First Message by Wireless.

Sending messages by telegraph and
stelephone without wires thousands Of
miles over the oceans Is far cry
from sending a wireless impulse the
length of kitchen table. But before
sNarcom did that others had discovered
saertain principles which made it pos
sible. Not, however, until Hertz dis
covered the progressive propagation OF
electromagnetic action through space
was the period of speculation and ex-
pertinent near its end.
Marconi, then a young man just out
Of his teens, read IF the experiments
OF Hertz, and conceived the. first ap-
paratus for demonstrating the idea.
At the end of several months he had
his idea of such an apparatus COM
plete and q message in the Morse code
was sent the length Of an ordinary
kitchen table on which the apparatus
was set up. Out of this initial success
the wonderful system Of wireless tele-
graph and telephone communication of
today has developed, remarks the De
troit News.

"Resurrection Plant"

During the autumn and early winter
several years ago men might have been
seen in the streets selling an odd little
plant which they called the ''resurrec-
stion plant" Many and wonderful
were the tales told sof the plant by
these itinerant statesmen to persuade
their prospective customers, to buy.
Most Of them either stated directly or
else led their hearers to infer that the
plants came only from the Holy land,
where they were emblematical of the
Resurrection. Most of them, however,
were Polypodium incarium, the COM
monest of all the ferns of Florida.
s During the dry season the plant
;curls up into small ball and has the
appearance Of being dead. In this con-
dition it will bear transportation well.
When placed in bowl containing q
little water it's leaves will unfold and
assume bright green color, making
a pretty aIj ornamental plant.

THEN SHE AROSE SUDDENLY
Elderly Lady Discovered she Had
Made Wrong Choice Of Her
Resting Position.

It is hard sometimes for the old and
the young to arrive at common point
of understanding. The old lady and
the Sunday school boy in this story
did finally arrive at an understanding
but not until the boy had suffered
damage to his feelings. if not to his
possessions.
A picnic was in progress. and the
benevolent and elderly lady took much
enjoyment in witnessing the delight OF
the children who were disporting them
selves in her grounds.
She went from one to another, say
ing a few kind words 70 each. Pres
emily she seated herself on grass
plot beside Dickie. little boy with
golden curls and an angelic expression.
But as soon as he observed her sitting

Burmese Story Of Mans orioin.

A myth current among the Bur-

down from the skies to the earth, and
there ate Thalesan. a particular kind
Of rich rice, which gradually made
them gross Of habit, so that they were
unable to make their way back to the
higher heavens again and had to be.

The Chins have a story Of the
Tower Of Babel to account for the
various clans that ~inhabit the range
Of hills looking down on the Bay OF
Bengal, and traditions of a deluge are
found everywhere.
The Kachins tell a story Of the pas.

and there are many more of the kind
that suggest these folk-myths come

at is called the Lorraine, or Jerusa-
Hem, cross, because Godfrey de Bouil-
Ion, duke of Lorraine, whom the
crusaders chose as the first Christian
ruler Of Jerusalem. adopted it as his
. symbol. It is called also the archiepis-
c0pal, or patriarchal, cross, because in
8 the Roman Catholic church it marked
s the rank Of cardinals, archbishops and
S,patriarchs. Cardinal Richelieu, as
8 archbishop of Lucon, always wore it..
How, did those four double-barred
crosses ever come into this country?
Cardinal Richelieu's niece, the duchess
al 'Aiguillon. was much interested In
the missions in New France. She made
many gifts to the missionaries, among
i which were some crosses that were to
s be gwen to the Indian chiefs as s-re-
wards, for good conduct and zeal for
tle faith and for other meritorious
things. In honor Of her uncle, the
cardinal, the duchess had the crosses
made with two bars.
There were several missionaries
who received the crosses, but Father

frayersed the region in which the boys
made their discovery. 1t IS likely,
therefore, that he himself lost them;

PARENTS or NAVEL GRANGE
From Two Trees Has Grown an In
dustry Which Is Now Estimated
Ia Millions.

From two lone orange trees. to
which buds OF the seedless navel or
ailEe of Brazil were grated some years
ago, has grown an industry which last
year showed net profit of some forty
million dollars. Today one hundred
and seventy.fve thousand acres Of Cal
ifornia land * planted to navel or
anges. which are sct out in numbers
ranging from 50 to 1870 trees to the
acre.
William Saunders, one-tlme superin-
tendent of the government horticul-
tural grounds at Washington, ID. c..
learned In 1870 that new seedless
orange had been developed at Bahai,
Brazil. and procured l. Of the young
trees through the aid of a missionary.
They Were brought 10 the United
States aud planted under conditions as
nearly those of their native land as
could be found, but they could not
withstand the more rigorous northern
climate, and they soon died. Buds had
been taken from them, however, and
grated upon sprouts of native propa-
cation. Two of these sprouts survived
and were trunsplanted to the West
coast In 1915.
From them have sprung the thou
sands OF trees which have made the ma
vel orange the foremost among the many
varieties of oranges. Every year buds
have been taken from them to impart
navel characteristics to homegrown
seedlings and still though somewhat
ravished by time. these patriarchs an.
hually add their small quota to tie
thousands of bushels Of fruit their of
spring yields.
one of them stands just outside Riv
erside.
