Experiment In Heliogrsphic commu-
IicatioD.

WAsgIseroS. July 22.--An interesting q
series OF experiments in beliogrsph COM
munication has jus, been completed in the
Department of Arizona by Msior William
J Volkman. of the army, AMI others. This
is the irst attempt made at long distance
work and is important as developing the
adsptability snl value of photographs The
plan occupied two weeks, during which
time communication WAS almost uninter-
rupted. although the weather vas hszy and
often times cloudy. An interesting nov
city was a successful use of the heliogrsph
on a moonlight night. The general
ohaln of heliograph communication ex
tended from Whipple Barracks, Ariz to
+ ou Stanton. +. VI and covered, with the
% intervening stations and their respective
connections. an aggregate lima of over
1000 miles. The longest range maintained
was 100 miles, between Mt. Graham and
Lookout Peak, the operations being main
tanned throughout the test. other attempts
at long distance work failed, save that
messages were read by the aid of a glass
between Mt. Reno and Mt. Graham, q dis
lance, by the flash, of l25 miles. The
efficiency of the operators and the capacity
of the line were eyinced by the numerous
test messages submitted. One message of
lj6 words IN verse was returned from seven
repeating stations, containing as few
"bulls" as wonld have occurred in tele
graphic transmission OF like matter.

NV ORLEAss, La, July 22.-The Lou
isians Legislature, at its session recently
closed appropriated Sl5 200 rs 4 reward
for the capture of ex-State Treasurer
Burke, now engaged in mining in Hondur-
as. A gentleman lately arrived from there
says number of detectives have gone

ton of kidnapping Major Burka and return
ing him to Louisiana, in the hope of Sc
curing the reward offered by the State.
Major Burke is aware of their mission,
and seems to be very much worried and
nervous. The ex-Treasurer is very popu-
lar with the people of Honduras, and his
mining ops raiions seem to be fairly success
full. he is said to be suffering from very
severe case OF cstarrh. and has had an op-
GRAFTON performed for his relief. His
health other wise is good.
