SCIENTIFIC PROGRE OT many months ago The Call secured the services of Marconi -to report - the interna- tional yacht race by wireless telegraphy, From the .deck of a steamer he operated his device and transmitted shoreward, through the air, every detail of the series of races, and it was immediately forwarded by wire across the continent and bulletined for the information of the public. Each dispatch was read on The Call building a few minutes after it left Marconi’s boat, so that we furnished to the public in San Francisco, 3500 miles from the scene, more prompt news of every move in the great race than the people on shore in sight of the yachts could It will be remembered that at least one of our contemporaries in this city, chafing under its defeat in getting news of the race, and furibus because the dense crowd ‘in newspaper triangle stood back to its bulletins and facing The Call’s, sneered and raved at Marconi and belittled his great invention. This was so recently that the newspaper which did it still smarts at the recollec- tion. But its sneers did not demonstrate anything but its own disappointment. ~ They did not un- make the greatest discovery since Morse conquered: distance and time by wire-transmitted elec- tricity. 4 3 Marconi has since then continued his experiments and progressed in the improvement of his device until he is able to greatly increase the distance ‘over which he can correctly transmit mes- sages, using no other medium than the air. g It is an issue of such supreme importance to the telegraph companies that every skilled electrician in the world has his attention strained to every sign made by Marconi. The extent to which he has captured the confidence of experts may be judged by the fact that schemes for lay- ing ocean cablés are held in abeyance, waiting to. see if hie will not obsolete every cable now in'use: Foreign capitalists and foreign governments ‘are ‘waiting before seeking- to improve . submarine communication, in the expectation that Marconi’s aerial and synchronous system will make cable laying unnecessary. " Our own Government is pausing in the Pacific cable. scheme, which has been cherished for years, and it is said that the Congressional committees which have the matter under consideration have decided that it is better to wait on Marconi's experiments, which' promise to make cables unnecessary. This is only one of many instances in which science is progressing so rapidly in practical application that what was new to-day is - obsolete and no longer useful to-morrow. The same crowd that read Marconi’s. wireless messages on The Call bulletin so recently may soon read on the same bulletin news from Peking on one side and Paris on the other, from. Tobolsk on: one side of the equator and Tahiti on the other. The generating and distributing devices for electricity have so progressed in improvement that an electric plant, put in now, leaves one five years old as far behind as the reaper -leaves the sickle, but can give no assurance that five years hence it will not be-itself obsoleted. The ultimate is not vet in-sight, for really only a little is known of ‘the nature of clec- tricity. It may well be that some method of generation dnd distribution as simple as the means by which nature manifests it in the thunder clouds may be discovered that ‘will wipe out all the mechanism now in use. CALIFORNIA CPfRIST-MAS GOODS. HRISTMAS is coming, and already the stores have begun to show - their bright array. of Christmas goods. The shopping season for those who intend to send gifts to relatives or friends in the East is at hand. It is therefore timely to recall to Californians that in se- lecting gifts for such purposes preference should be given to those of California production. and manufacture. ; s In the first place it is to be noted #t a gift from California will if nine cases out of ten be more welcome in a distant State if it be thoroughly Californian in its nature. To send to the East from this State something that was made in the East or in Europe will be like sending New= castle coal back to Newcastle. Such things are common in the FEast. -There will be nothing of novelty about them there, no matter how novel they may appear here; and moreover they will lack the charm which attaches to a gift that represents something of the native beauty and art of There is another consideration of importance. California sends abroad every year- many thousands of dollars for Christmas goods when nearly the whole of the amount might just as well be kept at home for the promotion of local artistic industries. We do rot at this tinie pro- duce much in the way of Christmas goods, but that is due mainly to the fact that there has been comparatively little encouragement, given to the manufacture of such goods. % : If our people during the Christmas season now opening will send to their friends in the East as holiday remembrances handsomely packed boxes of California fruits and wines, or - specimeris of our fine woods wrought into artistic and useful forms, paintings or photographs of California scenes and flowers, and California books and calendars, they will have the gratification of render- ing a service to the State as well as delighting an absent friend. Bear the fact in mind. Tn your holiday shopping patronize home industry. Sl A MARVEL IN TRANSPORTATION. ASTERN farmers have long been complaining of the competition of the West, and it ap- pears they have in many instances good reasons to sustain them. between the States of the Middle West and the Atlantic seaboard has now brought the farms of Minnesota and Iowa, and even the Dakotas, commercially nearer to New York City than are the farms of the adjoining counties, At the recent annual dinner of the New York Chamber of Commerce President Cowen of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway stated that it now costs less to bring wheat, the equivalent of a barrel of flour, from a point 500 miles west of the Mississippi River to Minnesota, to have it ground there and converted into flour, and then to transport the barrel of flour thus made to the city of New York, than it costs to bake the flour and distribute it to the bread consumers of New York after it has arrived in that city. 3 ; : Transportation at such rates constitutes one of the marvels of the century. Tt explains the rapid growth of the Middle West and reveals something of the handicap on the Pacific Coast, and particularly on California, where the Southern Pacific continues to levy all the traffic will bear. Fortunately we have now prospects of better things, and we may hope to see at a not distant date our transcontinental roads duplicating to some extent the wonders achieved in the East. EXPOSITIONS AND MARRIAGES. ARIS has been amazed to find a sudden boom in her matrimonial market, rate in that city is never high, and consequently marriages in the first week of October the planations of the phenomenon. : From reports that come to us it appears to be the prevailing belief that the exposition is the main cause of the increase. It is argued that the big show has,put a good deal of money into circulation and thus enabled a good many more people to set up housekeeping than would other- wise have been the case. Furthermore the artistic exhibits of household decorations on every sort of scale, from those designed for palaces to those for flats or workmen’s cottages, have tempted : good many comfort-loving persons to get martied just for the sake of having a home to ecorate. L : . : - If these views of the subject be confirmed by The marriage t when the municipal register recorded 603 sociologists of the city began to search out ex- further investigation’ and if the increase in position next year.
