THE cRYToPHoNE FOR WAR.

An Inexpensive Device to Warn Ships of
 Approaching Torpedo Boats.
 The cryptophone, which was designed in 1883, and which was then regarded more as scientific toy than of any practical utility, has been perfected and made available for military and naval purposes. The apparatus consists of 8 highly sensitive vibrator and micro phone suitably arranged in pine box, which is buried two or three feet under the road which it is desired to keep watch over. The apparatus is connected by wires with the indicator at the ob- serving station. The vibrator is so sem sitive that it is affected by the passage of a half dozen men along the road, or by the vibration caused by a cart be- ing driven along within a hundred yards of where it is placed. As soon as the vibrator gives any indication of disturb ance the land wires are connected with telephone, and the noise made by the traffic can then be distinctly heard and the direction in which the movement Is taking place can be determined.
 The cryptophone is equally effective for naval purposes. For some time diff fculty was found in keeping the inside watertight and in equalizing the inter nal and external pressures, so as not to destroy the sensitiveness of the vibrat ing needle or the tension of the dia- phragm. This, however, was at length successfully accomplished and most satisfactory tests have been carried out in France. The instrument can be used not only for ordinary signaling pur- poses between one ship and another, but for announcing the approach of au- other ship during fog. In the expert ments in Cherbourg harbor, the regular thud of the screw of a vessel entering or leaving the harbor over mile away was clearly perceptible It is said that four cryptophones, costing altogether about four hundred dollars, placed on board an ironclad would be sufficient to warn the ship of an approaching torpedo-boat and to indicate the di- rection in which it is travelling. friaitxy

A FIELD DAY.
The Democrats Gathered at La
monte in Numbers.

Yesterday was one of the most
interesting days in the history of
LamOnte. There was vast CAT her.
ing of the yeomanry of the land. 1t
was democratic day, and the enthusi-
assn manifested was of that kind that
wins victories.
People came on foot, ON horseback,
in buggies, carriages, wagons and bv
train until the thriving town was one
vast sea of humanity.
The Sedalia Military band was
there and from time to time discoursed
most excellent music.
I. {. Hornbuckle. of Warrensburg,
in the morning, delivered a spirited
address, overlooking with good sound
sense and convincing argument.
In the afternoon Hon. W. H. Wal
lace, of Kansas City, entertained the
audience. He spoke for more than
three hours, andnOt soul grew weary.
1t was a soothing arraignment of the
republican party and its methods, and
a magnificent vindication of the de-
mocracy of Missouri.
AT night able addresses wero made
by Prosecuting Attorney Suddorth,
of Warrensburg and the next Prose
cutting Attorney of Pettis, Hon. W.
ID. Steele.
1t was grand day for LamOnte.

He stood in a saloon Keeling up to
the bar with glass of beer before

He grated his teeth-just to see
what he could do.
"You make me nervous, said the

humOr.
"Move out if you don't like it. its
a free country-it is" he said as he
looked deiantly at the adjuster of
drinks who was preparing to close the
place for the night.
The drinker, who was drunk. Is

The Word Sheeny.

Editor BdooO:
Please let reader know why the
term "sheeny" is applied to the Jews.
+. F.
There is no authentic information
on that subject, but it is probably de-
rived from the Hebrew letter "Sheen."
This Is the first letter of the Hebrew
word pronounced :.'Schema, which is
the first word of the Jewish creed, and
of course, in constant Use with relig-
ious members of that faith. The letter
is symbolic of the creed. and the prob
abilities are that some mischievOus
imp, seeing it posted upon the walls
of many members of the faith, added
a ~" to it and thus created a nick
name.

have made a good impression. As il

MORE MYSTERY.
Interest Revived in the Unac.
countable Death of Fred
w. Edmonson.

The death of Fred w. Edmonson,
colored, some two weeks ago, will be
remembered by the readers of the
BAZOO.
The chain of circumstances con-
nected with the affair is about at fol-
lows:
One day in last July several men,
bers of Samuel BoswelPs family, col
ored. who live on East Seventeenth
were badly poisoned by coffee, the water
used in it having been taken from
well in the yard and had stood over
night. Sickness ensued to everyone
who partoOk of the beverage, but, for
tunately, there were no fatal results
then.
Nothing was thought seriously of
the matter at the time, and the trOub-
lie was well nigh forgotten.
Another misfortune also befell the
Boswells in that, one night, their barn
and all its contents were destroyed by
fire. No one seemed to know the
origin Of the fire. but it was generally
attributed 10 incendiarism.
About three weeks ago the Boswells
and Edmonson, who was - wears old,
sat down to lseakfast and drank tea.
In less than FIVE minutes, Edmonson,
who is nephew of Boswell, began to
writhe with pain and cried out in his
agony that he thought his stomach
was burning up. DIR. S. G.. Craw-
ford was hastily called in and did
what he could to allay the mans
misery.
EdmOn>on continued to grow worse
until Fridry afternoon, when DIR. W.
Il. Scales was summoned. Immedi-
ately upon hearing history Of the
case and examining the patient, he ar
rived at the conclusion that it was un-
doubtedly one of poisoning.
He found the sick man in a coma
tOse state, he was almost pulseless, he
was perfectly cold and the muscles in
his legs were drawn into great rigid
knots.
DIR. Scales administered what relief
he could. but informed the relatives
of the patient that there was very lit
tie, if any, hope Of his recovery.
The following day DIR. Herbrt l..
Scales, son of DIR. W. B. Scales, called
to see EdmonSon, and found him at
the point of death. Nothing could be
done then to save his life, and the ne
gro died sometime before noon.
Ii was generally thought that it was
a case of poisoning. The coroner's
jury investigated the case the following
Sunday and reported that Edmonson
"came to his death from causes un-
known"
Recent developments put a very
startling phase on the case. On last
Friday evening parties were engaged
in cleaning out the well when they
discovered a stone, weighing about
a pound, wrapped up in
Il calico rag, underneath which was
some white substance. The rag and
contents were taken to DIR. W. B.
Scales.
Yesterday morning DIR. Herbert
Scales made two tests of the white
substances, and found large quantities
of arsenic. So it seems no longer a
matter of doubt that the water was
poisoned and that EdmOnsOn's death
resulted from drinking it.
Again this morning at o'clock the
house of Boswells was consumed by
fire, together with a portion Of the
contents. The family say there had
been no fire in that portion of the
house where the fire originated.
All throughout it is 4 very myster-
ious case and the recent developments
will lead to thorough investigation.
