TELEGRAMS WITHOUT WIRES. Machine That Transmits and Beceivea in Writing Messages from i. a Distance. The zeragraph Is the name bestowed upon a new mechanical and electrical de vice by mean of which messages by wireless telegraph" may be sent or re ceived and typewritten copies taken au tomatically. It is not a yankee notion, but the invention of an Englishman, says a scientific exchange. In appear ance it resembles an ordinary typewriter, but it is of simpler construction, with a keyboard figured with the signs of the letters and numerals, which can be printed or telegraphed to any number of instruments. Each in&trument, the in ventor explains, 1b at once a receiver and a transmitter, enabling operators to con verse with one another in writing, and thus obviating minunderstandings, which are apt to occur in telephonic com munications. So far messages have been sent only for a short distance, but it is intended to experiment over , wider spaces, and it is hoped! that messages can be sent to any distance that either waves will carry. The machine is always ready for immedaite use, and as there is no mechanism which requires to be wound up in order to obtain synchron ism, the operator has both hands free for manipulation. Another advantage claimed for the invention will be of especial importance in military affairs. Messages cannot be picked up. To quote the inventor's own words: "In sending a message you are sending two ether waves which allow you a choice of 56 signs, and these are given direct print either as letters or figures. Absolute secrecy is thus ob tained. The omly way to intercept mes sages would be to employ a similar in strument, which would have to be syn chronized tothe same degree as the transmitting instrument. Lastly, these machines will receive their messages (which are riven zt present at a speed of 25 words b, minute) wltbcit anybody be ing present, and would thus bsof great advantage in a signal box, as the signal man will receive clearly printed ir.simc tions should he be absent at the time the message is sent to him. Nor will the ma chine work only without wires. I gava a lecture in Paris before the Society of Civil Engineers of which I am a member, during which I sect messages to Brus sels while telephonic communication was going on over the same wires. I have sent messages also between Ber lin and Frankfort." The apparatus consists of a typewriter which by depressing a key sends two im pulses. Each letter only requires two impulses, and the different letters are ob tained by mJi8 of the time interval be tween those impulses. For wireless pur poses these impulses operate a switch oor.nectlo-i with The induction ceil, thus making the sparks for sending the ether waves. The induction coil is connected with an aerial as well as an earth wire. To turn the appartus into a receiving instrument it is only necessary to move a switch which is placed beneath the typewriter. This makes all the con nections to the receiving apparatus, which consists of a coherer and a very sensitive relay. DitcoYery of a Remarkable Phenom enon by a Scientist.

Throe Million Francs Is the Cost of a Place Among the Seventy on the Bourse. It may be said that a seat among the seventy (they call it a charge) costs about 3,000.000 francs ($600,000) or sometimes 2,500,000, and a charge earns from 5 to 15 per cent, (net) a year, so that the annual profits are from $30,000 to $90,000, or more in ex ceptional years, write Cleveland Mof fett in "The Paris Bourse" in Cen tury. But these are usually divided among several associates, for it rare ly happens that an agent is the sole owner of his seat More often he has paid for only half of it, or a third of ii, and has throe or four silent part ners who own the rest and who may again have s.ibpartners, so that you will hear of a person owning an eighth or a sixteenth cf a seat, or even a thirty-second, the so being simple invest ments that carry no rights or privi leges on the bourse. As to procuring a charge, the thing has none of the stock exchange sim plicity, where the main requirement for getting a seat is to be able to pay for It. Here a candidate must be a Frenchman and at least 25 years old. He must have served four years in cer tain forms of business. He must be personally acceptable to the agent from whom he would purchase the seat, and often to his family, includ ing the ladies. He must be passed upon by the seventy with formal vot ing, as If he ware Joining some select club, which he Is. There must be v stain on his business record, and no slur on his personal character. A candidate was rejected recently for bad habits, and another for no fault of his own. but because his brother had been concerned in questionable transactions. With all this favorably settled, there is still needed the approval of the min ister of finances and the sanction of the president. This makes it clear enough why many of the ablest dealers on the bourse have not been members of the parquet, but of the coulisse. They could not get into the parquet It has been the dream of poets that some subtle, sympathetic relation ex ists between tones and colors; that the harmonizing of one and the artistic blending of the others appeal to the same sense of the beautiful; that sweet sounds and pleasing color effects are very much akin. It has re mained for a Philadelphia professor to trace this phantasy to its source; to materialize the vague impressions of dreamers and to reduce them to a mat ter of science, says the New York Her ald. It has long been common knowl edge that our conception of both musi cal tones and colors is due to the effect of vibrating waves of movement, but it is something new to learn that there is a close and exact sympathetic rela tionship between the notes of the scale and the colors of the spectrum; that the same system oi nature governs each and that discords arise in ill matched hut-s from infringement of the same rules w hich govern the com bination of sounds according to the science we cnil hrumony. It is amazing to learn that the seven colors of the rainbow exactly corre spond with the seven notes of the gamut, and that red, being the domi nant, has to the other colors the same comparative refrangibility, or "wave lines," as the dominant in any chord has to the other notes in the scale. It will blend artistically and pleasingly only with such colors as represent notes which in music may be harmon iously used with the dominant. It is claimed by the discoverer of this phenomenon in science, and he has devoted the last 20 years to the study of relationship between tone and color, that the rays of light which pro duce red, at the base of the spectrum, correspond exactly with sound waves responsible for "do," the keynote at the base of the tonic scale. Orange corresponds with "re," yellow with "mi," green with "fa," blue with "sol," purple with "la" and violet with "si." Before scientific experiments and re search established these fact-s, argues the professor, impressionists, poets and painters felt this close union be tween tone and color. ArtistR knew that a warm splash of red, giving an impression of prominence and near ness to the eve, would dominate the whole picture. "Do." the tonic in music, is recognized as the centripetal' force. Opposite in effect is the cool, limpid blue, which is in acrrpement with "sol," the clear, rinarinu" "fifth" of th? scale, the tone of eentrifupnl force, while midway and in perr. harmony is "mi," the yellow, the e. 1. hut un obtrusive "third" of the tvpW. These three colors combined form a most pleasintr group, while the correspond ing tones form the tonic chord, the basis of all harmony. This remarkable science, or theory, whichever it may properly be called, has been put to practical purpose in the arlh 'ic and. musical i'.nining of Hi tie cl.iii'rcn, nt nn age when their minds arc e!;;'t'cial'y susceptible to im pressions of sweel pouiiiIr aiul bright colors, when the intelligence is mainly working through the medium of their sen Be.

Finest Liquors and Cigars Pendleton Beer on Draught fiot and Cold Lunches Heppner, Or. A good story is being told at the ex pense of an undergraduate at on of our varsities. He was attending the chemical lectures of a certain distin guished, if not popular, professor, wko had announced for his next lecture car tain experiments with laughine-sra. The student, who knew that persons under the influence of laughing-gas were not responsible for their words or actions, saw an opportunity of tell ing the professor boom home-truths with impunity. On the afternoon of the lecture the professor called for a volunteer for the experiments to be made, and our under-graduate prompt ly erne to bis assistance, to the amusement of the class, which had been taken into his confidence. The bag containing the hilarious gas was duly affixed to the student's mouth, and ho commenced to inhale vigorous ly. The effect was magical, relates Loudon Tit-Bits. The student began to abuse tbe professor in terms wh'ch are unknown In Sunday schools. The professcr int a paient ear to this testimony to his character, and then, turning to the class, said, with the suspicion of a twinkle in his eye: "You see, gentlemen, how powerful this gas is, when even the anticipation of it produces such strange effects. I will now proceed to turn on the gas." Trade Rrlntlnna with Mail. The United States leads in furnishing both the machinery and the raw ma terial for the new industrial develop ment in Mexico. The exports, outside of metals, amounted to $69,721,730 in gold, of which the United States took 81 per cent., while all Europe took but Morrow County, Oregon. Morrow Connty is a new country, and like alL other new countries, is awaiting development. Located in tbe Columbia river valley, and ekirted on tbe Booth with a spur of the Bine moan- v. ithir. tbe boundaries of Morrow county is a territory 75 miles in length by 35 miles in width, r.ci containing 1,313,280 ecre of land. Formerly stockreising was the pnncipol industry, but lat ely the fertility of tbe land is bringing agrioalture o the front. Immense wheat crops are grown with iittls caltivation, the soil being mixed with a volcanic ash which is very rich in wheat-producing qualities. The 1904 orop will aggregate 1,400,000 bushels, much of it from virgin soil. Morrow county has thousands of head of sheep, horses and oattle. The wool prodootien for 1904 was 2,500,000 pounds. Alfalfa and frait growing are profitable indastries, rapidly growing in importance. The county has also a great ooal field, soon to be developed.
