London, Jan. Astronomer Maun-

the scientific world entirely. DR.. Lockyer,
OF the Solar Physics Observatory at South
Kenslngton. still pins his faith TO Prof.
Perclval LoBelrs theories. greatly on the
ground OF the perfection ofProt Lowells
observation station m Arizona, and his
faith in Prof. Lowell as an accurate. pa

Prof. Schiapparelli, when shown the re-
port Of Or. Maunder's lecture, said. in
Milan, the real existence OF canal-like
markings In Mars was undoubted. He
discovered them first In 1S77, and had seen
them since many times. Dr.. Hale's pho

the canals. cannot DO held as decisive
proof, because Il IS possible the negatives

ROBS MARCONI OF LAURELS.
His Wireless Instruments Said TO BE
Duplicate OF Prof. Lodges.

R. A. Fessenden, in his annual report
Of the Smithsonian Institution, just is
sued, Interestingly discusses wireless tel
ephony. The subject IS closely connected
with wireless biography.
Mr.. Fessenden calls attention to the
fact that while MarcOni was the prac-
teal developer OF wireless telegraphy,
and. in the popular mind, will probably
always be regarded as the discoverer of
this means OF transmission, the system
was known to scientists many years ago.
He says the first instruments patented
by Marconi were practically duplicates
Of those used by Prof. Oliver Lodge.
Ii was known that wireless signals had
been transmitted by Prof. Joseph Henry
In 1910. and at later date Helmholtz,
Elihu Thompson, and others did much to
develop the art. In the Fortnightly Re
view of February, 1892, Sir william
Crookes showed the whole field that
might be covered by wireless telegraphy
but pointed out several practical obsta-
eles that had 10 be overcome.

CASH AND THE WOMAN.
One of the Few Cases in Which They
Were Not Soon Parted.

Worlds Work.
A New England woman, young, poor,
with no immediate family, unexpect-
edly received a legacy Of $4,000. She
didn't know anything about investing
money because she had never had any
to invest.
First she took it to a savings bank,
which declined to handle so much at
once. Then she put it into national
bank while she could look about for a
chance to make that legacy work. Be-
ing in search of an honest man and
being a woman, she went to her
clergyman.
The clerical gentleman was right
there with the advice. The minister
lost no time in urging her to buy in
come bonds Of boys school, of which
he was a trustee and which had only
recently determined to raise money
for an extension.
He talked of nothing else. She
promised, but wanted time to get some
more disintarested advice from other
sources.
A banking house whose name she
got from a church paper sent her
volumes Of mail. It was all about
three splendid companies. They were
the wonders Of the age. They made
necessaries of life, and they made
them so easily and cheaply that they
were certainly going to turn the old
world upside down.
She was fascinated. She had heard
of such things. Her first impulse was
to buy lot of the stocks of each and
sit down to enjoy the plethoric wealth
that was sure to come along in good
time.
But she was a cautious lady of the
New England type, and determined TO
make no mistakes. She heard of a
great financial publication in New
York which gave advice about such
matters. She wrote to it and received
short but careful reply.
The editor, while declining to make
any specific recommendations, warned
her to be very careful. He talked OF
sound finance" of "undoubted liens,
of "gilt edge bonds of savings bank
standard" or "prior lien mortgages.
She read the letter in a sort Of a daze.
Finally she picked out the one phrase
that meant something to her, Savings
bank" and determined to follow it up.
