Artillery officers in the vicinity of New York who have use for wireless telegraphy are much interested in the prospect that a new system, cheaper lhan anything yet devised or constructed, will be turned out by the army signal corps. The Southern Artillery District of New York is the only district where wireless telegrapny is used to any extent, it being the practice to communi cate between the shore and the boats connected with the targets in the practice with big guns. It is found that it would be too expensive to extend the same system to all the artillery districts of the country in the hope of finding some means of ex changing messages between shore stations and boats off shore. The wireless telegraph systems so far presented are costiy. but it is hoped by using commercial material to get a system wnicn is not too expensive.

Adams Avenue and Greenwood J A STORY IN TITLES Some newspaper writer with plenty of time and a considerable degree of patience has patched up this amazing story of the titles of songs: " 'Bill Baily' and 'Whist ling Rufus' were taking 'Annie Laurie' and 'Nellie Gray' to their 'Old Kentucky Home 'After the Ball. Bill pulled a bunc of 'Blue Bells' that were growing 'Under ' the Bamboo Tree' in 'Dan Tucker's' yard. It was in the 'Good Old Summer Time' and the 'Mocking Bird' was singing the 'Golden Slipper.' As they were walking along they met 'Hiawatha' and the 'Little Alabama Coon,' who were 'Coming Through the Rye' singing 'Yankee Doodle . They were dressed in 'Blue and Gray.' Bill asked them if they had been 'Tent ing on the Old Camp Ground in Virginia' vi hereupon 'Hiawatha' stopped singing and said "No, we have been 'Marchins Through Georgia' with the ,Tw V&tle Girls in Blue,' 'Just as the Surf "font !V Down' and that the 'Old Folks at Home' were telling how the 'Arkansas Traveler' went 'Down on the Swanee River,' while 'The Girl They Loved in Sunny Tennessee' was 'Down Where the Cotton Blossoms Grow' singing -Dixie." Bill said he would have to be 'Climbine the Golden Stairs' for he wanted to go to the Georgia Camp Meeting' to have a 'Hot Time' 'Swinging 'Neath the Old Apple Tree' and dancing the 'Fisher's Hornpipe' with the 'Girl I Left Behind." He said he hoped to meet them in the 'Sweet Bye and Bye'' so he bade kind 'Good Night' hoping to see them once more before they 'Break the News Mother, sittinor in Th OIH A rm 'On the Banks of the Wabash Far A$ SPECIAL RATE The O.
