The Last Opportunity.

The late Colonel Robert G. Inger-
soil, the famous skeptic, told many
stories of experience which grew out
Of the common knowledge of his skep-
ticism. One Of these related to a
visit which he once made to Rev.
Philips Brooks before DR.. Brooks be-
came bishop.
Calling on DR.. Brooks, he was re-
fused admission because, as the serv-
ant said, it was "sermon day., and
some of DR.. Brook own home people
had already been denied admission.
But DR.. Brooks learned that Ingersoll
was at the door and sent out word
that he should come in.
After the interview, and as Colonel
Ingersoll I was about to leave, he said:
''Dr. Brooks, your man told me
that you had denied yourself to some
of your home people this morning.
Now, how is itthat you have admitted
me, Stranger
'Oh, that's ouite easy, said DR..
Brooks, laughing. "They are my
church members, and shall see them
again, here or in Heaven; but ism t it
right for me to consider your belief
and that shall probably never meet
you again?' ?'-Youths Companion"

THE MAN AT THE KEY
he KEEPS THE ARMY IN TOUCH WITH
THE NATION


When Skaters army moved up to
Santiago, the telegraph wires followed
the head of the column and kept un.
broken communication with Washing.
ton. During the advance on the city the
field telegraph station moved up with
the field headquarters, and at times the
men ut the key clicked off messages
snarled overhead. Such are some of the
results Of the improvements which have
been made in army telegraphing.
No sooner had Skaters army estab.
lished landing place at Baiquiri than
connection by wire was made with
Guantanamo, where the cable to Mole
st. Nicholas Haiti, had been picked
mp. This put him in direct communica.
ton with Washington. AS he drove the
Spaniards before him men from the sig.
nal corps strung telegraph wires from
the palm trees, and thus, like q huge
spider spinning u single thread, the
army left behind it thin trail Of sing
ing wires.
Telegraph wire has been reduced so
in weight that man can transport two
miles of insulated double conductor as
rapidly as column of cavalry can
move. This includes the weight of the
reel for paying out the wire, as well as
of the wire itself. The flying field tele-
graph and telephone makes kit weigh
ing not to exceed 10 pounds and this
includes q diminutive Morse key and
buzzer, so that messages can be sent
simultaneously from both instruments.
We have at the head Of our signal
corps in General Greedy an officer
whose tastes are all in line with his
professional speciality. Nothing delights
him more than to experiment and in
vent new methods in electrical field
work. In his report for 1894 be drew
attention to the increasing value of the
telephone in warfare, with special ref
erence to the war between China and
Japan, which was then under way. All
late wars he said, indicate that cleo.
trical connections are Indispensable to
the success of any army operating on a
base apart from the general Geographic
system.
He recorded the marvellous success of
experiments made in the army with the
