in a experiment of sending me*-
from the top of ihe Kiffel tow. r in
Pans to the dome of St. Paul's cathedral
in Iv>ndon M ireoni's experiments de
m und a vertical wire, while Tsla claims
to send his rre -.-«g- s by an affinity of
sound through any sul»stano»' capable of
transmitting sound or vibration. In a
comparison of statements Ttsla's inv n
tion is the more valuable.
In special correspondence from London
the World prints the following statement,
in which the necessity of air as a trans
mitter is set fortii:
'Most of Euroi*- s really irreat scientists
give th< boy as much c-r*dlt for the dis
covery of the value of the vertical wire
in connection with existing radiators ana
coherers as they would give him if he
had created the whole electrical scheme
utilized ir ii»*w instruments.
"When I suggested to nun to make the
experiment of sending a message from
S- Paul's <atliedr.il to the Eiffel tower,
he modestly shook his head and said:
" 'But how do I know? I have only tel
egraphed twelve miles. What if my In
struments and my system ptove unequal
to tli« great task? I am unwilling to pre
diet anything.'
"But arrangements for the experiment
art at last well under way and will be
made within a few weeks. It involves
the construction or new and more power
ful instruments than are at present in
existence. Mar>onl will attempt to send
the message from St. Paul's in London to
the Eiffel tower in Paris.
"The importance attached to young
Marconi's invention Is shown by the fact
that the Italian government has been ex
perimenting it a cost of S6OO a day for
weeks, has decided that h is the greatest
discovery of the time, and has secured
patent rights for Italy, all other rights
being owned by Marconi and associates
In his company, which has already paid
him over
"Wht n public experiments were con
duct' d In Italy tne enthusiasm of the of
ficials and populace over the seemingly
sup rnatural results reached a point of
almost frenzy, and the young inventor
received such an ovation as falls to the
lot of but few men.

"Experiments made by the «lerman
government «r»- laughed at by German
-i tentlsts. but in Berlin itself Prof. Slaby
carried out the most successful experi
ments by pissing a current, without
wires, through brick walls and other ob
structions. believed to be insurmountable
by his skeptical colleagues. He had been
present at «xp<-riments carried on by
Preece the chief engineer of the govern
ment telegraphs h «lreat Britain. In I<on

and is now carrying on public experi
ments daily to show that no known body
has any effect on the passage of the cur
rent from sender direct to receiver.

wrld will be widely represented at both

SCANDINAVIAN NEWS.
The N'orw- glan st orthins: SfJjnuraM on
the Hh ultimo after the longest and most
important session recorded In the annais
of the country. The session lasted mare
than six months, but the measures
passed justified the length of the session.
Among the taws enacted may be raen
tion«*d the I*app law the agricultural
high sch.w>l law the law allowing csti
xens who are abroad to register their vote
before a Norwegian consul. military Jaw
iaw regulating and fixing the compen*a
ti n and salaries of ministers, the lib,?l
'aw. rhe k law. new gam- laws, and two
expropcia'ion laws !n addition to the ct-5-
ular routine business of the storthing.
8« vera! institutional amendments w.re
proposed, but failed to pass, exceoting

treaty with Japan. revised the tariff, en
acting a protective tariff measure ami
r»-organixed the civil offir'al department.
The law allowing Norwegian citizns
al road to vote 1• f >r« Norß> «ian consuls
was a shrewd political move on the part
of the liberal party. The law will al-
t exclusively affect sailor*. 9!» per
cent, of whom are lib« rals. and when It
is terasmbered that Norway's merchant
marine is the second in the world the
magnitude and timeliness of this law will
be understood. In clos#» districts the
election will be decided by sailors who
are probably thousands of miles away,
but whose vote will be unbiased by any
kxal influences or 'ntimiduion of em
ployer- . Every citizen who has been ab
sent not more than three years is under
tht provisions of this law allowed to
vote. The ballot m ist have been filled
in not more than three months prior to
the day of ihe election, which occurs on
different -Jays in different districts: the
ballot must he of white paper, without
signature or any mark?. The voter may
in his ballot designate the names of the
electors he desires to vote for. or he
n::,y vote The straight party ticket. The
ballot is placed in a sealed letter and
forwarded to the election board by »he
consul at the expens- of the Norwegian
government. If any person who has fo
voted before a consul should die prior to
the day of the election, it becomes the
duty of the consul to at once telegraph
the fact that such voter is dead to the
election board. The consuls receive no
special recompense for this service and
are not permitted to charge the voter for
affixing seal of consulate or forwarding
ballots, but all actual expenses incurred
are paid bv the Norwegian government.
Mr A Chllberg. the Norwegian vi 0-
consul of Seattle, has received blank
ballots, circular letters and instructions
to voters.
Elisa Bjornson's funeral took place the
9th ultimo from Our Savior's church, in
Rev. Lunde officiated, and
Prof Sehonberg ind O. Arvesen. a mem
ber of the storthing, acted as nurshals.
Among the mourners were the not.d Hen
rik Ibsen. Prof. Fri.lthof Nan son. leading
liberal journalists and ar.ists. and the
French actor. Lugne Poe, from the The

Masons, the liberal Prel-ureau, and a
beautiful How. r pie-" from Cand. Arstal.
l>earlng the inscription: "To a great man's
mother."
Mrs. Bjornson was a strong woman and
remarkably youthful in appearance up to
the time of her dea'h. She had a full, but
long face, blue-gray eyes, and reddish
brown hair, which never turned fully gray
Her manner was cordial, but full of dig
nity. She rem lined a devout Christian
to her death. The religious disputes which
her son who is an adtnir r of Ingersoll
waged with the clergy troubled her great
ly, but she never wavered in her loyalty
to him. "It Is a m.itter of conscience with
Bjornstjemc," she would say with some
pri le "but you must not expect, my son.
however many converts you make, that
your mother can be amonit them." «he
sab! to him one day. 'Oh, mother. I
don't flatter mvself with that," he laughed,
as he dr> w her head over on hl« shoulder.
Mrs, RJomson w married very early to
a clergyman and was only 20 years old
when the poet *v:is txirn. When wrote
Synnore Bolbakken. his first peasant novel,
which rained him a lasting reputation,
she was only 40 venrs old
When BJornstjeme us * years old the
parents removed to Romsdalen. ore of the
mn«t picturesque valleys of Norway.
IJJomstJerne was of a dreamy nature, and
to all outward appearance? a dull, drowsy
lad who would fit for hours Idly gazing
at the rifts In the *kie« :md el.iuds between
the mountain peaks or over the er.-en-blue
waters of the fjord. This would tax the
patience of the ftth'r. who exclalmd, "If
only our Bjornstlern« were as bright as
the sexton's boy'" A- *. the wife would
answr: "Oh very * 11; we must wait.
Everything will t irn out r!;:ht in the end."
Mrs Rjornson left t» sons and one
daughter surviving her. The daughter Is
married to a well-known clergyman, and
the «eoond son fills a high official govern
ment position.
The fate of the "Samlag." the liquor

At the sprlnK elections this year the
mI. IKS were abolished hi :wo-thlrds of
the cities and towns, where the question
was submitted to the voters. The effects
have not been as salutary' as some of the
friends of prohibition had exacted.
