Within a few moDtbs, and probably early In the spring, the towns of Wran gell and Petersburg, Alaska, will be placed In communication with the United States snd the rest of the world by wireless telegraph. Information has just reached the offices of the United States signal corps in Seattle that the installation of wireless stations at the above named places has been ordered by the government, and the equipment for the stations, consisting of dynamos, instruments and poles, has already been shipped from the east. The stations to be erected at Wran gell and Petersberg are links in a chain of wireless depots which will in a short time coverall parts of Alaska. Already the United States government is cover ing more inland territory by wireless than auy other nation in the world, and when the entire number of stations proposed for Al.tska are completed, Uncle Sam will boast the greatest num ber of stations on the globe.

It is not too much to say of "Martiu Edeu" that it possesses more of fascina tiou aud virility, grips the imagination and the tympatbies more keenly, and imparts more of courage, than any book produced in years.
