eeautIful Rocks Of State Shown.

With monument men coming from
all parts OF the United States and ex-
hibitions amounting TO half a million
dollars now in place the 1914 eonven-
ton of the National Retail Monument
Dealers Association of America. which
opened in the Auditorium at Milwau-
kee. promises to be one of the most
interesting in the history of the or
ganization.
Otto Rathman. secretary OF the local
convention committee, says the exhi-
bition is exceptionally interesting.
1t includes hundreds of varieties of
granite and marble. and none is hand
somer than that OF the Wisconsin
quarries.
Of these. the Montello CWis) quar-
ries, which furnished the granite used
in the construction of Grants tomb
and the Berlin (Wis.) quarries, which
furnished the beautiful black porphyry
of which the interior of McKinley's
tomb is constructed ere especially in
teresting to Badgers.
The Montello chocolate granite and
the porphyry from Berlin are among
the hardest varieties know" said c. S.
Richter. Montello. "A similar granite
is found in Egypt and it is a strange
coincidence that near Montello is one
of the three indigenous beds of Egyp-
tan lotus flowers knoS 20 exist in
the United States, which proves there
must be some similarity between
Egypt and Wisconsin which hasn't
been noticed in other ways"

One interesting exhibit is a repro
duction of Scipio's tomb in Rome, done
in white Vermont marble.
Another handsome exhibition is a
Lohrville (Wis.) brown granite per
gola-like structure. shown by the
American Granite company of Milwau-
kee. 1t is intended as memorial foun-
tain to be placed in public park and
will be shown at the Panama Pacific
exposition in San Francisco next year.
None could pass without remarking
a massive green granite monument on
the lower step of which stands beau

and her arm encircling a sheaf of flow

about to drop.
One looks in vain for the tall white
obelisk or shaft that is common in the
old portions of cemeteries. The ghost

DISAPPEARED
Coffee Ais Vanish Before Postum.

1t seems almost too good to be
true, the way headache, nervousness,
insomnia, and many other obscure
troubles vanish when coffee is dis
missed and Postum used as the regI-
lar table beverage.
The reason is clear. Coffee con-
tains a poisonous drug caffeine
which causes the trouble, but Postum
contains only the food elements in
choice hard wheat with little mo-
lassess
A Phila.. man grew enthusiastic and
wrote as follows:

No one could object to the quaint

While prospecting in the Talkeetna mountains few weeks ago he had the good fortune to come across the den of family oe black foxes. The animals showed no fear and Conrad was able to get close enough to see that their fur was not in prime condition, as 1t showed a browRish tinge. He was fortunate in locating their den and has made preparations to take them alive and should realize a good price from some of the fox breeders.

Difficulties of the Wireless
Phone Are Said to Be Ove

NEW YORK, May i'.-R r
Crane, one of three operators at the
Marconi station at the Wanamaker
building, which recently talked with
Philadelphia and steamers at sea by
wireless telephone for the first time
in this country in a commercial mes
sage way. explains the achievement.
Now that we have succeeded.
said Mr. Crane. there Is nothing
very wonderful about It. F. A. Hart.
Fl f. Campbell and myself are the
operators at this station and we have
been trying for three months TO send
the voice, Several times we thought
we had succeeded. only to find that
the success was only partial. There
will be no difficulty in the future.
Wireless telephony and wireless
biography are very similar. The
only difference is that the voice is
heard in one and dots and dashes in
the other. To begin with. this sta
lion uses a current of four anperes
and 220 volts That gives radia-
ton OF about two amperes. which
means that the message leaves our
antennae with the strength of two
amperes, which under favorable con
ditions. will carry the voice $500
miles Under moderately adverse
tbfiittVils we SHOuid tdlk Suu niles.
and under the worst conditions
should always reach Philadelphia.
How Message Travels.
Sending wireless message Is like
dropping a stone into a still pool.
The message leaves the wires in os-
citations or waves. and travels with
equal force in every direction. When
the Geographic sender is used this
message is broken into dots and
dashes. That means that the receiv-
ing station gets waves broken into
varying lengths. and these are trans
lated into words. BY using the vocal
sender. the words are sent of in
waves in just the same manner. This
transmitter reduces the voice to tho
same kind of units A. in wireless te-
legraphy, and they are caught on the
same wires and heard in the receivers
already in use.
The whole secret Of the wireless
telephone is> the sender. This has
not been protected with patents rs
yet and its details will not be made
public until 1t is. The new device Is
simple and can be made cheaply. As
soon as possible 1t will be put into
use in every wireless station"
