Ab Ingenious Machlrte Which Reads and
'Receives Messages. .
A wireless telegraph writer, or icro
graph as It Is called for the sake ot
brevity, bat been Invented by an En?
Ilshui.in. The aerograph lu appeHrnnre
resembles an ordinary typewriter, but
It Is of simpler construction, with a
keyboard figured with tbe signs of the
lexers and numerals," which can be
printed or telegraphed to auy Dumber
of Instruments. Each Instrument, the
Inventor explains, Is at once a receiver
and a transmitter, enabling operators
to converse with out another In writ
ing) and thus Obviating ' misunder
standings; which afe apt to occur lu
telephonic communications: fed faf
messages hare been sent only for i
short dlstnnce, but It is Intended to ex
periment over wider spaces, aud it Is
hoped that messages cauvbe sent to
any distance that ether waves will
carry: The machine Is always ready
for Immediate use, and ss there Is no
mechanism which requires td be
wound t'p-lu order to obtain synchron
ism, the operator has both bauds free
for manipulation.
Another advantage claimed for the
Invention wilt be of special impdf tauee
In military affairs.' Messages cannot
be picked up. : To quote the Inventor's
own words: "In sending n message
yon are sounding two ether wares
which allow you a choice of fifty-six
signs, and ; these are given direct
print, either as letters or figures. Ab
solute secrecy Is thus obtained. The
only way to Intercept messages would
be, to employ a similar Instrument,
which would have toJe synchronized
to the same degree as the transmitting
instrument. Lastly, these machines
will receive their messages (which ate
giveu at present nt a speed 6f twenty
five words a minute) without anybody
being present, and would thus be ot
great advantage In n signal box, i.r.
the signal -nan will receive clearly

sent tbe time the message Is sent to
him. Nor will the machines work only
without wires. I gave a lecture In

The iippara-tus consists of a type
writer, which, hv depressing a key,
sends two impulses. Eacll letter re
quires only two Impulses, and the dif
ferent lettcis are obtained by means
of the time interval between thesi'Jui
pnlses. For wireless purposes these
Impulses operate a switch connection
with the induction coil, thus making
the sparks for sending the ether
waves. The inductlou. coil is con

Yes, sir, we do all that, and, what Is

Lady Cromer, when, with her hus
band. Lord Cromer, and Countess Val-
da Glelcben, making a tour In the
Soudan, became In time accustomed to
the peculiar "welcome" of the Soudan
ese women, which at first Is somewhat
trying to the nerves. Each native
woman present emits peculiar long,
shrill erics, the while she hosts viur-
f.iisssrt. .
(The reply of a lonely Inubsnd whose,
wife has asked in one of her letters: "De
lou miss m C; deal t")
I miss you, dear?" yw ask me.
Since you've joirneveil far itifayl ,
Am I consrious of your ah'eiice;'
Ah, my treasure, I should say!
I hart ceased to lock the windows -When
I go to bed at riightj '
I have ceased to rare a cooky . .
Whether everything's all right.
It the kitchen gas keeps burning '
I 'don't know it and don't cares.;-.'
'Xeath the bed thieves msi ' be hiding,
I've sworn off looking there.
Darling, I have eeane'l to hot her
Willi tha bird and with the cat.
They're attended to i y Muggic,
Wild has full charge of tho flat.
I have ceased, my oW; to) worry,
When the busy day has fled;
And I get to feeling sleepy,
I just tumble into bed.
, No more peering round in corners,
No more nightly chows for me;
From a score of vexing duties
For the present I am free.
Do I miss you, dear, y'oii Jslt tne?
Yes, oh yes. my heart's delight j
I've quit getting up anil hunting
After burglars in the night.
If it storm I lie and listen
To the drops' splash on t lie pane,
Never minding if the curtain
And the rug are soaked with ruin'.
In your absence I am getting
Gladly rested, sweetheart mine
You will hardly recognize me,
People say I look so fine.
Maggie has your sofa pillows
All in her room now, my dear
Yes, I miss you every moment,
I'm so free from bother here.

PcacUes fillers.
Whon setting out au apple orchard
for commercial purposes, trees should
be spaced thirty feet apart each way.
As fillers we may uso peach trees,
which are shoiter lived than apples,
lu many instances tho apple Is used
for fillers, but for quick returns the
peach Is preferable, as the apple Is a
slower grower. Tbe peach can till the
place for a number of years without
coming Into contact with the growth
of tbe apple. These peach trees, how
ever, should be closely pruned In order
not to check the development of the
npple trees. As the ienct is naturally
short lived, we may harvest niuuy good
cropa before removing tlieui. For coin
merclal apple growing we should plant
only the good keeping varieties, such as
York Imperial, Mammoth Black Twig
and Dutton. These apples will at all
times bring good pricesand the de
mand ls Increasing anuually. Not only
is the demand in the United States In
creasing, but Russia, Germany and
England are consuming Increasingly of
our American npples.-Iuland. Farmer.

you If you are, and the V.her "girls
bate you," But between a pedantic
prig and a well educated young wo
man there Is a vast, difference. The
really clever women are those who ills
guise their learning and pose as amia
