Senator Brice's start in Life.

When Charles Foster was Governor
Of Ohio Brice owed him $1,000. Brice
went to the Governor and asked him
for a place. Foster said he could not
appoint him because he was Il Demo
crat Brice responded dryly that un-
less he got a place he could never pay
that $1,000. Foster said that he would
him. The result of the conference.
however. was that Foster gave Bricc
$500 and told him to go into Wall
street, and gave him advice where to
place the money. Brice took the mon
ey, disregarded all advice, and round,
cd up $4,000 in the street. Foster
was SO pleased he gave Brice half the
money. The latter returned to the
street, and by shrewd speculation built
up an immense fortune. He has since
that time turned the market upside
down several times. To-day Charles
Foster is practically poor man. He
met Brice in the lobby of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel within the last few days.
and Brice said to him:
"See here, you gave me a start. Let
me help you now"
Mr.. Foster felt touched by the offer
TO repay, but he declined. Mr. Foster
said:

The MOSQUITO.

The female mosquito, after she has
filled herself with blood-the male in
sect is not a blood sucker-seeks out
some dark and sheltered spot neal
Staguant water.
At the end of about six days she
quits her shelter, and. aljghting on the
surface of the water, deposits her eggs
thereon. She then dies, and, as rule
falls into the water beside her eggs. The
eggs float about for time, and then,
in due course, give birth to tiny swim
ming larvae. These larvae, in virtue
of voracious appetite, grow apace,
casting their skins several times to ad-
nit of growth.
Later. they pass into the nympha
stage, during which, after time, they
float on the surface of the water. Final
ly, the shell of the nympha cracks
along it's dorsal surface and a young
mosquito floats on the surface of the
water while its wings are drying and
acquiring rigidity. When this is COM
plete it flies away.
The young mosquito larvae, to salts
fy their prOdigious appetites, devOur
everything eatable they come across;
and one of the first things they eat, il
they get the chance, is the dead body Of
their parent, now soft and sodden from
decomposition and long immersion.
They even devour their own cast-Off
skins. In examining mosquito larvae
one often comes across specimens
whose alimentary canals are stuffed
with the scales, fragments of limbs,
and other remains of the maternal in.

this purpose is at Fort Sheridan, the
military post near Chicago. At an
hours notice it could be sent to the
scene of war, and, once on the ground,
the general in command would be able
to throw line of telegraph from one
division of his army to another, or be-
tween different parts of battlefield,
with a speed undreamed of in even the
civil war.
Military telegraphing in the army is
under the direction of the signal corps.
That part of the telegraph equipment at
Fort Sheridan was designed by Lieut..
j. E. Maxfeld, signal officer at Chicago,
and is in his charge. 1t forms one sec
ton of a military telegraph train, of
which the remaining sections in the de-
partment of the Missouri are at Fort
Riley and Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
Each of these sections comprises
three wagons. reels of wire, poles, axes,
crowbars and other tools. First in i'm
portance comes the battery wagon"
in which the battery and instruments
are carried. In actual warfare, it's
place is near the tent of the command
ing general and it becomes the main
Office of one or more lines of telegraph.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1897-06-01

destination, his knapsack becomes an
operating table. His telephone is
stripped of all but receiver and trans
mitter, resembling in form a capital
"L."
In this connection, highly ingenious
combination of the telephone and the
telegraph instrument has been made.
A small primary battery cell is con-
nected with the telephone, which is
then put on very short circuit with a
telegraph key Between the diaphram
and the magnet of the telephone is
fixed a small vibrating spring of steel.
When the key of the instrument is de-
pressed the spring sets up furious
buzzing, which stops when the key is
raised. This buzzing will be trans
mitted to the telephone receiver at the
other end of the line. BY raising and
depressing the key, according to the
Morse alphabet, these buzzes will be
transmitted and may be read through
the telephone by the operator at the tel
ephone receiver, like the click of a tele-
graph instrument. It's peculiar rec
ommendation is that by this arrange
ment an uninsulated wire will work
on wet or marshy ground, or even when
broken; the current jumping breaks
of two or three inches in length.
The officers of the signal corps have
experimental with a horse reel cart,
which has, however, never been put
into practical operation. To reel up the
wire from the ground, a compensating
mechanism, to change the speed of the
reel as the size of the roll increases must
be applied.
Still lighter lines have been provided,
to be carried in the hand by a man on
foot or on horseback. Of course, these
can be used for short distances only.
Capt. r. A. Thompson, whose station is
at San Antonio, Tex, has invented
Keeling and unreeling device to be APP
piled to a bicycle, which has been sue
cessfully used in many trials. In a trial
at San Antonio, the time occupied IN
reeling out and recovering light wire
one-third of mile in length was but two
minutes. Under certain conditions, the
bicycle is believed TO be a valuable ally
OF the signal corps.
Portable lines of telegraph were in
use in the civil war. Since then the
system has been greatly improved and
much greater speed in construction Sc
cured. The ability to establish quick
communication by telegraph has proved
of valued assistance to the troops on the
frontier, in controlling the bands of
hostile Indians. Whenever the war de-
partment shall be called upon to put the
result of its experiments TO the test Of
actual war the flying telegraph is ex-
pected to be one of the most valuable
aids to strategy in the art of modern
warfare.

1t is ten feet in length, with high wood
en- sides and canvas top, like an ice
wagon. It's wood work is painted
black; the canvas slate color. The bot
tom of the wagon is double, and in the
space between the floors are S4 bat
terry cells to furnish current for the
operation Of the proposed lines.
Steps at the back of the battery
wagon give access to the interior,
which is rudely equipped as tele-
graph office. Two drop shelves at the
sides are divided by low partitions,
forming desks for the instruments Of
four operators if occasion demand so
many. A shelf across the front may be
used for additional battery cells, if
needed. Folding chairs for operators
complete the furniture. A seat for the
driver is at the front.
Complementary to the battery wagon
are the wire wagon and the lance
truck. The first named is similar in

A ROYAL HORTIOULTURIST.
The FaVorite Occupation of King Leo
pold of Belgium.

The king of Belgium has many hob
bies, but his chief amusement is that
of horticulture. 1t has often been said
that were King Leopold obliged to
get his living, he would get frst-class
oneasalandscape gardener. Morning,
noon, and night, year in and year out,
horticulture has an ever-present
charm for him, and if he should hear
of a new flower, shrub, or tree, he will
take journey of any length in order
to see it and to procure specimens.
Quite recently he took a journey to
Italy for this purpose. He has splen-
did gardens and Conservatives, which
were until recently under the manage
ment of Mr.. Knight, Scotchman,
now dead, who had been a favorite of
the king for many years.
Mr.. Knight used to accompany the
king on many Of his walks, and a
funny story is told of one of them.
His majesty, being hot and thirsty,
stopped at a small farmhouse-where
the people were Flemish-and asked
for glass of milk, While waiting for
it to be brought he conversed with his
companion in the English tongue. AS
he was in the act of drinking the milk
the woman, not knowing the king, or
being aware that he understood Elem
ish, remarked to her husband: 81
wonder how much the long-nosed
Englishman will payp" The answer
to this was quick. "Allow me-" said
the king, in Flemish, putting down
the glass and handing her five-franc
piece, on which the head is portrayed,
''to present you with portrait of the
long-nosed Englishman. "-Cassells
Magazine.

appearance and arrangement to the
battery wagon. Inside the wagon are
four brackets on which are hung spools
containing enough wire for three miles
of telegraph line. In operation, spool
hung at the rear of the wagon pays out
the wire. Besides carrying wire this
wagon has another important use.
After the construction of the line, il
becomes an operators station at the
farther end, and for this purpose it is
fitted with shelf for instruments
across the front end. 1t carries also 12
auxiliary battery cells. The lance wag-
on, Is feet in length, carries the poles or
"lances," on which the wire is carried,
and the tools of the linemen.
With complete train, it is possible
TO construct four lines of telegraph of
a length of three miles each from cen
trail point. Let ms suppose we are with
the general of an army on the battle
field. He has ordered line of the fly
ing telegraph to be thrown to another
division Of his army. The officers and
men of the flying telegraph train are
A.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1897-06-01

ready to execute his command. The
battery wagon stands near the tent OF
the general. Near by are the wire
wagon and the lance truck, each drawn
by four horses. A mounted captain OF
lieutenant, two or three sergeants,
drivers and a squad of As enlisted men
await orders. With two markers, the
mounted officer goes ahead to mark of
with flags the general course to be fol-
lowed, which, of course, will depend
upon the topography of the battlefield.
Close behind them come the pinmen,
who plants small stakes at the points
where poles for the support of the
poles supporting the wire are to be set.
They are followed by the wire wagon
flying over the ground and leaving be-
hind it a slender iron trail. The wire
wagon is followed by the lance truck,
on which are piled the slender shafts
of dry cypress, three inches in diameter
and fifteen feet in length, on which the
support of the wire depends. AS the
''lanceman" on the truck throws off the
lances at the places indicated, they fit
the top of each with a rubber insula tor.
AS fast as the lances are scattered,
they are set in place by the squad of
"barmen," who follow close upon their
heels, with heavy crowbars. They sink
holes in the earth, string the lafices
upon the wire, set them in position and
lamp down the earth. At every third
or fourth lance a clamp insulator holds
the wire taut. When the end of the line
has been reached the barmen return
to strengthen the line, and to watch il
for accidents. On reaching the wire
wagon, the wire is attached to the OBJ
orators instruments Oh the shelf in the
wagon, the ground circuit completed,
and the line is ready for the transmits
sion of the generals orders.
All of this has been accomplished
much more rapidly than the description
would indicate. In practical drills,
from a mile to mile and half an hour
of this line has been erected.
The line described may be left for
days or weeks. 1t may be used with
either telephone or telegraph. When
temporary communication only is re-
quired it may be secured at much
more rapid rate. The wire used in the
manner just described suninsulated, and
it must be carefully protected at every
point of contact. For more rapid work
an insulated wire is required. For still
more rapid communications, for ex-
ample when battle is in progress, a
smaller wire may be unreeled from a
hand cart, which is much in appearance
like barrel cart, and left upon the
ground. The cart may be pushed by
a telegraph operator, who carries in a
Knapsack q battery cell, telegraph and
telephone instruments. Arrived at his
