Methods are being adopted by the lead

Tslh about wireless telephones'
The Colorado desert goes science
one better in that line. According
to travellers in that neck Of sand
and sagebrush, you can dispense
with any kind of telephone, with OF
without wires, at least up to q Ger
tain distance.
Two men a mile apart can carry
on a conversation in an ordinary
tone of voice, particularly If there
happens to be q small hill behind
each, writes Harvey Hall Kessler in
the Travel Magazine. The prevail
ing silence is so intense that 1t
might be called deafening.
Perhaps, after all, the weirdsst
among many strange features Of the
desert is the mirage. We have
canped perhaps and gone 10 bed
early in the evening with the .ther-
mometer registering not far below
tks hundred mark. We awake,
shfvering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slightest suggestion
Of light in the sky there, which as
We watch grows slowly m strength.
A grayish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out more sharply
at one point. frem which broad.
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky. These again
slowly fade as a point Of brilliant
light appears at their base. This
point grows to half circle, then
breaks and runs along tho sky line
in surging, golden lake.
Upon the shores of this lake
cities spring up, towers, spires and
solid blocks. These fade into fields
and forests and farming scenes
fields of golden grain, cattle stand
ing in green alfalfa, sheets Of Wa
ter. The mountains near the edge
Of the lake separate from their
bases and float upward, topple over
and stand on their heads, thex un-
vieldy feet in air.
Soon our lake begins to contract
and collect into a big round ban OF
dazzling brilliance hung just above
the horizon. Farms and forest dis
appear. The mountains, as though
abashed at being caught in such an
unseemly attitude BY the broad
light of day, quickly resume theil
normal position. while all the stark
landscape stffens into unstirring en-
durance of the garish light ano
blezing heat of the desert sun Th'
n.. ,ge is gone like a bubble. Onl'
Che gray desert remains.

complement OF 1888. to provide for
unavoidable reductions I'm the working
force due to deaths, sickness, tempo
rlry employment due TO extra work
and other causes OF a similar nature
In reality, however. the factories
took on during the above mentioned
year 42.571 employees, or 22,o81 per-
sons more than were absolutely neces-
sary, and each OF those 22.051 persons
cost the factories from $50 TO 500
for broken tools, spoiled work. the
reduced rate OF production and tho
additional Office expenses incurred
through the necessity for the main
tenance OF an extra clerical force TO
keep track OF the temporary workers
and the hiring OF fOremen and assist
ants to instruct them. Altogether. it
was computed. the unnecessary en-
gagement OF 22.O31 employees caused
the factories In question an aggregate
