Novel Method Of News Distribution Fol-
lowed In Paris.
L'Agence Havas, the great distributor
Of news at Paris, has introduced recent
ly a system of telegraphic typewriters
which for rapid spreading of informa.
tion excels anything known. The ma
chine was invented as we'll as perfected
by an American, Mr. Wright, and, aft.
or some adaptation necessary for the Pc
culiar purpose it had to serve, presents
now the perfection of an apparatus for
the news bureau. A typewriter in the
central station works the machine, and
all the subscribers receive the identical
information in less than one third the
time required by ordinary telegraphic
transmission. Absolute accuracy is
guaranteed, the operator sees what he is
writing, and. mutilation or dropping Of
words is impossible.
The system Of news distribution is
very complicated, but great pains have
been taken to secure it against any like.
~ interruption of the service. All the
wiring is through underground cables,
one caDle being allowed Tor group OF
l5 subscribers, but there are 20 wires
In each cable. allowing a reserve of five
wires for each circuit. The machine is
quite different from the old American
tickers, in that the paper used is not a
strip three-quarters of an inch wide, but
q roll of paper 6 Is inches in width. The
principle is that Of a typewriter, each
key of which is connected with special
communication, allowing an electric cur
rent to pass through the line, upon
which are disposed given number of
receivers with typewriting attachments,
but without any clockwork. A type
reel guided by the current from the cen
tral station prints upon roll of paper
as in typewriter The commutator
mentioned above is set going by small
electric motor receiving its energy from
battery of 60 Tudor accumulators. -

a Shocking Hotel.

A hotel in Chicago is so heavily
charged with electricity that the guests
cannot move around without getting a
shock which is often painful. 1t is so
bad that when one walks across the
room spark will leap over space Of
two inches The guests have had some
funny experiences One man came near
getting q gash out in his face when he
went to get shaved, because he was SO
startled by spark from the razor: Then
another man thought he had stepped on
needles when he got into bathtub.
This peculiar condition Of the building
puzzles the electricians, and some think
the whole house will have to be over
hauled and evised.-Chicago Core

An Interesting Insurance Question,

William Bailey, who had been buying
horses and shipping them south, and
who accidentally shot himself through
the right foot two weeks ago, has died
Of his injuries. Bailey came here from
Fort Scott. Shortly after the first of
the year he took out two accident in
surance policies, one in the Fidelity and
Casualty company for $4,000 and the
other in the Standard company for like
amount. The latter company claims ex-
emption under a clause which releases
it if the insured is injured while in the
act of violating state law. Local rep
resentatives of the company claim that
as Bailey was shot by the accidental dis
charge of a revolver in his pocket ho
was carrying concealed weapon, and
thereby violating the state law. -Atch

Freezing of Pipes Prevented.

An English firm is introducing an
automatic air valve intended to prevent
the bursting of pipes Ly frost. The valve
is soldered into the water pipe at tho
highest position Of the building and
normally is kept closed by the pressure
of the water inside the pipes. In time
Of frost the main cock is closed, and
then by opening the lowest tap in the
building the water in the house pipes
can be run off, air coming through the
air valve to take its place. Thus the
pipes, being filled with air, cannot
freeze. On turning on the water from
the main again the air valve closes au.

THE FUTURE or EUROPE.
Il Bon. the French Historian. Predicts an
Oriental Influx. ~-'5~


Oriental Influx. ~-'s~.
The French historian LIE Bon in re-
cent article predicts that Europe will
become the seat for despotism and later
Tor barbarism and incur the same fate
as the Byzantine and the Persian en-
pires Next the Slavs will destroy the
old culture, and then Europe will be
overrun with the orientals, particularly
the Chinese and the Hindoos.
According to Professor Le Bon's
views. a general European war will be
succeeded by terrible economic condi-
tions. The orient is already commenc-
ing to be the producer for Europe in
stead of being the consumer, and Eu-
rope. in spite of it's tariff protection,
will find it impossible to check the
food. India is now exporting it's prod
uce, which, III spite of transportation
expenses, is sold at lower figure than
the European. and India, provided with
machinery, is now competing with Eu
rope in the manufacturing market.
China. when its war with Japan is
over. will follow lndia's example.
When India and China, with their
enormous deposits of coal, have mass
OF factories in operation, they will over
whelm the European markets with their
products and place the European work
man in the position where he must Ell
ther starve to death from lack of work
or starve ON absolutely insufficient
wages. The oriental workman will not,
as experience has shown, desert their
cheap food-tea and rice-for our more
expensive food or European Injuries.
Professor LIE Bon's views, says LIE
Temps, may be drawn in dark colors,
but every one familiar with political
economy must to a certain extent in
dorse them. The European markets in
certain of their branches are now and
have for some time felt the killing in
f1uence of economical competition from
the oriental countries, and when such
conditions exist now what will they be
when these countries will be equipped
with European machinery and pro
ducing it's articles with the same facil
ity as is now done in Europe? 1t may

Coinciden,es Connected With the Expert,
-,c-- mGnts Made by Scientists
Professor Ramsay explained in an in !
terview last week how he discovered
argol,, the new element in the atmos-
phere which is now exciting the Won
der of the scientific world. He said:
''The impulse came directly from Lord
Rayleigh. He was much impressed by
the fact that atmospheric nitrogen was
heavier than chemical nitrogen. This
might be due to All admixture of lighter
gas with chemical nitrogen or to the
presence of a gas of greater weight in
atmospheric nitrogen. Lord Rayleigh
was inclined to the former explanation,
aud some four years ago he consulted me
about tho manufacture of chemical nj
tcogen.
II regarded the second explanation as
the true one, and after he had been ex-
perimenting for some time asked his
permission to make experiments on my
own account. He never hesitated to ac-
cord his consent, and l set u work
1t was dreary waiting for results that
never came, but there were times Of
high excitement as my suspicious be-
came probabilities, and probabilities
grew into triumphant certainty At
length, in July last, was able to send
Lord Rayleigh three ounces of the new
gas.
