VISION
Af'flvMWW "Ttjfci I At
ly ho exhibited an articlo published
In tho Electrical World olovon years
ago, In which ho predicted not only
wlrolcss tolophony on a commercial
basis but that it would bo possible to
ldontlfy tho volco of nn acquaintance
over any dlstnnco. That Its operator In
Hawaii was nble to distinguish tho
volco of an engineer friend at Arling
ton, Va., was announced by tho Amer
ican Tolophono and Telegraph com
pany ns tho most marked triumph of
Its communication by wireless telo-,
phono from tho naval radio station at
Arlington to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, a
dlstanco of 4,000 miles.
Tho Inventor, who haB won fame by
his electrical inventions, dictated this
statement:
"Tho oxpertfl carrying out this bril
liant oxporlmont aro naturally de
serving of great credit for tho skill
they havo shown In perfecting tho de
vices. TIicbo aro of two kinds: First,
thoso sorvlng to control transmission,
and, second, thoso magnifying tho ro
eolved Impulse. That tho control of
trannml8stou Is porfect Is plain to ex
ports from tho fact that tho Arlington,
Mare Island, and Penrl Harbor plants
aro all Inefficient and that tho dls
tanco of telephonic communication is
oqunl to that of telegraphic transmis
sion. It Is also perfectly apparent that
tho chief merit of tho application Ilea
In tho magnification of tho micro
phonic Impulso. It must not bo Imag
ined that wo deal hero with now dis
coveries. Tho Improvement simply
concoms tho control of tho transmit
ted and tho magnification of tho re
ceived Impulso, but tho wlccloss sys
torn Is tho name. This can nover be
changed.
"Thnt it Is practicable to project tho
human volco not only to a dlstanco of
5,000 miles, but cloar across tho globo,
I domonstrntod by experiments In
Colorado-In 1889. It Is claimed that
static disturbance will fatally Inter
fere with tho transmission, while, as a
matter of fact, thoro Is no static dis
turbance posslblo In proporly doslgnod
transmission nnd receiving circuits.
Quito recently I hnvo described, In a
patent, circuits which aro absolutely
Immuno to static and othor Interfer
ences so much so that when a tele
phono Is attached, thoro Is absolute
sllonco, oven lightning In tho Immedi
ate vicinity not producing n click or
tho diaphragm, whllo In tho ordlnnry
tolophonlc conversation thoro aro all
kinds or noises. Transmission with
out static interference has many won
derful proportlcs besides, first of which
Is that unlimited amounts of power
can bo transmuted with very small
loss.
"Anothor contention Is thnt thero
can bo no secrecy In wlrolnas toln-
phono conversation. I say It Is absurd
to rniso tins contention, whnn it in
positively demonstrated by experi
ments mat tho earth Is more suitable
for transmission than anv wirn rnniii
over bo. A wlrolcss tolophono conver
sation can be mado ns socrot as a
thought.
"It's all a wondorful thing. Wlroloss
Is comliiK to mankind in ltn full
Ing like a hurrlcnno somo of thoao
nays, bomo day thoro will bo, say, six
great vvireless telephone Btationa In a
world system connecting nil tho In
habitants of this earth to onn nnnthnr
not only by volco but by sight. It's

Went Down In Gale in Bahama Sixty
Six Years Ago Clings to Rigging
for Five Days and
Nights.
Blnckwell, Okla. Tho only survivor
of the wreck of tho bark Egypt 00
years ago Is visiting relatives In Kay
county, nnd celebrated tho anniver
sary of what was known to him as
the most tcrriblo week ho has spent
In his cighty-nlno years on this earth.
Sheridan Is yet a halo and hearty
old "sea dog" and his tale of tha ad
venture many years ago In which prac
tically the whole crow of tho bark
wero drowned and the remaining 13
como near meeting a much worse
death was told by him In this fashion:
"It was nlxty-slx years ago this sum
mer that tho old bark Egypt put out
from Portland, Mo., with a cargo of
lumbor nnd a few weeks later utruck
a real northwester whllo In the gulf
stream near tho Hanks of Dahama.
A happy outfit wo woro, all full of life.
"On tho evening of September G a
storm struck us and for six hours wo
battled that galo In a terrific fight.
Finally, however, tho bark turned
over. Tho masts and rigging woro left
nlloat, and to theso thoso of us that
woro loft mado. Whon wo counted up
tho next day, thoro woro thirteen of
us.
"Without food, without a drop of
fresh water, suffering lntensoly from
tho semltroplcnl raldsummor sun by
day and from tho cold nt night, half-
famished and nearly crazed from
thirst, wo clung to tho rigging of that
half-submerged vessel for flvo days
and nights.
"Time after tlmo I was In tho no
tion of letting go nnd ending tho tor-
turo in tho cool deep of tho sea, but
each tlmo tho lovo of life was too
great, and I held on in tho hope that
somo timo boforo my mind left mo,
which Is tho usual ending of those
cast out in that way, wo might bo
rescued by a passing boat.
On tho evening of tho fifth day n
sailing vessel bound for Now York
sighted us an hour after wo had seen
It. That was tho longest hour of my
Hfo, Tor I was nfrald that thoy would
go right on by without seeing us.' Wo
quickly revived, but tho memory of
thoso times will bo vivid always."

REQUISITES OF GOOD HORSE
Well-Bred Mare Is Splendid Invest
ment for Any Farmer Get Colts
Only From Best Stock.
(By W. U. OILIIHHT.)
Nowadays farmers are beginning to
awaken to tho fact that it takes strong
horses to do good work on tho farm.
Tho fact that almost any horse can
bo mado to do something at fr.rni work
Is no valid excuse for men who pro
fess to havo their own Interests at
heart to persist In breeding horses

that nobody wants, not even them
selves.
In tho fields a big team makes hasto
by tho width of tho furrow or Bwath
they cut.
There is pleasure and inspiration In
tho business of breeding and handling
high-class horses.
Bear in mind in breeding horses that
it is Just as essential to breed good
feet on to them as to get weight and
blood in them. .
Tho purebred maro Is a good invest
ment to tho small farmer, and if he
will allow hor to share tho work of
tho placo she will do nearly as much
work as a gelding, and raise a good
colt besides.
A well-bred maro bred to a stallion
of best typo will bring a colt worth as
much at weaning time ns a grade colt
would bring at maturity, sometimes a
lot more.
UNLOADING CHUTE FOR STOCK
Device Patented by Illinois' Man Is Es
pecially Good for Hogs May Be
Moved Easily.
Handling of Hvo stock, especially
hogs that aro ready for market, Is oft
times cruel and a cause of real finan
cial loss to the shipper because of
lack of unloading facilities at tho local
stock yards. An Illinois farmer has
patented tho unloading chute Bhown
here. It Is strong and yet light enough
to bo moved freely about so that hogs
may be unloaded from tho wagon on to
tho level ground. Cleats prevent slip
ping of an animal that Is coming down
tho chute, thus reducing tho possibili
ties of broken legs and bruises. The
chute may bo folded up and carried on

ness farmers everywhere. Farming

DRENCHING DROVE OF HOGS
Best Way Is to Drive Animals Into
Pen Where They Will Have But
Little Room to Move In.
Tho quickest nnd easiest way to
drench a drovo of hogs is to drive
thorn Into a small pen where thoy will
have but little room to movo about.
To hold tho animal whllo drenching
it a noo80 of sash cord or quartor
inch ropo can bo placed around tho
upper JaWf woll back toward tho
angles of tho lips, and tho mcdicino
thrown Into tho back part of tho
mouth with a doso syringe. As there
Is dnnger of a hog breaking a syringe
it is host to uso a metal one. Some
times whou the drench is bulky and
tho hog hard to hold, It is necessary
to elevate tho head and raise tho fore
foot off the ground. For this purposo
a pulloy and ropo wlro stretcher Is
rocommended. It should bo hung in
tho most convenient part of tho pen
I and the animal secured in tho usual
way by placing a nooso around tho
Jaw. Tho end of tho ropo Is thrown
, over tho hook In tho lowor pulloy and
tho hog drawn up until it Is almost
off tho floor. It Is best to wait till
tho hog has becomo quiet, well under
control, boforo giving it. tho drench,
ns thoro Is somo dnnger of tho medi
cine gottlng Into tho air passages nnd
doing harm.
For Fattening Sheep.
Peas nro strongly recommonded for
fattening sheep. When fed in combi
nation with either corn, barloy or oats,
equal parts, bettor gains are mado
than when olthoi of tho abovo cereals
Is fed alone. This Is especially true
whoro timothy hay or com stover Is
fed as a roughage.
