BY Signal Corps Without Aid
of Any Wires.
EXPERIMENTS HAVE SHOWN
That This Can be Easily D0ne--lm-
p0rtant Demonstrations Have
Already Been Made,

New York. April GA special to the
Herald from Washington says: 1t is the
confident evacuation of the officers OF
the signal corps of the army that within
a short time messages can be flashed to
and from the war department to Fort
Myer, five miles away, without the aid of
wires Important experiments already
made at Fort Myer by Col. James Allen,
now acting chief of the signal service,
and Lieut.. George O.. Squire have demon
strated that it is practicable to transmit
messages by means of electric waves pro-
duced in the manner employed by Mar
conf. These officers have found that at
a distance of 1000 yards they can tele-
graph any message and it is intended to
increase the distance gradually until he
war department and Fort Myer are on
nected. Lieut.. Squire said that ne wa
much eratified at the results OF the e&-
periments and he believes that when the
experimental stage has been passed the
system will be of much value for working
between the shore and lighthouses, COM
muniCating between vessels at sea and
for marine work generally.
Pei haps the most important demon
stration SO far made has been the i'm
possibility of exploding a magazine on
board a modern ship by means of an cleo
trio wave. Lieut.. Squire said that in the
first place It would be necessary TO have
an operator on the ship to be destroyed
and ever then It would be impossible to
transmit the wave through iron. Placing
the instruments in an IRON cage, Will pre-
vent the wave from reaching their dcs-
tinatiOn and a Zlnc screen also stops
them Or account of the length Of the
waves, their energies are absorbed Off
fertntly by different substances. Ihus
water and metal absorb all their enef-
sies; glass absorbs nearly all and parat-
fins and hard rubber absorb hardly any.
Thus. they move through hard rubber
and parafline as light moves through air.
glass or WateI-that is to say, with hard
~ any resistance-while glass let's very
little Of them through and metal and wa
ter are impervious to them.
Lieut.. Squire estimates that the ave
travel at the rate of 1S6, 000 miles a sec
ond. At this rate they could reach the
sun in eight minutes. In time Of war,
Lieut.. Squire said, it is. possible to fire
a gun 500 yards away by means OF Il
spark thrown at that distance. The
perimepts IN transmitting messages have
thus far been very limited as the instru-
ments were received only a few days ago
The Instruments USED are the finest that
could be obtained. The messages so fan
sent have been received without difficulty
The appliances include an ordinary bat
terry and Morse electromagnetic. When
the key is pressed the current flashes be
tween two brass globes, causing a spark
and sets the, electric waves in motion
Whenever the sender desires to get in
communication with the receiver press
ing the key causes a bell to ring, calling
attention TO the instrument.

COMMON PLUG.

Chicago Chronicle: He is Il fierce little
man. He is eager to resent any fancled
or Intentional ~deroeaticn of his powers,
roves or social standing. He handles
the stuff hot from the Wire" in one OF
the bic Chicago dailies and, of course, Is
unknown of his riends IL the daytime
For then. like the elusive opossum, he
sleeps. He has a hot tongue of his oWn
and is by 10 means averse to using it FOR
the discontinue and ridicule of his kind.
But he loves not a jest wherein he is the
butt.
Not long ago he was seated at his desk
in the early evening, trying to make two
columns of foreign fit in a half column
hole. He was busy and very much abb
sorbed. He Bonded over his labors in sad
disarray, for ii was a warm evening and
he had removed mis- coat and vest, the
better to handle the stuff. To him came
a friend. sad of face, mournful OF de-
meanor, solemn as a monk. He had a
duty to perform which irked him, for he
feared blOodslted might result. Yet as a
true friend, having the welfare of the tele-
graph ma at heart, he could not remain
silent.
George said his friend, in a voice
trembling with emotion, Il heard a fell
low down in the saloon say you are a
lychnObite."
whats tha.?" asked George, as he
dropped his stuff and sat up in a hurry.
"A man down stairs-you know him,
when you see him says you are a COM
mon, plug l~ychnobite."

Better look in the dictionary"
Dictionary be darned. No such word
there. | tell you, he wants trouble, and
here's where he gets it,
But another of the crowd procured the
dictionary and finding the obnoxious
word, brought it to the telegraph desk
and, pointing it out to the belligerent
George, retired without a word. George
continued his preparations while bend
ing over to read the definition. This is
what it read:
"Lychrobite-Ore who labors at night
and sleeps in the day"
Slowly George rolled his sleeves back,
glanced about the room and in a short
time was busy with ~foreignnews once
more. The others laughed a merry laugh
the while.

is sold. The value of the standard brick
would be about $3.50 if composed of pure
gold. The cost to the purchaser when
the article is prepared for the market
varies from $40 to $75 a brick. according
to the value of the material used. The
purchaser from the factory makes ms
terms with his victims.
"You want to know of the very best
brick we turn out?" said a maker well,
the brick most likely to deceive Is made
from a copper and zinc mixture. 1t is not
the most expensive, but it will stand
knocking around for five years without
losing tint or tone, and l tell you it's
pretty near the real thing. Half a dol
lars worth of gold is more than enough
to do the job. Our science is known as
water gliding, because the last touch we
give to the brick is to chill it in iced
water. We buy our gold in leaves from
the beater. These leaves we place in a
crucible with mercury, seven parts of
mercury to one of gold. The mercury is
first heated. and, under the action of a
furnace, the mixture is made red-hot.
Then it is allowed to cool down. We
| squeeze the amalgam through chamois
leather for the purpose of ejecting the
superf1uous mercury, and the gold, with
twice it's weight of mercury, remains be-
hind. 1t is then a yellowish mass of the
consistency of butter, and with the metal
is coated with a brush. This is the first
step in turning the brick into gold.
After receiving the first coat the brick
is subjected to a strong heat, for the pur-
pose of evaporating the remaining mer-
curry. 1t is then in fine form, but far
from perfect. There will be little irreg-
ularities, and these are removed with a
delicate brass brush. After the brushing
Il lack of true golden tone is apparent,
but we have an easy remedy for this.
We coat the brick over with gliding wax,
which is a preparation of red ocher, YER
diGris. alum and boraX. Then the brick
is again exposed to the action of fire till
the wax is entirely burnt away It's real
gold then, but we arc bound to make it
a few caratS finer, so our customers can
have no possible ground for questioning
the quality Of their treasure. We do this
by covering it with a saline composition
and again exposing it to a high tempera-
ture, 1t is finally chilled in cold water,
and is beautiful to look on-a perfect gold
brick. 1t is proof against time, moisture
and weather of all kinds, and will stand
constant handling for years without los
ms, tone or luster. Goods made as |
have described are guaranteed for five
years.

was a capitalist from Sacramento induced
him to accompany him to a saloon at 1O2

thought, he offered to shake Reynolds

Failing to influence Larouette to take a
hand in the game. Belmont asked him
to hold the stakes, which amounted to sew
eral dollars. Their innocent victim read
ily consented. and taking out his purse
containing 5000 placed the money that had
been bet by the scheming pair in 1t. Just
then Belmont grabbed the purse ana
passed it TO Reynolds. The latter quickly
disappeared. but, determined to get even,
Iarouette seized Belmont by the neck and
held him until Policeman Collins arrived
He was then placed under arrest ano
taken to the City Prison.
Shortly after he was booked Reynolds
who had changed his clothing, appeared
at the prison gate and inquired for Bel

nized him and informed Policeman Collins
and Detective Dillon, who were in the

outside and placed Reynolds under arrest
much to his chagrin. After he was recog-
nized by the victim he was also booked on
a charge of grand larceny.
