(New President of the Argentine Republic. !
mencing, and Gen. Roca was immedi-
ately made candidate for the presi-
dency, and was elected for period of
six years, from 1880 to 1886.
Gen. Roca was born in the province
OF Tucuman, Argentina, July II, 1843.
At an early age he entered the Ma
tional college of the province of Entire
Rios. The breaking out of the war with
Paraguay compelled him to abandon
his studies, and to enter the army as
a sub-lieutenant in the artillery. He
took part in the principal battles of the
campaign, and was promoted to the
rank of staff major.
Peace with Paraguay being adjusted,
he was sent to the frontier, which was
menaced by the Pampa Indians. The
tribes Of Central Pampa and the plains
of Patagonia were making frequent
raids into districts devoted to cattle
raising, and the government was COM
PEELED to maintain an army on the
frontiers, where line of fortresses
and blockhouses had been established
connected by telegraph.
Every Argentina statesman had
failed to settle the frontier problem I'M
til the young officer, who was then
Lieut.. Col. Roca, located in village at
the front of the line of defense, and
completed plan of conquest of the
anstral lands of the republic, and sub
mitted them to the authorities of the
nation. President Avellaneda, on being
informed of the new project, made
Roca the secretary of war.
As, commander general of the expedi.
tionary forces of Rio Negro in 1875 Gen.
Roca, at the head Of one of the divi.
sions of the army, undertook the con.
quest of the Pampas. The Indian tribes
were surrounded, fought, pursued to
the boundaries of the Pampas, and a
few months afterward the conquering
general reached the banks of the Rio
Negro, having subdued in his march
all the Indian population, and taken
possession of an immense territory.
After Gen. Roca's first term as .presi-
dent expired, in 1886, he visited Europe
and there met the leading political
and military men of the old world.

INCREASED GOLD PRODUCTION.
Gold Stan ilard Advocates Are Ac-
knowledgin& the Truth-Free
Silver Doctrines.

The goldbug newspapers are rejOic-
ing over the fact that gold production
was vastly increased last year. They
say the increase in the volume of gold
currency will insure increased pros
perity. It is true that if the increase
in gold production is great enough,
business will feel the benefit. If the
volume of gold currency could be
doubled, for example, boom would re-
suit, the beneficial effects of which
would reach the workingmen instead
of stopping short in the offices of trust
magnates. Free silver men know these
things, but heretofore the gold papers
have pretended disbelief in the benefits
of an increased volume of currency.
And table is appearing in the gold
papers showing that prices have in
creased somewhat during 1898. If the
volume of gold currency has increased
$300,000,000, as they claim, free silver
men know that the general level prices
would increase also. The goldbug ed
itors are simply engaged at present in
publishing fundamental free silver
doctrine. But there is every reason
to believe that the increased produc-
ton of gold cannot even keep pace with
the rapid increase of population and
still more rapid increase in the volume
of business. The pinch of the single
gold standard is still felt, and will be
felt more and more. No goldbug claims
that there will ever be. gold enough
to meet the demand for currency. They
all concede that gold must always be
supplemented by silver as a subsidiary
coin and by paper although the
only style of paper money they are
prepared to recognize as honest" is
the bank note, so profitable to the
usurer who issues it. The people are
growing more and more to prefer the
free use as money of all of the gold and
silver offered at the mints, supplement-
ed with government greenbacks. Bank
controlled currency means a bank
controlled people.

QUEEN HENRIETTA.
The Life OF Leepold's Unhappy Gen.
sort Has Been Full Of Sorrow
and TF1bulations.

Queen Henrietta of Belgium, who is
now recovering from a serious illness,
though but little known outside her
husbands dominions, is exceedingly
popular in her adopted country, far
more so than King Leopold, being re-
nowned for her charity and for the
amount of good which she does, es-
pecially in the districts around Spa,
where she makes her home nearly all
the year round.
Although Brussels is so short dis
lance from Paris, yet she has through
out her married life manifested the
most extraordinary reluctance to visit

years, and the Italian government has
paid him generous sum of money az
a reward for his discoveries.
The apparatus used consists of a
transmitter and receiver similar in
many respects to the instruments used
in the ordinary telegraph office.
1.-The transmitter," Lieut.. Squire
said to Chicago Record correspond
ent, Consists of an induction coil of
great power, capable of producing a
spark. In circuit this is regular Morse
key. The spark is caused to pass
through two or more brass balls from
one to three inches in diameter. One
end of the coil runs into the ground,
the other is attached to vertical wire
which varies in length according to the
distance we wish to send the message.
1t will average about 20 feet for the
first mile, and after that by doubling
the length of the wire we can COM
municate four times the distance. The
newspapers say that for signaling 18
miles Sig. Marconi used vertical con-
ductor of 80 feet, and for 80 miles, when
he sent his message across the channel,
he had conductor ia feet long.
I'm sending a message we use the
simple Morse characters. Every time
the circuit is closed there is torrent of
sparks, which produces dot or dash,
according to the time the key is held
down. This starts series of electric
waves through the atmosphere, which
travel with the velocity of light--that
is, 10000 miles a second. We could
send message to the sun, for example,
in about eight minutes. These waves
are guided to their destination by what
we call reflector, acting on the same
principle as a reflector which concen-
trates the rays of light from a lamp,
except it is made of zinc or copper in
stead of glass.
ARRIVING at their destination, the
waves which bear our messages are re-
ceived by special instrument known
as coherer. It is a minute tube of
glass filled with filings of silver and
nickel The ends are closed with me-
tallic plugs, one being connected with
the earth and the other with a second
vertical wire similar to that attached to
the transmitting instrument. In cir
cult with the tube is local battery and
an ordinary telegraphic relay instru-
ment.
1.-The electric waves from the trans
mitter, when projected upon the little
tube have described, cause the filings
within it to cohere. That is, they mo-
mentarily are welded together by a
large number of minute discharges of
electricity between the individual
particles. While the contents of the
tube are thus agitated the electric re-
sistance is reduced and permits the
local battery to send a current through
it. This causes a regular. sounder to
repeat the signals, the message of dots
and dashes that the operator has sent
with the transmitter. The message
lean be taken either by the ear or by au:

the French capital, and in fact has not
set foot there since she lost her only
son in 1867, a boy who bore the title of
the duke of Brabant. He died so sud
denly that his death was generally
ascribed to poison. Queen Henrietta, in
the intensity of her grief, not only lent
an ear to these rumors, but became con-
vinced of their truth and laid the re-
sponsibility for the loss of her child
upon the French-that is to say, upon
French agents, who believed that by re-
moving the young prince they were
facilitating Napoleon ILLS pet scheme
of the absorption of Belgium by France.
Wild and unjustiied as this belief may
appear to-day to unprecedented people,
it led to Queen Henrietta making a
solemn VOW not to set foot on French
soil, and considerably over quarter of
century elapsed before she at length
consented to accept pressing invita-
ton from her husbands uncle, Due
d'Aumale, just before his death, remain
ing couple of days at Chantilly, with
out, however, visiting Paris.
Queen Henrietta's married life has
been one of much unhappiness. The diff
ferences between her husband and her.
self have long been a matter of notori-
ETY.. Her eldest daughter, like her hus-
bands sister, Empress Charlotte of
Mexico, is in a lunatic asylum, while her
second daughter, Crown Princess Steph-
anie, lost her husband in the shocking
tragedy of Meyering.
The queen is passionately devoted to
horses and to music, the latter being an
art which the king holds in adherence.
Her mastery over horses and her knowl-
edge of high school are as great as
were those of her cousin, the late en-
press of Austria. She is renowned as
one of the most famous four-in-hand
whips of the old world, and possesses
an extraordinary knowledge of the art
of conjuring. In fact, she is a gifted
woman of high spirits and high prin-
ciples, whose married life has been sad
dened and embittered by numerous do
nestle differences and calamities. BY
birth she is an Austrian archduchess,
sister of that Archduke Joseph who
is palatine of Hungary.
