MOTIVE POWER BI WIRELESS
With all the imagination and bold
ness of the young Kalian who brought
oul wireless telegraphy, it is cloubtfui
if he realized the pcssibUlties of the
princip'o;? he discovered. He has been
content, himself, to labor with the
transmission of messages through ibe
ether.
rfut others, says the Cleveland Lead
er, recognizeci that a great law, a groat
force, bad been placed within the hands
of m-> 'o control. They have been
qu'e'ly experimenting, as is the way of
ir.ventcrs, acd now two of these inves
tigators bave succeeded in using the
wireless wave as a motive power.
They are Dr. Frederick H. Millener
and W. IV McKeen, Jr., both western
ers.
In the yards of the Union Pacific's
O mailt shops they have constructed a
power truck, capable of hauling at a
speed of ten miles an hour a losd of ten
toot, ou its owu frame, and of hauling
an equal load on each of ten or twelve
trailing errs. From a central spot the
electrical *av>.s are shot forth. They
are picked up by the truck whenever
it is necessary for the car to move
about the yards. The train moves
along until its destination is reached
and there a switch breaks the connec
tion, the waves are stopped, and the
train promptly baits.
From a mere experimental truck,
which successfully employs wireless
cu rents, it is easy to conceive of the
application of the force to all yard
worn. It will be possible to eliminate
the pres ut t> pe of switch engine, man
ufacturing its own motive power at a
hixh cost and with a heavy waste.
Furthermore in the movement to keep
coal-turning locomotives out of the
c ties, freight and passenger trains
may be taken charge of by motors em
ploviog wirelpss waves.
These are only preliminary steps,
that is clear. The imagination need
strain itself but little to fancy the dis
placement of all steam locomotives on
railroads, the motivv force oeing ap
plied from towers, at frequent ioter
vals. Whether the trolly wireless would
g<>, and the third rail, the prophet mav,
perhaps, be dipping too far into the
future, if he tries to decide. That they
c uld go is certainly a possibility.

to bo cured of s'eep-walklng. Whilo
under observation there she habitually
left her bed after three or four hour*
?leep and busied horse! f In various
ways, Including descending into the
music room and playing the piano, tun
ing a violin, ard fitting new strings to
it and crocheting. Her most remark
able fea'.s, however, were reading and
writing In the dark. If even there was
a faint artificial light in the room she
would avoid it, and go to tl e darkest
corner, whete she would rend various
books, study the theory of harmony and
write letters. Ono of her letters was
addressed to her music teacher. It
contained a short essay ou the 'Conata
Form,' which was accurate in sense and
construction. Another letter she wrote
was in German. When site was awake
she did not in the I&ist remember writ
log or reading. An examination of her
eyes did not reveal the reason for her
being able to see in the dark. She has
now left the hospital, her condition
having improved, but she occasionally
walks in her sleep."
The nomination of Mr. C'ale by the
republ.can convention has been endors
ed at, Fairbanks, ''irrespective of
party," and an organization formed
there. It looks like another "whirl
wind campaign," made, not by Mr.
Cale, but by his friends.
With a close compact with Japtn and
tied up in a triple alliance of which
Russia is one and Japan is not the
other, England will be in position to
serve as a friend to both houses? with
guns to bick up ber good offices.
Are we to understand that the vice
presidency is worth a million to Mr.
Hammond and that he is willing to
make the purchase ?

OLD CASTLE KERN
(One visitor Co Peter's summer resort
on the hill, has boen moved to poetry,
which, under the title as above has been
submitted for publication as "rrspect
full dedicated to P. E. Kara by D. C.
Pooler."? Ed.)
I've been through the Alps and have
marveled
At nature and her wonderful ways,
The Grand Canon filled me with wonder
As I (razed on Its grandeur for d<iys;
But the spot that sticks to my memory
As a haven of forest and fern,
On a cliff towards the summit of Dewey
The place known as old Kastle Keru.
As free from the ni>ise of the city,
As a child is free from care,
And as soothing to the nerves and body,
As a breath of the real virgin air.
The sunshine seems to hesitate,
And down the western sky,
It lingers long in saying,
Its every day good bye.
As I stood on the bridge of K?stlo Kern,
I gazed at a wouderous sight,
And I jotted it down 1 j my memory,
As the sun that kissed midnight.
A light breeze blew from Lynn canal,
And to harmonize It all,
The tree tops murmured merrily,
With the rush of the waterfall.
A verticle sea of wbltecaps,
Poamrd past the bridge and Chateau,
Singing good bye to Ml. Dewey,
As they dashed to the seas below.
I yearned for the world to behold it,
This picture engraved in my mind,
The midnight sun on the mountains,
And the whitecaps seeking their goal.
? Respectfully dedicated to P. Kern
by D. C. Pooler.
