MADRID, July 3l.-Misgivings are

possible result to the PHILIPPINE islands
in the event Of Japan becoming the

said TO be possible that Japan might
utilize the troubles at Mindano Island,
Malay Archipelegaeo, as a pretext to
exert her ambitious design.

TESLA'S 0SCLILATOR
The Young Montenegrln's
Great Invention.
A MOST REMARKABLE APPLIANCE
The Combination Constitutes Il Ma
chine Which Has IN 1t the POten-
tinlity "f Reducing to Old Bell
Metal the Enrth's Machinery. M

Tesla's latest invention, the "osc1l-
lator," is one of the most remarkable
appliances of the age. 1t is aptly de-
scribed as being the core of steam en-
gine and the core Of a dynamo, combin-
ed and given harmonious mechanical
adjustment. This combination consti-
tutes a machine which has in it the po.
tentiality Of reducing to the rank of old
bell metal half the machinery at pres
ent moving on the face of the globe 1t
may come to do the entire work of the
engines Of an ocean steamship within a
small part of the space they now occupy
and at fraction Of their cost both OF
construction, and operation. 1t will do
this work without jar or pounding and
will reduce to minimum the risk of
arrangement or breakage. There is
nothing in the whole range Of mechan-
ical construction from railway locomo-
tives to stamp mills, which such an in
vention may not revolutionize
The essential characteristic Of the
machine is the application Of the pres
sure Of steam to produce an extremely
rapid vibration Of a bar of steel or pis-
ton, which in turn is SO adapted to a
set of magnets that the mechanical
energy of the vibration is converted in
to electricity. The extraordinary result
is that practically an absolutely con-
stant vibration is established, and
power is attained greatly beyond that
obtainable in the most costly expansion
engines using a similar amount Of steam.
Besides saving in mechanical friction
the 35 per cent of loss in the working
Of the engine, the Is per cent Of loss by
belt friction and the 10 per cent wasted
in the dynamo, making altogether an
addition Of 60 per cent to the available
energy obtained from the steam for the
purpose Of producing electricity, it is
simpler, smaller and lighter than the
mechanism it is destined to replace, alb
solutely constant in its action, automat-
ically regulated and subject to the least
possible amount Of wear and tear. The
utilization Of this machine in any branch
Of industry would result in an appre-
ciable lowering in the cost Of produc-
tion, and it is quite possible that it's
first general employment may be in
electric lighting. In the face of this
marvellous invention a recent statement
of Tesla seems hardly no longer vision
ary. The young Montenegrin said, II
expect to live to be able to set a machine
in the middle Of this room and move it
BY no other agency than the energy Of
the medium in motion around us. -

The King of the Gossiping Dudes Freely
Discusses Family Affair.
1t is now said that Mrs. Willie K.
Vanderbilt is coming to New York to
open the Fifth avenue house and will
give at least one big ball to introduce
her daughter Consuela to New York So
ciety.
What will poor Willie do then?
1t is known among his friends that
he intends to come home this winter.
It is also known that he does not in
tend to live with Mrs. Willie.
Must the master of many houses go,
then, to hotel, like an ordinary tray
eler?
I don't attach much Importance to
the town house story, and Mrs. Van
derbilt is certainly not foolish enough
to introduce a very young girl to society
when she herself is under cloud and
people are saying that her husbands s
family won't speak to her.
That last is another statement that
won't hold water.
Mrs. Willie K. hasn't done anything
to deserve snubbing from the Wander
bilts of all people.
Tt was her husband who left her and
not she him. All the influences Of the
Vanderbilts have been directed toward
reconciliation, and certainly to snub
the injured would not be conciliatory.

anything about this couples plans for
the best of reasons. They don't know
themselves

England's Temperance Party.

The temperance party have given the
government notice privately that they
refuse to tolerate any delay next session
in passing the bill giving local control
over the liquor trade measure which
Gladstone recently denounced as i'm
practicable The threat has some polit-
ical Importance, because there are
about dozen extreme temperance men
in the house Of commons, who, although
Liberals. are prepared to vote against
the government If they should be further
fooled on this question. Their allegiance
to the party is certain to be put to the
breaking strain test, because the whole
time Of the next session is already vir-
tually pledged to other matters. Lon

is MARS INHABITED?
Methods Employed by Modern Science to
Find an Answer to This Question.


Find an Answer to This Question.
A striking example of the march Of
modern science is demonstrated in the
discussion which has been going the
rounds Of the learned over the question,
Is Mars inhabited? The fact that such
a debate is in progress is not of particu-
lar significance. Wandering Arabs OF
the desert have regarded the silent stars
with thousands Of such speculations
from time immemorial, but learned doc
tors of theology, accustomed to dis
course upon the standing room of a
needless point for angels, have waxed
choleric and indignantly eloquent in
these disputations over the habitability
Of the planets.
tempt to prove such matters by hair
splitting logic Of the schools They
simply construct machinery to bring
the planets nearer to the vision. So far
as Mars is concerned, through the tele-
scope they see that at certain seasons an
accumulation Of color of one kind sur
rounds the poles Of the planet and runs
down to the equator a certain distance.
At some seasons these zones are larger
than at others. Hence they conclude that
Mars has seasons Of some kind-possi-
bly, the color around the poles is snow
and ice.
The spectroscope reveals the presence
Of water on the planet. And each sue
ceeding year brings into possession Of
humanity some new facts. knowledge
Of the planets is limited only by the
machinery Of the astronomer. And in
this fact lies the difference between the
spirit Of the ancients and moderns.

His Brilliant Career Is Cut
Very Short.
EXPELLED FROM HIS CHOSEN FIELD
A MeteOric Career Suddenly Abbre-
waited in Turin, Italy - Count
TscharnadieR and Pretty
Woman Expelled from Italy.

'aA I5S:,i IN newspapers have lately
~ \ s,--ec4y occupied with the case CT
Golnr Isch;srl.aelietf, who after a me-
t>tlic caree, III Turin, has been ignomin-
ioLa.y expelled from Italy by order Of
the minister Of the interior. His real
identity has not yet been fully estab-
lished. He arrived at Turin four months
ago, took fine house in suburb and
installed therein beautiful young
woman, who passed as the countess.
The mansion was superbly furnished.
There were 10 domestics, and in the
stables were II horses The pair drove
about Turin in an open landau drawn
by six horses and naturally attracted
attention, although the local aristocracy
suspected them from the first and would
have nothing to do with them. The
count gave charity with lavish hand
and was always at home to poor people.
He finally began to dabble in anarch-
ism and socialism. He was elected an
honorary member of 25 workmen asso-
Citations and announced his intention to
become candidate for the chamber Of
deputies By this time he had attracted
the attention Of the central authorities
at Rome, who decided that he was too
dazzling and too mysterious person for
quiet going Italy, and he was ignomin-
iously bundled off to the frontier with
the so called countess.
It is estimated that during his stay
in Turin the count spent at least half
million francs, and he left very few
debts behind. This apparent honesty,
however, is evidently due to the sud-
denness Of his expulsion, which upset
the counts plans. The police say he
has lived, and lived we'll, by his wits for
years and is known as dangerous and
daring swindler in every European cap
ital. The young woman is as much a
mystery as the count himself. Nobody
has been able to specify her nationality,
for she speaks with huency French,
Spanish, italian aud Russian. Tschar-
nadief bore curious resemblance to
Arton Of Panama scandal fame and was

tectives.

It was bound to come, and here it is.
Having gradually filled many roles, the
Emperor William has now added an
other to his repertory. Abiding to it

ent tells the story thus: @
''As the Emperor William was step
ping on board his yacht the other day.,
he was met by sailor named Joerg,
who had in his hand a mug of beer,
which he was carrying into the officers
cabin. The emperor was very much
amused at the discontinue Of the poor
fellow, who did not know at first what
to do and who finally saluted the en-
peror, holding the beer mug convulsive-
ly against the seam Of his breeches.
''The emperor stepped up to the sailor
and addressed him most amiably: See,
Joerg, you have done that very stupid
ly. I will show you how one should be-
have in such situation. Go up and
imagine that you are the emperor, and
I shall be the sailor Joerg.' The poor
fellow did not dare remonstrate He had
to come on board by the imperial gang
way, and the Emperor William met
him below in his new role Of sailor
with beer mug.
"When he saw Joerg, the emperor
affected some embarrassment, but he
then set the glass to his lips, emptied it
completely, put it down on the ships
ledge and then made his salute Doyou
see, Joerg? That is the way it must be
done. Now, remember. And now go
below and tell them to give you another

they question you, just tell them that I

angry, for the beer was beautifully fresh

THE CzAR's DOCTOR.

He Is an Eccentric Man and Insists Upon
Having Ills Way In the Sickroom.
DR.. Zacharin, who has been treating
the czar, is known as one Of the most
impolite men-to use no stronger ex-
pression-in his profession. He is q
fierce democrat and has respect for no
one Like Professor Schweninger, the
physician of Bismarck, he insists upon
the literal execution Of his orders, it
matters not who the patient may be,
ind will brook no interference. He is
man of middle age and began life as a
butcher boy. He has become one of the
richest men in Russia by hts practice.
When the malady Of the czar began
to look serious few weeks ago, the
emperor at once asked that Zacharin be
sent for. A telegram was dispatched to
the governor Of Moscow, says one Of the
imperial attendants in the Copenhagen
Politiken, ordering him to send Zacharin
to st. Petersburg. The adjutant Of the
governor found the professor in his clinic
and asked him to make as rapid prepa-
rations as possible, as the fast train
would leave the city for the capital in
few hours. ..e
''The fast train? What?'' was the
professors answer. ''The emperor of
Russia sick, and you talk of the fast
train! Will you kindly order me an
extra, which must be ready in half
an hour?"
At the time appointed he started for
ST. Petersburg, and arriving there hur-
ried with an adjutant to the castle.
His majesty awaits you, professor,
said chamberlain, who received him
at the entrance. "Your rooms are at
the head OF the stairway, and you will
find everything in readiness to make
your toilet after the journey"
Toiletv' answered the physician.
ellis majesty is sick and wants my ad-
vice, not to see me in toilet Take me
to him at once. =
The emperor was lying in bed in q
dark room. All the windows were
closed, and the curtains were down.
The empress sat in rocking chair next
to the bed. Three body physicians stood
about the room. Zacharin entered the
room, made his obeisance to the imperial
pair, but almost totally disregarded the
presence Of his colleagues.
What an atmosphere! 1t is disease
breeding. And in this atmosphere you
allow Russia's sick emperor to lie?
Quick! Put back the curtains and raise
the windows. Such was his first order.
He than became silent and began a
thorough examination Of his patient.
Then, taking chair, he rested his arm
on his knee and began to think Almost

THE LONDON CRUSADE.
The Public More Interested In 1T Than In
Any or All Other Subjects.

Any or All Other Subjects.
London en- masse is vastly more in
terested in the matter Of domestic NOR
ais than in the ominous events which
threaten to make q deep impression on
European history. The "Prudes on the
Prowl' crusade has developed into
burning issue Of deeper concern than
any Parkhurst or Lexow committee do
ings in New York: Slow going, every
day London has apparently made up it's
mind that the restrictions which it has
been attempted to impose upon places Of
amusement are an attack on public lib
critics which it is necessary to resent to
no matter what extremity. Itis difficult
to give an idea Of the intensity Of the
popular feeling displayed on both sides
Of the question. The Daily Telegraph,
the most widely circulated newspaper
in London, prints q page Of letters daily
on the subject and announces that this
is only tenth Of the correspondence
sent in. None Of the newspapers has been
able to ignore the question, and some Of
the literature on the subject in the pub
lio prints is simply amazing. It is un-
equaled in quantity and in the senti
ments expressed by Mr.. stead's 'tMaid
en- Tribute" which made world
wide sensation ten years ago.
The question is beginning to be clear
ly defined. It is not "shall the social
evil be suppressed?" Even the most ex-
treme purist agitators do not undertake
that herculean task. The issue really is,
"Shall the social evil obtain even tacit
official recognition in London?" All Of
the purists say no. All London, if one
may judge by the newspapers, says yes.
Il is universally admitted that vice
faunts itself more boldly, more often

this public evil because it is not recog-
nized by law. They demand in effect
