borne home in a basket
and tenderly, r%everently, placed on a
new sleeping mat.
After the rice harvest in Ceylon the
priests take a little old god called
March, down to the river. A hole is
dug where the water is shallow, and
Into this is crammed a bag Of dry rice,
with the god placed on top. The satu-
rated rice expands, forcing the image
upward, SO that in about fifteen days
It comes to the surface and IL well
eomed as a new god with acclama-
tons Of great Joy.
Both In China and Japan are held
special festivals Of thanksgiving and
ohering up of first fruits.-Los An

Wrist BAGS Of Cloth,

Instead of a wrist bag the latest fan
cy is to have a bag of quaint form
made Of material to match the cos
tune suspended from the corsage or
the top edge Of the skirt by wide rib
bons; also the great muffs are utilized
as a sack into which is poured a vari-
ETY. Of objects that once belonged in
the wrist bag. Inside the muffs are
pockets of all sizes and shapes. The
purse is in one, the cardcase in an
other, and all the useful vanity box
belongings are separately slowed
away. Old muffs belonging to last
year. too small for this. are cut into
pieces and with the help of wide rib
bons and frills or bands of mousseline
de sole are turned into fascinating
great muffs wholly up to date.

to the wrists and We're tucked their

a high collar of dark red satin, folded,

lined with white. finished the neck. a
narrow cravat tied in n bow in the
front. the ends weighted with gold
tassels, completed a stylish waist.
