INGENIOUS NAVAL
SIGNALS.

The american Consul at
Copenhagen reports to the
State Department that a young
boatswain in the Danish navy
has invented a telegraphic APP
paratus for communication with
a ship at a certain anchorage
without the use OF a line, says
the Sun" An electric battery
with one pole in contact with
moist earth at one end and a
telegraphic key and interpreter
at the other, constitutes the
Bland apparatus, from which a
cable is laid to and around the
anchorage in a coil from 1909
to 1900 feet in diameter. A
selenoid connected with a tel
e2hone abroad the ship com
pletes the apparatus. The plan
has worked successfully, and
the young inventor is now at
work to get rid Of the telegraph
key and make the communica-
ton wholly telephone. Among
the advantages of the
new method is that signals
made in this manner will not
be visible to an enemy, as in
case of flags, and that ships
Imovihg near the shore can com
municate with stations while
passing over certain spots be
fore designated.

WEDNESDAY. SEPT. Q, 1896.
REMEDY FoR POVERTY.

One sovereign remedy for
hard times would be found in
increasing the farming popul-
alton by removal of the poor
of the cities to the country.
There is still plenty of land in
the United States 10 support
our population if it were ap-
portioned out to them. 1t is
quite an easy matter for any
family to obtain a small amount
Of land either from the general
government or from a state like
Texas. Only a small sum in
yearly installments, where the
land is not absolutely free, will
pay for a home. The only diff
ficuity is that the very poor in
the cities have nothiag to start
on, not even enough means to
move them TO the country. 1t
would pay the railroads to
grant them free transportation
and there is a fine chance for
the charitably disposed to form
an industrial aid society, whose
object it should be 10 assist in
buying implements and build
ing houses for those who would
remove from the towns and
cities. Such a purpose ought
TO enlist the philanthropists,
and it would certainly be as
meritorious TO contribute TO the
support of a society of that
kind as to send millions OF
money to convert the heather
of other lands. Men have bodies
TO be clothed and fed as well as
souls to be saved, and ii Goo
Almighty ever intended thar
the body should be neglected
In the interest of the soul h,
has given no indication of it
Furthermore. God made tn
country andsman made til,
town." This fact may sugges
that the Creator intended lha
men should live in the countr,
rather than dwell in the city.

SURROUNDED BY SNAKES,

was quite blue. Large

other fishes and snakes were
seen on the blue water side.
Some of the snakes were of
immense. size, while the small
est, which came very close to
the ship, were not less than 8
feet long.
"On The port side were a
number of alligators, and every
once in a while one could be
seen making a dash at a dolph-
in or boneta, and Selling the
fish in its jaws, swim back to
fresh water and eat its victim
at leisure. But the alligators
were not always so fast ia their
