Wireless Stations" in Roman Times


A few miles north of Marseille, and
within easy walk of the tram to AK
en-Provence. lies typical Provencal
village that tourists usually miss. 1t
was founded by the Romans during
their occupation of the south of
France and is built in accordance with
the customs of that time. The houses
appear to be perched on top Of each
other, but on closer inspection are
found to be built on lodges on hill
side. This hill is the most interesting
feature of the place. What appears as
solitary crag is in reality castle,
the rooms. Notifications, etc, being cut
out of the solid rock and forming a
fortress practically impregnable in
those days. At the side of the castle
is a round tower, about forty feet in
height and seven feet in diameter. The
wireless station" in Roman times. The
lofts, from which the birds, bearing
messages. were sent direct to Rome.
The whole of the interior was con-
structed of a very hard cement, which,
with the wear of ages, is now slowly
decaying, and only one perfect loft"
now remains. There was accommoda-
ton for about $50 pairs of birds. to-
gether with an abundant water and
grain supply. the attendants being
quartered in the castle.

An Insect Menagerie.

FROM the Scientlhc AmerIcau
What Prof. Habitte calls his insect
menagerie is installed at one Of the lab
oratories of the Jardin des Plantes es-
tablishment, and he now has upward of
fifty well arranged boxes or cages where
he observes insect life. He thinks that
this should be enlarged into an I'm
sectarian," or extensive menagerie, to
which the public should be admitted. This
is already done in some countries and
their usefulness is recognized. No great
expense is needed, all that is required
being a hall with large tables on which
the insect cages are placed in good view
with glass or wire-gauze covers. The in
sect world Is of greater interest than
may perhaps be imagined, and no doubt
such an enterprise would be much ap-
preciated by the public.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. November 2s.-The cot
ton market was very quiet today and
business seemed to be largely in the
way of switching between months or
evening up for over the week end.
Liverpool was a point or two under ex-
pectations and the local opening was
to points lower. while prices worked
some to points under last night
closing figures during the early trad
ing. This probably reflected scattering
liquidation after the advance Of yester-
day. but the undertone was steady. and
the early news suggested no change OF
consequence in the general situation.

CAPITAL, ST.. 900, 900.

CHICAGO. November IS. Wheat
sagged in price today, influenced by a
from Liverpool The fact that yester-
days export business from this side of
the Atlantic was said to have exceeded
the record helped to bring about Il
rally, but the effect failed to last.
The nearness of the beginning of
was given much attention. After open
ing haA to 9sa24 down the market
recovered to above last nights level
and then suffered a fresh decline.
Corn eased off with wheat and as a
result of hedging sales. Buyers grew
more numerous. however. on the de-
scent. Opening prices. which ranged
from shade to AaA off. were fol-
lowed by a slight additional setback.
Traders in oats acted with evident
caution. The main influence was the
weakness of wheat.
Provisions went lower with hogs.
Buying on the part of the stockyard
interests gradually operated as a check
on the bears.
In later dealings the corn market
sympathized with the late gains scored
by wheat. The close was unsettled
varying from a shade off to Aa2s ad-
vance as compared with last night.
Renewal of good demand from the
seaboard led afterward to decided
wheat upturn. Rainy weather reports
from Argentina counted also against
the bears. The close was strong, Bal

To Fiuht Iowa Airships.

Grinnell, Feb. 23.-The Wright
company of New York and Dayton,
Ohio, of which Oryille Wright, the
pioneer airman, is president, has
served formal notice on the Grinnell
Aeroplane company Immediately to
cease manufacturing aeroplanes. The
demand is based on the recent decis-
ion OF the United States circuit court
of appeals, in which the Herring Cur.
tiss company and Glenn H. Curtiss
We're defendants. The decision re.
CARDS as an infringement against the
Wright company patents any heavier
than air flying machine which uses a
rudder spontaneously with the wings,
When asked what action would be
taken by the Grinnell company, E. B.
Brande, treasurer, stated that the de.
mand was not taken seriously and
that whatever patents the Wright
company might have would be of lit
tie Importance, as nothing in the
makeup of Grinnell aerOplanes is
patterned after the crafts of the
Wright company.
