THE "RADIApHoNEr"

FieR of sOUHd--InteVestinE EI-
pertinent at New York.

Over the heads OF the crowd that
surged through Madison Square Gar
den, New York city, at the electrical eX-
hibition, a searchlight threw broad
ribbon of light. 1t acted as carrier
for any sound committed TO 1t from one
end of the garden TO the other. In
the balcony corner of the Fourth ave-
nue. and Twenty-sixth street end u
conventional telephone booth had been
erected and another at the boundary of
Madison avenue and Twepty-seventh
street. No connection between the two
existed save a big ray OF light that
, spanned the ampithsateT. The "radia
phone" proceeded successfully to send
sounds from one booth TO the other.
From the northwest balcony a
searchligbt of five horsepower sent
ray of light to the southwest corner.
Connected with the first station was
telephone booth containing three spe-
cially constructed receivers. A cornet
player inside the booth evolved Yam
kee Doodle and supplemented that air
with army bugle CALLS and both were
heard In the opposite balcony, where
nothing but the searchligbt ray and the
receiver, which is commonly attached
to the rear of anyone taking long
distance telephone message, was visi-
bic. Ni W"u '-H Ilf'' 'ht'' -

INvENTs DYNAMITE SHELL.
GnIesburE Man, shows Hew Tkey

dihary Means.

Gilbert jared private In battery b,

dynamite shell for the use OF artil-
lery which viii not be exploded by the
1ischaEgez sThis hRs beep the effort of
experts For Vyeofa and has been &c
somplished In measure by the in
yentor -I5ouls-e elpthmann,. whose gun
potton shells have been recently tested
by the goternment. q, ,,
Jared has Experimental for some
time and has finally disc9Sered proc
ess by which dynamite can. be loaded
SO that II will not be exploded until
1t strikes an object or by n fuse. The
explosion of the powder in the dis
charge does not affect II.
The invention was given a practical
test the other day under the direction
of Capt. @. G. Craig, of battery b, with
other military men and mechanical ex-
perts. Three steel shells loaded with
four pounds of dynamite each were dis
charged from an ordinary six-pound
6eld piece. Heavy charges of powder
were placed In the piece and discharged
by slow fuse. The first shell trav1
eled Intact and was buried In hillside,
another pierced heavy timber, struck
an old brick wall and exploded, doing
terrible destruction. The test proved
popclusiVely that the dynamite shells
oan be discharged with success by or
1inary processes. Mr.. Jared has Ills

THE BELT SCHOOLS.
Problem of Sufficient Funds Confronts
the People.

Great Falls, Dec. 5.-The school trus-
tees of Belt also have troubles, and at
their regular monthly meeting just
held, says special to the Standard, the
most important subject that came ap
for discussion was the question CT
funds 1t had been earnestly hoped all
along that some way would be found
to get around the special school tax
decision and that there would be no
difficulty in securing funds sufficient to
carry the schools to the end of the
term. This idea has prevailed to suci,
an extent that the people have given
the matter but little thought, and the
impression has been general that the
trustees were going to be able to run
the schools through the term without
financial difficulty. This is an erron-
eous impression, however This dis
trict must raise $500 or the schools
will be forced to close at the end Of
March. .-,-..-,.,
While no definite action was taken by
the board, 1T Is probable that a mass
meeting of citizens will be called in
the near future in the hope that some
way out of the difficulty may be found.
Some of the prominent men OF Inc
town have expressed the conVlctloh
that the best thing to do is to raise
the amount by subscription. 1t Is be-
lieyed every parent who has children
in school would gladly subscribe 81 or
40. and If they would do this suti1-
cient money would be forthcoming and
the schools could run to the end OF

A LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS.
A Great Falls Miss Who Takes Time by
the Tore1ock.

Great Falls, Dec. 5.--"If you please
won't you put a stamp on this envillem
and put it in the mail for me" said a
little yelow-haired miss Of T. as she
entered the Standard office to-day. The
outside don't look Very good she said,
thoughtfully, but I'm awful anxious
to have it sent right away, and /
couldn't find another envllem; ! spoiled
three and mamma wouldn't give me
any more; l wrote it all myself and I
do hope it won't get lost" With the
assurance that the letter would be
properly stamped and delivered, the lit
tie lady bade very disnified good
morning" and departed, carefully clos
ing the door and closing out several
rays of sunshine as well; and on the
"envillem" is this address, 1880 Mr..
Santa Clause Northe Pole And inside
the "envilem," blotched and reblotched
and bearing evidence Of great pains and
thumb marks was decipherable as fol-
lows: 1880 Mr.. santaclause, dear san

The little lady can be answered. San
to Clause got the letter; he happened
in the Standard Office later in the day
and the letter was handed to him, with
out being stampcd--and his eyes must
have hurt him when he read the letter,
because he kept wiping them with his
handkerchief; but he didn't look as
though he intended to refuse the little
ladyS list.

Foreign Hotel Keepers Bills for Dead
Guests Paraiyze the Living.
From the London Times.
Miss q. S. VALLEY writes from the
Via SAINT Antonio, Pisa: In the in
terest of English people travelling in
Italy l beg permission through your
columns to warn them against the eX-
tortions of the Hotel Minerva, Pisa.
To this end l beg to make public the
following details of the treatment of
which have been the victim: On Sep
TENDER last l was travelling from a
villa in Tuscany back to Viareggio,
having the care of an aged and be-
loved friend, who, on our arrival at
Pisa, was too much fatigued to pro-
to rest the night, we stopped at the
Minerva hotel, close to the railway
station, in order to escape the opening
OF luggage at the gate If we entered
the city. In the night my dear friend
became very Ill. The doctor was sent
for and he found her suffering from
congestion Of the brain and heart dis
ease. She succumbed to these 1naladies
in less than "a hours from the time we
entered the hotel
THE landlady of the hotel brought
forward a claim for 1.700 lire (G6S) for
damages on the occasion Of death in
the house. l, Of course, refused to pay,
and after much angry discussion she
consented to take LOO lire (e44) Eng
lish) which, unfortunately, I paid her.
I was alone, and there being no English
consul here, ! had no one to ask ad-
vice Of. Had I known how to act and
applied to the head OF the police the
iniquitious demand would have been
rejected, as in the case Of my friend :
death, according to the medical GER
tificate, there was not the vestige OF
any infection. / was informed that in
the case Of typhus or other infectious
diseases the compensation awarded is
500 lire or $50, and in the present IN
stance half that sum alone could be
claimed. The landlady refused to re-
fund any part Of the money extortad.
Public opinion is unanimous in con-
demning her.
