THE OREGONIAN'S HOMESTUDY CIRCLE:
Note. These lessons have been prepared for
The Orfgonlan's Home Study Circle by Prof.
Uenno Klrschbaum. of Pnlladelphla. They are
Intended primarily for Americans who purpose
attending the Paris exposition. The lesrons in
clude (I) common French words and jihrawes,
(2) easy conversation and (3) simple reading

Hint on Pronunciation.
L In pronouncing a French word put the
stress always upon the last syllable. This
stress, or emphsis. Is very slight. Tho
consonants, the student roust remember,
are pronounctd as In English.
2. Consonants at the ends of words arc
not sounded, except c, , I and r. These
are generally sounded.
3. The following letters seem to bo the
most bothersome to Americans:
g Is silent before n. as In magnfQque;
mabn-yee-feck.
' h is usually mute: hotel: o-tell.
qu has almost always the sound of fc;
quatre; cat-tr.
Notrv Like in Rncllh. q Is altrsys milted with
n. and ocrer stands alone.
r is harder than in English, principally
at the beginning and the end of words.
f between two vowels is like r; refuser;
rab-fub-zay.
6 at the beginning of a word is hissing:
sept: sett.
ih has the sound of the English t;
thSAtre: tay-atr.
Note Th English th bas no equivalent In
French. The pound of "th" dnes not exist at til.
us is generally like the English v; this
letter is not used frequently.
Not Stndents mast not gle the eonnd of
the English w to the t.
at the end of a word Is mute, as doux;
doo. It has sometimes after a vowel the
Bound of 0; exemple; eggs-ample.
Note There are. of course, a great many
exception to these roles, which are glren here
merely as practical hints for students who are
anxious to get alone as well as circumstances
permit.
As a general guide and for the purpose
of a review we shall now give the twenty
Blx letters, with pronounciation. which
make up the alphabet of tho French lan

The Colierer.
The spark-gap detector used by Hertz
.was extremely simple, but of limited sen
sitiveness, falling to respond at distances
greater than about 200 feet. The first re
quisite, therefore, to make space telegra
phy of. practical value was a detector
which should be reliable and. sufficiently
.sensitive to respond at a distance of miles
Sustead of yards. This was found in the
'"coberer," wliich. has been ascribed to
Sra-nly, although It was known -and used
In one form or another long before his
work upon.lt.
Since the first use of the microphone as
a telephone transmitter the fact was well
"known that a simple microphone contact.
Hike the Blake, if the prints were both
made of metal, became faintly welded to
gether under the action, of tho current;
and this, a defect In a telephone, was
one of the principal reasons for the use
of carbon. A single metallic contact of
this sort is the form- of coherer which has
toeen used by Lodge. Hughes noticed this
peculiar sensitiveness of a microphonic
contact, either single or multiple, to a
discharge through it, and the same effect
appears to have Iboen observed by others.
Orresti, however, seems to have been the
first to make use of this property, and
Sranly Increased the sensitiveness of the
coherer toy modifications in the design. As
at present used the coherer consists of a
email glass tube In which metallic pistons
JBt tightly. The space between these pis
tons one-twentieth to one-quarter of an
3nch Is filled somewhat loosely with fil
ings of metal. The ends of the pistons
nro smeared with mercury, and the fil
ings, which must be thorp, are worked up
with a little mercury for the best results.
In addition to this Marconi has used co
herers in which the space between the pis
tons is practically or wholly exhausted of
air. Filings of any mtai will work, but
the best results are obtained with a mix
ture of about 9G per cent nickel and 4
per cent silver. The tightness with which
thej' are packed In the tube must be care
fully adjusted by moving the pistons.
Action o Coherer.
Whn a discharge of electricity passes
through a mass of filings, which are or-
2l
Coherrer.
dinarlly In no particular arrangement, but
lying in random positions, the filings at
once marshal themselves In regular order,
point to point, and the chains thus es
taoHshed are made more perfect by the
slight welding action of the contact. Tho
resistance of the mass of filings, which
before was Infinite, becomes finite from
100 ohms to 500 ohms and if a battery Is
in connection with the coherer a current
may be made to pass and actuate a re
lay. The cause of this behavior of the filings
Is probably the well-known action of a
static change, which Is most Intense at

sharp points. Each individual filing,
therefore, is most intensely and oppositely
charged by Induction at opposite sharp
points, and each positively charged point
Is attracted to tho negatively charged
point of a neighboring filing. As soon as
contact occurs the charge passes and
welds the Points, the whole netlon hAlnrr
i practically Instantaneous.
J.o restore the coherer to Its sensitive
condition these welds must he broken.
This is actually accompllsned by causing
the tongue of a vibrator or buzzer to tap
tho tube and shake up the filings. The
same thing may be effected by rotating
the coherer or by placing It In a rapidly
alternating magnetic field.
Sensitiveness of the Coherer.
The extraordinary sensitiveness of the
coherer may be dimly appreciated when
the conditions under which It works are
known. It has been computed by Abbott
that, working at a distance of 35 miles
It has responded to more than twice that
distance the coherer has an efficiency of
only one five hundred-millionth of 1 per
cent. That is, It uses only one flfty-bll-llonth
of the energy put In at the trans
mitting end. Even then the sensitiveness
wlU probably be increased.
Siarconi's Syiitexn.
The system employed by Marconi is
shown In the diagrams. The simplest form
of "transmitting device consists of an
induction coll or other alternator, with
spark gap In the secondary and battery
and key in the primary. When the key
is closed a stream of sparks passes across
the gap, setting up corresponding ether
waves which radiate in all directions and
are detected by the receiving apparatus.
The spark gap may bo simple or a Rlghl
oscillator may be used. In which two
larger brass balls, very close together, are
placed between the terminal balls of the
coll.
To send these waves In any particular
direction a parabolic reflector of metal Is
so placed that the spark gap Is at the
focus and the open side of the reflector
points in the desired direction. So far
as has yet been announced, no distance
greater than two miles has been covered
by the use of reflectors. The receiver for
I aireciea waves nas a similar renector witn
J the coherer In the focus, and neither trans.
mitter nor receiver Is connected with a
vertical wire.

success has been attained, however, Mar
coni uses a vertical wire of height ad
Justed to the distance over which the sig
nals are to be sent. One side of the spark
gap Is connected to the vertical wire, the
other to earth.
The receiver circuit la less simple. One
side of the coherer Is connected to the
vertical wire, the other side to earth; and
the coherer Is also Included in the cir
cuit of a local battery and sensitive relay.
WTien a discharge passes through the
coherer, its resistance Is so far lowered
that the local battery actuates the relay.
This, in turn, closes another circuit In
which is a Morse recorder or other reg
istering instrument. The tipper is also
connected In this seoond local circuit and

keeps up Its hammering on the coherer
so long as the discharge Is passing.
Every contact ft shunted by a non-lnductlve
resistance to prevent sparking.
The light armature of the relay Is In
more or less continuous vibration, but
tho heavy armature of the Morse instru
ment does not respond so quickly and
remains down as long as the transmitting
key fs closed, recording the regular Morse
characters.
SHOWS MINE OPERATIONS.
Valuable Addition Made to Free City
Munenm.
Colonel L. L. Hawkins has secured for
the City Museum a very valuable and ln
tcrestlng mining exhibit that differs wide
ly from those usually shown. The exhibit
shows the practical working of a mine in
all Its various stages of concentration of
orea. from the time the ore is taken out
until it is ready to be shipped to the
smelters In the form of concentrates. The
object Colonel Hawkins had In view In
securing this exhibit wns to Interest nov
ices in practical mining, and to give to
the teachers in the schools an opportunity
to explain the operation of mining to their
classes. Several teaeners have already
taken advantage of this.
Tl exhibit wns personally gathered by
Colonel Hawkins, from the Standard mine,
In the Coeur d'Alene mining district. The
ore and concentrates are placed in pans,
which are arranged In rows In a glass
case, showing each stage of concentrates
and ores from the mines to the buttons
of metal from, the assayer's crucibles. In
the exhibit are pictures of the mines nnd
mill and several specimens of quartz and
granite cores from diamond drills.

OVERDUE LYDOATE SAFE
ANOTHER W1XXIXG FOR THE REIX
SURAXCE SPECULATORS.
Many Portland-Bound Snips Have
Frightened Underwriters With.
Long Fassases Marine Xotes.
The British bark Lydgate, under char
ter to load wheat at Portland, arrived
at Shanghai last Monday, after a long
passage of 09 days from New York. The
ship was well known In this port as a
slow sailer, and her master, Captain
Jones, formerly of the Galgate and Trade
Winds, was also known as a careful mas
ter. Accordingly, no uneasiness was felt
over the long passage she was making.
Some of the underwriters, however, were
Inclined to be frightened, and they began
quoting reinsurance six weeks ago, and
the San Francisco Commercial News of
last Saturday quoted the rate at 15 per
cent. This particular case of course has
touched the underwriters rather lightly,
but their timidity, which has caused
them in many cases to begin offering re
Insurance on vessels before they were
ful'y due, has given reinsurance specula
tors many good things on Portland-bound
vessels within the past year. The best
winning they have made In that period
was on the Macduff, the figures on this
craft going up as high as 70 per cent be
fore she finally arrived at Astoria In
safety.
The Lorton was also considered a suffi
ciently hopeless case to warrant 30 per
cent reinsurance being paid on her, and,
like the Macduff, she also turned up safe
ly after a long passage. The next winner
selected by the reinsurance men was the
French bark Louis Pasteur, and, for no
apparent reason, the underwriters began
paying reinsurance on her before she was
fully due at Astoria, and by tho time she
reached the Columbia, after a passage
that was not unusually long, 30 per cent
had been paid. On the Jules Verne, an
other French bark due about the same
time, the rate got up to 10 per cent be
fore the vessel was out ISO days, which Is
only ar. average passage.
In addition to the Portland-bound fleet
several of the Sound vessels have proved
very profitable speculations for the men
who took reinsurance on them, 60 per cent
being paid on the American ship May
Flint, with a number of others quotable
from 5 to 15 per cent.
DEHRIXG SEA PATROL.
Fleet for the Cominfr Scnxon Will
Include Five Cutters.
NEW YORK. March 2S. A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Arrangements are being perfected by the
Treasury Department for the establish
ment and maintenance of the Behrlng Sea
patrol. This patrol will be made by nva
cutters. Including the Bear, the Manning,
the Perry, the McCulloch and the Rush.
The Bear will leave early in April for
Behrlng Sea and the other cutters will
follow promptly after her. The Man
ning will not be able to Join the fleet
until May, as she has Just arrived at Cal
lao, Peru, on her way to San Francisco.
It Is not Intended to assign a senior oltl
cer to command the patrol fleet. Each
commanding offcer will receive instruc
tions to co-operate with his brother offi
cers in preventing pelagic sealing, and
they will be required to make such ar
rangements that one vessel only will be
In port at Unalaska at a time, and then
only for a couple of days. The same
rules which have been followed for sev
eral seasons past will be observed.
The patrol Is necessary because of the
failure of the Joint High Commission to
settle the questions at Issue with Canada.
The commission has agreed upon a mode
of settling the Behrlng Sea question, un
der which the United States would have
purchased the sealing vessels and outfits
of Canadian sealers, and have obtained
control of the Northern Pacific, but the
Inability of the commission of the two
governments to determine the Alaskan
boundary controversy caused the failure
of all negotiations with respect to the
Canadian question.

OckJnhnnm Coming Up With n Ileavy
Double Tow. .
The O. R. & N. Co.'s towboat Ockla
hama Is on the way up the river with
about as heavy a tow as Is often brought
up by a single boat. She has the Brit
ish bark Inverness-shire, 2147 tons, and
the British ship Thornllebank. 1969 tons.
She met a headwind soon after leaving
Astoria, and will probably not reach
Portland until late In the afternoon today.
The British bark Berwickshire, the small
est vessel that has visited Portland for
over two years, arrived In Sunday, and
the Emma Hayward has been dispatched
to bring her up. The Berwickshire regis
ters but 901 tons, and the Hayward may
take her on deck. The William Law ar
rived up Sunday afternoon, and Is now
discharging ballast. The arrival of the
Berwickshire cleans up tfie list of vessels
known to be due at this port, although
some of the island fleet may come along
with the next fortnight.
The French bark Marechal Villlers,
which was supposed to be close at hand,
is yet several weeks distant. According
to New York papers, the vessel was still
at Montevideo February 27. As she put
into that port early In November. It is
apparent that the damage she sustained
must be greater than was at first reported.

RAPID LOADIXG.
Aberseldie's Flour Cargo Taken at
the Rate of 120 Sacks Per Minute.
Brown & McCabe were not out for a
record when they loaded the big liner
Abergeldle last week, but at the Port
land flouring mills plant, in Alblna, they
put an enormous amount of flour aboard
In a comparatively short space of time.
They started loading at the mills at 10
A. M March 22, and In 1V& working hours
put aboard 129,007 sacks of flour. Consid
ering the number of packages handled,
this is about the fastest work that has
been done In this port. An average of
over 120 sacks per minute for a stretch
of 17 hours Is fast enough to please the
most exacting shipmaster.

There are many people, women and
men, who suffer from nervous disorders,
and who are misled as to the true nature
of the malady on account of the complex
symptoms. When the nervous system is
at fault, symptoms arise that are entirely
remote from the seat of the disorder, and
this is why people will doctor for stom
ach.trouble, heart trouble and other dis
orders when in "reality it is the nerves
alone that are at fault. This diagram
will serve to teach-you your exact con
dition if your nerves are at fault. A
prominent symptom is headache or dizzi
ness (Fig. i). The headache may be
throbbing or dull. Other symptoms are
