Morse conceived the idea of the cleo.

Of the magnetism is proportional 10
the number of turns of wire around the
iron.
Finally, after much experimentation,
in 1885 he constructed telegraph line,
one-half mile in length. in room, and
with this real telegraphing was done.
In 1887 Morse asked congress for aid,
which was refused, He then applied
TO foreign countries with no better re-
suits. After long disheartening waits
and almost dcspairing, congress granted
him S30,0 900 for his trial line. But that

Erroneous Ideas.

Imagine the state of the knowledge
of storms before 1882. People thought
that the storms moved in the direction
OF the wind; and many vessels were
lost, the sailing master being con
founded BY the whirling action OF the
terrific hurricane from which he knew
not how TO protect himself.
But with certain knowledge of the
mechanics OF storms sailing master
can now. even without foreknowledge
OF their coming, so direct bis course as
TO run free from danger. The surface
winds curve spirally inward toward the
center, but the lower clouds move in al
most perfect circular path around the
center of the storm. Therefore the
master must direct his vessel on a
course away from the center, and IN

lowing splendid tribute to our stan
dard bearer, Gov. Woodrow Wilson,
which IS all the more noticeable,
coming from such bitter Repubii-
can sheet:
"No candidate of any party since
politics began ever won in conven-
ton his nomination more fairly and
honorably than Gov. Woodrow Will
son. He is nominated. if ever can
didate for President was, for the
sole reason that he is the choice OF a
majority of the Democrats Of the
United States.
"Since the convention met there
could not possibly have been more
correct attitude than that which he
has maintained or a more honorable,
decorous and manly contest than
that which has been conducted in
his behalf by his managers and ad-
berents. His success at Baltimore is
due neither to chance nor to intri-
one. It is free from the slightest
faint of embarrassing bargain or cor
rupt procurement. It has heen
achieved over every obstacle which
honest opposition or masked jeal-
ousy could put in the way. Its re-
suits. as the record Of the forty-six
ballots shows beyond the possibility

we talked to some delightful native
