HARD TO SEE.
Even When the Facts About Coffee
are Plain.

1t is curious how people will refuse
to believe what one can clearly see.
Tell the average man or woman that
the slow but cumulative poisonous
effect of caffeine-the alkaloid in tea
and coffee-tends to weaken the heart,
upset the nervous system and cause
indigestion. and they may laugh at
you IL they don't know the facts.
Prove 1t by science or by practical
demonstration in the recovery Of cof-
fee drinkers from the above condi-

man family will shrug their shoulders.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Principle of the Mysterious System
of Transmitting Messages by
Series of Electrical Waves Pro
jected Through the Atmosphere.

During the last few weeks we have
heard great deal about wireless
biography, and hundreds of people
have confessed their ignorance of
this mysterious system OF transmit
ting the messages of mankind. On
most any street corner you could flnd
the village oracle expounding and e2-
planning the dark mysteries OF wire
less, and nine times out of ten he
knew nothing at all about it.
1t is quite impossible to describe
the details of wireless telegraphy SO
that a novice will understand, but
the principle of the thing is easily
comprehended. AS is known, light
and heat move in waves whose
lengths can be measured Thus, the
sun gives out in every direction light
in a series of undulating waves,
which may not only be measured, but
can be DETECTED, polarized, and so
On. Some idea of this may be gain
ed from the Well-knoWn fact that
when stone is thrown into a
smooth pool Of water a series Of cir
cular waves extends in all directions.
II any floating objects come within
these waves they are osclllated.
1t was the Iamented Professor
Hertz who discovered that electricity,
like light and heat, also moves in
waves which may be measured. Just
precisely how these waves pass
through the atmosphere is not wholly
understood, but it is believed that
| they have some relation to ether,
| which is omnipresent and which is
believed to constitute all matter I'M
der different negative electrical con-
ditions. In wireless biography a
series of HertZian waves is set up
| by powerful electrical dynamos OF
batteries, and these are discharged
/ from the top of high mast or pole.
! These waves extend in all directions.
and, unless their force is expended
by distance they excite certain eft
fects in the receivers of wireless
telegraph instruments within the
zone, just as the waves disturb chips
on a pool. Messages are sent and
IIeceiyed somewhat on the plan OF
sordinary Morse code by wires, III
I ti.at electrical impulses are regulated
SO as to spell words according TO 9
code.
In recent years maay kinds of re
ceivers have been used and the pro
cess is now simpler than formerly
but any successful transmission o.
waves depends a good deal on The
state Of the atmosphere, electrica
/ storms being disadVantageots. Aist
ing in the same zone much confusion
results and often messages are trans
nitted with great difficulty am
sometimes not at ALL This may &C
count for some of the delays AM
confusion of the last few days.
To Marconi belongs the credit Q
making a practical success Of TIL
discoveries of others, but to Hert:
belongs the credit of making the sys
tenn possible.

Exhibited at National conserva-
ton Exposition.
A bas-relief map of the southern
states, measuring 200 feet by so
feet, in a building especially con-
structed for it, is to be erected at
the National Conservation Exposition
TO be held in Knoxville, Tennessee,
n the fail OF 1913. The MAP will be
built up Of soils and minerals of the
various regions represented, and Will
show the mountain and valley CON
tours; the principal streams, with
actual running water, and the e1
tent Of navigability present and pos
sible; the overlooked lands OF the
Mississippi, Of the state OF Florida,
and elsewhere; the, location OF cities,
including tie Atlantic and Gulf ports,
which will receive renewed CONNER
cial life with the completion OF the
Panama Canal; the south's forest
areas, and the railways and mail
highways. Present and possible flu
ture power development along the
upper river courses will also be
shown, with miniature transmission
lines strung from the sources of pow
er to the places where it is or can
be utilized. A second-floor balcony
viii be constructed to afford the
visitor a birds eye view Of the map.
Upon this balcony will be displayed
floral and other exhibits of soil pro-
ducts not shown on the lower floor.
Along the sides of the map behind
tie glass, will be exhibited the Varl-
our soils of the southern states IN
cross section, the soils from each
state being beneath its representa-
ton On the model. On the other
side OF the aisle, opposite to the
soils, will be contrasted the products
raised under poor and under scienti-
Tic methods. 1t is planned that the
experiment statjCns of the several
states of the south will have their
exhibits in this building.
The structure is IC be known as
the agricultural and land building,
and is TO measure goo by $50 feet.
its interior walls are to be CON
struIted Of finished wood from the
different states, SO that the building
will itself be mammouth OF sol

AS an annex to the building will
be erected a large auditorium with q

will be held lectures on various:
