New applications of wireless com rnunication are continu nua1ly being made. Two of the most interesting are those relating to telephO hOny in mines and automatic train control of railroad, writes V. J. Toumans in the New York Evening Post. A German system of wireless telephony in mine has recently been adopted at col fiery in South Yorkshire and is said to work satisfactorily.
 It is expected that in case of any >disaster in the mine that would lead to the destruction of a wire line com munication will be possible between the entombed miners and those above ground. Ordinary wireless tnstFu ments of portable type are used.

her successor. The choice of the

archduchess, daughter of Archduke

characterize the features OF the

had blonde hair and gray eyes. and
her long, slender feet, hands and
wrists were said TO indicate her

But the king had been in love with
Mercedes and so no one expected
that this marriage would be blessed
with great happiness. The Spaniards

candidate for President. All the omens

The bird scared aloft and then poised
itself far up toward the skies, occa-
sionally slowly and very gracefully
and without apparent motion of the
wings circling around and around
that great company.

everyone. II diverted those who were
listening to the campaign orators. 1t
was everywhere regarded as mag

for Henry Clay.
ut was the chief event of that
gathering. Throughout the State the
Wings were told that the election
of Henry Clay was assured. The
American eagle had scared aloft over
the greatest Wing gathering New
York had ever known, remaining
there until the meeting was over.
yet after all Henry Clay was de-
feated simply because James G.
Burney, the Abolition candidate for
President. drew away from the
Wings just enough votes to enable
Polk to get plurality of about 5000.

A little pig, just like growing plant,
needs sunshine. In, both cases 1t seems
to be a sort Of tonic that makes the
best development possible.
1t is a great mistake to keep sheep IN
warm pen in winter. Their fleece
protects them, and if they are kept dry
they will require nothing else.
A cow can live or maintain herself on
roughage and she can live and produce
on good pasture grass without concen-
trates. but with the ordinary farm
roughage the cow must have concen-
trates to enable her to produce profta-
bly,.
Raw linseed oil is the best remedy
for constipation. It acts more quickly
than any Of tue other simple remedies.
The COW, having Il very complicated
digestive tract. is very hard to treat
for any bowel trouble, but raw sllnSeed
oil will usually act in from ten 10
twelve hours Give half a pint at a
