A trial from a Chicago life-saving
ed that the distance to. which signals
can be sent is much grea-ter where no
obstruction lies between the sending
and receiving station. Words by the
dots and dashes were received !n this
case at a distance of more than a
mile and a half from the life-saving
station.
Many applications have been sug
gested s for this system, mostly for
special cases In military and naval op
erations. The energy of the sending
station, as arranged at present, is
however, wasted, because the Impulses
are propagated with equal Intensity
In j every direction. This propagation
in every direction, of course, makes It
poeible to Intercept the message ?it

The doctors inform ua that alum Is a
poison, and that sJum baking powders
should be avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. - Prominent hy-
gienista. who have given the matter
moat atudy. regard these powders as
an evil that should be suppressed by
tate action. In Minnesota and Wis
consin alum powders are; not permitted
to be sold unless they are branded to
warn consumers of their true charac

tkra of Congress,! adopted regulations
