OCEAN PHONE MAN
 LEAVES FOB EAST

pr. Giuseppe Musso. inventor Of the ocean cable telephone. passed through on the Watson yesterday bound for New York city where he win use the transatlantic cables in carrying on his experiments having been wired by his New York associates to come at once.
 'I was successful in reaching Cor doya from Valdez" said pr. Musso in an interview. but was unable to reach Sitka owing to the poor condi- tion of the cable The installation is bad up here. In talking under the ocean an average of 5000 vibrations per second is caused. whereas. in tel egraphing. there is only { or 5 im- pulses per second. This is a consid- erable difference. and when the cable is poor the leakage of vibrations IS too great for successful experiments
 pr. Musso states that he has prov en the success of his invention. at any rate. and seemed confident that he wTl have no trouble in reaching Eur ope over Q good cable. He would have experimented in the East in the first place had the outbreak of the war not interferred temporarily with bis plans.

FAiRsANKs HEARS
 FRISCO WIRELESS


 AS attesting the efficiency of the radio station at Fairbanks an inter estlng incident occurred a few days ago when the operator of the Fair banks station was able to pick up the San Francisco radio talking to Homo lulu. While the message could be heard distinctly enough to be under stood they were still too faint for com merclal purposes. but this fact is at- trlbuted by the operator to the unfa. vorableness of the weather condI- tions prevailing at the time. He states that frequently under the most favorable conditions. the San Fran cisco radio has been heard quite dIs- tinctly
 There is. of course. no possibility of the Fairbanks station being able to correspond with San Francisco, as the sending power of the instruments there are not nearly strong enough. The receiving of messages from the coast city is made possible by the fact that the wireless plant there is one of the most powerful in the world. and with the aid of its relays on the islands. is able to send across the Pacific to Nagasalli, Japan.

 new government experimental sta ton somewhere on the line of the proposed railroad.
 Prof. Georgeson says the Kodiak herd of Galloway cattle is in excel lent condition. having spent good winter. The effects of the fall of ash over Kodiak island have disappeared, be said. and left it better than ever before. The ash fall has levelled the country. and done away with the nee essity of preparing the ground before seeding. Prof Georgeson says the seed chat was sown In Che volcanic ash is producing grass, aud there will be more seeding this year.
 "There is no doubt" said Prof. Geo gesou. about the feasibility of stock raising out at the Westward. Our experiences on Kodiak island have demonstrated that"
 The cattle on Kodiak island were removed to the island from Lewis county. Washington. last year. They were taken south after the eruption og Mt. Katmoi, because the faJl of ash which covered Kodiak island de- stroyed the vegetation there, and 1t was necessary to remove the cattle until new meadows were provided for grazing.
 Prof Georgeson. who is at the New Cain. win leave for sitko on the Geor- gia tomorrow.
