THGRE ARE TREEs THAT rALK.
They Catch and Send Wireless Mes
sages for Sever I Miles.
youths Companion }

In a certain very real sense, trees
can talk" Their voice is not the
sound of the wind in their branches,
which the poets have called "whis-
pering," or "sighing" or "howling."
Real tree talk" consists of yibra-
tioqs that do not affect the unaided
ear, and are perceptible only by the
aid of delicate instruments. In fact,
these vibrations are the electric
waves used in wireless telegraphy, in
which trees are curiously sensitive.
The discovery was made quite ac-
cidentally by officers of our signal
service in the course Of experiments
connected with the improvement Of
the Held telephone system of the
army In setting up certain telephone
wires 1t was found that tree was an
especially good conductor of an cleo
trio current. Struck by this fact, tic
officer in charge of the experiments
determined to find out whether he
could use trees in wireless telegra-
ply, instead OF the tall masts that
are usually set up. He believed that
trees would catch or send the cleo
trio waves even better than masts,
because trees have a multitude of
"antennae' in the twigs and leaves
of their outspreading brarrhes
whereas the masthead presents only
small point
He put this theory to the test, and
the result was the Introduction, in
California, of a wireless system of
tree telegraphy, which may prove to
be of great value in time of war.
Messages can be sent from one part
OF an army to another with remark
able rapidity. 1t would be unneces-
| sary to haul about cumbrous masts,
| and go to the trouble and labor of
setting them up. Instead, the signal
officer could rush to the nearest tree
and commusicate his message to it.
He need only pierce it's bark with
a sharp nail, connect that with his
| instrument and set every woody fibre
OF the tree pulsating and every twig
| and leaf swapping off "Hertzian"
| waves. Thus the tree would pro-
| claim his message to ali the other
trees and set them in turn throbbing
with the same vibrations. In ano-
ther tree provided with receiving
instrument properly attuned the ap-
paratus would Immediately begin to
tick off the words of the message and
communicate to the trained human
ear what all the tree tops are chat
| tering about.
1t is said that wireless messages
sent by means of trees may be dis
tinctly heard for about three miles;
beyond that distance they become too
faint to be interpreted

Plant Poor Land to Cow Peas.
q. II. Duggar.


Why should any farmer displace
cotton by COW peas on his poorer
land? CD Because cow peas pro-
tect him against losing any considera-
bic amount of money as he might do
by cultivating poor acre in 10-cent
cotton. (2) Because COW pea seed
are in universal demand, selling now
as surely as bale of cotton or a
broken mule colt, usually at a price
of $1.5O to So, or. more, per bushel,
thus yielding good cash profit above
the cost Of seed, Of phosphate, and of
two or three cheap civilizations. (3)
Because, even If labor conditions and
limited equipment should make it i'm
practicable to harvest and sell the
seed or to cut the hay or to Craze off
the entire plant, there would still be
a fair profit in plowins the entire
growth under for fertilizer, when it
should increase the yield of the 1914
cotton crop by 800 to 900 pounds of
seed cotton per acre. With 10-cent
cotton this increase would be worth
at least $40 per acre.
But more attractive inducement
for increasing the acreage in COW
peas is the production thereby of an
increased amount of the best Of for
age, with the consequent economy in
the consumption Of corn by the teams
and the increased ability of the farm
to maintain profitaLly an increased
number OF salable live stock.

WOMAN LEAPS INTO WE'LL.
Woman, Told Case is Hopeless, Ends
Lifo by Drowning.

Macon, Ga, June 5.-Because she
was victim of the dreaded pellagra
and had no chance to recover, Miss
Kttie Tyner who lived near Cross
Keys, with her brother, Ben Tyner,
ended her life at o'clock this morn
ing by jumping into we'll OF next

When the well was explored the

tion with the head about foot above
the surface of the water, the hands
clasped under the chin.

young woman, is an East Macon mer-

TWO ladies PAINFULLY HURT.
Mrs. o. X. STauldin aud Miss Charles
Hurled from Buggy.
(Greenville News, 6th. }

Mrs. Oscar X. Mauldin and Miss
Corne1ia Charles, who were injured
in runaway yesterday morning on
Pendleton street, were both resting
well last night and their injuries are
not as serious as was thought at
first. Miss Charles was fearfully
bruised and remained unconscious
for some time, the mental shock
physical injuries. Mrs. Mauldin was
also seriously bruised, but is resting
much easier now.
The accident occurred near the
plant Of the Lawton Lumber Com
pany. Mrs. Mauldin and Miss
Charles were driving down Pendle-
ton street when a part of the harness
broke and the horse became fright
ened. A colored driver of the Law
| ton Lumber Company attempted to
catch the bride Of the frightened an
imal and as he made a grab for the
| reins the horse whirled around and
both ladies' were hurled to the pave
ment. Immediate assistance was
given and the ladies were given
prompt medical attention.
The frightened holsa then dashed
down Pendleton street, closely fol-
| lowed by two-horse team of the
Lawton Lumber Company, which be-
came frightened at the commotion.
Aside from the serious aspects of
the runaway there was an interesting
and more or less amusing incident
A fox terrier was in the buggy with
Mrs Mauldin and Miss Charles, and
the little dog remained in the vehicle
during the entire time, and when the
horse was stopped by policeman the
small animal wagged his tail in ap-
parent glee, and, maintaining his
place in the buggy, was driven back
down Main street with the two mem
bers Of the police department, who
returned the horse to it's owned.

GreenvilIe Woman Suicides.

r
Burned beyond recovery by dose
OF about an ounce of carbolic acid,
Mrs. Minnie Wiggs, who lived at 3O4
David street, this city, died this
morning about II o'clock. Mrs.
Wigs drank the acid this morning
about o'clock, with the purpose OF
committing suicide, it is generally
believed, and did not regain con-
seriousness before her death. AL
though medical assistance was quick
ly summoned and everything possi-
Bile done to avert the fatal effects of
the poison, 1t soon became evident
that she could not recover.
Mrs. Wigs was the widow Of the
late Silas Wigs. She is survived by
six children. She was apparently In
good health and spirits, and no mo-
tive for the deed Is known generally.
1t is said, however, that she had
threatened on previous occasions to
commit self-destuction. Mrs. Wigs

PANIC OF 1907 RECALLED.
Washington News Causes Slump on
New York Stock Exchange.

New York, June 4.-EXcitement
on the stock exchange during the
first hour Of to-day's market was
probably without parallel since the
panic of 1907. Stocks were literally
poured out regardless Of quoted
prices with declines greatest in the
Standard Oil shares
One of the many factors making
liquidation was the overnight news
from Washington indicating a radi-
cal attitude on the part Of the ad-
mfnistration in connection with the
American Tobacco Company and the
Standard Oil company. Another in
fiuence was the decidedly lower level
of prices quoted by London.
The steady decline Of the past few
weeks has caused a general calling
OF loans by financial institutions. This
as yet has made only slight impress
sion upon the money market, but a
stiffening of rates for both call and
time accommodations is expected be-
fore the end of the month
Within the first hour fifty new low
records for the year were made, with
losses ranging from to points
among the standard issues. The av-
erage of prices was at the lowest
point since the 1907 panic.
The selling movement gathered
greater momentum before noon, and
the lower prices were registered
practically throughout the list. The
aggregate of sales during the morn
ing session was we'll in excess of
100000 shares.

flower beds, and around the inside of
the walls are representations done in

tree. This, with some other trees, Is

the olive stones, and the oil yielded
by the berries Is considered sacred
and is sold at high price.
