SIGNALING AT SEA.
Diversity of Opinion About the Relative
Merits of Light.

Diversity of Opinion About tho Relative
Merits of Light.
There is a great diversity of opinion
in the British navy as to the merits
and dement's of colored lights for signal
ing. Most of the young officers are
strongly in their favor. AS they point
out, a signal on this system can be kept
showing as long as required, while any
amount of repetition of fiash-signaling
may not, under some conditions, render
it Ineligible with any degree of GER
tainty.
The British naval authorities, who
have been interchangeable in testing new
systems of signaling, both for day and
night purposes, have recently made a
trial at Portsmouth of the Sellner sys-
tenn, invented by an officer in the Aus
trian navy. This system consists Of
two lanterns, each capable Of produc-.
ing five classes of light, namely, white
and red, white occulting, red occulting
and red and white occulting. Thirty
different combinations are placed on
the code. Electric lights are used for
the lanterns, and though, for the pres
ert, separate batteries are used for the
lights and for the signaling apparatus
by which the lights are changed and
obscured at will, 1t is intended that
eventually one dynamo shall supply ell
of the current required. A record of
signals sent by the apparatus is OBJ
tanned by an attachment which prints
the message sent automatically. No
difficulty was experienced in reading
the signals at a distance of six miles
or more. The objection raised to the
system is that the mechanism'is far too
delicate and complicated, though the
results obtained with it far exceed those
possible with the present Morse flash
signaling.

Street-Car Company Stops the Lads from
"Jrmping" Traips.
The Sioux City Qa.) Traction com
pany, of this place, has invented a plan
for keeping small boys from Jump
ing it's cars, which up to date has
proved successful. Some time ago the
company began running an advertising
car, within which was an organ so con-
nected with the running machinery
that it sounded whenever the car was in
motion. AS no passengers were carried
only one man was employed on board,
and his efforts were insufficient to keep
the urchins of the city from riding free
whenever they saw fit. The company
feared an accident, and to prevent one
finally ran rail of gas pipe around the
lower part of the car charged with just
enough electricity to give Il tingling
sensation 10 the hands of the young
sters who graSped it. The scheme was
success, and the car went It's rounds
in peace from that time until yoIth
who had not learned how the pipe was
loaded ran out ut the junction of the
traction company's track with the
Central company's line and seized the
pipe near the front end of the car. AT
the same instant he placed his bare foot
on the charged rail of the Central. The
street sprinkler had just passed, so
that everything was damp, and about
300 volts of electricity instantly found
their way through the boys body. He
fell with his feet in front of the wheels
Of the advertising car, and but for the
prompt action of the motorman in re-
versing his car would have been manned
for life. AS soon as he recovered from
the shock the lad sprang to his feet
with a yell like Comanche and fed up
the street before his name could be as
certained. In spite of the traction COM
Ipany's officers delight at the success
of the experiment the plan has been
abandoned.

The meeting at Odd Fellows hall
last night was opened by the chair
man, w. w. BillupS, who stated that
they were. not there to discuss any
candidate; but as an honorable
man of the race had been called upon
to address the club the members
were anxious to hear him.
The audience yelled Justify for
Starnes. and seeing that the voters
were unanimous in their demands
the chairman introduced DR.. Starnes,
who spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Repub-
licans:-I promised you at our last
meeting that the discussion tonight
would be upon the issues of the cam
paign, namely: Gold and silver and
the tariff rs well. But pardon me for
depressing from the subject to say
to you that the Democrats have been
forced to the last ditch and have not
in this campaign made silver the is
sue, from choice. 1t is their only al
tentative. Tinkering with the ariff
has ruined their record as law max
ers.
'Tinkering with tariff has reduced
a proud and prosperous nation almost
to pauperism. Tinkering with the
tariff has caused hundreds and thous-
ands, yea millions of men, women
and children to be thrown out of en-
ployment and with want and starva-
ton staring them in the face. more
suicides have been committed, more
banks robbed, more trains held up
and robbed, more murders committed,
more tramp brigades, more industrial
armies organized, than the world has
ever known in all its previous history.

will be opened, railroads will find
their way to new oil fields and coal

than through the minis. Gentlemen,
l thank you for this patient hearing.
On Monday shall speak on the fee

The speech was followed with
longed applause and wild shouts.
Walter Horton jumped upon the floor
and moved that DR.. Starnes be unan-
imously endorsed for the legislature
it was carried without a dissenting
word.
r. E. Mormon made a strong speech
instructing the voters to knife every
candidate that knitted Starnes.
VIM. n Gilman instructed that we
stand by Starnes to a man and each
make himself a committee to swell
the vote for Starnes.
Strong speeches were made by j.

shout of three cheers for Starnes to

clubs were left discussing the

the beautiful tieecy article that every
body was in love with went down to
3 and cents per pound; and so will
it be with silver under free coinage.

they had no other alternative, and
like n squirrel upon falling tree or
rats on a sinking ship, they began to
jump, and the most feasible thing as
it appeared to them was the free and

DO you know that there has al
ways been superstition about sill

ers to be ignorant they hold up the

sending literature (holding aloft bulk

your son and mine, your brother and

from time immemorial the ignorant

if you carried a silver dime in the

not hurt you. You remember the old

VIEW HE BIG TURTLE.
Boston Interested in what Had Been
Mistaken for a Sea Serpent.

Boston Interested In what Had Been
Mistaken for Sea Serpent.
Thousands have visited the fishing
schooner Minnehaha at the wharf TO
see the big loggerhead turtle supposed
to be the "sea serpent" which has been
seen along the Massachusetts coast at
different times this summer. Before
holding any reception, however, il was
necessary to hypnotic him with IN ak,
as his disposition was such as to mako
it unsafe to have q crowd making any
close examination of him, while he was
alive. One of the men, therefore, dis
tracted his attention by allowing him
to chew on the end of a hawser, and a
second hit him once on the top of the
head with an AK. The turtle was then
displayed in as attractive a manner as
possible, under an awning, and for
small sum of ten cents the curious were
allowed to look under the covering and
see what was left of the 'only original
sea serpent" There were few people
in the crowd who believed that his tur-
tleship could stick his head up in the
air six or eight feet, as he was reported
to have done, or that he could under
any circumstances have been mistaken
for sea serpent. One old fellow, how
ever, said that one might readily be mis-
taken for sea serpent by person who
was not familiar with their appearance,
as they swim with their head and tail
up, and, at n short distance, the round
of their back looks as though it might
be a body instead of a shell. He says
that what especially puzzled him Is
what the creature was doing in this
latitude, for such creatures are almost
never seen north of the Delaware capes,
and seldom north of Florida. They do
not like cold water, and, although it
might not be so surprising to find one
in Vineyard sound, where the water is
warm in the summer, it is hard to i'm
agine why one should stay in the cold
waters of Massachusetts bay.
