These Itfoons have been prepared for The Oreconlan's Home Study Circle by Prof. Behno Klrachbaum, of Philadelphia. They axe Intended primarily for Americana who propose attending the Paris Exposition. Theae lessons will Include (1) common French words and pnrasef", C-) asy conversation and (3) simple reaains leasona. CtSU-tt3iB LECON. LESSON XO. 2. Hints ob Prar.ttaelKttea. 1. The student has seen In tbs preceding tttseon that many letters of the French alphabet are like tho English. The chief difficulty of the French prcmuncUtlon Is con fined to the sounds e, eu tnd the nasals. It would, therefore, eeetn best to familiarize oneself with these vowels as soon as possi ble. To effect this successfully they should be gone over and rehearsed dally for some time, first singlyviz.. , eti, an, in, on, m and then united to the other letters, using for that purpose the words of the exercises and phrases as they "will appear in the lesson viz.. lundt, meroredl. prlntempe, jcudi. dens, premier, dernier, etc.; lang-dfte-, malr-cre-dee, prang-tong, jua-dee, duh, prem-ee-ay, dare-nee-ay. 2. Among the consonants, are two requir ing special attention, soft b and . which ooght both to be pronounced llko z in azure; the soft g is always followed by t or e; other wise It la hard. 3. The final a Js generally tsute in French; St is blended with the following vowel, then lt'fiounds like c See Jesson 1. 4. There aro three .accents in French. (1) Aigu. ay-gu O, a mark from tho right to the left over ev as t6: (2) grave, grahv (), amark from tbe left to tbo right Over the letters o. e, u (a, o, 0), as pere; (3 clrcoBflere, ceqr-kobn-ficx (), a double mark composed of the former two. over the letters . e. i, o, u. (a, 6. 1, 0. 0). as tete. 5. Another important mark Is the so called "cedllle," eay-dee-y (,), which Is placed under the c (c) before the vowels o. b. a, thus making the sound of e like that of a via,, recu. ro-suh. No cMlllo is required before i or c. 6. The "tralt-d'unlon mark, tral-doonyon t-) connects ono wortf. Byllable or letter with another via.: Voulez-vous mo donner un tlmbre-poste?

RECENT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES. (Copyright, 1900, by Note. These papers on practical science have bn prepared for The Oresonlan's Home Study Circle by Prof. "William. J. Hopkins, of Drcxel Institute. IL WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY. Tho Idea of sending messages from one point to another without the use of con necting wires has always been fascinating since the first practical telegraph. It can be accomplished In a variety of ways, but all methods fall naturally Into two classes. The first Includes all those meth ods in which tho transmission of the sig nal Is effected by "leakage" of electric currents from the transmitting apparatus to the receiving end. through the earth or the water. The second class embraces all methods In which the transmission Is by waves traveling through the remarkable "ether" which is conceived to fill all space. Just as those waves travel which produce the sensation of light. In any method yet known wires must be used at both the transmitting and the re ceiving end. so that there is no telegraphy yet. which is absolutely "wireless." "Wire less telegraphy, as now understood, how ever, employs no line wires, such as are necessary in ordinary telegraphy to con nect the transmitter and the receiver. Transmission through the earth or wat--er without wires has been accomplished manj times. The earth is full of wander ing currents which need only a sensitive detector like the telephone to become evi dent. Indeed, the difficulty Is to prevent any currents which have access to earth from wandering and to keep them in the paths marked out for them. "Without enumerating tho attempts which have been made in this direction during the last half century or more, a c ft 5 -:: The Leakoec Method. single example will be sufficient to make the matter clear. Some years ago Trow bridge found that the time signals from a clock in the observatory in Cambridge could be distinguished four miles from the line conveying the signals to Boston. A telephone receiver was used as a detector In a line about 50 feet long, the ends of the line being grounded by means of rods which were stuck Into the earth. The current had spread out to this extent be tween the earth plates in Cambridge and Boston, assisted, probably, by the water mains and the water in the soil. On this principle It was proposed that ships at sea should communicate, a strong current from a dynamo being sent Into ths sea through a trailing wire, and the cur rent detected by a telephone connected to ft similar wire trailing from another ship.

It was even suggested that communica tion could be established across the At lantic by pending a strong current through a wirefMnnlng the length of the Ameri can Coiitinent and connecting the ends of the lie to the ocean. A telephone line running from England to Liberia would pick up enough current to make the sig nals distinguishable. To understand the operation of the sec ond method it will be best to consider the action of waves of a similar character. When a wave progresses over, the sur fact of water. It Is not by the onward mo tion of the water Itself. Each particle ot water oscillates up and down, communi cating Its motion to the next and In this way causing the wave form to travel on ward until It breaks upon the shore or Is smothered out by the friction In the water iteelf. In Just this way a wave passes over a field of standing grain. Each stalk keeps Its place, but the wave form moves onward. A wave may be made to travel a rope or a long spiral spring: In fact. in any substance which, for any reason, tends to resume its original shape or vol. ume. A sound-producing wave in air Is of much the same character, although the motion of the air particles Is to and fro along the direction of motion of the wave instead of across It; for air has elasticity of volume but not of shape. These air waves are ordinarily invisible, but produce tho effect of sound within certain lim-Un of rapidity, if the receiver ls'an organ of hearing. A single sharp disturbance of the air. like an explosion, starts an air wave which travels outward In all directions from the source: or a regular repetition of impulses, like the sound of a siren whis tle or of a bell, causes a series of waves. These disturbances are transformed by th ear upon which the wave strikes Into the sensation of the report of the explosion or the musical note of the bell, reduced In loudness 4n accordance with the distance. For the wave Is spreading out Into great er and greater spheres and the proportion of the whole wave which Is received Is correspondingly reduced as it recedes from the starting point. If. Instead of falling upon an ear which responds to a wide range of vibrations the waves are received by some anparatus which responds to but one definite pitch or rapidity of vibration, little or no effect Is produced unless the waves are of the same pitch as that of the receiving instru ment. Such an Instrument Is called a "res onator." and the action Js known as sym pathetic, resonating or syntomlc action. The resonator selects only the waves ol its natural period. To account for tho known phenomenon of light. It has been found necessary to assume the existence of an all-pervading substance called the "ether." Nobody can see or feel the ether, but there are few. If any. now who doubt Its existence. It must be endowed with very remarkable properties; a rigidity great enough ta transmit waves with a velocity of 18C.(0' miles a econd; a lightness so Inconceiv able that all forms of matter pns3 through it with little or no resistance; filling all space, even that between the molecules of every body. In the ether are paslng at all times and always with this ire. mense speed of 1E6.O0O miles a second, waves of all frequencies and of all lengths. The llght-producinir waves lie within com paratively narrow limits, from about 40.0:$ to about 70.000 to the Inch. Shorter than these are the ultra-violet waves, which affect photographic plates strongly, "vi brating about 10.000,000,000.000 times a sec ond, and the X-ray nobody knows how many billions of times a second. Beyond the visible rays at the other end the waves ten to twenty hundred billions of vibra tions a second produce Xhe effect chiefly of heat, and still lower in the scale come waves of all frequencies down to a com paratively few thousands a second, and of all lengths, from a quarter of an Inch to many miles. The effects of these long vaves ore chiefly electrical, so far as yet known, and they are generally called Hartlgan waves, from the namo of the man who first investigated them system atically. All other waves, however, are of the same general electro-magnetic character," and our classification into X-rays and Roentgen rays, light, dark, heat is only an evidence of our limitations In receiv ing apparatus. "With new methods of rc ccivins and detecting such waves new ef fects may be produced. WHO ARE THE FAITHFUL? Editorial Printed In Double Lea da by a Great Republlenn Xcwspnper. Chicago Inter Ocean. "Washington correspondents agree that Adminstratlon Senators are working In cessantly to pass the Infamous act sent up from the House on February 28. Friends of the President are professing to sec only a political maneuver In the peo ple's protest against the measure. It has even come to the point where Cabinet offi cers and Federal officials are proclaiming the Puerto Rico tariff to be "the test of loyalty" the standard on which political faith shall be measured. These men may speak with authority, but they speak neither honestly nor wisely. In viewing the present revolt of the American people against the Puerto Rico tariff in the light of a mere political man euver, they disclose an Ignorance of public opinion and public temper whtch Is as melancholy as It Is appalling. For exactly IS months the President of the United States, In his public speeches and his written messages, has advocated the cause of national expansion. He has done this with the eloquence, the adroit ness and the force which are peculiarly his own. He has met and refuted, times without number, the ugly charges of Im perialism brought against him. his party and his country by the men who opposed the war with Spain and despised the fruits of our victory. He has preached the bless ing of American clvlllzat'on in our new lands. "With his Cablnec officers and his spokesmen in Congress he has fought In the forefront for the extension of Ameri can rights, privileges and Institutions to the islands torn by us from the hands of Spain. In all this work the President has had the -unwavering support of the Republican leaders and the Republican editors throughout the United States. He has been assisted, moreover, by some of the foremost Democrat in the country. "With the aid of these forces, fighting night and day with an Intelligence and enthusiasm rarely paralleled in the political history of the land, it has been possible for him to defeat the enemies of a Greater America, and to disarm and scatter the formidable array at first enlisted under the banner of anti-imperialism. , Thus It came to pass that the President had behind him the full strength and conviction of his party when he told the people of the East: "Our flag docs not mean one thing here and another In Cuba or Puerto Rico"; and that, in forecasting the first constructive legislation calculated to carry out the expansion policy, he spoke to an overwhelming public sentiment when he said: "Our plain duty is to abolish all customs tariffs between the United States and Puerto Rico." The Republican party. and the people of the United States then and there accepted this declaration as con sistent and -final, and on it took their stand. But three months have passed, and what do we see? The Republicans of the House passing an act to reduce Puerto Rico to the level of an Imperialistic colony; to repudiate the aromiscs made specifically In the name of the Pres dent to the peo ple of the island: to erect between them I ana otner American territory a tariff wail such as has never before been et up between territories under the American flag: to disavow the whole doctrine of territorial expansion under the precedents and traditions of this country, and to wipe off the face of politics those professions of good faith and broad statesmanship on which the Republican party has fought and won since the war with Spain, and has prepared to fight again. And all this at the behest of the sugar and tobacco lobby, working under cover at the Na tional Capitol I Yet we are told today that approval of this arrogant betrayal of trust toward our new possessions, of this bare breach of faith toward the American people, ia to be made "the test of loyalty." It may well be asked: "Loyalty to whom, loyalty to what?" To the Gessler hat set up In the House of Representatives by Osnnrd and Company? Surely not. To the Cabinet which for 18 months, by word and deed, has brought the American people to the very position where they now stand fast? No. To .the House of Representatives or the Senate, under whose Inspiration the people marched upward to the heights which they now have and hold? No. To the party which must live or die by the maintenance of a policy which for a year and a half has been Its daily food and drink? No. To the country whose future in the two great oceans Is to bo cast Into the balance by this act of Con gress? No. "What sort of "loyalty," then, Is In ques tion? As we understand Jt, this vague innuendo refers to an imaginary obliga tion on the part of tho people, and espe cially the Republican party, to march up a hill and down again at tho mere say-so of the President. The President of the United States holds the most exalted office on earth. He enjoys such respect and consideration an no other man In the civilized world. He has great power and wide Influence, and Senators and Representatives come and go at his beck and call. But In the eyes of the people there towers above him and them the party that made them, and, above all, the land that gave them birth. For these reruns, we believe, the pres ent appeal to "loyalty" will leave the peo ple unmoved will leave them holding fast to the position on the heights to which William McKInley himself led them, ana proclaiming In his own. words that "our flag dees not mean one thing here nnd another thing in Cuba or Puerto Rico," and that "our plain duty is to abolish all customs tariffs between the United States and Puerto Rico" the tobacco lobby, the sugar lobby, the Republican majority of the House, and even the Republican "ma jority of the Senate to the contrary not withstanding. c Thanks Returned.

TO SHIP BIATHSWOOD, FHOM THIS PORT. Helpless Under Bare Poles for Sev eral Days Part of the House, "Washed Away. Particulars were received yesterday by Dr. J. Douglas Hay, superintendent of tho Seamen's Institute, of the disaster to the Br.tish ship Blythswood, briefly mentioned in recent cablegrams. They came In a letter from one of the apprentices. The Blythswood left Portland last November for Algoa. Bay, but after encountering a storm In which she came near foundering, put Into "Valparaiso. Among her crew were several very Intelligent apprentices, whom Portland friends of the Seamen's Institute met during their sojourn In this port. To them the following narrative will be particularly Interesting: "Ship Blythswood. Valparaiso, Chile, February 4, 1900. It seems very sad at having to put In here, but I believe It must be for some good or other; It will prob ably save us a trip to Algoa Bay, as the captain had news from home today, and he thinks We will go straight there from Valparaiso. So much the better If we do, for we could not- flt ourselves out here like we could at home. (Of course, you are aware we lost all our clothes.) "I will now proceed to give you a few details of the disaster, and how we fared through It all. We left Astoria on the Hth of November. 1ES9, with a fresh breezo blowing from the southeast. We took 12 days to get abreast of 'Frisco on account of head winds, while from thence we had nice weather and were doing good work, sailing along quite pleasantly and com fortably until the evening of the 5th of January, when the barometer began to fall rapidly and storm clouds could be seen gathering In the northwest. The or der was then given to shorten sail, and that evening we took In the royals, flying Jib and m'zzen topgallant, and all light sails. We were now running along with a moderate breeze from the westward at the rate of about eight miles an hour. At midnight the weather was similar the glass still falling and the black clouds con tinually drawin-r nearer. "On the next morning (Saturday) at A, the breeze freshened considerably and the sea commenced to rise. We then took In the topgallant sails and outer Jib. The wind increased during the forenoon. -and at noon all hands were on deck taking In the topsails. By 4 P. M. it was blowing a gale from W. N. W., and Wi were com mencing to take a few seas aboard over the poop. At 4:40 T M. all hands were called on deck to take in the foresail and to brace the yards up on the port tack. I happened to be at the wheel at the time. Wo hove the ship to and put ollbags over the bows. We had no sooner brought her to the wind than a heavy sea struck her and shifted the whole cargo to the star board, bringing vast volumes of water aboard, causing all hands to seek refuge on the poop. It also put the cook's fire out. and he ran aft Into the cabin, so wo got no tea that good night. The ship was now on her beam ends, with whole broad side under water. The gale kept on in creasing and at midnight If was blowing a hurricane. Our main topsail blew away and we cut away the fore topsail, thus having the ship under bare poles. Our position now became extremely dangerous, as we could not keep the ship head to sea. and every sea striking her made her heel over so much that the fore and ma'n yards kept continually dipping In the water. The seas at this time were over E0 feet high. "We lost our starboard lifeboat and a chest of lifebelts that were kept on the bridge. The mate, on seeing this and the weather getting worse. Jumped down the hold and got some of the men to go down and sling bags of wheat, and we on deck threw them overboard. AH went very well until about 4 A. M. Sunday morn ing (7th) when the tarpaulins of our main hatch began to give way and the hatches were likely to get washed off. We stopped working cargo for a while, and all our thoughts wero centered on tne main hatch. Would It hold, with so much water washing about.' However. It did hold, thank God. and we succeeded In passing lashlnjs around and over 11 sufficient to secure it for a while. A frightful amou-tt of water had already made its way do.wn the hold and had soolled considerable amount of the cargo. The lee s!de of the house was now washed away, and the water got Into the half deck and broke rteht through Into the cabin and washed all our chests, clothes and almost everything belonging to us overboard. We lost charts, sextants and chronometers. My bunk and Kelley's were the only two that escaped unharmed, and luckily I had a few things stored away In my bunk which I saved. I found my watch In the scupperc amongst the de bris after the water had left, all rusted up. "But stay! I am going too far ahead. I left off with the main hatch tarpaulins giving way and our successful attempt to secure It. This was about 6 o'clock Sun day morning, when our spanker boom car ried away and we had much difficulty In getting It over the side. We nearly lost a man overboard an able-bodied seaman named Carlson, a Swede. He was washed overboard but was brought back by the next sea, thus marvelously escaping a watery grave. We were most fortunate as regards accidents. No one was hurt to any extent, although everybody got bruised nnf some were cut. Including the captain. He broke a bone In his right shoulder and cut himself over the right eye and down his right cheek. I escaped unharmed, and have the delightful op portunity of writing you these few lines. "Avast, I am straying again. All Sun day morning we were heaving wheat over board and knocked off working at 12 noon, and had a little tinned meat and dry bis cuit the first bit of food we had tasted within 24 hours. Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock we bent a new main topsail and set It, ship still hove to. We have several bags out Sunday night. At 4 A. M. Mon day morning we set the Jib and tcok In the spinnaker. In the forenoon we chocked off the wheat to windward, so that it would not shift back again, and put fresh lashings on the main hatch. In the afternoon we bent the fore topsail, set It, and steered for Valparaiso. Tues day morning, the 9th. dawned with a strong breeze from W. S. W. At noon we set the foresail, weather moderating, and in the afternoon we bent the main upper topsail, averaging 10 knots per hour, ship having a heavy list to starboard. We have about DO feet of our starboard bul wark r.drlft from the shear plate, also badly strained decks. On Tuesday night nil hands were at work and Jettisoned about 300 more bags. On Wednesday we had comparatively fine weather, and we bent a new fore upper topsail, and set mainsail and topgallant sails. The weath er Is getting fine again, and no water on deck. We opened the main hatch and threw bags overboard and trimmed the rest off. recaulked the hatches, battened down and put substantial lashings on. se curing It thoroughly In case of another blow. We jettisoned In all about SOO'bngs of wheat. "On Thursday wo found seven Inches of water in the hold, and started the pumps nnd reduced It to five inches. On Sunday, the 14th, we passed a bark bnund pouth. We shortened sail and hoisted the Inter national code signal of distress N C but she passed unheeding. We wonted to ascertain our longitude, as we had lost our chronometers and could only calculate our position by dead reckoning. We had nice weather frcm thence to Valparaiso, and sighted Cape Carrauxa on Wednes day, the litfi of January, arriving at Val paraiso Friday morning. "In conclusion I wish to send you th boys' kind regards, and best wishes from myself, I remain your affectum-te friend, "E. D. HUGHES." The Lanrnda Investigation. J SEATTLE, March 12. At the official In- qulry Into tho loss of the steamship Lau rada, begun at the request of the marine underwriters, who refused to pay Insur ance on the vessel, in this city, today. Captain Frank M. White, master of the vessel; Thomas Short, chief engineer, and others of the crew were on the stand. The burden of their testimony was that the Laurada. while en route from Dutch Harbor to Cape Nome, sprung a leak, and that Captain White, In order to save the lives of the passengers and the cargo and vessel Itself, made for the nearest land and beached his sinking ship.

The steamer Golden Gate sailed from here to day for Alaska, to go on the mall route between Sitka and Kadiak. In place of the long-overduo steamer Wolcott. and also to make diligent search for the Wolcott. SInco the Wolcott was reported as being on her way to Sitka from the West Coast of Alaska several severe storms in the North Pacific Ocean have occurred, and shipping men who are familiar with that coast and also with the Wolcott are of tho opinion that the little craft has gone to the bottom. a Mlnlnpr Suspended n Rosslnnd. ROSSLAND. B. C. March 12. All work In the way of mining development has virtually been suspended In the camp, and the ore shipments last week aggregated only 124 tons. Not a single miner Is work ing In tho War Eagle and Center Star. No oro is being shipped from the Lo Roi. WORD OF GAUTM. The old saving that " a man, who is naked can't ive away his shirt," is only another way of saying that you can't give what you haven't got. The man can't give " free medical advice," or any other kind of medical advice who hasn't got a medical education and a certijScate to the fact, in the form of a diploma. And in this particular a woman has no more privilege than a man. She can't give medical advice without medical edu cation and medical knowledge. The offer of free medical advice made by Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In stitute, Buffalo, N. Y., has been imitated by so many, who without any medical qualifications claim to give "medical advice " that a word of caution is neces sary.. Don't write for medical advice to any one, man or woman, who is not a phy sician. If they are physicians they will take the title of physicians or doctors so that you may recognize them. If they don't claim that title it is because they dare not, for fear of the law. Do not forget that there is just as much difference in doctors as in artists. Every little town has its artist who draws and paints. But these "artists" gener ally paint copies of the works of great artists like Millet. There was only one Millet. There is only one Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, such as Dr. Pierce presides over. Thousands of women come or write to Dr. Pierce who have found no help at the hands of doctors of lesser skill and narrower experience. Any sick or ailing woman, suffering from tlie distressing forms of disease peculiar to women. i: invito tn rrr suit Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con- suiiauons are arjsoiuteiy private. iSacn letter is treated as a sacred confidence, and each answer is sent in a plain en velope, bearing no printing upon it. In this way offensive questions and repulsive examinations may be avoided. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. A Badly Sprained Arm HOUSTON. Texai. DR. RADWAT & CO.
