As the result of a study of the vari ous types of receiving systems em ployed in wireless telegraphy, Charles A. Culver of the University of Pennsyl vania concludes that the resistance of the earth between the sending and re celving stations is of prime importance. He thinks that the theory that the waves are propagated through the sur face of the earth accounts for more of the observed facts than does the other theory that they pass through the free ether. At the same time he fiuds that the earth theory does not. at present ex plain some of the phenomena that are noticed in the practical working of the system.—Youth’s Companion. _ TIE 1 Flight of Henry Farman’s Aero plane In Paris.

WHBN IN A HURRY SIND TO THB LBDOKR FOR YOUR JOB FRINTIH* Work of the Successful Inventor «nd Hopes Founded Upon His Achieve ment—How Frenchmen Encourage Progress by Giving Prizes. I was lucky enough to study at lei sure the trial flights in Paris of Henry Farman for winning the $10,000 prize which lie earned so well, writes the New York Post’s special Paris corre spondent. He was to fly on his aero plane a half kilometer (one-third of a mile), then turn a goal and return to the starting point, ail without once touching ground. The length of this irregular ova! around which lie took his course In midair was full three- quarters of a mile, and since his vic tory. out of pure lightness of heart at a motor working well, he has made a circular flight three times as long. Not enough has been said of the mere look of man and machine as they “plane” against the sky. for a new verb is needed to describe the motion. It is like nothing else ever sqfn be fore. It is not even like Sautos-Du- mout’s little dirigible balloon, the No. 0. which carried him hack and forth so easily from place to place In the Bois de Boulogne, like an automobile running through the air. Small as Its gas hag was. the No. 9, like all bal loons. kept tlie look of being suspend ed by something held up in the air as it glided about. On the other hand, the biggest kite shows always by its movements that a string is bolding it down. Uarman’s aeroplane moves like ueitlier the one nor the other. It does not even resemble a giant bird cutting through space any more than an auto mobile resembles a horse. It is a vast huiAiu structure, as evi dently a machine as a steam engine, with its spread of boxlike cells and whirring motor and place for the pilot in the middle. Its flight through the air in long rising and falling curves as the motor varies its (lower is grace ful beyond measure, but thoroughly human—just such a mechanical grace as that of a motor launch over a broad expanse of water. Soon the sight will become as com mon as any other, for men have found what Clerk Maxwell called in electric ity the - “go” of the thing. Farman knows now just how many pounds weight his motor will take up into the air and for how long a flight. The motor’s the thing. All these steady advances, however slow, were made possible by Santos- Dumout’s daring In hitching a petro leum motor to a balloon. I was also lucky enough to follow his very first experiments, only ten years ago. He had to face the entreaties of anxious friends and the open scorn of profes sional men of the air. lie went on his way, year after year, undiscouraged by repeated /allures. But he made of each failure a trial experiment of his principle, which lie was sure was right. Thanks to his experiments, we have now two branches of an already practical industry—petroleum as a means of transport through the air. There are the great motor balloons for war, and there are these machines like Farman’s, without any gas to help them, flying of themselves by the pro pulsion of a petroleum motor. The world has moved within that space of ten years. No fair man can doubt that these flying machines will be made prac tical, little by little, like everything that comes to stay. They are here now for learning and sport Soon rich amateurs will use them for their luxu rious (ileasure. Last will come their plain, everyday use when time and constant experiments shall have made known their possibilities. The prizes which stimulate to experi ments like Furman’s have been gradu ated here in France with great good sense. Instead of asking a brand new, still uncertain invention to be put in competition with motor locomotion long practiced on terra firma, the first i prize was for flight in a straight line 1 for a distance long enough to prevent skeptics saying, ‘Took, that was only a great hound In the air!” Sautos-Du- mont won this first prize last autumn. Just as he was the first—publicly—to steer a balloon. Then M. Deutsch, the same who gave the $20,000 won by Santos by steering his balloon from St Cloud round the Eiffel tower and back, and M. Archdeacon offered the prize which Farman has just won. The task was to fly a moderate distance and turn in the air and return to the starting point Now M. Armengaud, an engineer of International reputation and an author ity on aeronautics, offers $2,000 to the man who will fly on his aeroplane for one-quarter of an hour without touch ing ground. First to fly at all, then to steer the flight now to prolong the fllght-these are the natural beginnings, even with a bird learning to fly. In due time will come long distance flights, starting and landing and steering matches, then other exercises of skill and—crown of all, as with the horse, with automo biles, with transatlantics—races. This Is a practical order of things Instead of gammoning the Inventor first off to do everything at once or for ever after hold his peace. Englishmen are claiming Farman as their own, and be may be one of the king’s subjects. For all that, be la a product of Peris as a man and as one who has flowrdtbrough the air.

Uuririr.l. the* writer and lec turer. who !r d "lag Ills time to eon- ductin'’ a “h mseUeeplng experiment station” in Darien. Conn., talked about his Institution the other day as fol lows: "A housekeeping experiment station Is a U( w idea. An agricultural station must have barns, field laboratories and greenhouses. It is wh*i" differ ent with a housekeeping s., ..on. All that is needed is a good country house. It should not Ik? a city house, fiat or apartment, liecause the great majority of housekeepers In tins country live out of town or on farms and without gas or electric light. “The aim of a housekeeping experi ment station should be to make experi ments on a housekeeping scale with ordinary appliances and under normal household conditions. This Is precise ly what Is done. So far as known it is the first housekeeping experiment sta tion In the world to open its doors to the house mothers of this country. “Experiments are performed in schools and colleges in household eco nomics. notably at the Teachers’ col lege in New York, but these are schools. The new station is a home, occupied and used as such, and also used as a place where experiments In housekeeping are conducted for the benefit of any householder who wants to know how and why certain things done In housework can best be done." For nearly two years Mr. Barnard used bis home as a place where he could test new housekeeping appliances, new methods and materials. House keepers have applied to the station from every part of the country, manu facturers of household appliances send their new inventions to the station to be tested, town officials ask for Infor mation in regard to the best method of lighting streets, and architects have sought Information hi regard to laying out and furnishing kitchens. A delegation from the Teachers’ col lege of New York recently spent an afternoon as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Barnard and were surprised and pleas ed by the demonstrations in the use of alcohol in housekeeping. Mr. Barnard is a believer in the future of dena tured alcohol and has done much ex perimenting with It. SHELL MOUNDS. SHELTER FOR QUAIL Farmer’s Plan of Growing Sugar Cans to Stand During Winter. William E. MeCulley of Macon coun- tjAMo., thinks be has solved the prob- le$ of preserving quail. He owns quite a large farm, and he discovered that quail were becoming more and more scarce each year. Then be set about studying the cause and came to the conclusion that it was lack of shelter. Since then he has every spring plant ed sugar cane along the side of the hol lows of his farm and permits the same to stand during the winter. It affords quail nut only food, but shelter of the kind they like. Other farmers In Boone, Callaway and several other counties of the state- have adopted Mr. MeCulley "s plan, and they think It is just what was needed. It is a fact that quail will not stay where they cannot find shelter. In many of the best counties (here Is very little natural shelter left, as every foot of available ground is under cul tivation. In such localities It has been observed that the quail have nearly all left, ami it seems pretty well set tled that they will never return unless artificial shelter Is provided for them. Sugar cane when thickly planted furnishes just what those birds seem to want. Tbey^are very fond of the seed, and as the season advances the cane stalks fall down and provide a thick mass in which the quail can hide from their natural enemies—hawks and owls—and also affords a nesting place in the spring and summer. Ancient Indians of Florida Used Them In Religious Rites. One of the most Interesting features of the state of Florida are the Indian mounds to be found scattered through out the peninsula, which may be divided into two classes, the shell am! the burial. In those of shell no re mains of any kind have ever been dis Covered, this being the first and mos; marked distinction lietweeu the two kinds of mounds. The shell mound; are themselves of two different kin . the nati.ral and artificial, and are <>. different sizes, though both large and small of the artificial type are eltner oblong or circular, laid out mnthemat ically to proportionately certain heights and circumferences. There are numer. ous artificial mounds near the St. Johns river, and along the coast many, both natural and artificial, are to Ik* found. The action of wind and wave easily accounts for the former, but eon ceming the latter, of man made origin, there are several theories. Some are supposed to have been strictly resl dence mounds, some observation orcer emonial, being connected with the roll gions rites of the ancient Indians, and others are believed to have been either open air ballot boxes, where, as In^hc early history of < 1 reece, votes were cast by means of shells or were de posits of tribute shells from Inferior tribes passing through the country of some great chief or possibly coming at stated times to pay their dues. At St. Petersburg, on the southwest coast of Florida, there is an Interest ing collection of both shell and burial mounds, the smaller heaps composed entirely of magnificent specimens of oyster shells varying from six t<> twelve Inches In length and about two and n half inches in diameter, laid like brickwork, overlapping. The largest remaining shell mound (many have been carried away for street paving, etc.) Is conical in shape. 00 feet in height and 100 feet in diameter. It is covered to the top with grass growing under live oaks and pine trees which are not less than a century old. Sonic of the burial mounds are circular an ! others are sugar loaf. They have never been dug into to any extent, and in consequence the value of their relics is not yet known.—Springfield (Mass.; Republican.

Cold Comfort In London. “Everything that shouldn’t be warm in England Is warm,” says Samuel G. Blythe In "An American In London” In Everybody’s Magazine, “and every thing that should be warm is cold. The bouses are catacombs, always ex cepting those few hotels In London where they have steam heat, which Is, of course, due to the advance of American civilization. Englishmen sa,\ they do not feel the cold. Everybody else feels It, for it Is the meanest cold In the world. Extended observation leads to the conclusion that the reason the English^lo not feel the cold Is that they are desensitized—sort of refrig orator beefed, so to speak. This Is not the main point. The reason the Eng lish shiver around in cold, damp rooms, trying 4 o make themselves believe a few hunks uf cannel coal in a grate furnish all the heat required by the most delicate, is that somebody In an cient days who couldn’t get anything to Warm himself up did the next best thing iMid declared he didn't feel the cold and didn't need a fire anyhow. Other Englishmen hoard of It, and this Idea has been a fetich ever since.” This May interest You.

This Is the season for coughs and colds, and for the benefit of Gaffney people a member of The Gaffney Drag Co., tells them the best means for a cure. He says: “Take Vlnol, our real cod liver preparation without oil. It dees not upset the stomach like cough syrups, and it is much more effective. Vlnol is not a palliative but a curative.” This is because Vlnol contains In a highly concentrated form all of the healing, strength creating and medici nal elements of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cod’s.-llvers, with all the usefulness, nauseating oil elimi nated and tonic iron added.
