Wireless Teiosraphy In East Africa.
The railway and the telegraph are
playing an important part in the eco
homic conquest of Africa. Within the
last few months two wireless tele-
graph stations have been established
at MuanZa and Bukoba. German East

these has a radius of 500 kiiometers
(S73 miles,. Muanza is now the term
inus OF the land lines of the German
colony. According to newspaper state
ment a powerful additional wireless
station will soon be opened at Tabora,
equipped with apparatus for trans
mission to a distance of nearly $500

as they fold up small enough to be
taken in a steamer trunk.
Thousands Of steps can be saved
daily by the use Of a wheel tray. a
black-finished wheel tray is very light
in weight, hut able to sustain $50
pounds. Everything necessary for sery-
ing meal can go to the table in one
trip.
Much sickness which is caused BY
impure water is entirely eliminated by
the use of a good filter. A water filter
connected back of the faucet which in

Another filter, which can be attached
to the faucet without the use of tools.
is a disc filter, The water passes
through discs which catch the dirt and
filter all the water which is drawn.

Something that fills long felt want
is a pneumatic sweeper requiring no
electricity and combining pneumatic
suction nozzle and revolving brush.

price. In one operation it picks up
lint, pins, threads, dwellings, ETC., and
thoroughly pneumatic cleans. The de
vice is fully guaranteed, and the fact
that nearly a thousand are being made
each day is evidence Of the excellent
satisfaction they are giving. One Of
these sweepers makes a splendid addi-
ton to the equipment Of any house

A practical labor saver is a silver
clean pan which does quick and sat
