MECHANISM OF WIRELESS

Th aci"cm?.iny;ng illu-iraticn shov.-$ Mc .-!.. Ko:np and Hru! field operating the V.'inu rt atix enl rf the Marconi v.Irelesa telegraph system, which is r.uw in constant and perfect operation letween Wimereaux. ruar Boulogne, and South Foreland, England, a (listance of thirty-two miles, across the English channel. The wire which ran Le seen as passIng through the window of the office terminates at the top of a mast which Is more than 150 feet high and stands adjacent to the office. A similar mast is rigged near the office in South Foreland, and it is from the top of each of these masts that communications radiate through the air without the further aid of wires. The most astonishing feature of this new method of telegraphy is that intervening buildings, fogs, rain, snow, hills or ships do not impede the accuracy or speed of the invisible radiations which emanate from the wire on one mast and are taken up and registered by the disconnected wire at the peak of another mast thirty-two miles away. The characters in which messages thus expressed are the familiar dots and dashes of the old Morse code, and the illustration shows the receiving operator reading a message from the tape where it has been written b3 an in-TRAP-DOOR SPIDERS. And Others That Show They llaie Intelligence. Another curious species Is that of the trap-door spiders, whose nest consists of a tube excavated in the arth to the depth of six or eight inches. It is always lined with tilk and it is closed with an Ingeniously constructed dour. One sort of door closes into the nest like a cork in a bottle; another is as thin as a piece of paper. In all cases the door opens outward, and when the nest is placed, as it usually is, on a sloping bank, it opens upward. so that there is no fear of its gaping. The object of the trapdoor is to conceal the nest, and consequently it is always made to resemble the general surface of the ground. Sometimes, however, an enemy attempts to open the door; and then the inmate braces its legs against the sides of the nest and holds it as fast as possible. Still other spiders have inner doors besides the outer, so that if their first defense be carried, they may have another behind which to retreat. More curious still is the ingenuity of the branch trap door that is to say, a door that opens from the main tunnel of the nest into a side branch, which the spider knows, of course, but which no stranger could discover, since there is nothing to distinguish it from any part of the main nest. So. then, if an enemy should effect an entrance, the lawful occupant of the nest can quietly slip into tie side branch, close to the door, and there remain in security while the intruder wonders what has become of her. If all these wonderful things are done by Instinct, have we any proof whatever of individual Intelligence among spiders? Most assuredly. If we remember that intelligence is proved whenever we observe a manifest application of means appropriate to the accomplishment of particular ends, it is hardly possible to deny that there is some evidence of the intelligence of spiders. Many instances have occurred more or less like the following: "One of my friends was accustomed to grant shelter to a rwimher of garden spiders under a large veranda, and to watch their habits. One day a storm broke out. and the wind raged so furiously through the garden that the spiders suffered damage from it. although sheltered by tne veranda. The mainyards of one of these webs, as the sailors would call them, were broken so that the web was blown hither and thither. like a slack sail in a storm. The spider made no fresh threads, but tried to heln ltelf in another way. It let itself down to the ground by a thread, and crawled to a place where lay som splintered pieces of a wooden fence, thrown down by the storm. It fastened a thread to one of the bits of wood, turned back with it and hung it with a strong thread to the lower part of its nest, about five feet from the ground. The performance was a wonderful one, for the w. ight of the wood sufficed to keep the nest tolerably firm, while it was yet light enough to yield to the wind, and so prevent further injury. The piece of wood was about two and one-half inches long and as thick as a goosequill. On the following day a careless servant knocked her head against the wod. and it fell down. But In the course of a few hour3 the spider had round it and brought it back to it-

ftrument very much like the stock ticker which every one has seen and

most people understand. Professor Hertz gives a concise and intelligiblo description of the transmitter and vereiver invented by Marconi, as lows: fol"The superiority of Marconi's apparatus is largely due to its simplicity. The transmitter consists of two small brass spheres fitted in an insulated case and half immersed in oil for the regularizlng of the emitted radiations, one end being connected to earth, the other with an elevated conductor. The current is supplied with a powerful induction coil, controlled by a Morse key. Thus, the waves that travel abroad, as the sparks pass between the globular terminals, are impressed 'ab initio,' with communications in the familiar 'dot and dash' alphabet. "Marconi's receiver is of an exquisitely ingenious type. Its vital part is the minute instrument called by Dr. Lodge, who in 1S93 modified it. a 'coheier;, by M. Branly. who in invented It. a 'radio-conductor.' As used by Sig. Marconi, it is an exhausted glass tube, less than two inches long and one-tenth of an inch in diameter, with sealed-in conducting wires, separated by a shallow layer of nickel and silver filings. These in their ordinary. place. "When the storm had ceased the spider mended her web. broke the supporting thread in two. and let the wood fall to the ground." Our Animal Friends. l'ower of the Gladstone. An American surgeon, Mr. C. F. Turner, of Snickersville, has just bought for over $500 a madstone that appears to possess some remarkable qualities. The stone was brought from Europe probably England 136 years ago. It is about the size of a shilling, and has the appearance of a sandstone, but is smoother and somewhat porous. 1 lie c LU II r- ia J a i-s ua jcu auu i.ao n dark-brown color. It is claimed by those who have witnessed the power of the madstone that it is a certain cure for all bites of mad dogs and poisonous reptiles, and it is positively asserted that it has never yet failed to perform its functions if the patient reaches it in time. One well-authenticated case is given where two people were bitten about the same time by the same dog. One of the victims was a firm believer in the efficacy of the stone, had it applied to the wound, and never thereafter suffered any evil effects. The other, having no faith In the stone and its much-talked-of power, refused to f,o to it. and soon afterward died in agony from hydrophobia. The Dog of Conntant inople. The dogs of Constantinople are a peculiar institution. Their number is legion, and not one of them has a master, for the Mohammedan regards the canine as unclean. They are tolerated because they are a necessity to the health of the city. With all its splendor and magnificence, Constantinople is a filthy city. It has no system of sewerage, and all garbage is emptied into the streets. These dogs are the scavengers; they eat everything and preserve the people from contagion. Of their own movement they district the city, and no individual dog may trespass upon another bailiwick without being torn to pieces and devoured. They are an ill-conditioned, mangy set. ever barking or yelping, friendless and wont to be kicked by every pa -sing man. I'nlike docs in every other part of the world, they have no affection for man. and will run in fear if he does but glance at them. Ilrnerted. "I am wedded to art," said Parley.

loose state are almost perfect insula tors, but no sooner are they impinged upon by Hertzian wave3 than they oo- ( here and conduct. Dr. Lodge describes : the effect as 4a singular variety 01 electric welding.' in which 'the momentary electric quiver acts as if it were a flux.' A highly sensitive detector is thus obtained, and its sensitiveness is increased by the attachment to it of an insulated wir raised to a height cf about 130 feet, which serves to collect vibrations running to waste In the sky. The restoration to the coherer of its detective efficacy is brought about by the automatic action of a tapper, started by the passing of the current, which loosens metallic particles in the tube, and renders them c;:ce more nonconductive. The alternate makings and breakings of the circuit at longer and shorter inter71 vals, corresponding to dots and dashes of the code, are the means by which the messages intrusted many miles away to the ether are delivered. The current excited is indeed too feeble directly to do the work required of it. but it suffices to actuate a delicate relay by which a more powerful battery is thrown into the circuit." I!very Man on the "Force." The Chinese detective force is a secret body, and the best organized in the world. They have an eye upon every man, woman, or child, foreign or native, in China, and, in addition watch over each other: Nothing is so exasperating as the memory of misfortune that was all our own fault. Fl RE-RESISTING MATERIAL. A flatter That Does Not Transmit Heal to Wood Which Jt Covers. The most vital step in constructing thoroughly fireproof buildings nowadays is the substitution of stone, brick, terra cotta. metal and other incombustible material for wood, and the complete elimination of the latter from the edifice. But it is not practicable to carry out this latter part of the programme without much expense, and therefore endeavors have been made to render the wood fireproof. One way of attaining that object is to treat it chemically and fill the pores with substances that will discourage combustion. This 13 the plan followed on warships today. Another idea which has been received with favor is to cover the wood after it is in place with plaster composed of lime and vegetable fiber, to give the compound a body, and certain chemicals to resist the fire. A test of an invention of this latter class was made in Indon a few days ago. The author of the system, named Rous, and a number of experts were present. The Pall Mall Gazette tells the story. Bits of wood were coated to a depth of three-quarters of an Inch with the stuff and then subjected to the flame o! a blowpipe. Similar specimens were thrust into a boiler furnace. The blowpipe, used continuously for twenty minutes, did not sensibly raLe the temperature under the compound. The piece of plastered wood that was put irto the furnace stayed there half an hour. When it was removed the coating was chipped off with a tool, and the wood showed a temperature of only 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The only costly ingredient of Mr. Rous" mixture is tungstate of soda. Truth Above AU Thing. The person who goes against his own interest by the rigidness of his devotion to truth sometimes finds that he has served his Interest in that very way. An English paper tells this story: A boy once applied at a store for work. "We don't like lazy boys here," said the manager. "Are you fjnd of work." "No. sir," responded the boy, looking the other straight in the face. "Oh, you're not. are you? Well, we want a boy that is." "There ain't any," said the boy, decidedly. "Oh, yes, there are. We have had over half a dozen of that kind this morning to take the place we have. "How do you know they are?" asked the boy. "They told me so." "So could I. but I'm not a liar." And the lad said it with such an air of convincing energy that he was engaged at once. I la rest roeket-llandkerehlef In the World. This Is possessed by Queen Margaret of Italy.

A hunter tells r-or.ie wonderful stories about the strength of grizzly bears. He saw one that had had one of its forepaws shot useless, use the other to draw up its weight of eleven hundred pounds up a precipice, where it seemed as if the feat were impossible. He tells also of cows knocked over by a single blow from the forepaw of a bear; but perhaps his most surprising story is of an occurrence that he witnessed three summers ago. He says: "I spent the season in the coast mountains near Hudson bay, and one moonlight night I saw a big grizzly bear in the act ol carrying a dead cow home to her cub. I had a position on a mountain side, from which I could see every movement of the bear in the sparsely timbered valley below. She carried the cow in her forepaws for at least three miles, across jagged rocks ten feet high, over fallen logs, around the rocky mountainside where een a jackass could not get a foothold, to a narrow trail up the steep mountain. She never stopped to rest a moment, but went straight on. I followed her, and about half a mile from her lair laid her low. The cow weighed at least two hundred pounds and the be; r about four hundred and fifty." There I a Class of People Who are injured by the use of coffee.

He says that many of these movements were made on short notice and his department had too frequently to rely upon insufliclent and sometimes inaccurate data. He realized that under such circumstances the company was placed in an embarrassing position and the extraordinary efforts made by the line to give satisfaction in every respect merited and received his fullest appreciation.

HUMAN STATURE.

Curious Tact About It It Is rossihta to A11 to the Heielit. I do not think it is possible to add more than an inch or so to human stature, said a well-known physician in answer to a question of the writer. This is one respect in which nature insists on having her own way, and I am quite sure that under no conditions would it be possible to raise a race of giants. Nature is always at work correcting any tendency to extremes, though here and there someone escapes hc-r notice and grows into a giant or dwindles into a dwarf. You might think the tall parents would have taller children than themselves, but a little observation will prove that this is not so. Nature always seems to be striving to reach and maintain a medium height, so that as a rule tall parents have shorter children than themselves, and short parents raise taller children; the two extremes meeting in a fev generations at the average height. Hut something can certainly be done if the attempt be made early. Practically a man does all his growing before he is eighteen and a woman before she is sixteen, although I have known cases where a man has grown perceptibly in .stature until long past thirty. After all. stature is largely a question of length of legs. If you take three men, one of -ix feet, another of five feet six inches and a third of five feet, there will be only the smallest difference in the length of the body, and in fact the short man may have the longest body of the three. Hut the long man will have an advantage of ten inches in length of leg over the short man. The margin for growth in the legs i Cfi per cent more than in the body. This means that the legs of an adult are five times a. long as when he was born, his body three times, and his head twice its original length. j It i.s thus, you see. ery largely a question of legs, and to the legs we must look for any great increase in stature. As you may know, each leg bone is in early youth in three distinct pieces, which later unite into one bone. If you could devise any means of preventing this unison or delaying it for a few years, there is no question that although you would destroy the proportion and symmetry of the body. Nothing checks growth more than illness, and by avoiding it you help growth very substantially, especially in the very early years. I think you will find that most men and women who are dwarfs have suffered from repeated illnesses in the rirst few years of their lives, and have been unable to make up the leaway. Anything which promotes health pnvmotes growth, and the only royal road to stature and symmetry is in the direction of fresh air. nourishing food and judicious exercise. You see what the emancipation of our daughters had already done for their stature. In the old days, when girls were shut out from almost every form of outdoor ".- ercise, it was unusual to see one higher than five feet six inches. Now that Ihey cycle and swim, and play golf and tennis as unrestrainedly as their brothers, they shoot up like young saplings to five feet nine inches, and even six feet. I quite believe that in another generation the average height of women will be quite two inches more than in he last generation. It is curious to observe how the average height of men varies, with the class to which they belong The wealthy and professional classes are quite three inches to four inches taller than the poor, working classes, and the intermediate stages are marked by the degree of prosperity of the class to which a man belongs, so that while an average factory worker is about five feet five inches, a skilled artisan will be five feet six Inches; a laborer, five feet seven inches; a tradesman, five feet eight inches; and a lawyer or doctor, five feet nine inches. Briefly, then, my advice , if you wairt your children to be tall that Is, to attain their full natural growthguard against illness of all kinds, let them be in the fresh air and sunshine as much as possible, oncourage every kind of open air exercise in moderation, with a course of gymnastics to make them straight and supple, feed them on plain and nourishing food, and send them to bed early. Human science can do nothing more than this to make them tall, although "elevators" may add a fraudulent inch or two. Tit-Bits. A I'orkft Monkey. One of the queerest and most interesting of pets is the fashionable pocket monkey. This is the smallest member of the monkey family, and has already become a favorite with the matinee girl, who delights to carry him with her in her muff, upon her sleeve or in her coat pocket. He has a blinking, intelligent face; even, tiny teeth, delicate hands and feet, and is equipped with a plumy boa in the shape of a feathery tail, which he wraps about his throat at night. This little pet is very affectionate, and will go all through his most coaxing ways for one of his favorite meal worms, which he eats from time to time. He is easily cared for, eating bread nd milk and fruit, lives several years, an odd. chattering pet, full of interest and entertainment. The pocket monkey costs from $S to $20. Philadelphia Times. ArnenU-al Wall Paper. The former popular fear of arsenical wall paper appears to have quite subsided. However, several cases of alleged poisoning by arsenical wall papers having occurred in Ithaca, Dr. E. M. Chamoi, of the chemical department of Cornell university, undertook a series of analyses of wall papers of various colors and patterns, a3 a result of which he is said to have asserted that nearly all wall papers sold at the present time contain arsenic, some of them in large quantities.
