Jim and John were townsmen and
chums, and went out to see baseball 1t
was redhot afternoon, and the bleach
ers were like frying pans at breakfast
time. Jim had bald head and John had
q crick in the back. They sat for an UNI
derdone roast and laughed at everything
Jin's bald spot was a shining mark, ike
a brass doorplate. A stray ball, fierce
and sharp, from a false bat, struck the
spot and ploughed a furrow. 1t dazed
him. Jim's eyes and face looked like a
sick owls, and John laughed. He laugh
ed an hour straight along. The game ran
late into twilight. Meanwhile John had
shed his coat, and a cool damp draft got
~ its work on his back. The time came
TO leave but John couldn't. He couldn
bend or get up. Lumbago had set in, IN
its worst form. He laughs best who
laughs last and Jim had his revenge But
they got down town to Jfms room, Wheh
he said: Here's something all those
athletes use for hurts and ailments, and
IT'S the best known cure for lame back.
He rubbed it on Johns back and some
IN his own head. They were both teellnS
cured and comfortable from the use OF
81 Jacobs Oil, which Jim always kept
in a handy place. He was sport nm
self and knew what was best. They went
70 bed. John laughed in his sleep. Both
rose in the morning fresh as daisies; then
Jim laughed at John.

London, Oct. l4.-J. Bennett Stanford,
who has just returned from taking part
in an expedition to Somaliland brings
news of the humiliation at the end of
June of an Abyssinian army of 5000 men
under the control of the famous General
Ras Mackennon, of which number only
90 men escaped.
In an interview Mr.. Stanford said
While in the interior we came upon "A
powerful Somali chief who had just re-
turned from the fight. He told me that
the Abyssnian forces had been going
down Webbe Shebyle river nearly as far
as the 45th parallel The Somalis then
overwhelmed them with large numbers,
allowing 50 men to 90 back with the
news of the defeat Ras Mackennon was
killed during the battle.
The affair occurred about 100 miles
above where we were. The whole neigh
borhood is still excited and the possession
of so many Italian rifles by the Somals
is evidence that the story told of the
Abyssinian defeat is true.
The latest news from Harlar was that
an Abyssinian army was being dispatch
ed against the Somalis, who are eagerly
anticipating another fight"
In regard to the reported massacre of
the Cavendish expedition, Mr.. Stanford
said; There are no expeditions in Soma
liland to massacre. Peel. who was with
me, is away to the south. Lord Demore
is near Lake Rudolph, Major Mcdonald
is on the trade route toward Uganda, and
Cavendish, when ! last heard of him, on

present. The dean called the meeting to

After a warm session, lasting until 1890,
the meeting adjourned. Dean Rabbit,

n Typewriter automatically. What is
called the Delany system is still more
rapid. But all these achievements ana
projects are surpassed by plan de-
scribed by Lieut.. George Owen Squlcr
of the Third United States artillery
and assistant professor of physics az
Dartmouth. In some experiments
conducted by Lieutenant Squier, III CO.
operation with Prof. a. c. Crehore at
Fort Monroe, a speed of LOO words
per minute was actually attained, ana
the assertion is made that from 1900
to 5000 words a minute may be sent
by the same system between points as
far apart as New York and Chicago.
One great novelty about the new
plan is that it utilizes an alternating
current instead of a constant one
Now, if an alternating current be in
terrupted, and if the interruption oc-
ours at lust the stage of an alteration
which is midway between a positive
and negative wave, there will be no
spark. because the force which was
flowing in one direction subsidies to
zero before it begins to flow in the
other. What Messrs. SQuier and Gre
hore propose, then, is to interrupt
their current and restore it at just
such zero points" in the oscillation as
this. But the sparks will not disap-
pear unless the make" and break
occur at precisely the right instant;
and thus a simple and valuable guide
is afforded the operator in adjusting
his apparatus. When he finds that
sparkling has ceased, he knows that his
transmitter interrupts and restores the
flow at the zero stage and is working
in perfect harmony with the particular
frequency of alienation employed.
Now, let us suppose that the Morse
alphabet, which is composed Of dots
and daSheS, is to be tried with this syS-
tenn. In that case a break lasting from
the beginning of positive wave until
It's end might stand for the dot, and a
break from the beginning of positive
wave. but continuing past its subsi-
dcncc through the rise and fall of the

negative wave also, would make IA

negative wave also, would make IA
dash.
The machine by which messages are
sent with an alternating current is
very simple. A narrow wheel with a
fiat. narrow periphery is kept in rota-
tiOn at rate which is rapid and is
equal to an integer number Of cycles.
Let us imagine, now, that the wire
carrying the message is cut in two. and
the adjacent ends are provided with
flexible metallic tips, or brushes
and that these two brushes rest, side
by side, on the periphery Of the wheel.
Obviously the current Will flow from
one brush into the metal of the wheel,
and thence into the other brush, so
long as the wheel remains clean. If,
however. little patch of paper or
other insulating material be attached
to the periphery at a certain point, ev-
cry time 1t comes around it will break
the contact between one brush and the
wheel, and thus open the circuit. AS
soon as the patch is past the connec-
ton will be restored.
his, however, was NV IhC VA"N'
plan really pursued. In practice
long, narrow strip of paper was kept
in motion by the wheel, just as a belt
is by a pulley. This strip has been
previously perforated with holes of diff
ferent lengths, long or short, and care
fully spaced. One brush rested on top
of 1t. and the other pressed upward
against it from below, the two being
removed a short distance from the
wheel. and situated one directly above
the other. SO long as the brushes were
separated by the paper strip no cur
rent would flow, but when a hole per-
mitted one to reach through and touch
the other the current would be restor-
ed. The interruption and reservations
of the current always occurred at the
zero stage, between positive and mega
tive waves, so that no sparkling result
cd after the brushes were once ADJUST
ed. The wheel p was geared to the
DYNAMO so as to make one revolution
to every 1874 half-cycles. The perforat-
ed tape is indicated az Z. The current

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form Ct
female weal1nessareinvitedto promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinllham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish If she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.
