THE LATEST WONDER
Wireless Explosion of Powerful
Submarine Mines.
New and Curious Application of
Electricity to Purposes of War
fare Recently Exhibited
Mt London.

The latest wonder of wireless teleg-
graphy, says the Golden Penny of
London, is the explosion of a subma-
rine mine by electrical waves from a
transmitter used in wireless teleg-
raphy. In a showcase in one part of
building is placed an automatic
transmitter, which is insulated A
storage battery of four cells is placed
in the lower part of the case, which
feeds the primary of four-inch spark
coil, the current from the battery first
passing through an automatic circuit
breaker.
This automatic circuit breaker is so
arranged that it will make and break
the circuit in the same manner as a
telegraph operator would when manip-
ulating his Morse key in the act of
calling. In this way it will be seen
that the sparks from the secondary
of the coil are intermittent, and their
duration is governed by the length of
time during which the automatic cir
cult breaker allows the circuit to be
closed while making the dots and
dashes. Immediately in front of the
induction coil is placed the improved
oscillator, which consists of two solid
brass balls about four inches in d.
ameter, as shown in our illustration,
mounted so that the distance between
them is adjusta BILE.
Outside these balls are placed two
smaller balls about an inch and half
in diameter attached to sliding brass
rods, on the outer end of which are
other balls one inch in diameter, so
that the distance between the large
and the small balls can be easily ad-
iusted. The secondary terminals Of
the coil are connected to binding posts
on the base of the oscillator. The dis
lance between the balls being properly
adjusted and the current turned on
from the battery, the sound of the sec

Khartoum, the latter now being in
ruins.
The accounts of the battle, says the
Chicago Record, tell the old story Of
gallant but unavailing bravery on the
part of the men of the desert led by
their brave emirs and the scientific
and terrible slaughter in their ranks
caused by the MaXim7N ordenfeldt bat
teries and the superior arms and dis;
cipline of the invading army. The
Anglo-Egyptians lost about 500 men
killed and wounded, an evidence, under
the circumstances, of the heroic
bravery Of the assault upon its lines
by the cavalry and infantry under the
black flag of the khalifa. AS was to
be expected, the latter was outgen-
eraled at every point and the sirdar's
army, protected and supported by gum
boats. was practically invincibe
The expedition which has thus re-
deemed the prestige of the British
arms in the Soudan started two years
ago, and its advance, considering the
distance and the difficulties in pro-
vlSlonlng and transporting the army,
has been comparatively rapid. Africa
is land of enormous distances, and
the care with which each progressive
step was taken showed the determine
ton of the invaders to make no mis-
take this time. To the fore thought and
ability of Lord Cromer in financing
and aiding the army and to the bril-
liant military genius of the sirdar the
success of the expedition is chiefly
Cue. England, as a result, again holds
her head erect in Africa, and it is sig
nificant that Germany and Italy have
been prompt to congratulate her on
a remarkable victory. The power Of
the dervishes is broken and this time
the English flag will remain in Khar-
toum.

ondary sparks passing between the
balls can quite easily be recognized as
the dots and dashes of the signal.
In another part of the building, di-
rectly opposite and about two hundred
feet distant, is placed the receiver,
which consists of a Clarke coherer re-
lay and receiving instrument which
has a large six-inch vibrating bell con-
nected up in the local circuit, in addi-
ton to the telegraph sounder. This
six-inch bell is continually ringing out
the Morse signals, and by holding
down the hammer of the bell the sound
er can be distinctly heard repeating
the same call.
In the center of a garden Is placed
a large tank of water, and miniature
warship is placed in this tank and
f1oated over submarine mine, which
Is connected to a coherer, relay and
battery placed Immediately outside of
the tank. One terminal of the CO.
herer is connected to earth and the
other 20 an insulated wire rising about
ten feet in the air.
When the time comes for exploding
the mine under the ship, the oscillator
is stopped and connection made in
the tank between the coherer and the
vibrating bell which is used for testing
purposes. The osciiiator is now start
ed for an instant, to see if the bell at
the tank rings, thus proving that the
coherer is in proper adjustment.
The bell is now disconnected and
connection made to the submarine
mine instead, and at a signal from
the attendant the man at the trans
mitter again presses the button, which
throws the current into the oscillator.
The coherer completes the local cir
cult and the mine instantly explodes,
breaking the warship into splinters
and throwing it and the water high in
the air. OF course, it Is understood
that the mine is provided with an orr
binary electric fuse.

At least that's what he used to do.
Now he is in Jail. He turned in signed
orders to his employers until they put
him down as the best there was in
the business. And it looks as if they
had sized him up about right. The
people whose names were signed to
the orders claim that they don't know
anything about them and the agent
retorts that there is no reason why
they should, as he simply hypnotized
them and had them sign under that
influence. If he can make his plea
stick there is lot of trouble ahead
for lawyers and judges.

lived in Europe, where his skill as a
surgeon and his ability as a man of
letters have given him great fame and
fortune. His father was wealthy, and
the doctor was educated abroad. On
his return to Puerto Rico he was soon
the possessor of a great practice in his
speciality. He did not believe in slavery,
but did not preach against it,. At the
same time he manifested his disapprov-
al of the institution by buying a negro
slave baby every month, and then pre-

parts of the group and practiced medi-

special study ofDur political, econom-
teal and educational institutions. His
practice in Paris has made millions
