In some cases, faint reactions were noted in the tered by the other, and thus a sympathetic telegraphy be perfected. “Large sheets of copper were also tried in place of wire, also wires wound round buried magnets; but it was found that the eorth diffused the electricity so much that nothing of practical value ensued. Other experimenters, Considering the extraordi- nary resemblances between the action of waves invented by the late Professor Herz, which generator throws the waves of elec- tricity in all directions, as the rays of light emanate on all sides from a flame. Herz generator, by which the waves were reflected and made parallel in the re- qvired direction. On the island he placed what is called a “‘coherer,” that is to say, a tube filled with particles of metal of just the right size and quality for the purposes now to be set forth. The coherer was set before another concave mirror, so placed mainland. The coherer was set exactly ai the focus. Imagine that the Hers gener- whole may be likened to a violin string, which vibrates when a certain sound is made by the voice.

Now that they are again stggested, the wave of popular approval h which the idea has been greeted is 89 great as to surprise even those who know the manifold advantages which would fol- lew the adoption of the system. Puring the international postal congress which was recently heli at Washington it was a matter of comment on the part of the delegates, in their personal interviews with cur postal officials, that the United States stood alone among the countries of the world in its lack of opportunities for the investment of small savings and the en- ccuragement of thrift. Each of these dele- gates, with the exception of those from Germany and Switzerland, represented a nation that had savings banks as a branch of the post office. Fhe two exceptions serve to prove the rule, for in densely populated Germany there are municipal savings banks which answer the purpose to a large de- gree, and most of the cantons in little Switzeriand have banks owned in whole or Part by the state, where savings may be deposited with perfect sufety. The most remarkable feature of the situ- ation is that the people of the United schogl byildings Friday and Saturday, Sep- tember 17 and 18, from 8 to 10 a.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m., each day. The principals of the High Schools will be on duty at the High School buildings in- accordance with the same schedule. Applications for tickets should be made by the parents or guardians of the chil- dren at the building nearest their resi- dences. New Buildings, “There is little to be said in the way of news, in addition to what was published in The Star several weeks ago,” continued Mr. Powell. “We will take possession cf a number of new buildings, which have been described fully in The Star. We hope to get Into the new Western High School building toward the close of the school year. “I received a letter from Dr. F. R. Lane, director of the High Schools, stating that he will be at his office Monday morning. Al the principals will be on hand not later than next Friday, and it is desirable that the parents or others who are in doubt on any point should visit the princip: This applies particularly to parents ent. was to permit the birds to multiply long €rough to get a good number se them in the state after the killing out of so many.

Mr. Polk Miller, the presi- dent of the Virginia Field Sports Associa- tion, has recommer.ded that the law be re- pealed, and it !s thought this will be done. Candidates for Speaker. There will be three candidates for the speakership of the house of delegates. John F. Ryan, who will come back from Loudoun, is already in the field. E. W. Saunders of Franklin, who presided: over the late state democratic convention, will be another candidate for the position. Ad- dison Maupin, who is a candidate for re- election from Henrico, will also go before the body for election. There is some*talk of Merritt T. Cooke of Norfolk becoming @ candidate if he is willing to serve an- other session. Gov. Tyler will have few offices to give out after he is elected. The best will be his private secretary and adjutant general. The most prominently mentioned name in will go to Washington for the winter, af- ter leaving here. Mrs..Neff, as Miss Yulee, daughter of Senator Yulee of Florida, was well known in Washington as a beauty and belle. The Hamilton-Smiths, lately returned from England, will winter in Washington. Admiral and Mrs. Upshur have. left for Morristown, N. J. i? General Schofield, U. S, A.,~and Mrs. Schofield, are staying for the fall here. Mr. and Mrs. John O'Donnell gave a dinner at the Malvern a few nights since, entertaining Mr. Edward McCauly, Miss McLane, Cavendish Taylor, J.. R.. Edie, Miss McCormick, Miss Hinkle and Mrs. O'Donnell. Dr. and Mrs. J. L. M. Curry are still here They gave a large dinner Monday night. Mrs. Burton Hamson gave a large picnic at the “Ovens” today. A mock “breach of promise case” was conducted with Edward Fesser, the miniature painter, as defendant. All prominent society people were present, including Washingtonians. who is a nephew of General ’ Premier’ % Polytechnic, gave to a number of teachers. Since Herz’s death in 1888, he said, much progress has Been made in reducing the size of the electric-wave generator. As the size of the apparatus has a relation to the length cf the electric waves, and as it was desirable to shorten these waves, the lecreased size of the apparatus has ‘been of use in making air telegraphy more prac- ticable. Shorter electric waves are more ap- proximate in their action to waves of light, and go further. Up to the present, the shortest are those of the Russian experi- menter Lebedew, who has produced them from six to seven millimeters long. Prof. Rubens showed a thermo element, or heat catcher, invented by himself to take the place of Marconi’s coherer, which catches, like the coherer, the refracted and focused electric rays. The spark, he observed, was not at aH a necessary phenomenon in elec- tricity. He then made many curious ex- periments to show the similarity in ac- tion of waves of light and waves of elec- tricity, and also drew attention to the very different way in which electric and light waves pass through different sul:- stances. Thus he reflected electric waves like light, refracted them with prisms, and By a glance at one of these medico-musical charts one can see the pre- cise effect of a given note on a given in- strument in a given case. Thus a chord in B minor will produce a marked quieting of the nerves; a chord in G sharp will show an almost instant change of movd from Ge- pression to one of comparative cheerful- mss ,and s> on. A succession of minor chords played andante will move the pa- tient to tears, while a number of chords played in D sharp with allegro movement will arouse the patient's interest and i- duce him to tap hand or foot in time with the music's swing. The therapeutic value of the piano is known to a note; for every kind of ache there seems to be a corre- sponding note or a combination of notes. The violin, curiously enough, stands at the top of the list among the irstri:ments best adapted for hospital use. Placing the ther- .apeutic value of the violin at 100, the piano comes next at 99, the ‘cello at 95, and the reed organ at 95; the flute -is placed at 90, the mandolin at 89, the guitar at 87, the zither at 85, the banjo at 60, and the mouth organ cr harmonica very low down in the scale, somewhere between 35 and 50. The Human Voice. ‘The medical authorities who have given Henderson, Frank Hamilton, H. A. Walton. The injured—George Coffman, Jack Jones, James Phillips, Robert Eubanks, Charles Pender, George Parker. Of the wounded it is thought that two will die, as they suffered internal injuries. All of the dead and wounded were sent ta Vian, with the exception of Walton's body, it being taken to Van Buren, Ark., whera he has relatives living. None of the train- men was hurt. The wrecked train was a local freight from Coffeysville, Kan., to Van Buren, While the train was running at a speed of twenty miles an hour the forward trucks of one of the cars near the engine broke, wrecking fifteen cars loaded with walnut logs and baled ha: With the exception of two cars in front and three cars in the rear, including the caboose, every car of the twenty composing the train was ditched. In the middle of the train was a ear loaded with heavy machinery, and it was in this car that thirteen men were stealing a ride, and from which seven dead and six seriously wounded were taken by afterward. the trainmen shortly i i t connection with the secretaryship is that diffracted them with a wire grating of] the subject attention all agree that tenors | From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph, States are really in greater need of post | District for the finet soos SROs of the | CPR Gwent or aereryanl formerly Se aie parallel wires, as light is diffracted by we office savings banks than are the people of editor of the Manchester Load Most other nations.

Speaking of manual training, Superin- terdent Powell explained that all the ex- tensions posstble were made in that line last year. What is needed now, he says, is a High School for the manual training department. The situation is similar to that of the city, being provided with a complete system of graded schools with- out « high school. Repairs All Completed. ler. INTOLERANCE IN RUSSIA.

This was decided last night at the regular meeting of the Allegheny school board, which instructed its committee on com- pulsory education to formulate plans at once for the establishment of the institu- tion.
