Yet he was the first man in the world to transâ€" mit telegraphic signals through #pace rac y t _‘ Many of the world‘s great inven|, tions began in the dreams of on |, man, who first did his part toward the realization of it and passed | ¢ away.

Theâ€" Scientric| American makes this;very point in | commenting on the decision of the | United States cireuit court of ap ; peals, which recently answered the question : Who invented the flying machine ! The work of piongers in air flight is cited and attention directed â€"to the fact thatâ€"and this is the pivotâ€" al point of successâ€"the Wrights were the first to recognize the neâ€" cessity of using the vertical rudder ‘$in connection with the wingâ€"warpâ€" ing mechanism, in order to prevent |\the skidding of the aeroplane in c straightaway flight. | _ "Slight as that discovery seems, |it made success possible where only t'failure was encountered before.

When Wilkins was only 18 years old he was apâ€" pointed superintendent of the Northampton and Petersborough telegraphs. 8o capable was he that F C a id Do ce a few months later he superintendent of the 1i had been extended from Fleetwood and from Rug castle. It was at this time that he experiâ€". mented with induction telegraphy and succeeded in sending messages from one wire to another 120 feet away. It is true that his system had nothing to do with wirelesa telegraphy as we know it, in which Hertzian waves are employed, but it did mark the first attempt at space telegraphy, and he did déâ€" monstrate that such an achievement was possible. R # .

Had Wilâ€" kins continued his work who knows to what a stage he might have brought it! But, unfortunately, he ceased his activities in telegraphy shortly after visiting the â€" United States in 1851, and turned to enâ€" gineering work. And yet in that first demonstration, as his signals flashed through the 120 feet of space that intervened between the two wires, ‘ he might have _ vaguely lglimpscd the magnificent future of which his experiment was only an huimble earnest!

Miss Gracs Ellison, the wellâ€" known writer on Turkish women, has juatAre@u.mec_l to England fro:n Girmindint Leainfadrt /sn‘ o xb is t 6 a second visit of several months|, spent in the household of l%i,p,mil : Pasha‘s daughter at Constantiâ€" nople, where she had an opportunâ€" 5 ity, perhaps never hitherto accordâ€"| , ed to any English woman, of veiwâ€"| , ing a Turkish woman‘s life from|, the inner side. She shared the daily |, life of her friends, took part in their formal customs and gatherings, visâ€"|] ited the Sultan‘s harem during the | ; feast of Bairam, met the most adâ€"|â€" vanced women in the country, and | studied the one Turkish women‘s paper, a week‘!ly illustrated, which publishes feminist articles ard is widely read by the middle classos. Speaking of the progress accomâ€" plished by Turkish women in recent years, Miss Ellison said she nuticed‘ a great difference in the position of women since her last visit, a differâ€" ence they themselves were hardly eonscious of it, and it seemed to her that every day now they made a step forward. It is a time of rapid transition, the beginning of perfectâ€" ly new conditions. The determination arrived at by the Government recently to admit | women to the university is of imâ€" | mense importance, and, although it | is probable that few will at first |take advantage of the open door, | the fact that it has been opened |alters the status of Turkish women. || At first, probably, there will be no thought of degree examinationsâ€" ‘\the women are not yet ready for : | thatâ€"and the courses specially arâ€" â€"| ranged for women on domestic 1| science, hygiene, gynaecology and »"the position of women will be after * | the style of our extension lectures.

Old Traditions Die Slowly. It is difficult,for the Western woâ€" man to realize what tiny steps conâ€" stitute a great advance in that country, where the granting of perâ€" mission for women to walk unveiled] will mark a greater stage in their progress than the enfranchisement of women will do in England.

A unique experiment now in proâ€" gress in the vicinity of Ban Antonio, Tex., seems to indicate that the bat has a mission of the first importance in its relation to the health of man. A wellâ€"known physician of the city named, knowing that the mosquito is a favorite item on the bat menu, has constructed a ‘"belfry‘‘ near & swamp where mosquitoes u‘_bound: o _ It hJfiMQOden building, with findows windows so fashioned so fashioned as to permit the bats to come and go at will and yet exclude the light as far as possible. It proves to be exactly to their liking, and, attracted by its evident adâ€" adptability to their needs, as well as by its location so near to &n abundant food supply, they have ocâ€" cupied it in large numbers.' o gk BAT ISs FOE OF* MOSQUITO. The result has far exceeded the hopes of the author of the experi-] ment. Mosquitoes have already alâ€" mot disappeared from the neighâ€" borhood, and malaria, once 4A scourge, is now practically unâ€" known. At the same time, the nuâ€" merous conveniences of the "belâ€" fry‘"‘ are certain to make it a perâ€" manent abiding place for the bat population, thus assuring freedom from mosquitoes and consequent \immunity from mosquitoâ€"bred «dlisâ€" eases indefinitely. _ $ It is not only a cheap system ol sanitation, but one that promises permanent effectiveness. Its origâ€" inator commends it for general use in all communities which prefer bats to mosquitos, and suggests to neryâ€" ous folks that bats really aren‘t yery unpleasant creaturesâ€"when once one becomes habituated to ghem. & ts The recent triumphs in bacteriâ€"| C ology lead science to hope that a|* new era in preventive medicine ii‘ beginning to dawn. It has long|| been known that microbes war|l again:t each other, some of the |f most deadly of them falling a prey | « to others, which have no harmful | i effect upon the human m‘ganism;u but it is only very recen{ly that the '| possibility of breeding them, so as‘| to lessen or destroy their pathoâ€"|| genic properties, has dawned. ‘ Pasteur ?elgl that no change in the form of bacteria ‘was likely.

But round the curve came someâ€" thing that the children had never seen beforeâ€"a little car, just big enough to hold two men, whose backs were moving up and down, up and down, as if they wore bowing to each other. As the car went by, the children saw that between the two men was a bar that first one pushed and then the other; and that as it went down on one side it went up on the other, and that that was what made the car go. "It must be great fun!"* said Paul. But Dorothy thought that in stead of being fun, it must be hard | work. * $ yhage WOIRY "It is both work and fun,‘"‘ said their father, "for the right kind of work is the best fun in the world." And he told them that the men, goâ€" ing up and down the track every day, were all the time watching to soe that there were no broken rails or loose ties, and that tzus they helped _ to guard again train wrecks.

But there was one place in the factory that they found it hard to fill. They wanted two men 10 move a big wheel back and forth, without ever stopping. Of course it was very hard work, but the wiso men said, ‘Brass is hard and 'strong. and we will iry men «f brass.‘ ‘ & o t cent "‘The men of brass worked as 77 as they could,, but it was too hard for them, and sooner or later they grow tired and wore out, and the wise men had to get some one 10 take their place: & ‘Steel is stronger and harder than brass,‘ they said, and «o thoy L oA en "¢ stret: but they Soukd "" ‘Wteel is SLrON&gCT UA PAMT M"C than brass,‘ they said, and «o thoy tried men of steel; but they louwrnd in time that not even they could d+ the work, but had to stop.
