MESSAGES VXDERGROUXD. A Jesuit of Pennsylvania the Invent r oi new wireless Telegraph System. Father Josenh Uurma nt Tcma. - ca vk is iinvir uarre, rennsylvanla, expects, within the next month or two to ho a hi a tn send wireless messages to Europe by uwia wi Bis new system which is now in practical operation. Since the completion of the aerial wireless eystem and ita development to Its present stage of per.estion Father Murgaa has been experiment ing wtin an underground service wntcn he believes will be more valu able than the aerial system. His ex periments bo far have been limited to short distances with moderate elec trical power and shallow holes. But he la now completing underground stations in Wllkes-Oarre and Scran ton and will conduct the experiments on a larger scale. So far as he has proceeded with thla work, eo successfully has his theory of underground wireless tel egraph worked out that recently h announced he had no doubt of his ability to send an underground mess age to Europe and that the experi ment will shortly be made, despite the fact that It la estimated It will cost 123,000. To accomplish this, he says, a shaft 3,000 feet deep must be sunk In this country, and one of similar depth ir Europe. Each of these will have to be concreted to render it impervious to dampness, which would destroy the efllrtency of the wires with which the tending and receiving apparatus will be connected with the surface. A great seal of power will also be re- Quired. The shafts at wiikea-Barre and Rcranton ar 800 feet deep and the distance 1a eighteen mllea.

Upon coming to the surface, however, she was seized by the Newark heroine who brought her safely to shore. For her act of heroism. Miss Titus, wno is only sixteen years old, was a warded a Carnegie medal, although at the time her name was under con sideration, hundreds of other persons were brought forward as worthy of re ward. Since receiving the medal Miss Titus's father died leaving; insufficient money to send her to college as she craved. Miss Reifsnyder, apprised the Carnegie commission of her friend's desire for an education and the com mission decided to grant her $2,500 Five hundred dollars of this is to be paid upon her entrance to a school ;500 annually In advance for three years, and $300 at her graduation This Is the largest roward ever riven 'y the cotnir.ls-ion, tlie highest provi lous being ?1.000. Eight Million Dol.ars In Charity Last i.ar In fww York Alone curHi y Humes Provided In Cases Where hruciicabic. At one of the vacation Bible classes last summer, some tenement children were taught a word-guessing game. One of the words ceiected was home." The little girl whose turn it was to guess failed to get a ciue. and a boy trying to help her, said, "Think of Homeining tnat emeus awful and you want to get away from fnck." The child gueod "house." lue dirt and foul auuobputre of his home is dis gusting to even the tenement chid LuDiseiA yet home is tbe ciuitl a great est necessity. Authorities on the sub ject strongly advoca'.j tin crrvat lortuLes of philanthropists as wo.i as state and municipal funds be devoted. not to building institutions for depen dent children, but to pensioning wid ows with families and finding foster parents for orphans. Of tho 600,000 children under 14 years cf age who form 18 per cent of me population of New Tork City, 25, 000 are homeless waifs. About half of these foriorn little ones are babies be tween the ages of two and four. The causes that tpcrate to bring about this pitiable condition are those that fill the workhouses and prisons, dath of one or both parent, ln'-jry through accident, consumption, rice, crime. Inability to obtain work and in competence, desertion. Juvenile de pravity. Many Half Orphans. Complete orphans ire Is less frequent than Is generally supposed. In most cnei4 that come under the attention or the charities associations, the children nre half orphans. However when the father Is the surviving parent, the re sult as far as t" 'akine f the home is concerned Is the same. A man rarely succeeds in keeping his children topeher. If they sre very young a woman's care Is imperative, and where poverty prevents the hiring of nurses, the charitable Institution is the alternative. If a widow Is left with a family the chlldTva stand a better chance, 'or not only Is It a notor-io-'s fact that a mother will work harder and more effectively than a left dependent on New York's public charity through the desertion of the parent Is reckoned by the thousands.

Vew Tork gives more largely to charity than any other city and Ita methods are most severely criticised. Nearly $8,000,000 was contributed last year, almost half of which went to In stitutions for the d "ute. It has been twlrersally agreed, however, that the best means for caring for the waifs of great cities Is by providing them with home in country families. The precaution of first making rare that the child' parents or relatives will ever be able or willing to care for It is urged. When this point has been father to keep t-e brood together, but J established end a family can be found Tilled Celebrities. Edward VII, King of England and Emperor of l&dla, is imposing enough but such a slender collection of word:: would never serve to fire the Oriental Imagination, and the Sultan of Turkey Is known as "The Finest Pearl of the Age and the Esteemed Centre of the Universe, at Whose Grand Portals Stand the Camels of Justice and Mercy and to Whom the 'Eyes of the Kings and Peoples in the West have been Drawn; Lord and Mister, the Sultan of Two Shores and the High King of Two Seas, the Crown of Ages and the Pride of All Countries, the Greatest of all Khallfs, the Shadow of God on Earth, the Successor of the Apostle of the Lord of the Universe and the Vic torious Conquerer Sultan Abdul-Hamld Khan." The kings of Ava and Ceylon each calmly appropriated to themselves the attributes of divinity and proelalmrd themselves "God." to which Ills Majesty of Ava added "King of Kincs whom all others must obey, as be L the Preserver of all Animals, the Re gulator of Seasons, the Absolute Mas ter of the Ebb and Flow of the Sea Brother to the Sun and King of the Four and Twenty Umbrellas," an anti climax essentially Oriental. The Persian Shun takes his title upon the Instalment plan, making up In number what each laks in length He is "Shahin Shah." "King of Kings," "The Rose of Dellcht." "The Branch of nonor," and others of note, to say nothing of what his subjects call him among themselves. Perhaps the oddest and most truth ful of them all Is the title of the King of Monomopotapa, who was styled "Lord of the Sun and the Moon, Great Magician and Great Thief." After such glories as these European monarchs might be forgiven envy, though It la not apparant that such has developed, and democratic King Edward la content with Tour Majesty or even "Sir."
