Cadets, Great Ride.

Two hundred and fifty senior cadets
of Victoria, B. c., have recently COM
pleted a 1,40O-mile ride on bicycles,
bearing dispatches from the state COM
mandant to the minister for defense.
The small riders averaged more than
IA miles an hour, and they completed
their task 6 hours and % minutes
ahead Of schedule. This fine perform
ance reused public interest in the new
system Of cadet training, which has
taken the place Of the monotonous
drill-yard evolutions. Australia is
training its youngest soldiers In
camaraderie, self-sacrifce, alertness
and a love Of athletics. The storX OF
the 1,400-mile ride against unex'
pected obstacles has set a standard
which will not be easily forgotten by
the Australian boy. While the dis
patch ride has done much to direct
attention to a happier system Of train
ing, 1t has also served to awaken the
interest Of fathers and elder brothers.

DOG RELAYS CALL OF PHONE
WeII.Trained Animal Said Never to
Make a Mistake In Notifying
His Mistress.

Not far from Boston lives a dog by
the name Of Timbuctoo, dog which
has never been trained but which OF
its own accord acquired trick"
which besides being clever Is decidedly
helpful. His home Is on farm, which
is served by a seven-party telephone
line. The call at Timbuctoo's house
is FIVE bells, or as the toll operator
would say, "Ring five." Wherever his
mistress IS when the telephone rings
five times Timbuctoo will 60 to her
and give five short, sharp barks. He
has never been known to make mis-
take either by barking more or less
than five barks, or by calling his mis-
tress when the bell rings some other
call.
In order to "show off Timbuctoo,"
his mistress asks a neighbor to call
her In a few Minutes, then she goes
somewhere out Of range Of the tele-
phone, and Timbuctoo never fails to
give proof of his trustworthy sum-
moning.

SkIddlno Is Overcome,

Attention is called in a circular re-

invention of a front-drive vehicle
which entirely prevents skidding. A
test over 10000 miles of rough road

signs Of wear. The front wheels are
pivoted in the center, which enables
the steering Of the car with much
greater ease than in the rear-wheel-

attached to en old worn British car
which, prior to the attachment Of the
device, weighed 80 cwt., with a speed
Of thirty-eight miles an hour travelling

After alteration and application of the
front drive device, the car weighs 81
cwt., has a speed Of forty-fve miles
an hour and will 90 seventeen and one

HONOR SHOULD Be AMERlCA'S
Washington Man Really Was the FIRST
to Demonstrate Possibilities OF
Wireless Telegraphy.

A dentist living in Washington, D..
c., invented, patented and demon.
strated wireless telegraphy before
Marconi was born. Had 1t not been
for the attitude of big newspapers and
the stubbornness and lack Of vision OF
congress, this country today would be
enjoying the honor. distinction and
credit of presenting wireless telegra-
ply to the world. The name of this
comparatively unknown inventive gen
iu> is Mahlon LoomiS. Back in the
sixties and seventies he eked out "a
modest living by plugging molars and
,Eal;ing store" teeth for the politi-
cans and social leaders Of Washing
ten. Doctor Loomis called his discov-
cry aerial telegraphy." His first pub
lie demonstration was made In 1866
from the two peaks OF the Blue Ridge
mountains in Virginia, some Is miles
apart. From each peak an ordinary
kite was elevated, connected with an
insulated copper wire attached at the
lower end to a telegraphing appa-
ratus. The operators Of each party
were provided with telescopes, with
which they could sight from one sta
ton to the other and read the signals.
When all was in readiness message
was sent by the doctor along the wire
of his kite, and was received at the
station on the other mountain top just
as though the two kites had been con-
nected with wire in the ordinary
way. In this manner communications
were kept up until the fact was thor
oughly demonstrated that telegraphing
could be done as readily without as
with connecting wires.

a moment, then at the knuckle and
said:

SMALL'S PLEA
Illinois Governor Tells Fol-
lowers Politics are at the
Bottom Of the Charges
tBy The Associated rressi

CHICAGO. ILL.,, July 23-Govern-
or Len Small, in his first public
speech since his indictment on
charges Of embezzling state funds,
told members of his party followers
today that he was the victim of a
gigantic political plot.
Declaring that he was being pro-
secuted by vested interests" I"
treasury looters" and character
defamers," Gov. Small said that
when they found that they could
neither bind me nor frighten me
this gang banded together their tools
to discharge and destroy me by
having me indicted by the grand
jury of Sangamon count--a county
ruled by the most vicious ring in
the state of Illinois"
Reviewing his acts in office the
governor said he stood against the
plundcring Of the state treasury by
the 'money powers" and that one
who had defied these interests could
expect nothing more than to be the
victim Of their schemes. He spoke
from the same platform in River
view park where a little more than
year ago the boom was launched
that put him in the highest office in
the state. His audience was made up
Of the followers Of Mayor VIM. Hale
Thompson, who followed Gov. Small
on the speakers platform.

said Mayor Thompson. 1--WE took him
at his word and elected him. He
hadn't been governor two weeks
when he sold out. His commission
gave you a higher strcet-car rate.
higher water rates, higher rates of
every kind. Then after the people
elected Len Small rs their governor
the same interests went to him and
tried TO buy him out. When they
found they could not buy him they
started to crush him.
"This man whom you elected was
prosecuted, but with your help the
fight will 90 on. The fight you made
a year ago made you an honest gov
crnor. He will stick by you."
