Sending messages by telegraph and
^ telephone without wires thousands of
miles over the oceans is a far cry
|gv from sending a wireless impulse the
5 length of a kitchen table. But before
Marconi did that others had discovered
principles which made it pos- "
C /'Mhle. Not, however, until Hertz dis|0^eovered
the progressive propagation of
5% electromagnetic action through space
? was the period of speculation and exI:
periment near its end.
~ Marconi, then a young man just out
of his teens, read of the experiments
of Hertz, and conceived the first ap?-"
paratus for demonstrating the idea.
At the end of several months he had
' his idea of such an apparatus complete
and a message in the Morse code
was sent the length of an ordinary
kitchen table on which the apparatus
Was set up. Out of this initial success
the wonderful system of wireless telegraph
and telephone communication of
today has developed, remarks the Detroit
News.
"Resurrection Plant"
During the autumn and early winter
several years ago men might have been
seen in the streets selling an odd little
plant which they called the "resurrection
plant." Many and wonderful
were the tales told *of the plant by
these itinerant salesmen to persuade
their prospective customers to buy.
Most of them either stated directly or
else led their hearers to infer that the
plants came only from the Holy land,
" where they were emblematical of the
Resurrection. Most of them, however,
were Polypodium incarium, the com
monest of all the ferns of Florida.
; During the dry season the plant
: curls up into a small ball and has the
' appearance of being dead. In this eonV
dition it will bear transportation well.
When placed in a bowl containing a
little water its leaves will unfold and
assume a bright green color, making
a pretty and ornamental plant.
" British Race Increasing.
The population of the United Kingdom,
a little less than 10.000.000 when
the century opened, had doubled by
* the time the American Civil war broke
out. In 1901 it was 41,458,721; in 1911
it was 4-5,221,615. The after-war census'for
Great Britain showed a population
of 42,707,5:10, excluding Ireland,
so that the total for the British islo>
. must now be well over 40.000.000. Tiiis
steady growth lias gone cn side by side
with a huge emigration. From ISoh
to 1920 14,000.0<K> Britishers left home
for places outside of Europe, for the
most part British North America, the
United States, Australia, British South
Africa and India.

THEN SHE AROSE SUDDENLY1
Elderly Lady Discovered She Had
Made Wrong Choice of Her
Resting Position.
It is hard sometimes for the old and
the young to arrive at a common point
of understanding. The old lady and i
the Sunday school boy in this story
did finally arrive at an understanding,
but not until the boy had suffered
damage to his feelings, if not to his
possessions.
A picnic was in progress, and the \
benevolent and elderly lady took much
enjoyment in witnessing the delight of
the children who were disporting them
selves in her grounds.
She went from one to another, saying
a few kind words to each. Presently
she seated herself on a grass ,
plot beside Dickie, a little boy with
golden curls and an angelic expression.
But as soon as he observed her sitting
beside him Dickie set up an ear-pierc- (
ing howl. !
"Have you the stomach-ache?" she
asked. anxious!}'.
"No, I ain't." snapped Dickie.
"Perhaps you would like some more j
cake."
"No!" roared the angelic child. '

"Yes, my frog! You're sitting on

Burmese Story of Man'o Origin.
A myth current among the Burmese
says that heavenly beings came
down from the skies to the earth, and
there ate Thalesan, a particular kind
of rich rice, which gradually made
them gross of kabit, so that thev were
unable to make their way back to the
higher heavens again and had to become
men and women.
The Chins have a story of the
Tower of Babel to account for the
various clans that 'inhabit the range
of hills looking down on the Bay ol
Bengal, and traditions of a deluge are
found everywhere. j
The Kachins tell a story of the passage
over a bridge, to the afterlife,
and there are many more of the kind
that suggest these folk-myths come
down from a long-gone past. :
