Receiver That Can Be Made to Whisper

The Introduction of typewriter machines
In telegraph offices, on which operators
take down the messages received, has me-
cessitated increasing the volume of sound
emanating from the saunders in order to
make their clicks clearly distinguishable
above the click Of the typewriter machine.
The result has been that the noise in tele-
graph offices has In many cases increased
to such an extent as to be o serious menace
to the health Of the operators.
In order TO reduce this noise and 70
make the received message entirely secret
q special sounder has been invented. The
sounder, which is inclosed In hard rub
Der case, Is very light, the whole thing,
with conducting cord complete, weighing
but four ounces. 1t can be used not only
without the slightest inconvenience to the
operator but much to his comfort and ad-
vantage, relieving him Of all unnecessary
nerve and physical strain. 1t can be at
tached directly to the main line, where 1t
acts as q combined relay and sounder,
giving all the service of both, without any
of the disadvantages and annoyances Of q
main line sounder.
The mechanism of this little instrument
is very simple, consisting of set of electro
magnets of from 3 to 100 ohms resistance,
according to requirements An ingenious
arrangement of the armature and lever
brings the former in actual contact with
the poles of the magnets in such manner
as to double the working force of the ar1na-
ture. The armature lever is provided with
hammers, which In action strike upon a
resonating plate A shifter or switch at
the side of the case draws the hammers
from the plate and reduces the sound to
minimum.
Owing to the loudness Of the sound
when the hammers strike upon the reso-
mating plate messages may be received with
the sounder placed on the table or desk,
and In this way it may also be used for
call, thus combining in one instrument
both loud and secret sounder. Should 1t
be desired to take secret message the
sounder is adjusted from the outside by
means of the shifter referred to, which Is
graded so that the operator may regulate
the volume of sound to suit his own ear.
This may be from the faintest click to the
full volume of the loudest sounder The
instrument is then worn on the head. The
case and headband being made Of hard
rubber insrres the operator from shock
from abnormal currents passing through

TUESDAY, MAY 81, 1898.

WHATEVER conclusion the heretofore
rival trolley companies may reach, there
need not be any receding on the part of
the county The competition that has ex-
listed has shown concIusively that the priv
ileges sought are of value to those who
have been attempting to secure them.
The withdrawal of one company or the
consolidation of the two organizations will
not reduce the value of the franchise.
Two offers have been made and all that
remains for the Board of Freeholders is to
frame an ordinance containing the best
features of those offers and give it to the
company that remains in the field. The
franchise is worth as much now as it was
a month ago, and while it may be an i'm
possibility, in the absence of competition,
to secure an advance, there should not be
any receding.

With the net importations of gold for
the current fiscal year reaching round
800, 900, 900 and $65, 900, 900 added to the
yellow pile from the home production
coined at the United States MINIS, it is
hardly to be wondered at that the late
Presidential candidate. w. ]. Bryan, has
decided that colonel's commission in the
United States Volunteers, with the sal
airy payable in gold or it's equivalent, is
worth dozen future Presidential candi-
dacies on forty cent silver dollar plat
form
While Candidate Bryan still makes a
free coinage speech occasionally, if he is
paid enough to make it worth his while,
it is evident that he thinks free coinage
at the ratio of 16 to one of the dogs that
have had their day, and that it is time for
prudent candidate to look for another
job The unexpected Spanish war has
furnished him his job and he has prompt
ly accepted it, and it will not be amiss for
the honest but misguided following of
Bryan, who have been led to the support
of free coinage through his sophistical ar
guments, to follow their leaders example
and desert a cause against which even the
stars in their courses seem to be arrayed
For it must now be evident to every
man who thinks that with the worlds
production of gold greater than at any
former period and trade condition that
draws European gold to this country at
the annual rate of 800, 200, 900, free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is
dead and buried issue in the United States
The silver mining interests will continue
to agitate the subject in mild sort of
way and a few theorists will still continue
to believe in the justice of the demand for
cheap silver dollars, but with Bryan aban-
doning his Presidential dreams for pro
sale colonelcy the great mass of those who
supported him on the free coinage issue
will be likely to conclude that their cause
has made its exit along with their lead
er. The free coinage canse seems to be
in the last stage of hopeless decline

WHAT change can be wrought in a
short space of time. Not very long ago
a number of persons representing them
selves to be the Monmouth Traction Com
pany applied for the privilege of build
ing a trolley road in certain sections of
this county. These people were well
versed in all the methods of advancing
such projects, and they were ably aided
in their efforts by counsel wisely selected
from the municipalities that it was said
we're to be benefited by the project The
applicants were very belligerent and AFRO
CANT, with chips constantly on their
shoulders There was no hesitancy in
making assertions that their company,
failing to secure the desired franchise,
the transaction would come to an end, no
others need apply. Statements of a rival
organization were greeted with derision,
sneers and abuse. But look at the situa-
ton nowl The same representative not
only spoke unchallenged, but the other
side conceded the truth of his remarks
and acknowledged that there was chance
for some other company than theirs, the
only stumbling block being the settlement

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

Vermont is getting its full share of
glory. To have produced Admiral Dewey
would seem enough glory for one small
state, but to be the mother also of Captain
Clark, of the battleship Oregon, who
brought his ship $4,000 miles to reinforce
the Atlantic squadron, gives Vermont I'M
usual distinction.

It is stated that there are not less than
1, 400 islands in the Philippine group.
With proper management each one of
these little islands could be made the do

ded There was not G tree or
shrub in sight. Far as the eye could
reach was the vast stretch of un-
broken prairie, covered with its thin
coating of buffalo grass. Not even a
weed broke the monotony of the
landscape. Under large shed a

ened to speeches by the promoters
of the enterprise and were then taken
ont and the system was explained to
them. 1t is the greatest irrigation
enterprise in the United States and
perhaps in the world. This and the
ether irrigation enterprises now pro
jected in southeastern Colorado, it is
estimated, will put nearly million
acres of land under irrigation in the
counties of Fremont, Pueblo, Otero,
Bent and Prowers by the year 1901.
Irrigation is of great antiquity
In India are to found extensive res
ervoir and canal systems, built ages
ago. In New Mexico and Arizona
there are still well preserved remains
OF extensive systems of irrigation,
built by some pre- historic race. 1t
makes agriculture absolutely certain.
The farmers crops are neither rotted
by excessive rainfalls, nor do they
perish from droatb. In my opinion
man who invests now in farm land
in southeastern Colorado, which are
under and accessible to an irrigation
ditch, will double his money inside
of five years.
One of the enterprises which has
perhaps done more to develop south
eastern Colorado and bring 1t into
notice is the Santa Fe railroad. This
corporation unlike many railroad
corporations, has taken the people
into partnership and it is understood
that whatever enterprise advances the
interests of the people the Santa Fe
is ready to promote.

Schools.

On last Friday afternoon the high
school pupils began the regular lit
erary exercises of the year with a
very creditable program. Their so
ciety, known as the Senior Society,
has been very much strengthened
since last year owing to the large in
crease in the attendance in the high
school. There were sixteen numbers
on the program last Friday, and a
very commendable feature was that
every duty was performed. The
present officers of the society are;
president Odessa Novels; vice pres
ident, Leta Smith; secretary, Agnes
Mourning; marshal, Harry Goodale;
curators, Corinne Morehouse, Josie
Silver and Fay Huddleston. The
next session of the society will be
held on Friday afternoon, October a.
Pupils of the eighth grade have
also organized for literary work
Their officers are; president, Bessie
Lee; vice president, Vance Hover;
secretary, Charles Downing; marshal,
Ora Everett; committee on program,
Claude Amos and Arthur Sample
Exercises in this grade will be held
regularly at the same time as those
of the high school.
