CRUISER SAILS TO GET DREYFUs
DEPARTURE OF THE sFAX FROM FORT DE
FRANCE FOR DEVILS ISLAND

DEPARTURE OF THE sFAX FROM FORT DE
FRANCE FOR DEVILS ISLAND.
Fort de France, Island Of Martinique, June g.
The Admiral commanding the French squadron
in these waters received yesterday an order to
send the cruiser Sfax to take Dreyfus from
Devils Island. off the coast Of French Guiana,
and convey him to France. The Sfax, which is
commanded by Captain Cofiinienes de Nordeck,
left here for Devils Island at 10 o'clock yester-
DAY evening.
There is no truth In the report that Dreyfus
has embarked on board the steamer Vile de
Tangier.
The Sfax sailed quite Unexpectedly. 1t was
not until q O'Clock in the afternoon that her
commander was instructed to sail. and the
cruiser left the port as nhe could get up
steam and take board the necessary pro-
visions.
The authorities Of Cayenne foresaw four days
ago that the Sfax would leave Fort de France
on her present mission. and at O'CLOCK thlS
afternoon the dispatch boat Goeland. stationed
in the waters of French Guiana left Cayenne,
the capital for Devils Island having on board
the superintendent Of the pententiary and the
commander Of the marine artillery. These off,
cias delegated by the French Government
to inform Drcyfus officially OF the revision OF
his trial.
Dreyfus had already received, the day before
yesterday from his wife. a cable message an
nouncng the decision Of the Court Of Cassation.
Dreyfus however, will be under charges after
being officially informed Of the Courts action In
his case, but he will be able to resume wearing
the military uniform Of his rank, in order so 10
appear before the new Council of War.
The Goeland will be back at Cayenne to-rnor-
row. -
The dispatch boat Goeland took also captain
Of the Cayenne gendarmerie. with squad OF
gendarmes, act guard for Dreyfus, VINO
from this day ceases TO be under the surVell-
lance of the agents Of the Prison Admlhlstra-
ton.
Telegrams to or from him. however. are in the
mean time subject TO the supervision or the
prison authorities.

AGES OF FRENCH BRIDES.

The Hachette Almanac for the current
year gives some very interesting statis-
tics as to the ages Of brides in France.
Only thirteen out of 100 u women
marry between the ages of Is and 20.
From 20 to % years the average is sixty
out of 100. The further from her twenty
fifth year the maid travels the slimme
are her chance for marriage; still up to
30 years the nuptial chimes ring out for
twenty-five out of 100.
Maids from 30 to 35 years old have
twelve chances in 100; from 35 to 40
years six, and from 40 to As years only
five in 100. There is only one lucky fe-
male in 100 who marries when between
Is and so years old.
It must not be supposed, however, that
after so oblivion covers the hearts of "be
lated maids" Even between the years OF
SO and 65 there is a chance for one maid
among 1865.
The strongest competitors maids have
to %ncounte are the widows, for they
marry with equal, if not better, chances
than their single sisters.

DUPLEX TELEGRAPHY EXPLAINED

Lewiston (Maine) Journals: Lee me en-
deavor to explain the principle of duplex
telegraphy. I shall not attempt to go in
to details, for it is too complicated to
permit it in the time allotted me.
In the first place, a duplex gives to
side, that is, one operator at each end
may send and one at each end may re-
ce1ve: two cannot send or receive from
either end at the same time.
The principle of the duplex lies in the
arrangement Of the instruments in such
a that the receiving instrument
at the home station responds only to the
signals of the transmitting key at the
distant station, and vice versa. This is
accomplished in different ways. In one
system a differentially wound relay is
used, a relay having two windings in OPP
posite directions. In this case the con-
nections are such hat the battery at the
home station passes through both wind
ings of the relay, each winding having
an equal influence upon the armature,
but in opposite directions, so that any
magnetic effect is ~neutraliZed, and the
armature does not respond to this bat
terry. The battery from the distant
station, however. only passes through
one winding of the relay, SO that a mag
netic effect is produced and the
actuated.
In another system, a polar relay is
used, which responds only to a certain
direction of the current.
Next comes the quadrup1ex. This is a
double duplex, capable of transmitting
two messages in each direction at the
sam time. This system, in addition to
the duplex already spoken of, and which
constitutes the first side of a quad, has
an extra duplex which is termed the
second side" This extra duplex is OBJ
tanned by utilizing an instrument called
a neutral relay, which is sensitive only
to an increase in the current strength
over that required for operating the in
struments of the first side.
The duplex and quadruplex systems,
just described, are operated by sound the
same as ordinary circuits: but we now
come to machine transmission and high
speed biography for increasing wire
capacity.
There have been many inventions Of
his character, the most prominent and
successful being what is known as the
Wheatstone system, the invention of Sir
Charles Wheatstone.
This system is used extensively in
England where it originated, and also by
the Western Union Telegraph
in this country, between New York and
Chicago, and other large cities. 1t may
be worked either singly, duplex or quad
ruplex, as the case may be, and although
l have no records at hand regarding it's
| working, | believe that ordinarily a speed
of 200 words per minute can be maintain
ed, although over a thousand words per
minute has been achieved. Thus it will
be seen that at an ordinary rate of speed
and with a quadruplex arrangement, the
capacity of a single wire may be in
creased to a thousand words per minute.
There are drawbacks to the system,
however, the principal one being the
preparation Of the transmitting tape. 1t
is an entirely automatic system through
out, and can best be described by COM
parison to a music box, into which you
insert a roll of perforated paper, turn the
crank, and it does the rest.

Questions Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or
biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution, or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles at Eastman
