Newcastle-on-Tyne, Sept. "A fire
broke out last night in an engine shed on

there was considerable alarm as 1t was
thought that the flames would damage
six warships that are building there.
The fire was extinguished, however, be-
fore it spread. A quantity of machinery
was ruined.
Two or three thousand hands will be
without work until the machinery is re-

q succeeded IN my undertakings for a
livelihood, bot In doing so overtaxed my
self, and undermined my health.
II was very III about two years ago with
blood poisoning, caused by an abscess that
had not received proper treatment.
"The disease settled In my throat for a
time, causing intense agony.
"Then inflammatory rheumatism set IN.
For four months and half was a prisoner

not feed myself, and the swelling in my feet
and ankles would have made walking inn

"One day, after considerable treatment,

A friend not long ago was telling me
Of her mother who Is at critical period IN

"Dr. Williams Pink Pills have not only
stopped the fainting spells, but given her 80

To more highly endorse her words, Mrs.
Browning made affidavit before George W.

All diseases arising from an impoverished
condition Of the blood, and most all come
from that, are cured by DR.. William Pink
Pills for Pale People.
They act directly upon the blood. Bold

Professor Biakes System For Signaling
From Shore to Ships Hidden by Fog.
Professor L. l.. Blake of Kansas uni
versity has successfully conducted his
wireless telegraph experiments with q
receiver similar to that Of telephone.
The receiver is a sensitive apparatus
operated by the striking of the sound
waves against 1t, which in turn oper.
ates the telegraph instrument as per-
fectly as can be done by wire. The
sound waves will pass through brick or
stone walls, wood, iron and any other
substance and still operate the receiver.
Professor Blake says he does not be.
lieve the new discovery will ever take
the place of the present method of teleg-
raphy, but it can be made of great value
for signaling from the shore to ships
10 or 10 miles from the coast when the
view is obscured by fog or violent at.
mospheric disturbances, and will be Of
inestimable service in coast defense
work, in which it is now proposed to
use it. With wire running up the
mast of the vessel and receiving ma
chine in the hold of ship sound waves
sent from the shore in striking the wire
would make the communication as per-
feet as could be desired. New York

placed on their feet, they start off and
keep going until they tumble or are
knocked down by coming in contact
with some object.
They are entirely incapable Of guild
