At the rate of 1S0 900 words an hour the

Difference In Trnnsmitter.
The receiver used is not different from
that generally employed-the siphon record
er The only change introduced is in the
transmitter, and in this there is distinct
physical difference from other transmitters.
1t sends upon the cable electrical waves of
very different shape from those sent by the
present Instruments. Experiment shows
that whatever the shape of the electromo-
tive force wave employed in transmission,
if il is periodically alternating the resulting
record received is about the same in all
cases and resembles a sine wave very
closely in shape Whatever irregularities
and sharp corners existed in the original
waves, these are all smoothed over and re-
moved by the action of the cable in trans
mission, that the record received has
much the same appearance in any case
II, however, a wave is employed in the
transmitter of the same shape as that
which is naturally received, 1t should be an
ticipated that better results would be OBJ
tanned, because the cable, SO to speak, has
no work to do in removing the irregulari-
ties and sharp corners of the transmitted
wave since they did not exist.
ReSult of the Tas<~
The result of the tests so far made is that
the signals received show greater ampli-

An exchange makes the follow
ing very pertinent observations
''In fraternal orders, as well as
in other things, there is a right
price and a wrong price to pay for
the protection afforded. Life insur-
ance is not now a matter of con-
lecture. 1t is not guess work, but
the cost is intelligently fixed by
past experience and the laws of the
human existence These laws are
known laws, and it is a crime upon
the people to permit company
to openly and notoriously make
promises and representations that
such experience and such laws
have shown will be impossible of
fulfillment. The A. o. U. w. in
vites comparison, and urges upon
those who contemplate joining the
fullest investigation"
Not only do the Workmen invite
comparison on the present stu
alton, but likewise on the prospects
for the future. The one step to the
perfecting of Work manship which
the Beneficial Commission, by
reason of limitation of time, was
unable to present to the Supreme
Lodge, will be taken up during the
coming year, after which there can
not be shadow Of IA doubt raised
in any quarter relative to the per
petuity or the equity of the Order.

The question of State Snper-
vision OF the Fraternal Orders is
constantly coming up for discus
sion in their various journals. 1t
is coming to be recognized that the
great bane of fraternalism is the
irresponsible Orders, organized and
conducted mainly for the profit of
individuals, and that honest Orders,
which are really trying to benefit
mankind and relieve the destitu-
ton of widows and orphans, are
the victims of these fake concerns,
without any protection against
them. Having no character and
no future, the fakes are ready to do
whatever may be for the moment
necessary to their main purpose OF
reaping profits for their conductors,
and il is as difficult for an honest
Order to compete with them as it is
for an honest railroad to compete
with one in the hands of a reckless
wrecking receiver. The time must
soon come when the honest Orders
will crave at the hands Of the pub
lie a larger measure of protection
than they have heretofore received.
In what form that protection will
be asked remains largely for the
future to determine, but it has
seemed to the writer that it would
be we'll for Fraternal Orders to ask
that all State standards of valu-
alton and supervision for life insur-
ance companies and fraternals alike
should be abolished, and that each
company or society desiring to do
business should furnish the super
intendtnt OF insurance of the State
in which it is located "A complete
elaboration of its plan of business,
and that 1t shall be permitted to
do business only on condition that
an intelligent, fair minded actuary
shall find that its plan of business
is such as will enable it to fulfill its
promise. 1t should then be sub
ject to investigation at intervals of
from one to five years, to enable the
commissioner to see that it is fill
ing its assumptions, and only on
such conditions should any society
be permitted to operate.-OUerSeer.

Conditions surrounding our Or
der have materially changed in the
past few years. There was time
when the A. o. U. w. had the field
of fraternal protection practically
to itself. 1t was easy to grow then.
But now there have sprung up in
Vulnerable societies with innumer-
able plans and making all sorts OF
promises, few of which can be car
ried out in the ultimate. OF course
assessments run light in these new
organizations, just as they did in
the A. O. U. w. in its earlier years.
But their time must come. Man
will die, finally, no matter what
society is carrying protection on
his life. The A. O. U. w. still leads
1t stands at the head. 1t is safe
and reliable. 1t continues also to
furnish safe protection for the home
at actual cost. No society can do
more and live.-COlorddo Record.

An exchange remarks that "If

be troublesome, one person can
keep a hundred dancing like ker-

true this picture will be recognized
to be by those who have witnessed
the performance of the ''lodge kick
err" whose principal aim seems to
be to disturb the harmony of the
Lodge, or of the kicker who, oper-
ating on broader scale, devotes
his efforts to breeding dissension
for Grand Officers to pacify. One
such person with a little trouble
himself can occupy a deal of time
of other people to rebuild what he

Some years ago a large manufaet-
uripg firm suspended, due to the bad
management of a moderate drinking
president, SINCE than they have start
ed again and have BECOME very pros
perous. One Of the rigid rules is no
drinking man shall be employed in
any capacity.
Every year this fear OF drinking
men is increasing, and every year cap.
ftal is demanding that total abstaiuers
only should be employed.
In this there is no sentiment or
theory, only cold, hard experience,
which brings only one conclusion, re-
peated over and over again-namely,
that moderate drinking men are dam
gerous, untrustworthy and unreliable.
~
God speed the right, the Joyous time,
When Satan's power shall wane:
When men shall vote from principle,
And party rights disdain.
Shall boldly dare to fight the wrong,
In Gods own strength shall stand;
Beat back the foe,. Intemperance,
And drive him from our land.
He's caused the widows heart to break,
The orphans tears to fiow; '"'
He's bound the drunkard in his chains.
And would not let him go. -
He's dug the graves of millions,
And claimed them as they fell;
Consigned them to drunkard's grave,
And TO drunkard's hell.
Then why stand up for party rights,
Why daily with this fend?
For God is just, your brother's blood
Will stain your guilty hand.
