THE FIRST POLICE SIGNAL.
Crude Device Tried in Yonkcrs to Aid
 in Apprehensling Hoodiurns.


 in Apprehending Hoodiums
 Thirty-nve years ago Capt. Mangan. chief of the police force at Yonbers, for his own convenience rigged up an elec- tric contriyancc, out Of which grew the elaborate and comprehensive system of police signals and communication be- tween station-houses at present in use. Although the perfection of the veteran captains suggestion has yielded a great manufacturing firm a fortune, not a dollar of it ever came into the hands of the real inventor, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 In the early days of the war a rough gang of men and boys frequently took possession of the Hudson River railroad depot and committed lawless acts. Tho police station was located in the town, quite distance from the depot, and before messenger could summon as. sistance the law-brealers would have disappeared. Capt. Mangan thought the matter over and induced the depot agent and telegraph operator to run wire from the station to the police of fec. At the police end bell and Q dial were arranged. The latter had painted on its face two or three short messages, such as "send an officers trouble here; send a fuN force,n etc. The indicator on the dial was made t> move by a series of short jerks, caused by key taps, to the desired point on the dial. A practical electrician saw this crude apparatus at work one day. Six months later patents were taken out on the apparatus now in use all over the country, which consists of boa with a dial face upon which are iadl. cated number of routine questioaa and answers and the letters of the d. phabet, by which any message may De spelled out, a crank being used at one end, the indicator showing at the othss

Possibilities in the Event of Attack by .
 Hostile Eorcn

Hostile Force.
 Experiments at Shoeburyness have shown that an Armstrong shell can be be thrown 9,17e yards-about five and one-third miles-says a writer in Tenn pie Bar. It is therefore absolutely clear that if all the fleet were temporarily absent, either on some special mission or depressed by storm, hostile iron elads taking up a position within four miles of the eastward of Europa point might with impunity send shot and shell into the outlying parts of the fortress and cause much destruction of life and property. On the other hand, the governor of the fortress would not be idle, and the experiences of the late civil war in America have abundantly proved that the cannon in fortresses, 1t they strike Q ship of war with their proJectiles, even at long range, may do considerable mischief; while, on the other hand, many shot and shell may strike fort and only do trifling dam- age. 1t is practically impossible to throw shot or shell over the high part of the rock, near Spain, and the can non ensconeed in tho unique rock gal leries, with their royal artillery gun detachments, would be absolutely safe. Even if the neutral ground between Gibraltar and Spain were occupied by hostile foe, comparatively little dam age would be the result. During the writer's stay at Gibraltar it was con sidered desirable to try the experiment. of firing upward from the plain on the Spanish side into the galleries, dum- mics being placed to represent the nec- cssary gun detachments. A regiment several hundred strong was according y placed in position and supplied with ball cartridges. The range, however, was unknown, and the fire being di- rected upward, 1t was fully an hour be- fore any of the dummies were hit, after the expenditure of much ammunition. In actual warfare, of course, the Brit ish rifle sharpshooters must have picked out their foes by firing downward from the galleries. Bomb=proof barracks md hospitals are potent factors against the horrors of bombardnent, and there is little t,cabt that there is ample room at Gibraltar for some amendment on this head.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. April 1.-THE quo
rum of twelve" and Joseph Smith were in
executive session until midnight last night,
and this morning early, the session was re-
sumed. Questions of grave Importance to

All to 361, after a heated debate. reso-
luton was passed indorsing the use of tents
in all districts which the presiding elders
might deem necessary as the most available
and effective means of reaching certain
classes. The resolution was presented by
a committee appointed on the question. 1t
was decided that the board of directors

A CHEMISTS DISCOVERY.
Accidentally Found New Compound
That Is Sweeter Than Saccharine.

CHICAGO. April 11.-A discovery of more
than ordinary interest has recently been
made in the Kent laboratory at the Chicago
University. A new compound has been
found, which has sweetening powers in
cess of those possessed by saccharine which
has hitherto been considered the sweetest
substance known to chemists.
While working on a series derived from
the coal tar products, DIR. III. L. Wheeler
happened to touch his pencil to his tongue.
He was astonished to find that it had
very sweet taste Upon locking about him
for the cause. DR.. Wheeler found that he
had done some writing on a piece of filter
paper upon watch there was a very small
quantity Of the material which he had been
working with. This led him to look into
TIE the matter and found that an after taste
ike tnat OF iicorice was noticeable.
IA. L. wheeler, Phi D., to whom the
credit Tor this discovery Is due is a grad
uatc OF Yale College and has continued his
studies since. his graduation both in this
country and IN Munich, Germany. He is a
son of George Henry. Wheeler. president
or the Chicago city railway. Candy manu-
facturers and druggists who have examined
the chemical say ii will prove valuable in
many WAYS.

Ignorant OF the situation

LONDON, April 1.-THE Times has dis
patch from Peking stating that the officials
in the Chinese capital are largely ignorant
of the situation in respect to Japan. Dis
Foreign Office especially the Grand Council,
has few consultations with the ministers of
the foreign powers. These consultations are
now fewer than when LII Hung Chang was
in Peking. The Manchu people strongly re-
sent the idea of ceding Manchuria to
Japan. The former war faction is still
strong and there is danger of creating dis
satisfaction among the people. This faction
would not yield to Japan but fears that
resistance is impossible
The Berlin correspondent of the STANDARD
te,egraphs: / learn that the government
regards Japans demands as highly detri-
mental to tho commercial interests of
Europe in China. Germany is willing to CO.
operate with the other powers in pro-
testing against them, but she will not take
the Initiative
