A system of sending and receiving wire)re* telephone message* at the same time, as Is done In wire lines; a “barrage rerelrer,” which ebnts out the sound of all wireless rb bration except those which the operator wishes to bear, and a system rapid and Mediate photography wireless message became known lo the public for the first time recently, although government naval station* have been experimenting with them for Engineer* of the General Electric company at Schenectady are responsible for each of the InventionR.

dmoltaaeous sending and receiving would have to be Invented before wireid ephooy would ever become commercially practice We. Switching from one apparatus to another to send and deceive would be annoying and delaying. For Instance, the user of the telephone on this ride of the Atlantic says: “Hello" Into the mouthpiece. Then he has to switch to another apparatus to catch the answer from Europe. And perhaps hia friend oversea* I* doing thing, and the attempt at conversation develops Into a sort of hide-and-reek game. There was also the problem of bringing the wireless telephone to the borne of the user, one ha* to travel to Washington or New Ilrunswick to nae the wireless telephone It la scarcely a saver of time or money. Doctor Alexanderaon b~s devised a system of separate sending and receiving antennae, the sending sod receiving stations Interconnected Ly a wire line and further connected to the exchange of the local telephone system, so that all Mrs. Jones has to do when she wants to find out what Mr. Jones la doing ’In Paris tonight la to go to her telephone and ask. not for toll operator, but for tbs wireless op-

Hog* •»« frequently troubled with a number of ailments more or leas serious which, particularly In season* of cholera outbreak*, go unnoticed or possibly are diagnosed as c*k er* Itself. One albnect vary prevalent In late spring and summer, especially in pig*, k necrobocUloris. While this disease assumes various forms the one commonly not’d In herd* are necrotic rhinitis, a condition generally known as “sniffles." and necrotic eotrill*. The pigs affected by the first-named disease eat but tittle and sneeze repeatedly, often expelling a bloody material. Eeskms are sharply defined by lamps or swelling* occurring on some ports of the head or face, usually on the snout. Host effective treatment can be made when these first appear. They should be opened and tbe pus which they contain removed, and one of the following remedies applied in the opening with o syringe : Glycerin 15 pari* and rerbolie arid 1 part, or nitric arid 1 part and water 6 parts, or a 50 per cent solution of lodln. Cholera Symptom*. In the second form mentioned, necrotic eo Iritis, tbe animals affected develop symptoms somewhat akin to bog chillers. Often there is a lack of appetite, and while diarrhea Is not constant. It Is frequently noticed In tne enrly development of this form. The jigs become unthrifty, emaciated, and weak. However, tbe absence of red spots on tbe bellies and the normal or at time* subnormal temperature of tbe animal} dlfferaitiate the ailment from cholera. In this form, a* In the first remedy must be nsed before the disease has progressed. Peed nod so-called stock food and tonics that may contain Irritating lngred»ents should be avoided, green posture* being preferable If available. A physic of oil, such as Unseed or castor ol^ to dea- out the bowels. Is recommended. Intestinal antiseptic* are In order. The following has been nsed nod foend beneficial: Copter snlphote 1 part, hyposulphite of soda 4 parts, charcoal 2 part*, and common salt 6 part* Give one keeping tee spoonful of this mixture to

every 100 pounds of live weight In slop oc milk, night and morning for about a week. Other antiseptic* such as sulphocarbolate* iron sulphate. etc, can be used to advantage.

Sot even all of the 125 cases of total blinder** died. It Is stated, have yet been declared as permanent by tbe medical officers in charge. Relative to amputation*. denial Is made, on the authority of Surgeon General Ireland and Col. Cfcarie* E. Banks, chief mcdlcnl officer of the war risk Insurance, that there were any case* In which men loot both arm* and both leg*. There have been more Mum 500 artificial limbs furnished to disabled men

to date by the bureau under the provisions of the act Of coogrcs* “Upon being discharged from war department hospitals as unfit lor further service, all men disabled a* a result of Injury pr disease suffered to line of duty, are entitled to the benefit* of the war Tu.- Insurance act," th* statement aay* “If their condition demands further treatment they ere entitled to medical attention In one of a large number of hospitals’now being established throughout the eoun try. to be <>i>erMed by tfie public health service.

In this disease, as In all other disease* of animal* tbe sane, simple and effective method to adopt Is the one of prevention. While necrobadllosls Is not rapidly infection* still the whole herd Is In d-nger. In that the pigs all have the same npply of germs from which to feed. As In all disease* the germs of this disease must be destroyed In order to prevent the ailment; therefore the key to prevention to this also Is proper sanitation of premise* Fro qnent and thorough cleaning out of pen* troughs, feeding floor*, sheds and hog lots is an Important factor of preventive measure*. In addition to thorough cleaning at frequent Intervals a litieral quantity of lime ait'told be applied to pen* house* and adjoining lot* Proper care In feeding also will eliminate ranch of tfats trouble. Pig* sbotes and other bogs should not be allowed to feed from the ground, gnltab.e feeding floor* preferably concrete. and troughs of some none hsorbeot material that can be denned ouL washed and disinfected frequently, •re recommended. These equipment* whll^ meaning a little added expense, nevertheless will pay for tbemariree In a short time from the Raving of feed and the protection of the animals' health. “An ounce of prevention to

worth a pound of cure."
