Hertzian Waves.

Hertzian waves are electric waves, so called from Heinrich Hertz 1857- 1S9q, German engineer and scien- tist. who first demonstrated the possi- bility ot wireless .elegraphy. In the course of his investigations he dem- onstrated some new principles regard ing the transmission of light and cleo tricity, and his premature death was regarded as a distinct loss to science Wireless telegraphy is sometimes called Hertzian telegraphy. The pres ent Marconi method of telegraphing without wires is by means of "Hert- zian waves which pass through the ether-the medium that fills all space, and remains after air has been ex- hausted. The apparatus generates and transmits these waves, the exis- tence and operation of which were first demonstrated by Hertz.

GATES TO BLACK SEA
IMPORTANT POINTS WHICH ARE
 MAKING HISTORY TODAY.
May Again Determine the Future Of Europe, as They Have Done in Gigantic Conflicts ot
 the Past.

With the northwestern battle thea ter of the Turks proclaimed by the war prophets as that where the deciding master strokes in this most titanlike of all struggles are to be delivered, a sketch of this remarkable regions past prepared by Harry Griswold Dwight for the National Geographic society is of more than usual interest. Here the West won it's self-confidence, and this confidence has borne fruits with splen- did richness for longer than 2,000 years. Here the course of civilization has been changed and modified sev- eral times, ana here again today the attention of the world is fixed in the belief that the future of Europe will once more be determined by events about to tfanspire. Tn the bulletin is sued by the National Geographic so ciety MT. Dwight tells about The Gates to the Black Sea.
 There is something alluring in the very shape and position of these lakes-the Black sea and the Sea of Marmora-separating as they do the two most historic continents of our globe and communicating with each other and with the outer seas by openings that seem miraculous. And those landlocked waters nave been from earliest times, as they happen again to be today, the theater of epic events. For us of the West no legends are older than those of zeus and To, of Phryxus and Helle, of the Trojan war, of Jason and the Argo, which commemorate the earliest voy ages into the Great Lakes of the Le- want.
 Of the two, the Marmora-the Pro- pontis, if you prefer to be classical is by far the smaller Not much more than 100 miles long and some 40, miles across at it's broadest part it is about the same size as Lake Champlain. The Marmora has much of the softness of air. vividness Of color and beauty of scenery that we associate with the Aegean and Ionian seas Thread the narrow slit of the Bosporus, however, and you pass into an entirely different werld-sterner, barer, rockier, colder.
 If the Marmera may be compared to Lake Ghamplain, the Black sea is about four times the size of our great est lake. Lake Superior is 412 miles long by 167 wide. while the Black sea has length of 750 miles and breadth of 1885. That there is something dark and unfriendly about it is more than a legend.
 At the moment at which I write the fleets of France and England are hammering at the historic gateway. Thus the question of the Black sea. which is the ancient question of the straits, is posed anew. more dramati- cally than ever before. Is it for a final solution? No solution can be found,' the writer concludes, which will give any one nation an absolute right of control over the Bosporus and the Dardanelles'

Zeppelin Bombs.

There are many different kinds of bombs dropped from Zeppelins and aircraft. They are divided into two main classes-explosive and incen- diary bombs. The explosive ones are divided again into those dropped with no initial velocity, and those propelled with high initial velocity in somewhat the same way aS bullet is propelled sive bomb is more used than the sec ond, and explodes upon hitting the ground. In an article on the sZeppe- lin Question, by MT. Prade, published in translation in the Scientific Ameri- can for April 3, 1915, it is stated that nowhere have bonn been found weighing more than 49 kilos COS pounds). This was tie weight says MT. Prade, of the bomb found intact at Yarmouth. =. Large naval di- rigibles which appeared oyer the Eng fish coast certainly had not 1000 kilos (2,204 pounds) of explosives on board, which is proved by the fact that they did not throw that number, as they would hardly have returned with any unthrown.' From this Mr Prade proves that the bombs do not weigh more than 50 kilos at most, and that each Zeppelin carried at the most 20 bombs.

Now, l recall very distinctly that you tried last season to have a bed of herbs, and you made me prepare it for you but though l worked the ground until it was as fine as pepper and fertilized it until there seemed nothing for the seeds to do but to push up thrifty plants above ground they refused to do even as much as sprout."

 Well, do put foxglove on your list" said her husband. Tt would be so convenient to turn to when 1 am in danger of heart trouble brought on by overworking myself in your garden or by disappointment because of the meager results"
 Il think I will plant some catnip.' declared Prudence.
 But isn't catnip exclusively for cats?" demanded the husband. And what is the use of raising eatnip if you have no cats?'
 "Well, if we got the catnip to grow we could easily get the cats" said Prudence, cheerfully, not removing her eyes from the list. q don't be- lieve I'll plant any hoarhound or marshmaliows, though they are only 5 cents package"
 Get them by all means" advised her husband Think how useful the hoarhound would b. in case of colds. and if you should ever want to have marshmallow roast you would have the materials right at hand. Isn't there any anise seed on the list? That's invaluable if you should think of get ting up a fox hunt.

 No, only hunting for small fry like hugs and worms. How many inno- cent insects do you suppose you are planning to lure to their destruction next summer?"

 Innocent? Peaceful?" echoed he. Did you do an hours gardening last summer without killing a hundred in seets or worms?

But I must have a rose garden this summer; there's something so romantic about a rose.

FAMOUS DERBY RACES
EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENTS AT
 WORLD-FAMoUS TRACK.
Ambition of Every Sportsman Inter ested in Game Is to Win Great Contest--lord George eentinck's
 Sore Disappointment.

Since S. Arnull rode Diomed to vic tory in the English Derby in 1780 some extraordinary incidents have oc- cured in connection with this world famous race, to win which princes and peers have sacrificed fortunes with out success, says writer in London Answers.
 Time was when the house of com mons was wont to adjourn on Derby day, so that our jaded legislators could run down and bask in the breezes which blew OCT Epson Downs. Agahl when the great Crimean war was rag ing, parliament ordered that the re suit of the race should be included in general orders.
 From time immemorial the Derby has been marked by sensations Or three occasions, for example, horses starting at the forlorn odds of 100 to l against have captured the classic prize. Jeddah, in 1898; Signorinetta ten years later, and Aboyeur, two years ago, were their names, and their performances recall others which will stand out prominent in turf history for all time.
 In 1913, one remembers, the race was doubly memorable. There was the terrible episode of the suffragette, who sacrificed her life in a vain attempt to stop the horse, whilst, as kind of anticlimax, came the disqualification of Craganour after finishing first Last year we had the memorable scratching of the Tetrareh, the quaintly-colored animal of the rocking-horse type, of whom such great things were ex pected.
 Whenever the great Epson carnival comes round, sportsmen, young and old, talk about the Snowstorm Derby when Hermit, starting at 62 to 1 against owing to report that he was lame, won for Mir Henry Chaplin. net ting him fortune. Daley. the jockey who bestrode the successful animal received a present of f3,000 from the owner. and the victory went long way toward running the plunging mar quis of Hastings.
 As to drama, what could be more tragic than the action of that famous sportsman, Lord George Bentinck? Lord George. after spending lifetime in attempting to win the Derby, sold all his horses in disgust for a lump sum of f10.000 down, and retired from the turf with his ambition ungrati- fed.
 Included in the sold racers was Surplice, who. ironically enough. car ried off the Derby in 1S4s. After ward Surplice also won the St. Leger, and few days later Lord George Bentinck was found dead on his es- tate at Welbeck.
 When Bend Or won the blue ribbon for the duke of Westminster, the win ner was immediately objected to, the allegation being that he was not the horse stated. but Tadcaster, and that the two had been changed when foals. There was tremendous amount of ex- eitement, as fabulous sums were at stake, but after interrogatipg everyone connected, from the stud grooms up ward, the authorities decided in favor of Bend Or. The latter afterward be- came additionally famous as the sire of the celebrated Ormonde.

Why Hindu Poet Avoids Japan.

A traveller returned from India to Japan, according to the East and West News, tells why Sir Rabindranath Ia gore gave up his proposed visit to the land of the Rising Sun. First, he says. because the Hindu poet, like other poets, changes his mind frequently; second, because his tenants are suf- fering from want of food; third, he has become incensed at Japanese who abused Tagore's confidence, pre- tending to be an admirer of the poets most refined works and all the while insanely addicted to London music hall songs. "He sings for hours III private" the poet is reported to have said, with whitening expression of scorn, what he calls "Tippulaly'!"
