NeU Telephone Which, Gan Shodt.,


According to report from London, an
ingenious and desirable improvement Of
the telephone has just been perfected
The inventor is a Frenchman. M. Ger
main, who Is attached to the French
ministry Of posts and telegraphs. 1t oc-
CURED to him some time ago that the
usefulness Of. the telephone would be
greatly enhanced > II the sounds trans
mitted over it could be heard at q great
er distance and with more 'distfnctness
than in the case at present. and he at
once set to work to make an improve
ment In this direction.
Now, the story goes. he has SO adapt
ed the telegraph wire that the micro
phone is made to develop and intensity
the vibration received, the result being
that it is unnecessary to place the re-
ceiver to the ear or stand with the mouth
close to the transmitter. In other words,
it is claimed that by the use Of this new
attachment conversation can be easily
carried on between two persons. both of
whom may be several yards distant
from the instrument. We are also told
that this Improvement. which is famil-
iarly known as 1.-The high speaker" has
been officially tested on several occa-
sions and has proved a complete sue
cess.
I showed the London dispatch con-
tanning this story to Mr.. J. ]. Carly, chief
engineer of the New York Telephone
company, yesterday and asked him for
his opinion. He said:

phone circuit that speech can be trans

A Short Froptier Story


Every one who has lived in a mining
country in its early periods, before Its
resources had been prospected and pretty
we'll defined, will recall the fact that
stories and rumors Of a mysterious mine
of great richness. which exists somewhere,
are always In circulation. The discoverer
of this mine is either dead without hav-
ing revealed its exact situation, or 1t is
known to the Indians. who are compelled
to secrecy by awful oaths or fear of. death
from their chief, or members of their
band; at any rate, there is always a pro-
found mystery connected with the hidden
treasure that envelopes it with a tinge of
romance. and a spice of danger to those
who seek to break the spell and lift the
veil. There is also just enough known
about 1t, which has leaked out through
some obscure channel, to lend some slight
probability to. the story, and many have
been the attempts to discover the bo-
nanza by credulous and adventurous min
ers, but without success.
When 1 was living in Nevada, In 1864,
became closely associated with an old
Mormon by the name OF Rose. He had
been a settler in the Washoe valley long
before the discovery of the rich silver
mines at Virginia City, known as the
Comstock lode, and necessarily at a time
when no one inhabited the country but
Mormons and Indians. The principal tribe
of Indians was the Piutes, whose head
Chief was Win-ni-Muc-ca. These Indians

ONCE LOST $4,000
NoU Lives on 50 Meek.

He lives in Mills Hotel No. /, and peo-
pie call him 'Old Man Tuttle" His real
name is S. G. Tuttle. Fifteen years ago
he was a power in Wall street, classed
among the money kings of the day, says
the New York World
Mr.. Tuttle has many estimable quail
ties. but these would never have made
him famous. He will live in the history
of Wall street as the man who lost 81, 900,
600 in single week without moving a
muscle of his phlegmatic face. Many a
man has failed on the street and won a
new fortune. and for time Mr.. Tuttle
seemed likely to do So But 1t soon began
to bo said among the brokers that Tuttle
was not playing the market with his old
fire and dash.
1t somehow got about that Tuttle had
lost his wife and children-two boys.
From that day he became "Old Man Tut
tie" He could see millions swept from
his grasp without tremor, but the death
of his wife and children was too much.
Tuttle tries to forget the past by read
ing. All day and far into the night he sits
in the reading room of the Mills hotel and
reads the newspapers over and over again
in vain endeavor to keep his mind off
the past. 1t was here that reporter
found him.
Friends, friends he unused, with a
far-away look, its money I want
money" His face twitched spasmodl-
cally and he clinched his enfeebled hands
at the thought of gold.
"You ask me-" he repeated, ''to give my
views on the course that a young man
should follow who is trying to get on in
the world. Surely no one can be benefited
by what I have to say. Ask Washington
Connor or some like money power for an
opinion. 1t would carry some weight.
Il never was anything but a plain.

tinued. 81 never cared for the theater
or opera. AS boy 1 was fond of base
bail, that was about all. T never cared
especially; for horses. I did delight to
fish and to smoke, but I've had to give
up. even smoking now. It's expensive,
and I dare say it isn't good for me-
Mr.. Tuttle was prevailed upon to ac-
cept cigar.
Now, as to your question:" he began,
as he lit it with an air Of great relish.

young man or young woman Is common

Then Mr.. Mitchell was relieved and Edi-
tor Mccullough deputized Michael An.

the great religious daily. That Incl
dent did not permanently sever Sanders
from tho Globe-Democrat. He was. back
on the staff when the affair grew cold.
WIFE CUT HIM DOWN.
One evening Sanders entered his house
with the remark to his wife that he was
going out to the wood shed to hang him
self. Mrs. Sanders was chatting with
neighbor at the time, and gave little heed
to Cliffs remark. Suddenly she remark
ed to the lady with whom she was con-
yersing:
Il wonder If Cliff would do thatt''
Then, picking up butcher knife. she
hurried to the woodshed, arriving just
in time, for there was Sanders hanging
by the neck and unconscious. Mrs
Sanders promptly cut the rope and the
enterprising reporter was soon revived.
The following Sunday there appeared IN
the Globe-Democrat graphic two

Of man who had been hanged. The In
cident created great sensation at the
time. ana the article was widely
copied. Sanders carried, ~ . souvenir

conditions which; are not found IN pEac-
tice, and furthermore d they are not COM
patible with the proper commercial work
ing of the telephone lines. The great
desideratum in telephony is not so much
to make the telephone speak out loudly
in the room, but rather to make the tele-
phone speak distinctly and for very great
distances We have succeeded in
making. the telephone speak dis
tinctly and for considerable distances,
as the local and long distance service OF
this country testifies. We have not yet.
however, succeeded in talking for great
distances under ground or under water.
unfortunately, none of the devices ap-
plieable to the loud speaking telephone is
OF any use to us in making the far
speaking telephone. The difficulties en-
countered In making the telephone speak
across an ocean cable are as yet insur-
mountabie. They are OF a peculiar and,
as yet, an unknown nature. A great re-
ward awaits the man who will make the
ocean telephone a success, not SO n>Nsh
because there is a demand to talk TO
Europe. but because 1t would enable us
to extend our underground systems
throughout our own country. In the
present state Of the art the underground
telephone Is not n success beyond the
confines of large cities. =

BLOODLESS DUEL.
Early In. the eighties there came to ST.
Louis from Memphis, Tenn, a lovely
young woman, who, in addition to beauty
and grace, possessed snug fortune. She
was feted by the st. Louis 400. At that
time Charlie Van Studdiford was the
recognized leader of the extra-swe" set
of the Mound City. His rival was Sam
Stone. son Of a prominent politician and
capitalist. Van Studdiford and Stone
struggled for supremacy in being gallant
with the fair Memphis belle and heiress.
One evening there was a ball at the
Lindell hotel. given in her honor. On that
occasion Van Studdiford and Stone quar-
relied and the latter challenged the for
mer to mortal combat. Pistols were to
be the weapons and the writer was asked

been made about his discoveries regard
ing the mill. He said HE found dam
by a mill-site. but he didn't find any
mill by a damn-site. y
Our outfit consisted of light farm
wagon, with a four-mule team, which
we procured from two Mormon brothers
who lived in the Washoe valley. and
who were skilled guides all over Ne
vada. both of whom we took along to
guide, cook. drive and care for the team.
Rose took along a pony which we led.
and the government agent, Old Rose
and myself formed the passenger list.
We were supplied with eatables and
drinkables for long campaign, but as
it does not rain but once a year in that
country. we never cucumber ourselves
on a march with tents, except in the
rainy season. In fact. the ground be-
tween the sage bushes and greasewood
trees is so dry and clean that you don't
need even blankets or robes to sleep
on. but they are usually carried.
Our course lay down the valley of the
Truckey river to its Big Bend, where
Rose was to leave us and go to Pyramid
lake for Winnie -Muc-ca. We accom-
plished this part Of the journey, dis
tance of about 100 hundred miles. in three
days. without any special incident. eX-

new to arrange the circuit so that speech
can be transmitted between distant
points without placing the mouth close
to the transmitter.
cat the exhibition of the American Bell
Telephone company in the electricity
building at the Worlds fair, Chicago,
there was an apparatus shown whereby
speech could be heard distinctly in a
large audience chamber forty feet square
Even previous to the Worlds fair DEM
,onstration scientists had been familiar
with the working of the Edison chalk
telephone, whereby speech was emitted
from telephone receiver in tone
much louder than that ordinarily en-
ployed in conversation.
Therefore the cabled description Of the
European invention applies equally well
to we'll known American devices, and
unless there is something more to be said
upon the subject we must place this lat
est wonder in the same category with
the stories of those marvellous devices,
accounts of which are cabled from Eu-
rope to this country from time to time

asked.
There has been no actual attempt at
the construction of such circuit. he
replied. but at the Worlds fair, where
this loud speaking instrument that l
spoke of was exhibited, there was paper
read by Sylvanus Thompson, a distin-
guished electrical engineer of England, in
which he described what he considered
to be a theoretical solution of the prob
lem. Although distinguished electricians
from all over. the world were, present
and discussed his paper, no one has had
confidence enough in his theories to un-
dertake the construction of one of his
cai,les." 80
In conclusion I asked Me. lCarty wheth-
er he believed that ian ocean telephone
cable was possible. and he replied:
THE ocean telephone cable is the
dream of telephonists. We all hope to
live to see its accomplishment, My belief
is that such a cable will be constructed
some day. but do not think that We
