Frederick G. Boyer, well known

"a Medina editor died. he said, ''and
was, of course, directed to ascend to the
abode of the just. But during the ascent
the editors journalistic curiosity asserted
itself and he said:
Is it permitted for one to have
look at-er-the other place.?
" Certainly was the gracious reply,
and accordingly descent to the other
place was made. Here the editor found
much to interest him. He scurried about
and was soon lost to view.
His angelic escort got worried at last
and began a systematic search for his
charge. He found him at last seated
before a furnace, tanning himself and
gazing at the people in the fire. On the
door of the furnace was plate, saying,

BUTTERS-IN HURT WIRELESS
Daily Interference by Thoughtiess or
Malicious NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
May Be Licensed.

It may surprise some readers tc
learn that the serious business Of
wireless telegraphy is daily interfered
with by thoughtless or malicious anna
teurs. Every inventor of new sys.
tenn is anxious to tune" his appara-
tus so that each receiver shall get
messages from it's corresponding
transmitter, and only from that; but
the state of things, which may be
looked upon as the millennium OF
wireless, has not yet arrived, conse-
quently the regular stations are more
or less at the mercy of the casual ex-
perimenter. An electrical magazine
reports that some joker near Boston
exact location unknown-spends his
evenings in drowning out with very
powerful apparatus every message to
or from neighboring naval station.
When this facetious individual is spot
ted his amusement will, of course, be
interfered with. 1t is said an effort
will be made this winter to get con-
gress to pass bill requiring all wire
less stations, public Or private, to be
licensed. All public stations and many
private plants now have special call
signals. The Marconi company uses
combinations of three letters of the
alphabet. The United States navy
uses combinations of two letters and
monopolizes about half the possible
number of these. An effort to publish
a complete up-to-date official directory
of these wireless calls has failed, ow.
ing to objections advanced by the
commercial companies. The only
available list is now that of the navy
| which is more than a year old.

of Massachusetts man who has in

artificial skylight effects. In one cor

an electric light, or some other arti-

is glass partition, hinged in the mid
die, so that it can be adjusted to vary
the angle at which the light strikes it.
In front of this is series of
screens. BY changing the angle of
the partition and adding or removing
screens, almost any light effect can
be produced. from the glare of bright
sunlight to the shadow of a cloudy day.

light bulb, with reflector, so arranged
that it can be raised or lowered on

Among the patients in a certain hos.

FAME AND FORTUNE OFFERED
Rich Prize for Man Who Discovers
the Long-Sought Cure for
tuberculosis.

DR. George w. Bloomer of Yale uni
versity, acting as spokesman for an
anonymous giver, has announced that
a prize of 100000 has been set aside,
to be awarded to the first person any
where in the world who discovers a
cure for tuberculosis. The gift is un-
conditional as to time, place, or kind
of cure, the only real condition being
that the new cure must have been in
constant use at least five years, and
that the promoter of the cure con-
vince the Investigating board of the
merits of his discovery.
A large number of physicians have
been working for years to perfect vac
cine, or anti-toxin for tuberculosis, or
to find some agent, such as tuberculin
which will assist in the cure of the dis
ease. Thus far, the experiments have
not furnished product which will
either absolutely cure or prevent con
sumption, or render the patient i'm
mune against the disease. Many OF
these serums have proved effective in
increasing the resistance of the pa
tient and thus helping in the cure, but
no scientist of repute to-day claims tc
have discovered tuberculin which
will produce cure without the com
bined aid of fresh air, rest and whole
some food.

or skip moves up or down, a small
disk carrying needle travels along a

and thus marks down the time of the
trip. Each ring of the signal bell per.
