or two inventions of other people without due
credit-suCh steering a torpedo under water
by wireless telegraphy, Teslas idea-it is hard
To say Just how original he is in his schemes.
But it Is reported that he has entered into an
Arrangement with Lord Armstrong. an English
man Of influence, to test his apparatus in a
way.
He would get some Of the Atlantic liners to
try his transmitters and receivers while cross
ing the ocean and thus to communicate with
him at a land station in England or Ireland.
The masts OF a ship peculiarly favorable to
he use of a vertical wire. such as is needed in
the Marconi system. And it ought to be posi-
BILE to persuade the managers of the ships I" CO.
operate in the tests The chief difficulty to be
met is the cost Of the apparatus. and If Lord
Armstrong some one else who has the
means will provide this the rest OF the work
should be easy II might prove feasible to
reach ships much further away than those on
Goodwin Sands are from the South Foreand.

SIR ARTHUR sULLIrANs INVENTION
A SAFETY SHAFT TO RELEASE RUNAWAY
HORSES.

A SAFETY SHAFT TO RELEASE RUNAWAY
HORSES
From The London Leader.
Sir Arthur Sullivan the well-knOwn composer
may be described man Of crochets, and as
such he has been recently addressing himself To
the amable task Of dispclling the quavers OF
those whose good or i'll fortune it is to sit De-
hind horseflesh.
For people do quaver with dread lest the ami
mails in front of them should take il into their
rerverse heads to bolt. To sit behind boiling
horses is a terrible experience. and when acct
dents to passengers ensue they are, as rule,
very severe.
Sir Arthur. it is claimed has invented a life
saving apparatus which. lightly and ipgenously
attached to carriages, can be utilized at the mo-
ment Of danger for releasing the horses Sir
Arthur has dubbed his invention the Sullivan
safety shaft
A Morning Leader representative yesterday
saw a member of a very We-knOwn firm Of
London carriage builders on this invention. !
have my doubts" said the gentleman in ques-
ton. who preferred that his identity should not
| be disclosed For years past the tribe of in
ventors has been at work on this subject OF pre-
venting accidents to carriages when the horses
bolt.
Now. of course. the whole idea is to discon-
rect the carriage and the horses But then the
carriage. if going at any speed, might i'll the
absence Of the necessary direction come to gri"r
with its occupants and what about the horses

In the first place the cOachman fraternity

An Unjust Discrimination.

EUREKA, Nevada, Oct. 10, 1899.
EDITOR SENTINEL: While our State
and county officials and taxpayers gener.
ally are sgitsted over the subject Of
valuations and taxation Of property. why
should not the people Of Eureka look to
what seems to be unjust taxation by our
Federal Government? We are required
TO pay one dollar per quarter for small.
and two dollars for large mail boxes.
The people Of other towns in this State
are said 10 pay but City cents and one
dollar for their boxes. with probably the
exception Of Reno. whose people pay
two-thirds ss much as we do.
Would IL not be only justice that our
Postmaster recommend to the P~ostofice
Department that q reduction be made in
our Box RENT.
