SPARK TELEGRAPHY.
Almost Limit1egs Possibilities of the
Method of TeIegraphtng With
out the Use of Wires.

Privy Counsellor DR.. Slaby, of Char
4ottenburg, Germany, contributes an
article on 1.-THE New Telegraphy." DR..
Slaby conducted series of experiments
in telegraphing without the use of
wires before the German emperor. He
says, in concluding his article:
81 have often been asked in what di-
rections and in what field the use of
spark telegraphy might be employed.
! Our knowledge of the phenomenon in
| question is, so far, a very modest things
we are really in the very opening chap
| tiers. Who would care to say to-day how
| far, and whittier, the path will lead us?
do not purpose to paint pictures of the
| future, but 1 believe / can state with
| emphasis that for certain purposes the
new telegraphy is ripe to-day, and
well worthy of consideration. The most
important appear to me to lie IL the
military field. Besieged fortresses, and
advancing armies which have the en-
envy between them, could make use of
spark telegraphy to-day as a method of
communication. The system works
just as surely on bright day as by
night and in fog, though, to be sure,
employed, since the distances reached
when towers, masts and high trees were
used would hardly suffice in cases of
this kind.
"Quite as important is the usefulness
of the discovery for the navy. Expert
ments of last summer have made per-
fectly certain the possibility of using
captive balloons on the high sea. In
place of balloons, without doubt, one
might use the modern kites, brought
to such pitch of perfection in America,
as those of Hargrave and others.
owe it to the kindness of an acquaint-
ance in New York that know some
thing of these excellent kites, and
few experiments have already shown
me that they are perfectly adapted to
the carrying of thin wires.
"There is a future for the use of
spark telegraphy for lighthouses and
lghtships. The receiving apparatus
can easily be made in handy form,
not bulkier than a chronometer. On
the approach to lighthouse it would
not only give signs, but would tick out
the name of the lighthouse; it appears
even possible to provide the receiving
apparatus with regulator, to be adj
justed at will according to whether a
greater or smaller sensitiveness is de-
sired, whereby the distance of the light
house can be read off.
An undeniable weakness of spark tel
egraphy is this: Every telegram is i'm
parted to the whole world; every re-
ceiyer can take it up. Owing to this
reason, for the present it's application
will have to be confined to particular
cases. For practical purposes, if one
desires to protect ones self from hav-
ing dispatches read by others, there re-
mains only the use of signs arranged
beforehand. In war, to be sure, teleg-
raphy would become impossible as soon
as hostile spark generator should
cause permanent disturbance of the
characters. A very interesting battle
might occur in the waves of ether."-

Bartels gloomily explained.
Parties concerned in the last suit
drifted away in groups of twos and
threes, some to sit dejectedly whisper
ing together in the back of the room,
others to nervously pace the corridor
outside until the verdict should be
known. Certain of the loungers in the
chairs allotted to visitors, surmising
that no salacious details need be looked
for in the Mascot-Grubstalle case, lazily
betooE themselves elsewhere in search
of fresh excitement; while certain 9th
ers, perceiving NeiTs detection, and now
comprehending the pressing need of his

They arrived in this city and told of
the Illustration Of a plot to blow up the

that Americans were on board, but they
thought the train bore a detachment OF
Spanish officers from the palace.
All the telegraph wires were cut only
eight miles east of Havana, where the
Cubans had planned to demolish the
train. The Spanish troops, however.
learned Of the cut wires and met the
Cubans in a bloody engagement. AL
though the insurgents were inferior in
numbers. they killed five and wounded
