The achievement is only evidence OF
what electricians of the navy. of both
England and the United States. have
long held to be possible. They nave
declared that there was no reason why
communication of this sort should not
be established between ships q Few
hundred feet apart, if the weather were
at all pleasant OF course. in a gale
it would be impracticable.
The experiment that was made by
the officers of the Daring and the
Dauntless had another valuable result.
1t showed that it is possible to ar
range for a new system of signals from
one ship to another that would be
greatly superior to any nag system
which could be conceived. If the tele-
phone wire can be arranged in this
manner, there is no reason why tele-
graphic communication can not he
made in a similar fashion. In this
case an operator aboard the flagship
could carry on a conversation with his
fellow-operator aboard one Of the fleet
without difficulty. The admirafs or
ders could be easily transmitted from
time to time, and often avoid what Is
now considered necessary boat service
1t might be thought that the flying OF
a kite under these circumstances would
be a matter of extreme difficulty. but
kite flying under the latest methods
has become a science. What used to
be a schoolboy's sport has now become
a subject of study by professional mer
and it seems. quite likely that before
long even greater results viii be ob-

Communication from war ship to
~arship will soon be as easy as carry
ing on a conversation between two
military posts on land, and by the
same electrical means, the telephone.
The English naval authorities have
just tested with great success a sug-
gested novelty in the way of cummuni-
cation at sea which promises to rem
der obsolete the present methods IT
signaling.
Commander R. G. o. Upper of the
Royal Navy experimental with kite
telephone" The kite used was OF the
regulation sort. except that it was mi
nus tail. It was six feet long a1d
three feet wide at the broadest point.
In place of the tail the kite carried two
lines, one of which was retained on
board the Daring, the Institutional
torpedo boat destroyer, from which the
experiments were conducted. With
the wind between the two lines re-
ferred to it was found that the kite
was so easily managed that it was no
trick at all to drop letters or even 4
haWSer into another snip, and In this
way establish communication.
2 COL CUT
Following this experiment came one
with a wire. The end of the wire
which the kite bore away from the
ship was dropped upon the deck of H.
NJ S. Dauntless, where it was secured
by the electrician of the ship and at
tached to telephone apparatus in
waiting. The other end, which had
remained aboard the Daring, was also
attached to telephone. and as soon
as the task was completed the two
ships were in perfect communication.
The kite remained suspended. secured
by two lines. for more than four hours,
during which the communication be-
tween the Daring and the Dauntless
was uninterrupted.

fuel. The coal dust is fed into the fire
from a container in front by means of
a tube which terminates in a revolv-
ing sieve. This sieve is kept in mo-
ton by the draught, and has the ef-
feet of scattering the fuel over the fur
mace in such a way that it is at once
infiamed without smoke and with very
little ash. Coal of comparatively low
quality can be economically used in
this powdered form, and the only
drawback to the process seems to be
the necessity for using separate ma
chine for the grinding of the coal to
powder. On the other hand, the slack
or dust which forms a necessary by
product of the coal industry will find
here field for employment which will
be much appreciated by owners Of
mines and merchants generally.

They were all fine soldiers thirty years ago; but they have seen their best days. Grant was forty-two when he took Vicksburg, Sherman was but little older, while Sheridan was less than forty.

Mrs. Orr's Statement Regarding the Muir
der OF Her Husband.
Clarendon, Ark, Aug. 12.-The confess
sion of Mrs. Orr shows that she was de-
termined to rid herself of her husband.
She said that July 4 she tried to poison
ker husband, and that the negro Harris
procured some snake heads. which she
boiled in her husbands coffee, and gave
to him. The decoction made him death
ly sick. He vomited it and soon recov-
cred. She said this was the extent of
Harris connection with the matter
Mrs. Orr also stated that on the night of
the murder Dennis Record, Nance Cas-
ties and Will Sandels were concealed in
the room adjoining the dining room,
with the shotgun Nance had procured,
and Record was to shoot Orr as he ate
his supper. The shot was not fired,
however. After supper her husband
kissed hSr goodbye and told her he was
going To choir practice.
When Orr had left the house. she said.
she went to find why Record had not
killed him. The man said he could not
make the gun work. as he was not ac-
own gun and told him her husband
v ould go to certain place in the din
ing room upon his return to drink a
lemonade. and pointed out the spot
where he must stand in order to get a
fair shot. She then rolled the curtain
up over the window and pinned it up
with a hatpin, as to give the negro
an unobstructed view. She then lay
down on the bed in her own room, with
her little daughter. without removing
her clothing, and calmly awaited the re-
turn of her husband to his doom.
