WIRELESS APPARATUS is NEW
Beloit Professor invents Designs Of
Great Power After Four Years
Of Hard Labor.

Beloit, Wis.-After four years of
continuous labor Prof C. A. Culver
head of the physics department of Be-
lott college, has successfully designed
new wireless apparatus which is an
improvement over anything that has
yet been discovered. His new devices
have been purchased by a Chicago
firm.
One of the new designs is an I'm
proved form of apparatus for dem
onstrating theory of electrical waves
as applied to radio-telegraphy-tele
phony. 1t is a highly sensitive mech.
anism, which may be used for demon.
strative purposes and for work over
long distances. 1t embodies the latest
practices In the field and includes an
original condenser, the latter being
used in tuning" and wireless work.
The new condenser Is several times
as efficient for given size as the type
commonly used in such apparatus.
The new apparatus was recently
tested in the laboratories of Beloit
college and messages were sent
through SO inches of solid brick walls.

SEAL CATCH IS DIMINISHING
Instead Of $4,000 skins Annually Yield
In eehring Sea Does Not Exceed
More Than 1000.

st. Petersburg-In accepting the
American proposal to hold seal fish.
cry conference in Washington, tho
Russian government appears to be AMI
mated by a somewhat belated desire to
repair the mistake committed at the
Behring sea conference In not Indoors
ing the 60-mile limit. The result has
been that the seal rookeries In the
Commander islands are rapidly becom.
ing exhausted.
These fisheries are leased to Rus
sian company under contract which
expires this year. The substance OF
the report drawn up by the official sent
by the government to report upon the
condition of the rookeries Is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, formerly 10000 to $4,000
skins were obtained annually, the pres
ent yield does not exceed 1000. Even
this number is attained only by the
slaughter of fair proportion Of young
females. This procedure is necessary,
since the killing off Of the males Is
already leading to a decline In the
number of brood seals"
The conclusion arrived ut is that
unless some measures are taken to
put stop to pelagic sealing 1t would
be best to kill off the whole herd.
Although pelagic sealing has dimin-
ished the stock in the Pribyloff islands,
the enforcement of the 60-miles limit
has enabled the Americans partially
to cope with the evil. The main and.
indeed, the only offenders. appear to
be the Japanese. Although Japan has
not recognized the 60-mile limit, Amer
lean gunboats police 1t against all
corners. In the waters around the
Commander islands Japanese poach-
ers, although frequently fired upon by
the alert guards. commit incessant dep
rotations, and boldly come inshore
after fur seal and otter.
Much satisfaction Is felt here over
the prospects of putting an end to this
deplorable state of affairs. Japan sig
nifles her willingness to take part In
the impending conference II Great
Britain accepted the American invita-
ton, which has been assured, thanks
to the consent of Canada. All the In.
terested powers will thus be repre-
scented.
