Thus every railway car becomes a movable
telegraphic station.
It IS exceedingly interesting also 10 note
how the telephone has been utilized In this in
~vention. AT the end OF the line in the rail
way station Office Il telephone receiver Is
placed, so that TO the operator there the buzz
Eing sound mad by the spelling out Of the
Morse alphabet on the car come through the
telephone.
These are the main features OF this inven-
ton. Its first practical appliance has been
ON the New York, New Haven and Hartford
railway. II is operated between the Harlem
river station and the New Rochelle junction,
a distance OF IL miles. Three miles OF the dis
lance are trcstlework, md the track crosses
two rivers by drawbridges. This route was
probably selected because 1t presents nntur-
ally every obstacle TO the success of the plan
that would be apt TO occur. Yet the final
experiment was wholly successful. While
the train was moving at the rate of 40 miles
an hour the conductor telegrnphed a message
10 Mr.. Phelps at the end Of the line, and re
ceived his reply.
Thus one more noble appliance for the
safety Of railway trains and passengers has
apparently been perfected Had Il been in
use when the Tay bridge went down in the
storm with n loaded railway train the world
might have Known something about that
frightful disaster.

The process by which mild steel is mad
has produced a revolution In metal work. Il
has been found tina In the manufacture OF
piping steel can be largely substituted not
only for iron, hut for lead, brass and copper
as we'll Five years ago 1t occurred to the
president OF n company that manufactured
brnss and copper seamless pipe TO try whether
mild steel could not be substituted for those
metals. He experimented on the matter with
perfect success. Drawn steel pipe was made
by the same process and same tools
and machinery employed for the brass
aud copper pipe. Steel was cheaper than
either bras or copper, consequently seam
less steel pipe began ut once to be sub
stituted for tubing Of those metals. Il will
hereafter be used instead Of iron for gaspipe.
not being subject TO leakage, as iron pipes
are. The steel Is 50 much stronger than iron.
Il has been found, too, that the mild steel can
be used most ad~vantageously in the manu-
facturo Of milk cans, A steel milk can is a
novelty worth seeing, and IL is said to be rs
useful as It IL new. No amount OF whnng-
banging can hurt II. The new process Is also
being applied to the making of clock springs.
But that was not all. To the surprise OF
the experimenters, Il was found that the
process Of drawing the tubing changed the
character OF the steel II became regularly
tempered and elastic. Il would spring back
when compressed, and rang like II bell when
struck with a hammer. Tests showed also a
marvellous increase in strength of the cold
drawn steel. The metal OF n steel boiler only
one-t hirtieth OF an inch in thickness bore a
pressure OF COO pounds to the square inch.
Then all at once il occurred 10 the expert
menters to wonder whether a gun-barrel
could not be made OF this unique new process

SCIENCE PROGRESS


T~elegrapliing from n Railway Train
An important invention has been perfected
by Mr.. Lucins J. Phelps. 1t is m arrange
ment of machinery by which a running rail
way train Is enabled 10 telegraph from any
point on the route TO any station behind or
before il. Thus collisions and dangerous
accidents may be avoided. Passengers win
: also be able tosend messages as easily ms from
n station.
The principle Of which Mr.. Phelps has
hvailed himself in this invention is based upon
a curious fact. II is known that, however
perfectly electric wires are insulated, a GER
tain amount Of the fluid always escapes
Further, II two virus are placed alongside
each other, without touching, and an electric
current Is passed. through one wire, a current
win also pass through the other, in an oppo-
site direction. Thus the complete circuit,
which must always exist In electrical trans
mission, establishes itself between the two
wires. This communication OF electricity
from one wine to another through which no
current has been passed is called electrical in
duction- By means Of electrical induction
the system OF telegraphing has been applied
by Mr.. Phelps 10 trains In motion. An In
sulated telegraph wire Is run along the rail
way track. II Is boxed up in wooden boards
and placed I'm the track midway between the
two rails, rs seen in the illustration

The tournure Is an established fact in fash
ION, and with It, Of course, comes an increased
width OF skirts; this mainly in the back.
where the skirt is usually laid In broad double
or triple box-plaits its ~length-these caught
by tapes underneath two or three times, in
double-finger lengths apart, then If pressed In
place they remain in folds. There Is but
little plating, putting and ruffiing seen; all of
this seems to be left for basques and round
waists. The melon, the surplice, the shirred
whist, all are very popular, and vests, plas-
irons of every shape, revers, berthes, brstelles,
straps, forks, tongues and buckles, all serve
10 build up and make a special prominence of
the upper part of the dress.
OF combinations there is no end; even the
satins n prints have the plain and figured
side by side, as II one never thought of pur-
chasing a plain frock.
Skirts are made with broad panel plaits on
the front and sides, with fans of perhaps a
contrasting material or color from the knee
down, the top of the plaits ornamented
with embroidery or the new Transparent
braiding that is destined to have an i'm
portant place in fashions usage the coming
season. This Is made of fiat worsted braid
in two different widths, arranged ia open
broad patterns, that, often of a width to
trim the panel plaits as described, are still
wider to form distinct panels, and then
formed in narrower designs for other parts
Of the costume.
The transparent paneling is found to be a
very effective trimming for the princess, that
is popularity revived, with other old-time
freaks. The back Of princess has two full
broad box-plaits, the broad panels Of braid
trim the sides, and smaller made pieces Of
the braid form collar, cuffs, and perhaps a
vest turning at the basque line with jacket
effect TO the panel sides.
The oval plastron is reproduced on both
silk and wool suits, closing at the throat,
drawn or sloped back over the bust, and
again closed at the top Of the darts or at the
waist line.
The gathered vest is still in vogue, though
IL has lost tho Fedora ~fullness or hagginR Of
last season.
Pockets are again added on the fronts of
basques, and why's are found once more for
pockets In the skirts of dresses; doubtless be-
fore the season is over square or diagonal
pockets win be added 10 the sides of skirts.
Polonaises are severely plain; the fronts
are usually open from the basque line. The
back has added fullness that forms in plai.s.
undraped, and sometimes IA broad sash with
very long loops md short ends Is added

A new invention of great interest to paper
makers and tobacco growers is announced
from Waverly, N. Y. W. W. Bennett, OF
that place, has discovered a process FOR utiliz-
ing the hitherto useless stalks and stems OF
the tobacco plant as a substitute for wood
pulp In the manufacture of paper. Tho idea
Is comparatively simple, and II the results
are as striking as represented, win prove
OF great value to manufacturers the to-
bacco pulp, it Is claimed, producing a
much stronger paper than wood, at a much
smaller cost. Samples OF paper made by
this process under favorable conditions show
comparatively few defects, and the strength
Is said to have been successfully tested by
lifting a 100-pound boy on a single broad
sheet. A great point in the manufacture OF
the pulp is the fact that only the ordinary
machinery found in every paper mill Is ne
quired-beaters, rotary and grinding ma
chines-while wood has 30 be skinned,
stripped, relieved Of knots and rotten
parts, and grated The average quality
OF wood used loses from sixty TO eighty per
cent. in waste, and the most expensive chem
teal process Of reducing IL to pulp brings the
amount OF waste down only 10 hfty-two per
cent Tobacco stalk, however, reduced by a
purely mechanical process to a bone-dry
pulp, shows "A waste Of only Ave per cent II
the new invention proves successful It will
be hailed with delight by tobacco farm
ers as well as by paper makers; for the
tobacco stalk has always been a bur
den, good for nothing save manure. A thou
sand and one unsuccessful attempts have
been made to utilize II for almost every con
ceivahle purpose, aud the patent Office con-
tains the relics OF numerous chimerical in
veutions. Now, however, the farmers can
nave the stuff taken of their hands, and can
secure as much anu as before from the
juice extracted in the process Of reduction.
The tobacco plant, as Is known, furnishes one
of the toughest Of hbres.

The boxed-up telegraph wire runs along the
track the whole length Of the road.
That Is the first part OF the plan Tho
second part consists OF the arrangement within
the car. Between It's forward and rear trucks,
full length, underneath the floor, the other
wire, called the induction coil, ans This wire
isof copper, coiled many times 90 times In Mr..
Phelps invention 30 rs TO make a strong trans
mitter or receiver Of the electric impulses. The
oblong coil Of wire is covered with rubber hose.
1t is then put inside a gas-pipe and placed in
position beneath the car, Immediately over
the central track wire upon the ground. The
distance between the two Is about Z inches.
So strong, however, were the electric i'm
pulses passing between the wire upon the
ground and that underneath the car that In
the trial trip, upon q double track, a message
was sent from the car over n wire upon the
other track, though 1t was four feet below
that on which the car was running. We are
only in our infancy as far as knowledge Of
the possibilities OF electricity goes
The induction coll runs a wire up through
the floor in a corner OF the car. There the
telegraphic receiving and sending machine is
placed, and there the messages are clicked
out that run TO and fro. This Is a polarized
relay instrument, also designed by Mr.. Phelps.
II is 20 finely constructed as to catch and
transmit the most delicate electric impulses.
