PUDDLERs' WAGES ADVANCED.
Pay of Pennsylvania Iron Workers
Steadily Incrensed.

Reading. Pa. June 1.-THE middle of
June. when another increase took effect in
the wages of Eastern Pennsylvania pud-
dlers, shows the highest wages paid to
them in nearly fifteen years. They are
now paid from $3.25 to $3.50 ton. and all
classes of labor Immediately allied with
the pudding trade, such as helpers. heat
ers, shearsmen, etc. gA a proportionate
increase. Most of the puddlers have now
received their fourth increase, or a total
advance of from 35 to A per cent. Last
winter they were working for S2.25 and
even less. Every mill is running as full
as possible, but every one could add TO its
productive capacity if more puddlers could
be obtained.
They are actually scarce. and the pre-
diction is freely made that midsummer
will find their wages still higher. 1t was
only few years ago that puddlers could
hardly get employment. They believed
their occupation gone, and many took 20
other work. II was predicted that the
making of steel would drive out pudding.
just as the latter succeeded the forges.
Now the papers contain advertisements of
firms which want puddlers. No new pud-
ding mills have been built, but they are
all busy, and now there are not enough
puddlers to supply all of them. The de-
mand for this class of workmen is today
one of the most remarkable features of the
prosperity of the iron trade.

TO FIND sMoKELEss POWDER.
An Invention to Locate m Enemy
Protected by 1t.

Pittsburg. Pa, June 17.-Reginald A.
Fessenden, professor of electric engineer
ing at the Western University of Pennsyl
vania. declares that with a telescope which
he is now perfecting soldiers can detect
the location of hostile forces using smoke
less powder. Secretary Alger thinks
enough of the claims of the inventor TO
consider the invention. Special interest
is taken in the matter by the Administra-
tion because of the costly experience OF
American troops in Cuba and the Philip
pines.
The chemicals in smokeless powder are
such as to produce a white flash, which is
invisible TO the naked eye. in the daytime.
Prof. Fessenden procured from the arsenal
here some cartridges charged with smoke
less powder, became convinced that the
fash could be made visible by some agen-
cy that would cause a reproduction on its
surface OF the powder flash. With the as
sistance of Prof. F. f. 0. Wadsworth. di-
rector of the Allegheny Observatory, he
began experiments to ascertain what wave
colors the fash would produce upon various
colored glass. He finally found that a
glass of reddish brown shade produced the
effect he wanted-that of showing the flash
as it would appear at night, when a red
flash can be noticed.
He afterward constructed telescope and
eyeglasses for use according to the dis
tance OF the observer from the gun. For
some time he has been in correspondence
with War Department officials, and will
make a trip to Washington soon to explain
his apparatus and make tests before an
examining board, which will take action
toward urging the purchase of Prof. Fes-
senden's invention.
The professor regards the invention as a
secret of the nation and refuses to give de-
tails as TO the apparatus. The professor
is the inventor of Numerous electrical ap-
pliances, and before coming to the univer-

The passengers then raised 1925 for the
forlorn little girl. She was cared for in
Liverpool by the White Star Steamship
Company and sent back on the Germanic.
The board OF special enquiry. which
looks into all such cases. is trying TO learn
if Joseph Lichtner was a citizen of this
country. If he was naturalized the child
is entitled 10 the protection and care OF
the city. Otherwise Julia might be le-
galiy sent back to her fathers native cOun-

upon his return with his prize in tow he
was cheered for the brave act by the crews

ceived the thanks of the Confederate con-
gress.
