"I have seen it mentioned in the pa* v <pers," stiffly replied Mrs. Bowser. "Then yon know what the idea is. It 5.' is to telegraph without wires, or by sonnd waves of the human voice. The boman voice, as i may explain to yon, : i does not issue from the throat like a piece of turnip, but in waves following ;; ^ach other so closely that k is hard to : > -"detect the intervals between tbem.\ For instance, my voice as 1 now speak " , ' to yon seems to string out like a rope, doesn't it?" "Yes. 1 was just thinking bow much \ it resembled an old clothesline." "Thanks! Ignorance always tries to hide behind sarcasm: However, there "WHO CALLED ME?" Jiro scores of breaks or intervals in my voice just the same. only your ears detect J hem." ; "AjhJ what if they don't?" He Starts Off. "All, there is rf*.* key to the whole j "thing. Two or three-people are working at ir, bnt they have just missed it as vet. They don't go on the right principle. They forget that the last sound or wave must be heavy to drive the other wave before it to a distance." "And so some one has started you off on that fad?" she queried as lie balanced himself on his heels and looked i I down upon her in a pitying, patronizv r ? ing way. "Call it what you will, Mrs. Bowser? ; j fad, discovery or torn tilery?hut I J'r . have solved the problem for the world, v i the name of Bowser has been placed above those of Edison and Tos- j j-i | la.

"Who, called rae?" she demanded, looking from one to the other. "Do you seeT' asked Mr. Bowser as he turned to bis wife. "Who called and said that my mother died at 5 o'clock?* shouted Bridget as she waved both dfsh and cloth. "My dear woman, did you ever hear of wireless telegraphy?' soothingly asked Mr. Bowser as he laid a hand on her arm. "Never, sir, and if It was you that said my poor mother was dead and you were glad of it I'm out of this house In two. minutes! I have never lived In the family of a villain yet and with the help of heaven 1 never will!" He spent fifteen minutes trying to explain ..the affair to ber. and she finally decided to bang on for a day or two Itooger. When she bad retired to ber domain Mr. Bowser consoled himself by saying: -1 ought to have remembered that she didn't know putty from pepper. You must adipit. that my system is a success, however:** - "Yes^your yell conW have beep beard ia'^blocb away.^ TepHed^ Mrs. ROwser. -but I - on't consider it a real test at alL You'd have to have a roar like forty bulls to drive the 6ound waves ten or fifteen miles." -That shows all you know about it.

In a voice hardly above a whisper he sent his clear tire track wave ahead by calling: wJones! Jones! Ah, there, Jones' Say. Jones, do you hear me?" If Jones did there was no sign of it. but Mr. Bowser went on with the message: . "Tell Jones that I know where he was last night. Out I'll keep mum about it." Then lie lifted his voice a trifle for the driving wave, and tlie whole thing was supposed to l>e rolling in on Junesthrough wall ur window when an old tin pail struck Mr. Bowser in tiro stomach, a piece of can I found n resting place on his cliiu and bottles and cans hit all around him and voices cried out: -Peg him agin! It's old Bowser out throwing poison to our cats and dogs!" "Come into the house with your tinhorn foolery if you don't want to be killed dead!" shouted the cook as she reached outdoors for him. and Mr. Bow. ser feit the wind of an old demijohn ?x he backed into a place of safety. The woman squared off with her hands on her hips and began about her dead mother anew, but Mr. Bowser passed upstairs without a word. Mrs. Bowser sat reading and trying to look unconcerned. but he inarched up to her and 61IVUICU. ; ?

"And how many sound waves will it take to tell them?" He glared at her. . "And if you want the last to be a drive wave you'd better leave the horn." lie gurgled, but words would not come "I stand on my heels when I shout, don't IV" "Wo-woman!"

Grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia, these are greatly to he feared at this time of the year. To prevent grippe from being followed by either pleurisy or pneumonia, it is important to drive the last traces of it out of the system quickly. Our advice is to take Vinol. our tfpHrinna end liver nnd iron orenant iioa without oil, and get your strength and vitality back quickly. Mrs. A. A. Grabill, of Strastyurg, Ya. says: '"Grippe left ine weak, run down and with a severe cough, from which I suffered four >ears.
