“WIRELESS” MIRACLES, To shipping tho wireless telegram is an invaluable boon, When the liroonland disabled her steering gear 130 miles west of East-net, she flashed the tidings to tho Crookbavcn station, and in an hour an q half tho skipper had received inslruct'ons front the owners. Many of tho passengers also telegraphed to their friends to allay their anxio'y. When the Friesland broke her propeller shaft she got into (ouch w.lh t'ro Amqnia, which sept home wireless messages indicating the po.-ition of the disab'td- vessel When all ships arc so fitted a id the land stations are also equipped (says an English paper) tho wireless telegraph will save many vessels from clisatcr by informing them of their position. The Ifonlagu might have escaped had there been a wireless install .tion on Lundy, for even in fog, and darkness the messages pass rpri’e clearly. Moreover, tho clhergrain enables t ewspepers to givo rapid tidings o.f matter-, news i f which might otherwise be lung delayed, at d it extends our abjli'y, to foreca-t the weather by giving ticevs of the approaching depressions in tho .'‘ tlantic, But' all this is only ti.e fl.st frui s There is a plentiful crop to c me, L >rd Kelvin believes til t some day it may bj possible for the lit Ic t. Icgi aph inst.u ment to tick out with the cl ctrlo flash messages which will ho rectiv. d in Australia on tho other tide of the veorid; and that in those t rues it will be a general medium of e mmunication. Mr Marconi promises to send te Lgrsrns to Amer ica some day at a pent y a wo.-d ; arrd tho t there who are worktt g in F is He'd will no doubt . contribute to tiro teicili y of intercommunication O’, er vast dir U trees which will ultimilo’y be the' cotumen right of mankind. Storms will never irrteirupt those coimnun : cations, and the interccurso of the bitmap races evil ho fapilitaied aptl cheapened. In the course of years tho wirelc s telegraph will probably be in nil cur houses, ertiur as the adjunct of or the substitute for the tcleph no. .Indeed, o: e daic not attempt to define the porsibi'ities cf this mysterious force, which is controlled by the ticking of a key and the emission of a liglrning spark. Surely it i-fi no exaggera ion to say rlrat wireless telegraphy is tho most astouudiug miracle of modern science.

The reason- why any wholesome food is not xnopbrly digested is because the stomach lacks some important element of digestion. Some stomachs lacli .peptone, others are deficient in gastric juice or hydrochloric acid. The one thing necessary in any case of poor digestion, is to supply those digestive elements which the stomach lacks, and nothing dues this."so thoroughly and ' eafoly as Dr". Sheldon’s Digestive Talmles. They digest what I you cat, thus giving the stomach a rest and assistance'until it is rostered to its normal action and vigor. For sale by A. V/.
