EABLY WIRELESS MESSAGES. A corre- spondent of The Sunday Times states that a learned Italian Jesuit and historian named Strada, some three hundred years ago, told

LISSAUER'S ' THE HYMN OF HATE.' Can this be obtained anywhere in Engknd, in German or English, with the music or with- out? The papers have lately described our

the story of two friends who, by means of a soldiers as catching it up from the enemy magnetized dial-plate, inscribed with four- | trenches, and gleefully adopting it; but it

and-twenty letters, were able to communi- I does not appear cate with each other, even though miles | streets, apart. Where can one find this authen- tically recorded?

J. LANDFEAR LUCAS. Glendora, Hindhead, Surrey.

[Addison in No. 119 of The Guardian, 28 July, 1713, notices at some length Strada and his sympathetic needles. See also the articles on ' Strada and Wireless Telegraphy ' at 9 S. ii. 184, 276, 471, 517; and ' Electric Telegraph Anticipated,' 10 S.ii. 66,135.]

FLEETWOOD MISCELLANY. (11 S. vi. 43, 331.)

THERE is an error in MRS. F. H. SUCKLING'S notes at 11 S. vi. 331, regarding the Marquis

each with two most excellent yards perfectly dry of Wmc hester. The reference should be to

and a range of lienin sufficient for the reception of two hundred head of cattle."

BOOK ON LAUREL HOUSE, LOWTON. Some thirty years ago a friend at Southport offered to lend me a book giving the history of Laurel House, Low ton, near Leigh. Through his leaving the neighbourhood I missed getting it. Can any of your readers give me any information about either the book or the house?

J. A. CLARKE.

William Paulet, third Marquis, who died 24 Nov., 1598.*

MRS. SUCKLING has made a slight slip in the reference to the letter to Dudley Carleton; the writer was John (not Thomas) Chamberlain (Cal. S.P. Dom. Eliz., v. 152). She has adduced evidence which renders it tactically certain that Mrs. Gifford was >ir Gerrard Fleetwood's daughter by his second wife, Mary Dutton.

'Burke's Peerage,' and 'D.N.B.' The mis- take originated in Berry's ' Hampshire Pedigrees,' p. 268. The same confusion with the first Marquis (also named William) is repeated in Woodward's 'History of Hampshire,' i. 416, and in ' Papers and Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club,' vi. 50.
