BIBL SOLS GOK ALE 8 | ‘|recommend the general adoption of -FAVORS MARCONI SYSTEM. special Commission in Great Britain * to Urge the Adoption of Wire- less Telegraphy. A revolution—but one which would andoubtedly be weleomed—looks like 2zoming to pass in the near future. It is no less than revolution of the tele- graphic arrangements. For’a long time people have quite lost sight of or forgotten the fact that a departmental commission has beén appointed to consider the ques- tion of wireless telegraphy, but now it is understood the commission will very shortly report favorably and the system in the British isles by the postal authorities. Though nothing has been officially announced, it is not denied that the extraordinary success of the experi- ments which have been carried on during the last week on board the steamer Princess Clementine, cross- ing the channel between Dover and Ostend, has hastened the determina- tion of the commission and proved to it that wireless telegraphy is quite ready for use in serious earnest. There are, of course, many things to be considered, one being the ques- tion of government monopoly, but ; the commission is about to suggest | to Mr. Mareoni the terms on which the patents may be acquired. Mr. Marconi recognizes the difficul- ties in the way of arranging details but he is anxious to cooperate with the commission in every way in order to expedite matters. OPPOSES SUBMARINE CRAFT. Torpedo Boat Builder mnaenyecatt, of England, Says It Is of Little Use. Mr. Thornycroft, England’s torpedo boat builder; has been expressing in- teresting opinions on submarine boats, He does not believe it necessary for Great Britain to build submarine boats, even if the experiments of oth- er nations have beep quite successful. He is carefully studying the problem of devising a submarine destroyer should it ever be necessary. He re- gards the American submarine boat as the best type yet made. But he doubts its efficacy, even for harbor defense. “A shell dropped in the neighbor- hood of a submarine boat,” said Mr. Thornycroft, “and exploded either level or below it? would afford suffi- cient shock to crumple up the boat. ?ossession of a submarine boat of your own will not help you to find an enemy’s. They are at present of too limited range and insufficient propell- ing power to be really a serious factor and the unsatisfied problem of keep- ing a level keel under water is yet to be soived. If I ever hate to go under water with a submarine boat I will prefer to sit outside.” 3 In spite of the pessimistic opinions of Mr. Thornycroft the Pritish ad- miralty has at last decided ‘to grant a submarine boat designed by J. E. Howard, of Tasmania, an official trial. | POOR PAY FOR NOBLE SCION. || REPAN'S msures Doctors find A Good ' | Preseription For mankind Ten for five cents,at Druggists, Grocers, Restaurants, M Saloons, News-Stands, General Stores and Barbers " 7 Shops: ' They banish pain, induce sleep, and prolong life, { One gives relief!

The | fashionable set in which Canfield moves | is shocked, but the young people are’ not troubled. Mr. Canfield, Sr., was | seriously disturbed at first, but the | young man took Miss Donnell to his | house and introduced her to his par- ents. She won them instantly and Mr. Canfieid told his son he could have made no better choice. Miss Donnell is 24 years old and a) beautiful brunette. She was left an} orphan one year agoand promptly be-! gan to make her own living.

SHEEP IN EAGLE’S TALONS. Bird’s Efforts to Get Away with Its Prey Is Frustrated—Fail to Bag the Eagle. They joked with him for a! While R. M. Dotson, an oil man, was Griving from the oil field west of Lima, O., the other afternoon, he no- ticed a commotion among a flock of sheep on the Coon farm. He stopped to investigate and was surprised to| | see a large gray eagle with its claws | | fastened in the back of a sheep, with which it was trying to fly away. Mr. Dotson, who was unarmed,’ hastened to Coon’s house, secured a gun and returned with Coon. Just as they got near enough to the eagle to shoot the bird released its hold on the sheep and started to fly away. Dot- son took a shot and the bird was slightly wounded, but continued its/ flight. The sheep was found dead and several others were wounded. Mr. Dotson says the eagle measured fully ten feet from tip to tip. This is the first eagle seen in this section of the country* for many years. _ All in the Interest of Science, Prof. Emil Yung, of Geneva, Switz erland, has counted the ants in five nests. Their numbers were 53,018, 67,- 470, 12,933, 93,694 and 47,828. — Flowe: A in London, Florists aver that London expends, 3 flowers. $25,000 a day upon cut TEST OF WARNING LIGHTS. Government Seeking to Obtain a Lamp That Will Throw a Beam Many Miles to Sea. i Tests are now in progress in Wash- ington of storm warning lights to be placed on the new signal towers re- cently authorized by congress to be es- tablished in the principal harbors of the country. A large number of makes of light have been submitted for adoption and are now under consideration. It is planned to test the power of the re- spective lights from the tower of the postal officials. The object aimed at is to increase the carrying capacity of the lights. While the present maxi- mum is about five or six miles it is hoped to reach a distance of 12 miles at sea with the new oil lamps, and 15 to 18 miles with the electric lights in ordin- ary weather. Makers of lamps in this country and Europe have entered into the competition, which is now closed, for equipping the 300 stations contem- plated. American makers have pro- tested against the award of the con- tract to the foreign manufacturers, and Chief Moore, of the weather bureau, | has decided that preference will .be | given to the American bidders unless the European lens greatly exceeds in power the American lamp. COLORED JEWELS GAIN FAVOR World of Fashicn in Paris Decrees \ Their Return to Popu- larity, Colored precious stones which at one | time were sacrificed to diamonds and pearls have now found favor in the world of fashion at Paris. Even coral, which for a long time was neglected, is regaining its rank as an article of adornment, together with those old- fashioned stones, the topaz, the ame- thyst, the opal and the chrystalite. Naturally the ruby, the emerald and the sapphire retain their favorite place among jewels of price. Their cut and setting show infinite variety. They are worn not only as necklaces, brooches or | pendants, but also on chains, belts, | corselets, rings, and on high, enormous coiffures, almost splendent in shimmering colors. This revel of precious stones, with an unprecedentedly lavish use of costly furs—sables, blue fox, black fox and silver fox—in wide cloaks, a la dogar- esse, or long coats reaching to the ground, together form the distinctive features of the winter's costly feminin- ities. Son of Wealthy English Duke Earns Four Dollars Per Week 9s Pian- ist at Boston Hotel. Arthur Hussey, youngest son of the | : duke of Hamilton, nephew of the marquis of Queensberry, brother-in-law of one of Queen Victoria’s most fa- mous soldiers, is a pianist in one of Boston’s hotels. But a few months ago he had a | patrimony of $2,000,000. Now he re- ceives $4 a week for playing the piano in a hotel cafe.

HISTORIC CHURCH IN DANGER. Edifice Which Gave the Idea of the American Flag Needs Repairs, Holy Trinity church, situated close to the Tower of London, in which is | the tomb of one of Washington’s ances- tors, bearing a coat of arms, which is supposed to be the origin of the stars and stripes, is threatened with de- struction, unless £200 is subscribed for its repair. What makes the church of interest to Americans is the tablet erected to the memory of Col. Legge, who married Elizabeth Washington. | | who died in 1670. This tablet is sur- | mounted by the Washington arms, con- sisting of five alternating bars of red and white, above which are five-point- ed red stars. These, it is said, sug- gested to George Washington the ‘American national flag. NEW MODE OF ANAESTHESIA. Done by Injection Near Spine—Eau Claire Physician One of the First to Use It, The new method of anaesthesia for operating below the diaphragm, con- sisting of injection of cocaine into the | lumbar portion of the spinal column; | being a substitution for general anaes- thesia, leaving the patient fully con- scious, minimizing the shock, and leay- ing no injurious after effects, has been successfully used at Eau Claire, Wis., in the last two weeks for six delicate operations by a leading physician, This method was ‘not used in the United States prior to August 19 last, and has been used nowhere in the northwest except in Eau Claire, and in Chicago, where it was initiated by Dr. Murphy. Forty-Mile Ride for a Penny, The Russian government has de- cided upon the introduction of specially cheap fares upon the Trans-Siberian railway in order to encourage emigra- tion to the country. A ticket from Russia to Tobolsk only costs a little over one dollar, and from Tobolsk to ‘any station whatever in Siberia the ire is only nine shillings.
