WIRELESS TELEPHONE is OLD
by Inventor Bell Thirty-one
Years Ago.

In 1879, long before the day Of the
Hertzian wave and modern wireless
telegraphy, Alexander Graham Bell de-
vised and operated a wireless tele-
phone" Starting with Clerk Max
wells electromagnetic theory of light,
he undertook to impress phonetic dis
turbanses upon the light waves and
reproduce them In a telephone re-
ceiver by means of a bit Of selenium,
which has the remarkable property of
changing its resistance to an electric
current when under the influence OF
light, says Popular Electricity. A cell
made of two narrow strips of annealed
selenium attached to block of brass
alters its resistance from 300 to 15C
ohms when brought from darkness
into the sunlight.
A beam of bright light was directed
upon the surface of a sllvered mica
diaphragm which reflected 1t to q
parobolic mirror at the receiving sta.
ton. Here the light was again re.
flected by the inner surface Of the
mirror SO that 1t converged through
a lens upon a small selenium cell at
the focus of the mirror, and in series
with battery and the telephone re-
ceiver.
AS the voice waves Of the sender
impinged upon the silvered diaphragm
is vibrated to and fro, altering the
amount of reflected light according as
it became convex or concave toward
the receiver. With each variation Of
the intensity of the transmitted light
the selenuim cell or "detector" offered
a corresponding variation In its resist

MAKING INDIAN PLAY SUITS
Little Boys and Girls Can Rig Them
selves Up In Novel Way by
Using Old Newspapers.

The boy who wants to change him
self into a little Indian may easily
make an Indian play suit For a head
dress cut deep fringe from newspa-
pers. Pin 1t around the head and pin
a long piece Of the fringe to fall down
the back to look like feathers. Cut
more fringe and pin down the sides
Of the pants and another piece Of
fringe, not very long, to pin around
the ankles over the tops Of low shoes
to look like moecasins.
The little girl who wants to be a
squaw may make her suit in this way:
First, make the skirt. Paste two large
newspaper sheets together so that
the short side of one newspaper laps
over to the short side of the other
sheet Of paper Fold this long piece
of paper just formed so that the long
top edge reaches nearly down to the
long lower edge. Cut the lower edge
so that It is formed into fringe The
skirt is then finished. Slip piece OF
ldpc buC ohlll biiC paper
is folded, and tie it at the back to
keep the skirt in place. The Indian
sack is made in this way. Place a
double sheet Of newspaper in front OF
you SO that the long double edge OF
the paper is at the top Fold the
short edge of the paper on one side
over onto the other short edge. From
the upper left hand corner of this
folded paper cut out a double square
Of paper which is about four inches
each way All Of the edges except
the top edge and the folded edge OF
the paper should be slashed to form
fringe. Open out your paper and put
1t on as a sack by putting your head
through the square hole in the top oi
the paper The fringe will be down
the sides of the sack and on the
bottom of the little coat.

A Bio SHORTAGE in Seeds.

From almost all sections comes the re-
port of frightful shortages in seed corns;
also in some varieties of seed barley,
oats, rye, wheat, flax. Cloyers and the
early varieties OF potatoes.
This is particularly noticeable in the
great corn and oat and potato growing
states.
Thus: The great states of Nebraska and
Iowa are suffering from a dearth of seed
corn as never before.
The w~lde-awake farmers in these and
other states are placing their orders early
for above seeds in order to be on the safe
side, and we can but urge farmers to
write at once to the John a. Salzer Seed
Co, Box lS2, La Crosse, Wis, for their
farm seed and corn catalogue.
The magnitude of the business OF this
long established firm can be somewhat
estimated when one knows that in ordi-
harry years they sell:
$4,000 bushels of elegant seed corn.
100000 bushels of seed potatoes.
1O0, 600 bushels of seed oats.
$4,000 bushels Of seed wheat.
10000 bushels of pure clover and timo-
thy seeds, together with an ndless
amount of other farm seeds and vege-
table seeds, such as onions, Cabbages, car
rots. peas, beans, lettuce, radishes, toma-
toes, etc.
There is one thing about the Salzer firm
they never ~disappoint. They always fill
your order on account of the enormous
stocks they carry.
