HERTZ THE REAL DlSC0VERER
Marooni Made Practical Success Of
the Wireless, but Was Not First
In the Field.

The principle OF wireless telegraphy
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 series of undulating waves which
may not only be measured, but can be
detected, polarized, and so on. Some
idea of this may be gained from
the well-known fact that when a stone
is thrown into a smooth pool OF wa
ter series OF circular waves extends
in all directions. If any floating OBJ
ject comes within these waves they
are oscillated.
It was the lamented Prof. Hertz
who discovered that electricity, like
light and heat, also moves in waves
which may be measured Just precise
ly how these waves pass through the
atmosphere is not wholly understood,
but it is believed that they have some
relation to ether, which is omnipres-
ent and which is believed to constitute
all matter under different negative
electrical conditions. In wireless tel
dlblJ StllSS u Iltl lLldn WdNOo
are set up by powerful electrical dyna-
mos or batteries, and these are dis
charged from the Top of a high mast
or pole. These waves extend in all
directions, and, unless their force is
expended by distance they excite cer-
tain effects in the receiver of wireless
telegraph instruments within the zone,
just as the waves disturb chips on a
pool. Messages are sent and received
somewhat on the plan Of ordinary
Morse code by wires, in that electrical
impulses are regulated so as to spell
words according TO a code.
To Marconi belongs the credit of
making a practical success Of the dis
coveries of others, but to Hertz be-
longs the credit Of making the sys-
tenn possible.

Largest Flying Fish.

The largest flying fish on record
was served up for breakfast on the
British warship Ardeola a short time
ago. The Ardeola was homeward
bound and was off the Canary Islands
when a large school of flying fish was
observed. They were apparently in
full fight from some deep sea enemy
and travelling rapidly. AS the ship
met and passed them several flew on
board and were seized by the crew as
welcome additions TO the mess. One
OF the fish measured 10 inches; the
largest flying fish ever seen before the
Ardeola's catch have never exceeded
10 inches. The big one was fried for
the captains breakfast. Flying fish
are very palatable and taste like

ORIGIN OF FAMOUS PHRASE
Belief that Common Political Term
Sprang From Horse Race Held
In Tennessee.

The political term dark horse" II
thought to have had it's origin in the
following circumstances:
In the last century there lived In
Tennessee character" named Flynn
an elderly person who dealt In horses
Flynn generally contrived to own a
speedy nag or two for racing purposes
If he could arrange for "a good thing
during his peregrinations throughout
the state.
The best OF F1ynn's flyers was a
coal black stallion named Dusky Pete,
almost a thoroughbred and able to 60
in the best of company.
One day Flynn visited a town where
a race meeting was ir progress. He
entered Pete. The people, knowing
nothing of the horses antecedents and
not being over impressed by his ap-
pearance, backed the local favorite
heavily against the stranger.
Just as the beasts were being sad
died for the race, "A certain Judge Nc
Mlnamee, who was the "oracle" OF
that part of the state, arrived on the
course and was made one Of the race
judges.
AS he took his place on the stand he
was told of the folly Of the owner OF
the strange entry Running his eye
over the track the Judge instantly rec
ognized Pete Gentlemen" said Nc
Miuamee, there's dark horse in this
race. as you'll soon find out"
He was right. Pete, 'the dark horse,
lay back until the three-quarter pole
was reached, when he went to the
front with a rush and won the race.

Judging by the facts, women are
pretty fully in possession of formal
education. If we examine this monopt
oily a little more carefully we shalt
find that while in the kindergarten
and in the elementary schools boys
furnish 81 per cent of the enrolment,
simply because more boys are born in
civilized communities than girls, az
soon as we reach the high schools

Liquor Lie Mailed

A gentleman of this city recently over
heard a conversation between two farm
ers from the interior of the state and
a representative of the saloon people.
The saloon man was putting up a pow
erful argument against the prohibition
amendment. Among other things he
stated that in case the amendment be-
came law the country people would
no longer be permitted to make either
cider or wines While this argument is
absolutely groundless, it belongs to the
class which will be given out by the
field workers of the liquor interests, and
by which many votes will be won for
the detestable business. = Sistersville.

a while. Senator Heybourn thinks too
much attention has been given to the
liquor seller and too little to the liquor
consumer. Wherever and whenever
any measure can be taken to restrict
or stop the sale and use of liquor that
measure ought to be taken, but it looks

Wheeler Beasley and his wife, of
Birmingham, Alabama, sold liquor to
a minor and, after getting the boy
drunk, put him on a brush heap and
set fire to the pile, hoping thereby to
hide the evidence. The boy was badly
burned. but was rescued. Beasley and
his wife were tried and found guilty
on the charge of violating the prohibit
ton law, but because their victim has
left the country it is doubtful if more
serious charge will be placed against
them. This is one more evidence that
the liouor seller will stop at nothing.
