We therefore resolved to organize 1.-The
Flannel Shirt Club which aims to pro-
vide and distribute Systematically mems
flannel shirts to patients who are leav-
ing hospitals and infirmaries in London.
We We're Immediately assisted by a
large corps of honorary member and
donors. including the Countess of STRAIT
ford. our president: Lady Muriel Boylt.
Lady Bulktley. Hon. Charles, Byng, Lady
Elizabeth Byng and two hundred other
charitable ladies of London, including
the DoWaSer Niscountess Montmorres.
We have carried on the work two sea-
sons; and the amount of work that the
Flannel Shirt club has accomplished
mittee to place a most satisfactory re-
port before the members and other
friends who have combined to make The
undertaking a success.
The total humble of shirts contributed
UP to the end of 1898 is sol. and 257 more
have been made under the honorable Sec

the countess consented to become pres
ident of the society to which the unpre-
tending title, already quoted, was given.
AS yet we only send gifts of shirts to
medical cases, but hope in time to be able
to do something for surgical patients
also. In many instances the compulsory
idleness of the breadwinner has the eff
feet of reducing s~elf-respecting indivld-
uals to serious straits.
We are able, through the lind cooper
alton of hospital sisters and nurses, to
deal exclusively with cases of genuine
need. A committee investigates each
case. We only attempt to aid those who
work, when in health, and we do not
assist the loafer.
The outlines of this scheme were
thought out in the first place by Miss
Gotham n myself. Having been hos
pital sisters for some years we knew the
practical help that was urgently re-
quired, and determined to try and get It.
We are much encouraged by the interest
already shown in many quarters, but
we need more members or else more
donations to enable us to meet the appli-
cations which constantly reach us and
which are, of course, in excess Of the
present supplies of shirts.
All contributions are received and ac-
knowledged by the honorable secretaries,
who are Miss Gotham and myself.
Our objects, as set forth to our friends,
We're those of securing suitable clothing
for poor men discharged from hospitals,
and this led primarily to the formation
of the Flannel Shirt club.
We knew that patients nursed in hos
pital wards have every comfort during
their illness, but when convalescent they
often ave to resort to poor homes where
they can not secure even the necessities
of life. 1t can readily be understood that
a a bread winner, who has had a
serious illness, ever though apparently
well, requires special care for some time
after his recovery, and that warm cloth
ing, especially in winter, is most essen
tial for him.
We. the ladies of London. hope that
by a supply of good flannel shirts, these
men can be materially assisted to health
and enabled to face inclement weather
and personal hardships without injury.

A Flannel Shirt GLIB ~

The most unoretentious and conse-
London is under the presidency Of 4
titled American woman.
Alice. Countess of STAFFORD, formerly
Mrs. Colgate of New York. is the presi-
dent of the Flannel Shirt club, an insti-
tuition whose entire aim is to give flannel
shirts to sick men and whose work en-
braces men of every nationality in Lon
don who have been i'll.
The Honorable Ethel F. Lamport is
the secretary of the club. On being asked
TO tell its aims she writes: -.

London, Oct. 3d. 1S9a.
Dear Sir: -
In answer to your inquiry about our
Flame Shirt club. we send a o ofothe
Report, and will add a few particulars,
in accordance with your request We
should like to thank you for taking so
kim an interest in our little scheme. We
return the stamps which you enclosed.
and beg you to use them for the postage
OF a copy or two of the paper in which
you insert a notice of the F. S. G..
We have always foun it comparative
ly easy to secure suitable clothing for
neceSsitous women, but, until lately the
supply of suitable garments for men,
convalescent after severe illness, has
been %precarious and inadequate. The
plan for providing good flannel shirts for
bona-tide working men at once received
the approval and support from the late

who is wanted in this country is sus-
pected of having escaped to Europe his
police of every European city. If a great
crime should be committed and the GRIM
ina should be known to the police his
counterfeit presentlnent could be tele-
sraphed SO thoroughly over the world
that escape for him would be practically
impossible.
While these are but a few of the uses
to which such an invention could be put
they are sufficient to illustrate the great
importance Of such discovery, and in
View OF these facts it is not strange that
nave been striving to solve this
problem almost since the beginning OF
biography. During these many years
various methods have been proposed and
all have depended upon the synchronism
OF apparatus at the two ends of the line
Ihe difficulty in obtaining this has been
the principal cause for the lack of sue
cess OF the many systems of picture
geography that have been projected. To
ehutneiate all the inventors who have
been unsuccessful in their efforts to send
pictures by telegraph would be tedious.
IL Is enough that one has at last been
successful and hat it cannot be long be-
lore ms machine will be operating in
every city in the world,
Now tina this wonderful invantio, b,.
peen perfected and the details of it's CON
stEuctlon are no longer the inventors
secrets, one wonders that it should have
been SO simple. In order to explain r.

however. it is necessary to so back to
the first principles of biography. When
Morse first invented his system of tick
ing off messages by the means of dots
and dashes he found that a continuous
current of electricity was necessary. To
obtain that continuous current or circuit
it was requisite tina the electricity
should return to its starting point. Cor
q time two connected wires We're used,
but at last it was discovered that the
earth made a perfect conductor n that
by connecting the wires with the ground
at eacn end a perfect circuit could be
obtained. 1t VAS by breaking this cir
cult that the light II loud ticks of
the ordinary telegraph machine were OBJ
tanned.
For a time this was the only means of
telegrapling, but finally it was learned
that if the dots and dashes We're indented
upo strips of paper these indentations
could be reproduced by running the
paper under a key. 1t was this principle
that led to the invention of the phono-
graph and it is this principle upon which
the telegraphing of pictures is based.

Nothing in the world could be simpler
and yet it has required years of hard
and persistent work to evolve a machine
hat would accomplish this purpose. At
present, however, there is no question as
to its success. There is nothing uncer-
tain about it. The work has been ac-
coinplished. Pictures have been flashed
in an instant from one n of this coun-
try to the other, and in each case, re-
CARELESS of distance, whatever was
drawn on the tinfoil was faithfully re-
produced at the other end of the wire.
To chronicle such an achievement is to
show that a new milestone a been
planted on the roa of civilization.
Such is the invention and such is it's
effect upon the existing conditions. The
man who has finally succeeded in &C
complishing this achievement and whose
name will undoubtedly occupy a place in
history beside that of the inventor of
the telegraph and the telephone is Ern-
est A. Hummell of st. Paul. Mimi. AL
though he is still comparatively q young
man. he has been at work upon his in
vention for several years, and he is still
engaged in watching all it's operations
closely in the hope of discovering some
defects that may be remedied. Mr.. Hum
nell does not claim to be a scientist or
an electrician.

with pictures, diagrams and photographs
of events happening in all parts of the
world. If there is a battle in the Philip
pines or if there is a great fatality in
Europe the artist who may be on the
scene can Immediately provide his paper
with pictures of the event, making it
possible to reproduce the sketches a few
hours after the happening. AS the nat
ural result it is safe to assume that the
newspapers of the future will be more
profusely illustrated h those of today,
for 1t will then be possible for them to
obtain pictures from every part of the
globe, pictures that will accurately por-
tray the great events that have hap
pened.
The advantage of the new invention
will not be restricted to the newspaper
Office, however. Business men will find
it of the utmost use in the sending of
messages in shorthand or cipher and the
police of every civilized country will be
able to use it in securing the arrest and

The drawing that is to be sent over
the wire is made on a sheet of tinfoil,
which is wrapped around a cylinder in
the machine. This cylinder is very SIM
liar to the wax cylinder of the phono-
graph. At either end of the line there is
d machine and these must be twin ma
chimes, so regulated that they will work
in perfect harmony with each other. At
the receiving end of the line a sheet of
carbon paper is placed between two
blank sheets of paper. When the oper-
ator who is sending the picture turns on
the current the little needle or platinum
point above h cylinder breaks the cir,
cult whenever it touches the ink outline
of the picture. Owing to the fact that
the two machines are perfectly adjusted
the receiver r~eproduces every %pulsation
of the sending machine. When the cir
cult is broken by the sender, therefore
the needle of the receiver beats hard

While the newspapers of today are
unquestionably marvellous as achieve
ments when compared to those that were
considered the most finished productions
of the press a few years ago, the limit
to this improvement has by no means
been reached. Every year witnesses new
inventions in methods of printing. all of
which enable the publisher to increase
the attractiveness of his paper, but no
invention can do more to revolutionize
present spa methods than the
art of picture telegrap1y which is now
almost ready for practical use. Already
there have been several successful tests
of this invention. pictures have been sent
thousands of miles over the ordinary
telegraph wires. n there is every rea-
son to believe that it will not be many
months before the ~telediagraph will be
as great a necessity in every newspaper
Office as the regular Geographic receiver
is at present.
What this will mean few newspaper
readers can realize. By the use of this
machine the correspondent of a news
paper will be able to furnish his office

The president of the F.. S. c., while
gratefully acknowledging the kind inter-
est Which the public has taken in the
club, must again remind all subscribers
that flannelette cannot be accepted as
a substitute for flannel; shirts of that
material that are sent in will not there
fore be given to the hospitals, but will
be otherwise distributed.
In the hospital wares to which the COM
mittee have sent parcels of shirts, fur
Their supplies have been eagerly looked
for.

the F. S. C. was established writes a
ward sister. THE shirts are the great
est possible comfort"
Others write:
There was great rejoicing over the
arrival of the flannel shirts, and they will
be a boon to many a poor man. They are
indeed useful. and we are very grateful
to the F. S. c."
II cannot tell you how very grateful 1
am for the beautiful flannel shirts sent
to my ward. 1t is UGH a comfort to be
able to give suitable garments to delicate
conValescents, and this is in my power
now that the F. s., c. has, supplied what
is literally a long-felt want"
"Allow me to thank the F. S. C. very
warmly for the beautiful flannel shirts
made for our poor patients; they are most
thankful for help which they heartily
appreciate"
Each present member of the Flannel
Shirt club is earnestly requested to per-
suade at least one friend to join it during
the current year.
Those who have neither time nor taste
for needlework can provide a good shirt
by sending four yards of flannel to the
honorable secretaries. with stamps or a
postal order for Is. Cd, to pay the cost of
making. The work is done by the neces-
sitous and respectable women.
Yours truly,
ETHEL F. LAMPORT,

Congress May He Called to Mako Laws

WASHINGTON, March lin spite Of
the fact that there is every prospect of a
compromise agreement on the army in.
crease hill and that differences between
both houses over appropriations are
likely to be arranged before Saturday at
noon, an extra session is by no means
unlikely. There is a serious question az
to the right of the president to maintain
military governments in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines after the
treaty ratifications shall have been ex.
changed. AS these exchanges, under
the terms of the Paris protocol, cannot
be delayed after the 10th of June, it is
argued that some arrangement for the
civil government of the province must
be perfected by that date. Unless the
lawmaking power is in session at the
moment peace is formally declared, it
would appear, therefore, that the ad.
ministration will be placed in very
embarrassing position.
Under the circumstances the presi.
dents advisers seem to regard call fol
the early assembling Of the Fifty-sixth
congress as inevitable.

AN ORLEANIST PLOT.

Paris Papers Say One Was Shown by Pa
pers Seized.
PARIS, March 1.-The Rappel and
other papers state that the papers of the
Royalists which were recently seized
show clearly the existence Of an Or
leanist plot, which had been aided by
subscriptions by certain foreign SOW
ereigns. The plot was to be carried out
by general, who, it was expected,
would soon become minister for war.
The Orleanists intended to act as soon
as the general took Office, but M. De-
roulede's action spoiled the plan.
The Figaro does not believe that the
existence of a plot can be proved, but
the authorities are convinced that they
have foiled dangerous conspiracy.

EDlSON'S LATEST SCHEME.

Perfecting Process For Sending
Pictures by Electricity.
In an interview with correspondent
Of the Chicago Record at Youngstown.
o., recently Thomas A. Edison said:
II am working at present on device
for sending photographs by wire. I am
perfecting the machine now, and it will
be Q success. By this invention an artist
can place his sketch in it, and by at
taching it to wire send in the picture
to his paper. This thing has been done
before. but the machines have been too
cumbrous. intend to have this one
made similar to kodak.
II believe in ten years horse will
be rare sight, " continued Mr.. Edison.
''The automobile carriage is here to
stay. It is now practicable and will
soon be cheap enough for general use.
Gasoline will be the motive power, for
it is more economical and larger sup
ply Of it can be carried. Electric stor-
age batteries are too heavy, and besides
they are not practicable. The horseless
carriage will also hasten the good roads
movement. .
''Do you think the end Of electrical
invention has nearly been reached3"
''There is no end to anything" " re-
piled Mr.. Edison. MAN is so finite
that he cannot possibly learn one-mil-
ionth part of what is to be known. He
might put in so years on the study Of
water alone. and beyond learning the
component parts Of it he would know
nothing Only the ignorant say we are
near the limit in invention. There is
no limit I believe the life of man can
be prolonged Man ought to live to be
100 years Of age. This can be done by
supplying lost tissue from the lower
animals by TRANSMISSION and migrating
We would live longer, but we abuse
ourselves by excesses and indulgence
