A new KIND
OF TELEPHONE.
A Minister Improves the Old Kind Of
Talking Machine.
New Kind Of Electric Road-Exploring Africa
by Means Of Electricity An Elec-
trical Farmer-A Word for Gas

The next few months will probably see
some important developments in the tele-
phonlc field. This month the carbon-trans-
mtter patent will run out and the Bell tele-
phone is now open to the world. No one
will be surprised and few disappointed il
the telephone monopolists who have so long
held the field to the prejudice of public in
terests. are ousted from their position.
Added to the present situation of the eX-
piration of master patents, the Introduction
of far more powerful receiver than any
hitherto known would have a powerful
effect in the extension Of telephone Sys-
tens. conjoined, rs it probably would be,
with prompt and courteous service.
new invention Of this nature has ap-
peared, and is being pushed with great en-
ergy and considerable prospect of success
IN England by its inventor, Arthur II. Col
lier. Congregational minister of Sydney,
New South Wales. This instrument, under
the name of the Collier audible telephone,
gives great volume of sound, by reason
both OF the greater activity of its magneti-
cation and also from the additional mag
netc variations that 90 on in the core. BY
combining these IDEAS and using two dia-
phragmS the telephone receiver is rendered
far more sensitive, and its sound is very
much louder and more distinct. 1t is said
that the sound from Collier telephone en-
tlTely oyerpOwers that from Bell receiver
on the same circuit, almost to the same de-
gree that shout ovarpOwers whisper.
The sound is nearly of sufficient volume to
I'LL q small room.
singular result of this increase in sound
Is that difficulty which has always existed
with telephones in India is now overcome.
The natives of one caste will not use the in
strument placed against the ear of a native
of another caste, and it is no longer neces-
sary TO place the telephone close to the ear
In order to hear speech.
The sensitiveness of the new instrument
is said to be phenomenal Oae of the first
telephone experts in Englani, in reporting
on a number of tests made under different
conditions, says: The Collier instrument
is unsurpassed, and will be generally pre-
ferred in practice. From the experiments
made. l am satisfied that conversation with
his instrument without the aid OF micro
phone could be carried on with distinc:ness
and comfort over line of 5000 miles" This
Is strong testimony, and skilled opinions
from other sources tend to confirm the be-
lief that the telephone is on the eve OF
developments far beyond anything hitherto
regarded as possible.

ii man or woman. particularly the lat
ter, wishes to preserve good looks and avoid
wrinkles in the face, he or she must wear
glasses. l noted score OF faces on the
street, and each face was wrinkled very
much, because the suns rays poured down
with binding heat. and it was impossible to
avoid it. The wrinkling of the face was an
involuntary action of the muscles to protect
the eyes. and the squirting look that was
apparent on each face was an indication
that the eyes were suffering from the
Intensely bright rays of the sun. In
each case the eyes were weak, not weak
enough to interfere with the power of
sight, bnt nevertheless weak enough to be
apparent. The constant blinking and sQuint-
ing produced permanent contraction of
the muscles and corrugated the skin of the
face. so that after while wrinkles would
appear.
There were three things to be done. To
avoid wrinkles, and the puckered appear
ance Of the face under the eyes, a person
with weak eyes should habitually carry
parasol or umbrella. This course is not
always practicable. So, when it is not pos
siele to carry parasol or an umbrella, a
person should always keep the eyes closed
when not in use, for instance, when riding
in the cars. The third means of avoiding
wrinkles and the contraction of the muscles
under the eye is to wear spectacles. This
latter means of protection is not likely to
be adopted by many people, particularly by
many Of the fair seX.-InteryleW with an

New Glass of Electric Roads.


There are now many Indications that
electric rairoading is about TO undergo
remarkable developments Hitherto cleo
tricity has been used mainly for city and
suburban traffic and for comparatively
short lines, but this restriction will no
longer hold. The Pennsylvania Railway
Company propose to run au electric line
from Jersey City to Newark, which will be
of the greatest possible value in supple
mentiug their present steam service, and an
electric railway is projected to run from
Asheville to Rutherford, N. c., a distance
OF forty-one miles, the current for which
will be generated by water power In ad-
dition 10 these lines is the proposed
elevated electric railway between Milwau-
kee and Chicago, on which it is intended to
make the trip IN one hour. As the distance
between the two points is eighty-five miles.
this means a speed of about a mile and a
half minute. The company which is ex-
plotting this road is sanguine of securing
Its right OF way on much lower terms than
would be possible for steam road. Only
twenty-five feet in width will be re-
quired against the 100 feet demanded by
the steam traction. II is also claimed
that the surrounding property will in no
way be deprecated, as there will be no
smoke and cinders. and as the tracks Will
be elevated no danger TO stock or human
life will be possible. 1t is not intended to
carry freight; the traffic will be confined to
passengers and mail and express matter.

Electric Lights in African Exploration.
An entirely new element has been intro
duced into the exploration of tracts of coun-
try Inhabited by savage tribes. After the
British South African Company had OBJ
tanned permission from the Government to
occupy MashoDaland. it raised body of
men to cut road from the Macloutsie
River, Bechuanaland. to Mount Hampden,
In Matabeleland. The line of the proposed
road was invested with sayages, and the ex-
plorlng party was in danger Of being beset
all along it. During the day they were
fairly safe, for sharp look out could be kept
ID front OF the column. Night, however, is
the fayorlte time for the attack of the saw
ages, and to put the camp in q position to
guard against the constant menace OF its
sleeping inmates novel methodwas adopted.
Before the column started from kimber-
ley portable six-horSe power en-
CINE was taken off its carriage and built
into Cape wagon. The engine was used
to drive DYNAMO for an electric search
light of 10000 candle power. In passing
through doubtful country this light was
placed upon stand high enough to throw
Its rays all over the country, and it not only
prevented the maSsing OF bodies of sayages
In the neighborhood of the camp, but also
deferred them from hostiliiies by the awe
Which tie great, far-reaching beam of light
inspired. After about two months march 1t
was f0unG necessary to rest the column and
strong position was taken upon the banks
OF the Tuli River. The machine guns and
the SeYen-pounders and the search light
were taken TO the top of commanding hill,
and the camp was formed Immediately be-
meath After remaining here without mo-
leStation for q few days the party went
on to its final destination. Tie friendly
search light was of more value to the ex-
petition than a regiment of soldiers.
