The Idea of the electro-magnetic charac ter of light was advanced by Clerk Max well about 1SC1. and the theory was fully developed In his book published In 1S73. The identity In character of all ether waves was generally accepted as a fact before it was demonstrated experimental ly, and many investigators had worked In this direction In vain before the solution of the problem was hit upon by Hertz. It Is easy to start waves in the ether. Herts Oscillator. In fact, almost any natural phenomenon starts them. The difficulty was In detect ing their presence when they lay outside the ranse of llcht and heat effects. Rapid DlschnrKcH Oscillatory. When an electrically charged body Is discharged the character of the discharge depends upon the properties of the dis charging circuit I that circuit has mag netic properties In any marked degree it acts as a damper and the charge runs oft with comparative slowness as a current In one direction only. If, however, the mag netic properties are absent or of very small value the electric charge surges rap idly out, past the point of equilibrium, then back again, and oscillates In this way until the energy has been dissipated as heat. A spark discharge, of which lightning Is an example on the greatest scale known to us, oscillates while It lasts at the rate of perhaps many million times a second and starts waves In the ether of a corresponding frequency and length. The rate of oscillation depends upon the properties of the discharging circuit and by a proper adjustment of that circuit the length of wave may be regulated. The oscillatory character of such a dis charge was known many years before Kertz. but as no method was known of detecting such ether waves In space the experimental Investigation of their prop erties was Impossible. Hertz discovered a method of detecting these waves, and. armed with this detection, he pushed through ft rapid and thorough serjes of ex Hill FRENCH CONVERSATION by Seymour Eaton.) DIRECTED BY PROF.

It was while experimenting with a pair of similar colls of wire intended to show induction effects that Hertz noticed that if a small Leyden jar or small induction coil was discharged through one of the colls, current could be Induced to the oth er, provided the circuits were not com- j plete. There must be a short spark-gap. I This spark-gap in the first coll furnished j the means for exciting the very sudden uisiuroance ot tne etner, ana tne second coll, similarly arranged, became a detect orof ether waves, responding most strong ly to ether vibrations of its own natural period. In all his experiments Hertz made use of sympathetic or resonating action. The exciter was the spark passing between two polished balls on cither side of the break In the discharging circuit, which was fed by the action of an ordinary Ruhmkorff cell. The detector, or "elec trical eye." as Lord Kelvin has called It, was usually a simple rectangle or circle of zinc In this wire there was a break, with a knob or ball on each side, and the distance between the knobs could be reg ulated by a micrometer screw. Although this detector would respond within a con siderable range, the spark reached a max imum fot a particular adjustment at which the natural periods of the exciter and the detector were the same. An Im provement made by la'er investigators consists in keeping the spark terminals Immersed in oil. This prevents the rough ening of the surface, and seems to make the discharge moie regular, probably by the same action as that of the electrolytic Interruption. Properties of Etlier Wnvc. By means of these simple devices Hertz made a complete investigation of the properties xof electric waves in the ether. He found that they were reflected by metallic surfaces, but passed through wood and stone, and other Insulating substances; and he succeeded In refract ing them by a great prism pitch. Just as light Is refracted by a prism of glass. He measured the length of waves and their speed, which was the same as that of SPARH Hertz Spark-Gnp Detector. light. In the course of a lecture delivered not long after this. Lodge said, referring to ether waves of thl3 kind: "They can be reflected by plane sheets of metal, concentrated by parabolic re- ' (lectors, refracted by prlsnis, concentrated oGlP by lenses. I have at the college a large lens of pitch, weighing over three hun dredweight, for concentrating them to a focus. They can be made to show the phenomena of Interference and thus have their wave lengths accurately measured. They arc stopped by all conductors and transmitted by all insulators. Metals are opaque, but even Imperfect Insulators, such as wood or stone, are strikingly transparent, and waves may be received in one room from a source in another, the doot between the two being shut.--Spnee Telesrraphy. This was tho germ of space telegraphy in its present form. The wave Is started by suitable apparatus travels through the ether with the speed of light and Is re ceived by other devices much more sens itive than that used by Hertz. These will be described later. As the ether waves are absorbed by conductors, the action In the usual method of signaling with wires is evidently only a special case, in which" the ether waves started at the transmitting end ace re ceived by the wire of the circuit, the dis turbance penetrating the wire from tne outside, and In this way a much larger proportion of the energy Is used where it is wanted than in any system in which wire circuits are dispensed with. The two actions may be roughly compared to the transmission of sound waves from one point to another by shouting In the open air and bv talking through a speaking tube. A method of signaling through space which may be considered to lie between the ordinary system with a wire circuit and the modern wireless telegraphy Is that which has been used to signal mov ing trains. The car containing the receiv ing apparatus was fitted with a wire run ning the length of the roof or the side, and the message was transmitted from the pole line running alongside the track to the wire on the car, by Induction through the space separating the two. This was the propagation of a true -ether wave, differing from the latest methods chiefly in the period and wave length of the disturbance and In the sensitiveness and arrangement of the apparatus re sponding to it. The development of the method now generally designated by the name "wire less telegraphy" will be described In tho next paper. THE LITERARY "WAYSIDE. Some of tlie Amusement of Our Enff HmIi Friends. The British poets of the present mo ment, Mr. William Watson being one of them and Sir Edwin Arnold the other, lately distinguished themselves by cross ing their swords of lath In the news papers, the occasion being a difference of opinion in the things which they ca.1 their minds respecting the conduct of their country In Its present unpleasant ness In South Africa. Thus, Mr. Wat son, who always takes himself and h'.a neat little gift of verse very seriously: rnst and Present. When lofty Spain came towering up the seas This little stubborn land to daunt and quell. The winds of heaven were our auxiliaries, And smote her that she fell. Ah. not today Is Nature on our side! The mountains and the rivers are our foe. And Nature with the heart of man allied Is hard to overthrow. To this Sir Edwin was moved beyond his kindly wont to manufacture the follow ing stanzas In the Dally Telegraph, of which he Is, we believe, the- editor: A Reply. Imputes he mortal passions to the mountains! And. for a party utroke. Feigns he that waterways and river-founlalna Fight for the Boer's ill yoke? Enough to answer England's slanderous oon. And brand his calumny, I bore her flies to battle, every one Her Lover Ocean I! To this battle of the poets an anony mous correspondent of the London Out look appropriately adds the following con clusion: Two poets. In two gractlesa periods born. With vere two-penny papero did adorn. One said: "Dame Nature means to back the Beer," And t' other, "It's elander sir, I'm sure!" As poesy la clearly gone to pot. I merely wish to cay to both, "Wot wrot!" The latest number of the Academy con tains the following lyric, by Mr. A. E. Housman, the pathetic quality of whose feeling will come to many of his coun trymen and countrywomen who have hus bands and brothers and children in tho Transvaal: Illic Jacet. Oh. hard is the bed they have made him. And common the blankets and cheap. But there he will He as they laid him; Where ctoe could you trust him to sleep? To !eep when the bugle ia crying And cravens have heard and are brave. When mothers and sweethearts are sighing And lads are in love with the grave. Oh, dark Is the bedside and lonely, And lights and companions depart. But lief will he low them and only Behold the desire of his heart. Oh, thin Is the quilt, but It covers A riceper content to repoe. And far from hlo friends and his lovers, He XltB with the sweetheart he chose. One of the best poems called forth by this war came from South Africa Itself. It was published In the Cape Town Tel ephone over the Initials L. J. O. B. Here It is: Tlie Boer's Swan Sons:. This Is the sang of the old Boer rifleman, who hears the advance of the British forces and knows that the dream of a Boer empire for South Africa is at an end: Ts, the red-coats are returning; I can hear the eteady tramp. After twenty years of waiting, lulled to 6leep. Since rank and file at Potchefstroom we hemmed them In their camp. And cut them up at Brunkersprult like cheep.

More Equipment for the Land Men and the Naval Battalion Ore gon's Claim Increased. An increased allowance to the state for equipping the volunteers approximating $12,000, promise of a small cruiser for the use of the Oregon Naval Battalion, loan of a modern 12-oar cutter for the same purpose, and promise of another, loan of two rapid fire, three-Inch naval guns, arrangements for two modern, breech-loading 3.2-lnch field pieces for Battery A, and general co-operation in promoting state Interests by Increasing the National appropriation for the Guard from W00.003 annually to 52,000,000, repre sents the effective work, accomplished In Washington, D. C, by Adjutant-General C U. Gantcnbeln. Adjutant-General Gantenbeln went to Washington two weeks ago for the double purpcee of pressing the state's claim and aiding the passage of a more favorable Guard bill.' In the first piece of work It was recognized that he had great difllcul tles to encounter, as the Quartermaster Department had decided to allow Oregon only 50 per cent of. her claim against the Government for equipping and clothing General C. IT.. Gantenbeln. the state volunteers for the Spanfsh War. This decision was based en the action of a board of survey appointed In the Second Oregon fixing the price of clothing Issued by tho state to her troops at less than SO per cent of the figure claimed by the state against the Government. That board of Oregon men acted for the Inter ests of the men, who were complaining that second-hand clothing was being charged at the same rate as new Govern ment uniforms. Naturally, the board fa vored the men. but tn Government was disposed to hold the state to the same fig ure, and the report of the Quartermaster Department on the state's claim had only raised the figure fixed by the board a very small per cent to mak the claim allowed oven half of what was asked. All corre spondence during the past two years had failed to effect anything. When Govern or Geer complied with the request to send his Adjutant-General to Washington In connection with the new Guard bill, he In structed him to take up the claim. General Gantenbeln returned home yes terday, and says he met with even greater difficulties than he anticipated. Before starting he had carefully prepared papers covering every class and quality of arti cles In the claim. The original class was divided Into two separate accounts. One was for the expenses Incurred by the state In aiding the Government to raise a volun teer army, which consisted of transporta tion and all expenses Incident to Camp Mc Klnley, amounting to $5002 51. Of this sum the Government paid, some time ago. $2044 22. which was all that would be al lowed. General Gantenbeln flrat took his claim "up and went ever every Item with about 15 different clerks and ofilc'als. Each place entered asked for his paperr, that thej might be sent on to some other department or bureau. He insisted on retaining his papers and going with them, and so he kept drifting until he finally reached General Ludlngton, Quartermaster-General. The result was that this en tire claim, save $S7, was allowed, this amount being for horsefeed contracted by officers. Next the claim for clothing and equip ment was taken up, which originally amounted to $35,006 39. Some of the uni forms had been worn for yrars, and were not of the best quality, while others were new and of unusual quaUty. Oregon over coats and blankets were regarded better than the Government article. The board of survey, however, had brought the aver age below P0 per cent of Its original amount. General Gantenbeln argued faithfully and long, his experience In tho Guard and the Second Oregon especially qualifying him for the task, and at last one of the clerks who 'had reported ad versely on the claim "rent with him to General Ludlngton and said, since the lawyer-like presentation of the matter, he had changed his opinion, and would favor enlarging the allowance. The result was that $27 05 05 was allowed the state In stead of $15.50S S3, as before Intended. Everything Governor Geer had contended for was granted, which was all that could be asked. Equipment of Gnm. There Is aproxlmately $SO00 due the .state on the annual Guard allowance from the Government. The military board author ized General Gantenbeln. some time ago. to cast about for providing Light Battery A with two fine modern field piece?. While In Washington he took the matter up. and soon had arrangements made whereby the Battery will be furnished Ihd guns, caissons and full equipment, pay ment for which will be made out of this back pay to the state. Battery A will be one of the best-equipped organizations of the kind In the country then, and may well cause the state to regard It with pride. There Is no question that the Bat tery would have been one of the organi zations sent to the Philippines during the I guarantee on a bond of $5000 these to be the genuine, original and only patented Dr. Sanden Electric Belts.

S. 253 Washington Street? war If they had possessed euch guns as they aro now a& cured. Following thlf, work. General Ganten beln went over to the Navy Department and laid before Assistant Secretary Allen the necessity of furnishing the Oregon Naval Battalion with a practice cruiser It was determined that a gunboat was the size of vessel adapted to the need, and Afislstant-53ccretary Allen gave his assur ance that as soon as the Adams or the Alert went out of commission, which was expected as soon as relieved by the return of vessels irom the As'atlc squadron or addition to the Pacific Coast squadron by construction of new vessels, that Oregon should have a gunboat for her Naval Bat talion. To show his good faith, the Secre tary asked General Gantenbeln to observe the arrival of cruisers from the Orient or thoce newly commissioned, and remind him whenever one or both of the vessels named, could be put out of commission. For Immediate Use. For immediate use. General Gantenbeln secured the loan of a flrst-rlass12-oared naval cvtter, which belongs to the cruiser Phlladelnhla. The cutter te now being re paired, and as soon as finished will be sent to Oregon for the Naval Battaljon. Another was promised by the Secretary whenever It could be secured, that each division In the state may havo one good cutter. These cutter? will le armed w'th a one-pounder In the bow after they reach hero. Thcro It now due the state mort; than enough money from tbe Government appropriation to the Naval Reserve to pay for these one-pounder?. Mr. Allen said several state Adjutant-Generals had failed to report the strength of their Naval Re serve forces, which precluded distribution of the money appropriated by the Gov ernment for that purpose. When these re ports are all filed, which ! expected soon, Oregon will receive her allowance and the one-pounders will be prov'ded. according to Instructions left with Assistant-Secretary Allen. In addition to all this. Gen eral Gantenbeln secured the loan of the two three-Inch rapid fire naval gurn an rounced some time ago. These, doubtless, will be received before long. With this equipment and armament, and the assur ance of a fine runhoat. such as tho Adams was seen by Portlanders to be, Oregon's Naval Battalion wll become one of th most popular and useful branches of the service. National Appropriation. On the National Guard appropriation bill, favorable action has been pnralsed by the House committee on militia. When all the Adjutant-Generals assembled In Washing ton. It was found that 3S states were represented a large number for such an occasion. This formidable body held a con sultat'on and determined that the In creased appropriation from $400,000 to t2.O00.O00. was the only feature of the new bill that should be pressed now. Accord ingly, all work for reorganizing the Guard was abandoned for the time. Chairman Marsh, of the militia commltte, gave the Adjutant-Generals a hearing, and called for Individual opinions. General Ganten beln followed the Adjutant-General of Maine. At the close of the hearing the chairman asked that the committee be al 1owed a few momenta for consultation, after which he announced that the In creased appropriation would be unanimous ly supported In the House. Members of he Oregon delegation were interviewed to ascertain their position, and all agreed to favor an Increase for the Guard. The members of the Senate to whom the bill will be referred when received from the House were .spoken to by a committee of Adjutant-Goneralc. and they promised -'avorable action. This seems to assure the Increase arJced for. Oregon's chare of the annual appropria tion heretofore has been $32C0. If the In creased appropriation passes this will be raised to $16,000. as the Congressional rep- esentatlon now stands, and If the state Is given another Representative the total will be $20,000. Oregon's National Guard has a bright fu ture before It. The sums now In hind, with promise of Increased appropriations, will enable tho military board to fit every branch of the service up In excellent style, and with thoroughly modern equipments. Companies have been multiplying so fast of late that It looked an though the board would have difficulty In getting all under wpv, but now everything Is clear. General Gantenbeln's excellent work -olaces this state In advance of several ithers that furnished troops for the Span sh War. Wash'ngton's claim Is still pend ng, only a, smnll portion having been al lowed. Several of the states had hired .special agents to stay In Washington and jush their Interests, while others had the same work done through regular boards ,-malntained at the capital. Governor Geer yesterday received a -check for the largo sum allowed for cloth ing and equipment, amounting to $27.F05 85. as General Gantenbe'n remained In Wash ington until he saw the check drawn, that there might be no reconsideration. The heck for the smaller amount will be for- i warded soon. A Woman's Revlvnl Work. Sheridan Sun.
