Laugh, if you will, at thoappateut
folly of seeing by wire, but in tho
midst of your mirth please do not for
get that our grandfathers laughed
just as heartily when there was rumor
of talking over wiios And, if anyone
had (ntimatcd that future generations
would even talk without the aid of
wires, over thousands of mllesof ocean,
grandad would have passed away with
a stroke of appoplexv superinduced by
congested laughter.
When it' Is remembered that the
voice" can be reproduced by mechanical
mejins, inasmuch as it is but a series
ofvibrations in the air; that vision is
but Hiiother kind of vibration iu the
ether, it looks as though seeing over
wires would be quite as simple as talk
lug over the telephone. The time may
come, and not so very far away either,
when we will pick up the telephone
aud not only talk with our friends,
hundreds of miles away, but see them
quite distinctly as well.
Electricity travels at nearly the
sauie speed as light, 180,000 miles a
second, and it is planned to change
the;light vibrations into eleotrical vi
brations, send them over the wire, and
then change them back into light vi
brations, which will be visible to the
naked eye. This is exactly what oc
cura in a telephone in a much simpler
way. The sound waves are changed
into electric waves, these electric war
es are flashed over a wire and the re
celrer clunges them back again into
sound waves with the aid of a delicate
magnet and a metal disk.
Prof. Rosing, of the Technological
Institute of St. Petersburg, has already
accomplished much in sending rays of
light over a wire with the assistance
of electricity The Rosing apparatus
is as yet in its Infancy, but very small
objects can be seen with it and it is
only reasonable to suppose that wlthlb
a short time we will be able to see a
person while speaking to him over the
telephone.

eminent land they are "free range'
for whoever may care to graze his
stock thereon. However, stock can
not Hie without water, and unless
watering places are available to a stock
owner it is impossible for him to utilize
the range.
Asa result of these conditions it
has come to be common practice in
some parts ot the West for a big cattle
or sheep outfit to obtain possession of
the few scattered water holes lu a cer
tain area and by this means to mon
opolize the grazing privilege, amost us
effectively as if actually .owned every
acre of the area. In uouscquenco the
small stock owner has been placed at
a serious disadvantage and in many
localities ,has been forced out of
business
This practical development of the
conservaut policy in order to prevent
monopolization of the public grazing
lands will not only insureequal oppor
tunity, under present conditions, but
it prepares the way for future legis
lation. Should Congress at any future
time decide to pass a gazing law the
retention of these watering places in
public ownership will make the enact
ment of a satisfactory law possible;
whereas if the water should pass Into
private hands the framing of a law
providing for the control of grazing on
the public domain would be useless,
because the law itself would be in
operative, The present action will really be
beneficial to both large ;and email
stock growers, although it will doubt
less not be pleasing to those who de
sire to exclude rivalB from the range

NEW KIND OF PUBLIC
LAND WITHDRAWAL.
Executive reera In AM eT Snail Stack
Nacre.
Withdrawal of public lands for Ube
rather than from use Is the latest price
of practical conservation. The Presl
dent, by Executive Order, under the
with drawal law has withdrawn from
entry many tracts of uuuppropilaten
public lands which contain springs or
small streams. These watering places
control tho public range over large
areas in Utah and Wyoming and tlie
withdrawal of these lands will in no
wise interfere with the use of the
springs or streams but will in 'fact in- j
sure the possibility of public use, Con
trol of watering places by strong prl
vnte interests aud the resultatiou
monopolization of gru.lng on tho
public domain are be-lieved to be
nrejtidiclal to public interest, and the
President regards tlie setting aside of
these watching place for publlo use as
serving a distinct and beneficial public
purpose, in harmony r.ot ouly with the
letter but with the spirit of the act of
