SPARKLESS WIRELESS
INVENTED BY A FRENCHMAk
Said Also to Make Wireless Telephones
Practicable.

The Paris Matn announces that
system Of wireless telegraphy without
sparks has been invented by a young
French engineer, Julien BethenOd. BY
BethenOd's invention it is said to be
possible to establish wireless stations
in close proximity to one another with
out the messages being confused and
that it is also possible to exchange
communications ten times faster than
by submarine cables and ten times
less expensively.
Mr.. Bethenods wireless sparkless
system necessitates as plant only an
alternatOr and antennae of a special
character.
The primary advantage of the sys-
tenn is that sound waves sent direct
from the machine in the antennae will
not be interfered with by other posts
on the same zone. Moreover, thanks
to an automatic system of perforated
bands, two stations will be able to ak
change their messages at a maximum
speed of 200 words n minute.
Other advantages of Bethenod's sys-
tenn are greater simplicity of installa
ton and cheapness, each wireless sta
ton being capable of doing the work
Of ten cables, yet costing hardly more
than 100000 BethenOd's discovery
also makes wireless telephony still
more possible With a spark only 1000
oscillations per second can be produc-
ed, while the human voice can go to
10000 vibrations. BY sparkless wire
less telephony 10000 oscillations per
second can be produced.

TOBACCO GROWN IN IDAHO.
Dry Climate May Yield a New Fine
Quality For the Smoker


A new brand of tobacco for cigar
wrappers may be developed as the re
suit Of experiments which have shown
that the leaf can be grown in Idaho
on a profitable basis and that excel
lent facilities for curing are offered by
the dry climate. The experiment has
been made in Boise valley by a Min
neapolis seed firm. Under irrigation a
fine field of tobacco has been devel-
oped this season in Boise valley. State
agricultural officials are convinced that
the practica bility of the crop here has
been proved.
"The chief pest OF the tobacco plant
is the tobacco worm," says Professor
]. W. Jones of the state immigration
bureau in speaking of the crop. ''It is
believed that the cool nights in Idaho
will prevent pupation, and there will
be fewer worms to bother the plants.
This fact has been demonstrated with
other pests.
"In the humid regions where tobacco
is grown it is necessary to erect eX-
pensive drying and curing buildings.
The building is opened during drying
weather and closed during damp or
rainy weather, which, of course, inter
feres with the process. In Idaho we
can absolutely control moisture condi-
tons, thus developing a uniformly
high quality of leaf"

BOTH BORN ON FEB. ~.
Yet General Baden Powell Is Fifty-s si>
and His Fiancee Twenty two.

An engagement recently announced
in London is attracting attention in
many lands. 1t is that Of Lieutenant
General Sir Robert Baden-Powell, head
of the boy scouts. The hero of Mafe-
king IS nearly fifty-six and his fiancee,
Miss Olive Soames, about twenty-five.
General Baden-Powell, in talking about
his romance, said:
THE affair is not so new as persons
imagine. AS a matter Of fact, Miss
Soames was travelling in the West In
dies when went there in January, and
we were in America on Washington's
birthday, Feb, 22, which, curiously
enough, is the date of my fancee's
birthday and Of my own. / well re
member how we were both interested
in the little axes which they sell for
wear in the buttonhole in the United
States on that day"

fetch there. This process of running
full time, even at the risk OF producing
a surplus, cheapens products to the
American consumer, for II our mills
made only the goods that could be con-
sumed at home, the cost 10 the Ameri-
can consumers would be increased.
For instance, n great American carpet
mill when running full time, will
make more carpets than can be sold to
the American people, but by doing 30
the cost Of production Is lessened, for
the reason that fixed charges are the
same when they run three-quarter
time as when they run on full time.
Assuming that by running three-quar.
ter time they could make all the car.
pets they could sell in the United
States, the cast per yard under these
circumstances would be increased s
cents, whereas, by running full time
the cost per yard is decreased cents
to the American consumer. The un-
salable surplus portion is dumped on
the London market and sold there at
cost or less. This Immediately sets up
howl on the part of those Ameri-
cans who are seeking an excuse to rip
open the tariff, because we sell cheap
er abroad than at home.

The Payne Act as Revenue Producer

Tarin revision downward and reci-
procity caused such a deficit in the
revenue during Grover Cleveland's
administration that we were Obliged
to sell $262,000,000 bonds to defray the
current necessary expenses of the gov
ernment.
Duties had been cut down low in or
der to invite heavier importations, or.
in other words, reciprocity was put
into practice on competitive products,
and while there was enough brought in
under the Wilson act to paralyze our
domestic industries, and throw mil
lions of men employed therein out of
work, there was not enough imported
to furnish sufficient revenue, and a
deficit had to be met by the sale Of
bonds. This created distrust, and
there was a financial panic every year
during the existence of that tariff act.
and, save the Roosevelt panic of 1907,
there has been none since the protec-
tive tariff act was enacted in it's place.
Is this any reason for its repeal?
Why Gamble With Prosperity
AS the Philadelphia Inquirer has SO
well said:
This country is moving along a
course of great prosperity. Why
change it from that course?
"At Washington there is a Republi-
can administration which believes that
American industry, which involves the
payment of wages to employees, should
be protected, at least sufficiently to
defend the wage Garner against the
cheap labor Of Europe. Why change
that Republican administration and its
policy?
"The Democratic party quarrels with
that policy. 1t declares all protection
to be unconstitutional" Its candidate
for president is a free trader and
freely declares that there should be
radical reductions Of the tariff sched
ules. But under Republican rule the
mills are open, prosperity is pro-
nounced throughout the country, and
why take chances under a party which
would proceed to demolish the pro

Europe Has Two Schedules.

But Secretary Shaw calls attention
to the fact that Europe encourages the
maintenance OF two distinct schedules
of prices. A higher one for their do
mestic or home consumption, and a
lower one for export. He says there
is scarcely a manufactured article in
all Europe that cannot be purchased
from 10 per cent to rs per cent cheap
er for export to the United States
than for domestic consumption in the
countries Of production. He quotes in
confirmation OF this George Paish, edi-
tor Of the London Statist, the greatest
economic journal in Europe, who was
Mr.. Shaw's guest in this country
Secretary Shaw introduced him to
an audience that he was addressing
and Mr.. Paish sat on the platform. In
the course of the discussion Secretary
Shaw made the assertion that every
European government except England
encourages the sale of merchandise
abroad at lower prices than at home.
He added that he was not certain as
to the attitude of England, and re-
'NA4NN bAS iuCSNAOA " MI. alSll, W no
promptly replied that England does
not encourage it, but the British peo-
pie practice it." Americans alone, of
all the people in the world, complain
that goods are sometimes sold abroad
cheaper than at home. Those who do
the most harm in these attacks upon
the tariff in unsettling business are
Republicans, who profess to believe
in the principles Of protection, but who
are led through ignorance to denounce
its practical application.
