QUEER FREAKS OF WIRELESS
Failure to Operate on Account of At.
nsospaeric Conditions Has Been
Source Of Annoyance.

Wireless te4egraphy has many appar-
entity mysterious qualities for which
scientists have been unable satisfactor-
lily to account to the layman. Failure
to operate on account of the condi-
tons Of the atmosphere has been the
chief source Of anAoyanoe Another
fault, which has recently been rem
edied. is in the absence OF secrecy in
transmitting messages.
Lightning and other electrical dis
turbances have also caused some in
convenience, but in the event OF a
storm the apparatus is now usually
grounded in order to prevent injury. 1t
is reported that lightning will serious
ly injure, if not entirely destroy, in
struments, even though it might strike
at a point five or ten miles distant.
Why the wireless has worked better
at night or in cold weather rather than
hot, why transmission is better ON the
Pacific ocean than ON the Atlantic, or
why communication Is better in one
direction rather than in another have
all been puzzling questions. These
clements of unreliability and disap-
pUntment are now disappearing. how
ever, and the confidence of the public
has been won.

Nuts From the PhiIippines.

Pill nuts, which grow abundantly in
the Philippines, have recently been
shipped on considerable scale to the
United States. They are produced by
trees Of the genus Canarium, to which
belongs the Java almond, are nearly
triangular in cross section, and con-
tain a small oily kernel Of almond
like flavor. Besides being very pala-
table in their natural state, they yield
valuable oil, resembling oil of al.
monds. According to an official re.
port, the production of pili-oil is one
Of the coming industries Of the Philip
pines, only awaiting the invention of
a machine for cracking the nuts,
which are very hard.

but actually scrub every square inch
of them once a day!
Therefore, Berlin, whose streets
were formerly a dumping ground for
sewage, has recently acquired the rep
utation of being among the cleanest
cities in the world. Nobody l1tters
up the street or puts sweepings on the
sidewalk. Wire baskets are fastened
on lamp posts, against houses, fences,
or trees, in which the public may
throw waste paper while walking
along. The householders must sweep
to the center of the street in front of
their sidewalks every morning, before
six o'clock!

Here the sewage is collected in
large central reservoirs, from which
it is forced by means of large pumps
through great iron tubes into the
| country. 1t then passes into central
stand towers, and is thence distributed
through a system of irrigation pipes
and bitches upon the land.
Thus the sewage of the city becomes
the fertilizer Of the soil, which pro-
duces fruits and vegetables for city
consumption. The area of the fields
irrigated is more than twenty thou
sand acres. The total cost of the
drainage system was $30,000,0OO, yet

ly profitable investment. AS many as
five crops of hay are cut in a single
year, and several crops of vegetables
are obtained each season.
Berlin is rapidly becoming less

be mentioned the existence of sew

there is a nine-hole golf course in

Everywhere there are signs Of hus-

1t is also the greatest manufacture
ing city in continental Europe. AS
such it offers a striking contrast to
the Berlin of the forties, with it's two
stored shabby houses, rough cobble-
stones, and open cutters into which
the evil smelling sewage was poured.
War and politics have been the
principal factors in it's progress, and
the fact that the Hohenzollerns chose
Berlin as their home.
During the last two decades the
River Spree, beside which it stands,
has been reduced to the proportions
of large canal, confined by walls of
solid masonry, which facilitates the
transport Of heavy traffic, and indeed
serves as a means Of transport be-
tween different points within the city,
thus relieving the local streets Of
railway traffic. This extensive sys-

st. Petersburg, June 1s.-It was
learned today that an anarchist plot
to destroy the car and his entire fam.
lily by dynamiting the train on which
they were travelling failed to accom-
plish its purpose yesterday.
That the royal family were saved
was due to the fact that their train
was preceded BY another one which
was wrecked by the explosion.
The imperial train was following
closely mail train which was com
pletely demolished by the dynamite
which the plotters had planted. Two
passengers on the mail train were
killed and 2S seriously injured.
The police and secret service have
been active in the effort to ferret out
those responsible for the disaster. but
SO far no trace of the assassins has
been found.
That an attempt was made to ex-
terminate the czar and his family is
admitted though officially an effort
was made to dismiss the incident as d
mere wreck.
