Son 0 Late Abnun Hewitt Turns Out
': Invention Eclipsing Toung Italian.
New York, Feb. 20. Ia the current
issue of the Electrical Review is de
scribed an important Invention in wire
lea telegraphy by Peter Cooper Hewitt
of New York City, son of the late
Abram & Hewitt This device, which
Is a development of the Cooper-Hewitt
mercury vapor lamp, takes the place
of the usual spark-gap for discharging
in the antenna, or sending mask. It
consits of a glass globe, eight 40 10
Inches In diameter, with two mercury
electrodes contained in tubes sealed in
the lower part of the globe. The de
vice is very effective, and it is stat
ed by this authority, will enable a much
more powerful electrical wave to be
set up than is possible with the meth
ods at present in use and wtllalso make
secrecy In transmission easily posible.

mechanics at Columbia university and
widely known from his invention in
long distance telephone transmission,
is quoted by the Electrical Review as
saying: ' . : "
The Cooper-Hewitt mecury vapor
Interrupter at once establishes wirelss
telegraphy on a commercial basis. The
problem of selective signalling is solved
and trans-Atlantic mission will be
easy." ..... ... : , . ,.-

I I sicklj women be-
1 tween the age of
45 and 55, but there are
Terr few inralid orer 65
and 60 years of age. The
change of life coming to
a woman near her forty
fourth year, either makes
her an invalid or give
her a new lease on life. Those who
meet thin change in ill health sel
dom lire ten years afterward, while
a woman who lays aside the active
duties of womanhood hi health sel
dom fails to lire on In happiness,
years ulter she has passed 60. This
is truly a critical time.
Mn. Laura S. Webb, of Toledo,
Ohio, recognizes the change of life
as a dangerou period aud she also
has faith in Wine of Cardui. She
writes: ' ".'..'
"As I had always eua rroubW more
