 Successful demonstrations of new wireless invention, which marks a step toward the secrecy of wireless tele- phone and telegraph messages, have taken place in Great Britain, and Sig nor Marconi is at present conducting further tests at sea in his yacht Electra with view to it's wider application.
 Details of the invention are secret, but 1t may be stated that an apparatus has been devised W hich, by what ex- perts call an electric method of con- centration," propagates the electric wireless in a beam" in any desired direction and in that direction only. Hitherto the electrical waves sent out from wireless stations have spread out in all directions and all who lis tened in" could hear. The CIV inven- ton will mark the end of the wireless "eavesdropper." When 1t is perfected wireless station will be able to send out Morse or spoken messages which will be heard only by those for whom l they are intended
 The new apparatus, which is being worked out at an experimental station in Great Britain within a short wave | length, has recently been demonstrated by number of experts, who expressed the greatest interest in the discovery It is known that German wireless research has been lately closely di- rected to this problem of the leaves dropper," for the Germans realized that we were able to pick up with oui listening sets much valuable informa- tion about Zeppelin movements during the war.-London Daily Mail.

CHARGE MEXICAN WITH KILLING SWEETHEART

Charged with murder in the first de- gree, Ricardo Lautario yesterday was arraigned before Justice Mckee and was returned to the county jail, where he is being held without bond. The preliminary hearing of the case will be held on Monday morning, Novem- Der 22, at 9:30 o'clock The charge against Lautario arises from the death of Adelena Sosa from a knife wound alleged to have been afflicted by Lau- tario on November 8.
 The inquest over the body of Mrs Sosa was held by Coroner Charles De- Sales Wheeler on Wednesday morn ing, the verdict being death as the re- suit of knife wound at the hands of Lautario. Mrs. Sosa died in St. Jo- seph's hospital on Monday night, where she was taken following the stabbing.
 According to an alleged confession made by Lautario to officers after his arrest Monday morning, he went to the O'Neil ranch, four miles northwest of Phoenix, last Sunday night with the intention of killing Mrs. Sosa, who had refused to accept his attentions any longer, if she would not make up with him. Lautario said he stabbed her m the right temple with a knife. He then went into a cotton field and took poi son in an effort to take his own life, but officers foiled his attempt by pour l ing milk down his throat.

Doc Pardee did come in second in pony race, and even if the Governors Derby did get away to bad start these mishaps were so slight when viewed against the background of the entire program that none could be dis appointed, and none could complain.
 The main event of the day was the Derby, one and one sixteenth miles, with a purse of $1,000. Despite the fact that the horses got away to a had start, with two of them making the circuit of the track and necessitating that the race be started again after half an hour. the race was a classic. Of the ten entries, three had been scratched, and one, Myrtle A., with drawn after her fruitless run around the track. The other six horses, rep resenting the best in racing flesh at the fair, swept around the circuit all most as one and then thundered down the stretch with Freedom, Woody Montgomery and Raydo struggling for a lead. At the wire Freedom and Woody Montgomery stepped out in front of the field, with Raydo making an intellectual attempt to catch them Freedom winning by scant half- length.
 The winner was then trotted up the | judges stand, where Miss Dorothy Brownfield and Mrs. F. H. Redewil placed around his neck the garland oi roses that proclaimed him the kine | of this years series of races ir | Phoenix.
 Another event of interest, especially | because it had been arranged fol sweet charity's sake by a real west erner, was the auctioning of youns blooded Hereford bull which had beer donated by l.. T. Brite, a stockman o Maria, Texas. The auction was con ducted by Doc Pardee, who is il charge of the rodeo events at the fair and the bull was purchased by JohI ZelIweiger of Feldman, Pinal county for $500.
 The thriller of the program, how ever, was not shown. This was tn shooting of Cannonball Saunders iron

Thrift in Chile.

The Scots and the French had better
look to their laureIs as saving peo-
pies. Chile bids fair to rival them.
During the last ten years savings in
stitutions have risen considerably in
number. In 1910 there existed in the
entire country but a dozen independ-
ent institutions carrying the accounts
of some 100000 persons; their COM
plete savings amounted to only $4,-
100000 in American money In 1917
deposits rose to 100000 Chilean
pesos, which would equal about one
fourth as many American dollars. To
this, in the year 1913, were added so,
000,090 more Chilean pesos. The ma
sion has encouraged savings, through
Stamps and other substantial induce
ments incidentally it is worth while
noting that lotteries are not permitte6
in Chile; down there they believe in
getting rich slowly and surely.

VILLAGE Within Extinct Volcano.


Bottom is the paradoxical name
of little village perched on the peak
of mountain which comprises the
island of Saba, in the Caribbean sea.
No other spot in the world is quite
like Saba; of all the islands of the
tropical seas, Il is the Strangest, the
most forbidding. Sheer cOnical, frown-
ing, this island rises from the waves,
it's topmOst pinnacle yelled in drifting
clouds 1900 feet above the sea, its
coast rock-bound and precipitous. 1t
is seldom sighted by ships, but those
who do pass it would never dream
that it was inhabited.
The mountain is an extinct volcano
and the town Of Bottom rests in it's
crater. No harbor breaks Saba's
coast; there is no safe landing place
or anchorage, and if one would visit
the town one must step ashore from a
small boat and climb a steep stairway
of hundreds of stone steps or toll up
q narrow, difficult trail. Every article
brought to Saba from the outside
world must be carried UP the heights
The inhabitants are sailors, as they
have been since the earliest times, and
though they sail the seven seas they
always return to their island home.

OCEAN CASTS UP OLD SHIP
Identity of Ancient Vessel Found on
Rockaway Beach Uncertain--May
Be Historic Pirate.

Rockaway Beach has another sensa-
ttpn, the Brooklyn Eagle states. Not
content with washing up hundreds Of
thousands of crabs, Holsters and clans,
the great tide recently dug an ancient
oceanic relic out of the sands and left
1t to bleach in a winters sun, like
some skeleton of a departed dinoSaUr.
According to Capt. Joseph Meade Of
the ROckaway coast guard station, it
is an old sloop o. war.
Nobody knows its history. From all
appearances this washed out corpse in
an ocean graveyard was once a saucy
war Vessel, mounting nine guns, in
Guiding the old time bow chaser that
used to bark with ferocity at pursuing
vengeance.
The ship is bluh-bowed, her spikes
are handwrought, her ribs are Of stout
oak and her bowsprit, broken short
at the cap is mighty headstOne on
sandy grave.
The old salts who are experts on
such matters say the buried hull is
an old British sloop. During the war
of 1912 privateers manned by adven-
turous Yankees frequently hung about
Jones inlet, towing in their prizes for
anchorage and running to. shelter
when British men-o'-war, out for re-
venge. bore down upon them.
Another tradition unearthed from
the old shippers of clipper ships, now
come to anchor on the Rockaway
shores, has it that Capt. Jones, for
whom Jones' inlet was named, at one
time just prior to the Revolutionary
war, pursued profitable trade in con-
traband in the vicinity, unknown to
the British customs. The handwrOught
spikes and the general shape Of the
rotting wreck plainly indicate that
she was an oldtimer, very likely of
Revolutionary times.

Oftentimes, these willy birds after

birds can detect the imitation more
easily in a loud than in muffled
call.
For deep-water birds call louder
for the calling or else just give low
chucble that they can just hear.
If birds start to circle away, few
low calls will often bring them back.
If in open water, the birds often
will go entirely around you to dis
cover what the suspicious bunch of
weeds contains, and at such a time
lie low and do not try to keep the
flock in sight all of the time. Your
moving will scare them quicker than
anything else. Lie low and stay low.
If the birds come in, do not jump up.
Rest just high enough to clear your
blind when you shoot. Be assured
the ducks eyes are on the shore
side. for there is where they watch
for danger and any movement sends

in drag, all being showed west to

At the same time there seems to
