Amateur wireless opesators who break in on regular calls by commar- quickly identified, according to wire- sages and some out-of-town men have reputations for “beautiful sending” among Chicago operators. Wireless men say that the mere fact that wires have been oblitedated in their business makes no difference to the man at the receiving end. He can tell at once who is sending the message if he has heard from the same man before. “Only the other dey I received a message from a station on the lake which came from a familiar hand,” said a wireless operator. “I identified it at once as that of a friend I had known years before, but could not break in at that time without inter- rupting the message. As soon as he completed his work, however, I sent he was the man of my acquaintance. “Some of these amateurs who think they can fool the wireless will find themselves in a peck of trouble some | day for interfering with messages. It | is easy to become acquainted with | their ‘hand’ if they practice at all reg- ularly. If they play any jokes on an operator and sign fictitious names they may find out after all that they can- not disguise themselves. Their own way of sending, which differs for ev- ery individual, betrays them.” SIGNIFICANCE OF SOUTH POLE Science Will Weicome the Discovery 80 Long Looked For ward To. At least three branches of science, | it is hoped, will derive important bene- fits from the conquest of the south pole —meteorology, geography, and seismo- than any other result is to be, it is probable, the influence of of the discovery on meteorology. In no long time, as a conse quence of the weather maps based up- on the fuller knowledge of atmospher- fc currents in the Antarctic, doubtless brought by Scott and Amundsen, the prediction of the weather will be made a much more exact science. One of the results hoped for is the forecast- ing of the conditions of the mon- goons in India and averting thereby a vast amount of damage to property and loss of life. To work out the many observations sut to the other sciences and to report on the collections in detail must, as a writer in the London Times points out, be the work of years. It is already possible, however, to conjecture from the mass of expert information pub- lished here and abroad regarding Amundsen as well as Scott what are the outlines of a great section of the | globe of which only the fringe has | heretofore been touched by the ex- | plorer.—Current Literature. “Bluebird” Luncheon, Bluebird luncheons are one of the pretty fancies of the spring, and Mrs. Edward McLean recently extended such a courtesy to Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry, who was visiting her mother, Mrs. Richard Townsend of Washing- ton. Bluebirds of exquisite plumage fluttered about on wires which were gently swayed by an electric current, and many others were plaged on the handle of a mammoth basket of vio- lets. Each place card had a minia- ture bird in genuine feathers, the ar- tistic work of the Mexicans, and the suggestion was further carried out by bread, milk, sugar and gther charac- mrs in Maeterlinck’s exquisite play, being decked in flowers and blue gauze and placed at intervals on the daintily epread board. Bluebird lunch- eons may be given on less expensive lines by having birds of blue velvet and flowers of the spring, jonquils or tulips, and pretty place cards on which the symbolic bird of happiness is painted.—New York Press. Nations Brought Closer. We have already spoken of the new telephone cable which is laid across the channel, so as to connect France with England, this being designed on the Pupin system, so that speech is very clear and the various provinces of England can now have connection with Paris. Recent news states that connection can now be made from London to Switzerland in a practical way for the first time, so that con- versations can be held between Lon- don and Geneva by way of Paris and NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY The Edwin Booth That His Rec- tor Knew. Famous Actor was a Regular Attend. ant at Church and Delighted in Sunday Afterncon Frolics with Children. By E. J. EDWARDS. At the time of his retirement about the middle of the closing decade of the last century, the late Rev. B. M. arrington, for 62 years rector of the Episcopal church in Greenwich, Conn., was the oldest rector of his denomina- tion in coatinuous service in one church. Many were the interesting reminiscences that he told me of his long service, during which he came to know well many prominent men and women: but none of his stories inter ested me so much as the one in which he told one of the Edwin Booth that the great actor's rector learned to know. “It was while Booth was playing Shakespearian characters in the Win- ter Garden in New York city in the early sixties—about 1863, I should say wd | —that he built a cottage near the vil- lage of Greenwich, close to the mouth of the Mianus river, and there spent the summer months,” said Mr. Yar rington. “Not long after he had first occupied the cottage, he called upon me, saying that he was anxious to be- come a member of my parish and that whenever he was at home he expected | to attend church services. “Are you a communicant? I asked him. “sYes,' was the reply, ‘1 was con- firmed years ago, and have never failed, if I were anywhere within con- venient reach of a church, to attend services and to communicate if I were present at the time of the administer- ing of the sacrament.’ “Mr. Booth attended services regu- larly,” continued Mr. Yarrington, “and frequently waited after the service un- til 1 had removed my vestments and then chatted with me, and I became deeply impressed by his deep religious sentiments. So, too, did many of the congregation, and nearly every Sun- day Mr Booth was invited to spend part of the day in the home of some of them. I noticed that he always ap- peared particularly delighted when he was to visit where there were children, and one day I made bold to speak to him about this. “Ah, Mr. Yarrington,’ he said, ‘I am very fond of frolicking with chil- dren; I am especially fond of the Sunday afternoons I spend with the children here. I look forward to be- ing with them, each week day; my as- sociation with them refreshes me. I am sure that it enables me to get a clearer insight into the meanings that are in Shakespeare's characters.’ “He paused a moment, and then went on: “ ‘Prayer, meditation, the beautiful ritual and music of our church, par- ticipating in the sacrament—all this uplifts me, gives me a deeper insight into the real meaning of religious life. And then if I can only spend my Sun- day afternoons with the children, my cup of happiness is full. For I never pass an hour or two with these little ones without being more and more fmpressed with the profound and beautiful truths that are in the say- ing of our Lord: “Suffer little chil- dren to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."'"

At a restaurant near the postoffice where every guest is his own waiter two men occupied adjoining chairs, and when they had finished their fru- gal meal each one took what he sup- posed to be his umbrella from behind his chair, paid the cashier and de- parted at doors at opposite ends of the place, says the New York Tribune. A few minutes later one reappeared and told the cashier that some one FINE JOB PRINTING oA SPECIALTY—o0 WATCHMAN OFFICE There Cheapes: “Dodges” to the Bnet” BOOK WORK, that we car: not do in a Lenn: Insurance.
