Train telegraphy without wires is the
English way, The 'systern was con-
ceived by Sir Oliver Lodge and Dr. Alex-
ander Muirhead. Their biggest probleni.
has been with the aerial line. In order
to make tests under the most disadvan-
tageous conditions an old car was used
as a receiving station. The aerial wires
were carried on porcelain insulators, the
height of the wires varying from nine
to fifteen inches above the curvature of
the roof. From the roof the wires are
carried lilt a small cable through a speoial
'mutated- etting to the interior of the,
.van to the receiving' instrument; here
the message is written by a Lodge -Muir -
heed siphon recorder. The transmitting
station is situated in a hut near Derby
with an installation 8f apparatus for
sendhig'the message into the air. Out-
side the cabrn is the aerial wire, which
follows conventional, lines, being sup-
., ported .upon masts forty 'feet from the
ground t and 'connected, with a spark
gap and colt for increasing th,e strength
of the electrical impelse discharged from
the. transmitting instruments at the sta-
tion, The experimenters find the great-,

teESSON WORD STUDIES.
e •
•Notere-These Word Studies are based
on the text of the Revised Version.
• The Lord's D.—The Lord's Day, or
Christian Sunday, was not intended
from the first to be a substitute for the
Jewish, Sabbath. Spored in the thought
.and .inemory of the apostles and their
*suceeesors as the day on which Jesus
ha,d resell from thee dead, it was conse-
crated almost from thetime of the
Resurrection as a- day oil.which the dis-
ciples .gathered together, for the Purpose
of worship and for the breaking of
bread. But as a matter .of fact, tha
Jewish Sabbath also vvas observed for
a long time after Christ, evere,,in Chile!
tier' circles, the two days being clearly
distinguished -from eac,h other down to
'about the Oae df the.third century af-
ter Christ. Gradually the observance of
the Jewish 'Sabbath fell into disuse
among the Christians, while at the same
time the sacredness- of the Lord's pay
increased to them. It is not quite ac -
aerate therefore to consider the Chris-
tian. Sunday to have been intentionally
substitpled efor the %Jewish Sabbath.
Bather must we consider the latter to
have been abolished In the Christian
church and the Lord's day to have been
given the preference as a day of rent
and worship. As one commentator puts
it: " "The observance of the' first day of
the veeek is an .analogous institiathm
(analogous te the Jewish 'Sabbath which
had been abolished), based' on the cone,
secretion of that day by our Lord's
liessareotiofi, senetioned by apostolic
usage, and accepted by the early
churele—the •day being set apart- for
similar objects—rest from, labor and the
servite of God,—in a, manner consonant
with the higher raid more ',spiritual
teachings of Christ, and to be observed
in the spirit" of loyal) Christian freedoha
rather than by obedieriee to a system ef
precise statutes." It is neeessary to hold
these facto continually'in mind In order
heteappretiate the true significance of
the Chrietian. Sunday and its °actual re-
lation, which ke that of similarity only,
to the Jewish or Old Testament Sabbath.

There are a number of hotels, and
every hotel' has a well patronized bar.
There are two clubs, one known as
"The Ranchers" and another` as 'The,
Alberta." The Ranchers' Club is largely
composed of the sons of rich of rich

ultra fashionable. The Alberta, Clete
is mostly business men; comprising the
real e,state dealers, merchants, whole.
hale and retail, and other prominent
characters who want to make Calgary
great. As for the Ranchers they do not
care a cent for Calgary, and are more
interhsted in polo than politics. '
RANCHERS FROM NOBILITY.
Among the characters of Calgary are
the remittance men. They are the young-
el- sons of wealthy or noble English
families, who are out here to make their
fortunes and grow up with the country.
Some have come because their people
did not want them at home, and others
because they Uked the wild life of the
prairies, which, until recently; has cor-
responded somewhat with Ithaling'fi de-
eaription of "the country east ef Suez" --
Where the best is like the worst—
,
Where there OA no ten command-
thents -
And a tna.n can raise a thirst.
These remittance men get a certain
sum of money, every month, orevery
quarter, and most of thetn spend it in
drinking and carousing. Many are "ne'er
'do wells," and they sink lower and low-
er, relying entirely on their remittences
keepethern. going. I know, for, in-
stance, 'one son or an English lord
whom, youmaysee almost any day here
hanging oyer the bar, and another who
wiletgladherborrovi a quarter or * you if
he Mites you in the leen days prior 'to
the next' remittance. e
(Ahem of. these men keep themselves
straight:. They bring money .with them;
invest it and make- it breed like Ales -
neaten rabbits, but at the- same time
, they are full of ,sport, and. spend 'freely.
One of these is a son of an admiral of
the British, nen. His name is Cochrane
and he Is, said to have made a' fortune
of his,ONVII in ranching and 'other 'invest-
rnents. He has .one bigrangenear Cal-
gary .on which he keeps 6,000 of the
Wildest of Canadian cattle. Every ,year
or so he brings in a new instalment
