An Ingenious Scheme.

The musical code would be a dis
tinct novelty in wireless telegraphy,
yet no one can deny it is merely a
subtle development Of the art of the
ordinary bugler. The tunes" could
be heard also, no matter how much
confusion was attempted by the OPP
orator of ordinary wireless systems.
The manner in which these musical
notes are caused is very ingenious.
The continuous train of waves still
travels outward from the sending
aerial to the receiver, but by means
of a controlling effect produced when
key is depressed on the keyboard
the waves are alternately brought to
great strength and diminished until
quite feeble.

lists we're compared. In 1880 there

number had increased to 311,653. And
as the minimum yearly increase since
then has been $4,000, about 100000
are known at the present time. This
is large figure, but it is probable
that it is Insignificant compared with
figures OF the species as yet undis.

He suddenly turned tail and, running

money wasted The vast bulk goes
to pay other people for services rem
dered in some form or other and this
contributes to the prosperity of the
masses, perhaps more than If It were
expended for charity. Take the one
holiday OF Mr. and Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney for example:
The Whitneys some years ago
rented from the owners the Holwich
grouse moors near London. They pay
rental of $4,000 a year. Besides this
they have more than 100 beaters and
many other attendants and servants.
The total expenditure is estimated at
$4,000 a year. But Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney are very busy
people and this year they found time
for only one day on the moors. Con.
sequently it may be stated that for
the pleasurs of one days grouse
shooting on their part and the part
OF their invited guests the cost was
$50 ,OO0,.
Mrs. Whitney is an accurate shot
and has been a hunting enthusiast
for years. She and her husband are
have manifested a fondness for
grouse shooting and who have leased
English hunting grounds, though none
has paid SO much as the Whitneys for
the sport.
Harry Payne Whitney is put down
in Who's Who as a capitalist. He is
38 years old and the eldest son Of
the late Hon. William o. Whitney. He
lis Yale graduate, member of many
clubs and on the directorate OF a
number of great enterprises. Mrs.
Whitney IL a daughter of the late
Cornelius Vanderbilt. She Is a very
clever woman, being an artist and q
skilled sculptor She maintains q
studio in New York and another at
Newport. She and Mr.. Whitney
have been married IA years. This,
come to think of It, is long time for
couple in the ultra-social set to live
together without thought Of divorce.

Exercise and Rest

What is the relation between exel
else and rest? Work is that at which
we must continue, whether interesting
or not, whether we are tired or not.
1t used to be thought that the prime
requisite of rest was the use Of facul-
ties other than those involved in the
labor of the day. But there is such a
thing as fatigue which goes deeper
than daily work We can work so
hard as to become exhausted-too
exhausted for any kind of work. Per
haps this is will fatigue. 1t is coming
to be regarded as fundamentally true
that rest from such fatigue demands
continuity; that, for example, four
periods of Is minutes each of rest is
not the equivalent of one hours rest;
that a man who goes on a vacation
and takes half an hour of his business
work every day. is doing the same
thing as the man who had a horse
with sore back. He kept the saddle
on only a few minutes each day, but
the sore did not have chance to heal
Rest periods must be sufficiently con.
secutive to overcome consecutive ia.

RESULT OF CHICAGO SHOW.
Our Apple Display Opened Their

Perhaps the Ilost significant result
OF the National Apple show in Chicago,
recently, is the widespread attention
directed to the commercial orchard dis
tricts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Montana and British Columbia. The
daily newspapers and class. publications
in Chicago were liberal in devoting
space to the enterprise. The fact that
the exhibitors were literally besieged
from morning until night by eager in

of the various districts in the four
states and province, may be taken as
an indication that many will cast their
