Once upon a time there was a man

blatant advertisement of a new book
he fastened to purchase it or obtain it
from a circulating library and to COM
pare it's real qualities with the assur-
ances of its publisher. For three
months he raced with the productivity
OF presses and binders And then,
weary of spirit, he paused to take an
inventory Of his mental condition and
of his achievement He found that he
had been pacing a treadmill. He was
where he was before, and all he had
to show for his endeavor were psyche

the sense of time wasted
Seeking surcease from his new dis

as if he had passed from parrot store

the moonbeam.
An idea occurred to this old-fash-
toned man. Why should not relief be
afforded an Obsessed reading public

more genial classics? The gentle
reader, although by this time he may
have become less gentle, as rule fol-

he is told, and if he were told rather
insistently by a coterie of leaders of

permit himself to be led.

string of kites to an altitude of 1000
feet. Messages transmitted from the
set of field wireless attached to this
kite-supported aerial were received
$50 miles away with distinctness, al
though the ordinary range of the set
was only 20 miles. One thing that
aided materially in obtaining this re-
suit was the fact that the kites flew
so steadily that the aerial was always
maintained at a constant altitude.
Quite as remarkable as the sending
power of the wireless was it's receiv-
ing quality. Messages were received
with distinctness from the battleship
Georgia while off Newport and from
the government station at Arlington,
Va, and Bermuda.
These experiments were but the
first of long series that will be con-
Quoted, and it is the belief of those
who are interested in the matter that
they will lead to a system by which
the range of the ordinary field wireless
will be materially increased. United

Canaiized Emotions.

The world seems TO be full of what
may be called canalized emotions.
One is supposed" to love ones aunt
or ones grandfather in a certain def
mite way, at the risk of being ''un-
natural" One gets almost a sense of
the quantitative measurement of emo
ton. Perhaps the greatest tragedy
of family life is the useless energy
that is expended by the dutiful in
keeping these artificial channels
open, and the correct amount of cur
rent running. 1t is exactly this that
produces most infallibly the rebellion
of the younger generation. To hear
that one ought to love this or that
person; or to hear loyalty spoken of,
as the older generation so often
speaks of il, as if it consisted in an
allegiance to something which one
no longer believes in--thiS is what
soonest liberates those forces of mad
ness and revolt which bewilder spir-
itual teachers and guides. 1t is exact
