A TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE.
Tho Big Electric Flash Light surs to Rev
o'utioniz, the System OF Signalling
Tei-gr~phiug BY Means Of II Distances

Tho Big Electric Flash Light surs to Rev
o'utionizs the System Of Signalling
TeI-gr~phlug by Means Of II . Distance
of s5 Miles.
Mt. WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-[Spe-cial J.
Each day brings proof that the big electric
search light, which Electrician L. b. Rogers
has placed on this summit is going to revo-
lutionize the system of signaling. Letters
and kilograms from various parts Of New
England arrive every day, telling of the
practical value OF the light as means of
transmitting communications when wires
are not at hand or have been severed by one
cause or another.
The distance between this station and
Portland is about 81 miles in bee line, yet
even at that distance q message was flashed
through the air which was read by telegra-
pher on the top of the Western Union
building in that city. The source of the
Union building, but its needle-like beam
shot across the heavens and was clearly out
lined.
Telegraphic communica tion had been es-
tablished between the tower and roof of the
Western Union building, and at $50 o'clOk
the electric light was turned on and the
beam directed toward Portland. The oper-
ator at this station telegraphed over the
wires: "Can you see the beam Of light in
the air?" and the answer came back: Eyes;
/ can see it directly overhead"
Then the Mt. Washington operator wired:
IT am going to telegraph by flash light;
send back instantly by wire the word as
you will get ii. %
Then the key which operates the flash
light>was used, and by the code system of
dots and dashes the name "Mt. Washing
tom was flashed across the sky.
Instantly after the completion of the last
word the little ticker repeated the words
which were sent back BY wire by the Port
land operator. Other messages were also
sent.
During the past week there have been
superb weather conditions, and many fea-
lures with regard to the lights pene-
trating power have been developed.
At Maplewood, 20 miles distant, 1t was
possible to read print. On another occasion
lady read letter on the piazza of Sunset
Pavilion, North Conway, BY the light of
the big flash light. That was covering a
distance of 20 miles At Littleton, %
miles away 1t was possible to read book.

FORGING INTO SIX FIGURES.
A Sharper Vlctim'zing Eastern Banks With
Myriads Of Small Bogus Checks.

<A oadA Per Euos6Fh ASohhs WIN
Myriads Of Small Bogus Checks.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-To-day brought to
the notice of the bankers of Chicago a care
fully planned scheme of forgery. The name
assumed by the sharper is R. j, Whipple;
the place of operating Boston, Providence
and New York. The checks are drawn on
the Atlas National Bank of this city. and SO
far as has been discovered are made payable
to j. s. Stevenson, by whom they are en-
dorsed.
They are first cashed by some seaside
hotel keeper and by him placed in the bank.
The checks are drawn for reasonably small
amounts, but follow each other in such
rapid succession that if the resourceful
Whipple be not soon under lock and key
the sums are likely to run up into six
figures with q remarkable degree of speed.
The checks are perfect, except for slight
inaccuracy in the certificate stamp. Among
the victims in the East are the Narragan-
sett Hotel Company, Providence; National
Bank of New York and Exchange Bank of
Boston. 1t is not known how many of the
bogus checks are out, but they are pouring
in upon the Atlas National Bank at lively
rate.

rsrEc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
New YORK, Aug. 22.-Among the visit,
ors Mr. Carter received at the Republican
National headquarters on Fifth avenue to-
day was Governor Mckinley, of Ohio. The
Governor also saw Secretary McComas and
General Clarkson. Mr.. Mckinley was in.
formed that he was in great demand fol
campaign speeches, and that there
is hardly State in the Union
which has not called for at least one speech
from him. He said that he hoped to take
an active part in the campaign, and would
speak wherever the committee desired
Regarding the situation in Ohio, he
said: 'rThe situation is as favorable as we
have any right to expect. The question
with us, of all other questions, is the
tariff Our people do not want it dis
turbed, and won't have it disturbed, and
ss long as the Democrats conduct their
campaigns on the free trade issue they
must expect an overwhelming verdict
against them in Ohio. "
Governor Mckinley left for Seabright to-
day. He will proceed to Brattleboro in a
day or two, and will speak in Burlington
August 80. His engagements in Maine are
for September 8 and 6, at places to be desig-
mated by Joe Manley.

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. 22.-[SptciaL IA
small strike occurred here in the brewery
operated by Granger & Story. The strike
was insignificant, since only eight men
were concerned, but the principle involved
makes it worthy of note. The firm had
signed Knights of Labor contract to en-
ploy only members of the order, and the
privilege was given them TO discharge any
mau "for cause" provided another Knight
was hired to take his place.
A week or two ago the firm discharged
one Morrissey for cause. Another knight
was hired in his place, but Morrissey's
friends continued to labor for his reinstate-
ment, and to- day secured an order for a
strike from the circle of Knights to which
he belonged.

Intensive Farming

This is the established phrase to ex
press that condition offarming where
each acre aud every square yard of
each acre Is made to produce the very
largest possible yield. One acre is thus
made to do the work of ten. nav of
even one hundred. Instances are of
record where fruits and vegetables
well cared for have yielded enormously
and with great perfection OF product.
And what is now the exception NAV
become the rule under proper system
oflntensive farming. What is required
for this result is small farms. The
Melvin Garden Farms near Annapo-
lis haze been planned aud beautifully
laid off with this object in view. The
land is of fine quality for the purpose,
