ACCIDENTS.

An accident at the foot ball game on
the Georgetown Field in November
which resulted In the death of Archer
Christian. member of the University of
Virginia team. was one of the saddest
Of the year. The occurrence was fol-
lowed by an investigation of charges
against members of the police depart
ment. growing out of the manner in
which the injured man was cared for.
Carbon monoxide gas accidents claimed
the attention of physicians several times
during the year. two deaths from the
gas the previous year having directed
attention to the danger.
One of the fatal accidents early in the
year was the killing of Frank Foster on
the Highway bridge. his death having
resulted from injuries sustained in a
collision. January IA stone from a
blast on the Virginia side of the river

Of the tariff. The Congress sat in con-

which day tine President signed the new
act and both houses adjourned. The
new tariff was revision downward in
some cases. and revision upward in

men was adopted weighing fourteen

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

Advances in wireless telegraphy during
the past year have been principally along
the line of sending messages greater
distance than ever before. Messages
have been caught from some of the war
ships in the Pacific at distances from
1900 to nearly 1000 miles, but these
have been what is known as freak
messages and were sent under excep-
tionaily favorable conditions that are
not thoroughly understood.
The wireless telephone has also been
developed and conversations have been
held over a distance of fifteen miles.
But the instruments have been compli-
Gated and the results pronounced not
satisfactory enough to make their sue
cess regarded as little more than an in
tcresting scientific demonstration.
Both the French and the American
governments have discussed the estab-
lishment of long distance wireless tele-
graph stations. but the French work has
not been particularly startling and the big
American station has not vet been estab-
lished. The French government has es-
tablished station on the Eifel tower.
which il was thought would send mes
sageS 5000 miles. but the best that has
been done is to pick up warships at any
point in the Med terranean and over the
most of the Atlantic.
1t was intended by the American Navy
Department to establish a big station
guaranteed to send messages regularly
1000 miles and it was suggested at first
that the Washington Monument be used
the station for holding the aerial APP
paratus but objection was made to this
use of the Monument on sentimental
grounds. and it has been finally planned
10 build a special tower higher than the
Monument-6J0 feet. But it has not yet
been decided where this .;tdtion will be
located. There is now a possibility that
1t will be either at Annapolis or on the
outskirts of Washington. The contracts
have been let for the instruments to be
used in the big plant. although work on
