Progress Of Wireless.

By the law of the land no vessel
carrying fifty or more persons, inelud-
ing passengers and crew, may leave any
port in the United States on a voyage
of more than two hundred miles after

transmitting and receiving messages
over a distance of at least one hundred
miles, day or night, in charge OF a com
petent operator.
Even without the strong encourage

ence whatever beyond the cold logic Of
achievement, the worlds installation OF
wireless telegraph apparatus had grown

State Geological Surveys.

aThe State Geological Surveys OF the
United States" Is the title Of Bulletin
465 Of the United States geological sur
vey. compiled by c. w Hayes. 1t
contains comprehensive outline OF
the work of 80 states which recognize
geologic investigation as necessary
and proper governmental function and
have organizations for the carrying on
of such work.
Considerable interest attaches to the
history of some of the older state sur
veys, notably the New York state geo
Iigical survey and the Pennsylvania
topographic and geological survey com
mission The New York survey is the
outgrowth of the scientific activity OF
Amos Eaton, supported by the sub
stantial patronage of Gen Stephen
Van Rensselaer, and the encouragement
of Governor De Witt Clinton In
1895 John A Dix, the secretary OF
state of New York, presented a scheme
for natural history survey OF the
state in which a geologic survey was
to hold leading place As indicating
however. perhaps lack of application
of the scope of the science of geology
at that time, it was believed that with
four district biologists and four as
sistants a complete survey Of the state
of New York could be made in four
years.
The Pennsylvania geological survey
was created in 1896 and soon made
important structural discoveries in the
coal fields. This first survey was
discontinued. but in 1874 second sur
vev was organized, to which was ac-
corded the solution of economic prob
lens relating to the structure and ex-
tent of the coal and petroleum for
nations.
The youngest member of the family
of state surveys is the geological sur
vey of Tennessee, which was created in
| 1909. The bulletin contains notes on
the organization of the surveys, on
their scope of individual work, and
on the plan of cooperation existing
between some of them and the United
States geological survey.

ter. Soon after his arrival it was no
ticed that he was suffering from some
mental arrangement, and he soon be-
came so troublesome that an officer was
summoned and he was arrested and TAX
en- to the lookup here to remain through
the night. After the necessary papers
were made out he was taken to the
Waterbury hospital by d. d. Howe.
Upon investigation, it was found that
he had been subject to these attacks,
and it was hereditary, some of his fam
| lily before him having been similarly
afflicted Mr.. Watrous Is 80 years Of
age and since his marriage three years
ago. these attacks have been frequent,
and the family became alarmed, fearing
that tragedy might follow. When he
left here he was apparently all right,

CHEAPER TRANSPORTATION.

pr. w. J. McGee. connected with the bureau of soils of the department of agriculture, an economist and scientist of note, fin speaking of the neglected rivers. said in Washington the other day that If our rivers were put to their normal use they would relieve che recurrent freight congestion stfm- ulate production. lower the cost of commodities and reopen our waning export trade. If quarter of the cur rent freight and passenger movement were transferred from the railways to the waterways and thereby moved at quarter of the current cost, which is quite feasible, there would be an ap- parent saving of half a billion dollars annually in traffic charges reducing the current transportation burden to s2O per capita, or s1o0 per family. or a dollar an acre on land, all of which saving might be measured in reduced cost of living. Excluding a few thou sands well-to-oo city familiess the typical American family pays out for the necessaries of life an average of about S40o per year. of which third goes directly or indirectly for trans portation and once this fraction is re- duced from a third to a quarter by cheapening of the rates through water carriage, that typical family cannot fail to enter on a. new lease of pros- perity if not of life itself"

The Stay at Home,

To travel with a we'll filled purse. a we'll stocked mind, a. sharp and intel ligent curiosity that is delight. To take sea trip as a tonic-tliat is ra- tfonal, too. But to go abroad, as cer- tain persons do by the shipload, for the mere sake of locomotion; to be able to say they have crossed the water (often at the cost of unspeak- able agonies); to stand ignorant upon historic battlefields, dumb and unap ' preciative before the great shrines Of art; to pass from city to city, from state to state. obicivious of their polit \ ical relations, their polity, their eco homie condition that Is incarnate folly afoot They were better off at home in a hammock.
 Dr. Samuel Johnson views the mat ter shrewdly. "The use of travelling" he says. 'sis to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are" The doctor lived long enough before the days of the perfected cam era and moving picture.

PhiTosophic Anarchists.

After this it will be easy to believe that there is such a thing as philo- sophie anarchists and that most of the anarchists are the philosophic variety How else shall we account for a host of them, estimated at 1000 strong, turning back from one of their red- Jagged and loud-1unged parades at the "G'wani" of single policeman. It will not do to say simply that tho fighting reaction of the band of anarchists is not keyed to respond to a single po- nceman and that it takes the sight Of a whole squad athwart their way to start a riot, or that these professional demonstrators against organized so- ciety were taken by surprise at the de- ltghtful incongruity of the lone off, cer's request for view of their per- init, as they might have been, for ex- ample, had he demanded in all serious hess to know if they had brought their visiting cards Such psychological scon- alterations may explain much, but they do not explain ala

TRUE WEIGHT AND MEAsuRE.

The bill introduced to the lesis1a- ture by Representative Carpenter oi Putnam. providing that 1t shan be un- lawful to sell any article of medicine in package form without the true weight or measure of the contents marked thereon, is a popular protec- tive movement against which there is little to be said.
 There are exceptions to all good rules. and there doubtless Ia to this, in the drug business. since the weight ard measure of plasters and pills and court plaster. and other smaller medi- cinal notions can neither be weighed nor measured
 This bill should be amended so that its provisions shall apply only to foods or to medicines sold in more than half-pint bottles, or by giving state of fcials discretion to mako allowance in cases of preparations not sold by weight or measure
 The justice of such exceptions is plain enough when attention is called to them.
 Tho Bulletin hopes Representative Carpenters bill will be so changed as to prevent an embarrassing condition to trade with reference to these small matters.
