GENERAL CABLES.

TEACHING PATRIOTISM. By Telegraph-—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Nov. 3, 7.40 p.m. London, Nov. 2. The annual meeting of the Royal Society of Saint George adopted a resolution, in Mr. Rudyard Kipling s name, advocating the systematic teaching of patriotism, not only in schools, but in universities, '-by founding chairs of patriotism. MURDERER ACQUITTED. Paris, November 2. The jury acquitted Muller, a young workman, charged with having murdered the legal representative ’of the company where he was employed. Muller lost his right arm in an accident, and was awarded £2O annually, but demanded £4O. When this was refused he shot the firm’s representative dead. Muller at his trial pleaded that the refusal to increase his pension made it impossible for him to support his mother. Several of the jury burst into tears and acquitted Muller, who received the cheers of those in the court. SECRET WIRELESS. Paris, November 2. M. Edouard Bolin has invented a method of securing secrecy for wireless messages. It broadly consists in alternations of silence. Effective transmission means a synchronised sending and receiving apparatus according to an understanding previously arranged, as well as the interspersion of false signals.
