NEW WIRELESS TELEPHONE.
Scientist Explains How He Sent Mes
sage Without Wires.

Professor Vannl of the Rome Wire
less institute, who recently telephoned
by wireless from Rome to Tripoli, has
given the details of how he was able to
send a telephone message across the
Mediterranean sea, a distance of near
Ny 700 miles.
4 Professor Vanni said in his expert
Pments he uses a liquid microphone, the
idea Of which was given him by Chi
chester Bell, Alexander Graham Bells
brother. With this and Moretti gener-
Pators the members of the Tripoli wire
less station heard him with perfect dis
tinctness, and those who knew him per-
sonally at once recognized his voice.
He also told how as an interesting
experiment he placed the horn of a
talking machine near the liquid micro
phone and tunes and songs played by
the instrument were heard clearly.

CONSERVED AN ESTATE.
The Late Judge Halsey Guarded
Property of Convicted Man for
Thirty Years.

Michael Reilly of Fairview, who
was recently discharged from the
asylum for criminal insane at Far
view after being confined for thirty
years, finds himself in comparatively
independent circumstances owing to
the honesty and careful management
of his estate by the late Judge G. l..
Halsey.
Reilly was a hotel keeper at Fair
view and owned a house known as
the Berkery Hotel About thirty
years ago he was convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced to eight
years in Jail for shooting a man
named Thomas May. Before his
sentence terminated he became in
sane and has been in confinement
until recently, when DR.. Fitzsim-
mons, superintendent of the new
hospital at Farview, decided the man
was cured and discharged him.
After his trial and conviction Mr..
Reilly had no money and there was
some debt on his hotel property,
which at that time was worth about
81 900. The late Judge G. l.. Hal
sey was counsel for the defendant
and looked after his property until
Reilly lost his mind and then was
appointed a committee of his estate.
After Mr.. Reilly was released the
other day he came to this city to
look up the late Judge Harding and
the late Judge Halsey. He learned
that both were dead and was referred
to Attorney John l.. Halsey, son
of Judge Halsey. The man explain
ed the case about the property and
said he believed Judge Halsey had a
few hundred dollars for him from the
old property at Fairview.
To the great surprise of Mr.
Reilly he was told that the late
Judge Halsey had $2,141.S5 in the
bank to his account, rent of the
property that had been placed at in
terest for him and further, that the
hotel property was still in his name
and free of debt. 1t is now worth
about $1,S00, having been repainted
several times, shingled and repaired
So that instead of couple of hun
dred dollars Mr.. Reilly finds himself
the owner of the property and a nice
bank account, sufficient to keep him
in comfortable circumstances for the
remainder Of his life.
The care of the property of the
unfortunate man was undertaken by
the late Judge Halsey without any
reward and reveals his strict homes
ty, carefulness and judgment in pro-
tecting the interests of his former
client. for so many years.-Wilkes-

Fosters Weather Bulletin
Copyrighted 1918 By W. 7. FOSTER

WASHINGTON, D. c., May r.
We are not expecting such danger
Gus storms as those Of recent months
but it is advisable to use care and
not go into unprotected places while
the storm due on May "a is passing.
Our danger signals will hang out
from May 20 to 81 and our readers
may expect the most severe storms
to occur close in front of the warm
waves and not far from the places
and dates noted for the disturbance
dates.
Shortage of Rainfall.
Indications favorable to a general
shortage of rainfall and some indi-
cations of damage to crops by
drought. That is expected to be the
general condition but some places,
on account of the severe storms will
get too much rain. The middle
southeastern states will have some
heavy local rains and similar condi-
tions may be expected in parts of
Pennsylvania, New York, the New
provinces. But large sections be-
tween meridian 50 and the Rockies
will be too dry for good of growing
crops.
Oats Crop to Suffer.
Much will depend on amount of
moisture in the soil middle of April.
Where the soil was well wet at that
time the crops may come through
the drought in good shape. Oats will
probably suffer more than other
crops.
Every Farmer Should Read This.
Prof. Hopkins of the University of
Illinois, severely attacks two errors
made by the U. S. Agricultural De-
partment in the past few years. He
says that the optimistic secretary
permitted the erroneous statement to
the effect that farm soils never wear
out and that the estimates of crop
productions were uniformly eXtrava-
CANT. These bulletins have fire.
quently stated that the government
reports of the crops over-estimated
the productions. The effect of such
over-estimates is to enable the big
spectators to buy at low prices and
of course the farmers and planters
are the losers. This matter should
be looked into and the government
reports more carefully made. Fol
a scientific department to declare
that farm soils do not wear out is Sc
ridiculous that we can find no ex-
cuse for it.

CURES PHAPLEs EASILY.
Simple Remedy That Clears Skin
Quickly of All Eruptions.

For several weeks past Peil, the
Druggist, has done big business in
selling Hokara, the skin healer that
has won so many friends in Homes
dale.
1t has been found to heal not only
all minor skin troubles, such as pim-
pies, blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly
scalp, complexion blemishes, itching
feet, piles, etc, but also the worst
sores, ulcers, or even chronic
eczema and salt rheum. There has
yet to be found any form of wound
or disease affecting the skin or mu-
cous membrane that Hokara does not
help, and it's action is so quick that
those who try it are simply delight
ed with it right from the start.
In spite of it's unusual curative
powers, the price is trifing. To con-
vince every one of it's merits, Mr..
Peil will sell liberal sized jar for
25c. And remember that if you do
not think it does what it claims, you
get your money back. You certain
ly can afford to try it on this plan.

ANCIENT man
HAD BIG Brain
Skull Unearthed In England
Indicates as Much.
IT WAS BURIED AGES AGO.
charred Wood, Worked Flint and
Bones of Animals Found With the
Skeeton-May Be Relics of the Late
Pleistocene Period-Teeth Are Very
Much Worn.

Skeleton-May Be Relics OF the Late
Pleistocene Period-Teeth Are Very
Much Worn.
The discovery of a prehistoric hu-
man skeleton in England may throw
much light on a very obscure period
in the formation Of the world and the
development of civilization. The skel-
eton was found near the village of
Halling, on the west bank of the Med
way. How it was unearthed and
what value it may have in the solution
of certain problems was explained re-
Gently at meeting Of the fellows of
the Royal Anthropologica institute.
The importance Of the discovery lies
not in the actual light it throws on the
transition stage from the paleolithic
to the neolithic periods, but in the as
surance 1t gives to archaeologists that
material still exists from which the
history of this long past period can be
reconstructed.
The skeleton was found in the course
of excavation work. 1t lay In
stratum of brick earth, with four over
laying strata, the lines of which were
unbroken and undisturbed. 1t was
evident that Jhe four upper strata had
been formed since the human remains
were deposited
Experts Interested.
Subsequent discoveries threw light
on the probable period at which the
burial was made. They included char
red wood, bones and q number of work
ed f1ints.
Experts examined the fiints, which
belonged to an indeterminate class oc-
curing both in late paleolithic and
early neolithic times. Animal bones
that were found are assigned to the
same date.
One expert expressed the opinion
that the brick earth in which the skele-
ton was found belongs to late pleisto-
Gene formation. In the corresponding
terrace on the opposite side of the val
ley the remains of pleistocene animals
occur, and it may be inferred that the
brick earth in which the skeleton was
found is of like age.
Very little is known of the English
people at this transitional period. The
Tilbury remains, which were found in
1883 at a depth of thirty-four feet,
were usually regarded as the solitary
representative of the Englishmen of
the period.
The brick earths at Halling are con-
siderably older than the formations at
Tilbury. Professor Keith has found,
however, close resemblance between
the Halling and the Tilbury men. Both
were strongly built, small men about
five feet four inches in stature.
Head Well Formed.
The Halling man had brain capac-
ity little above the modern average for
such head. The head is well formed,
with no traces of the great overhang-
ing brow ridges which characterize the
Neanderthal skull.
AS was the case with the Tilbury
skull, the teeth of the HaIling man are
much worn. Most Of the molar teeth
were lost prematurely through disease.
The disease, however, was not that

tlized races - namely, carries - but alb
scesses formed at the roots as a result

Notwithstanding the vanadium and
