Automatic Salt Works.

About a hundred miles north of
Lima, near the town of Huacho, is one
of the great curiositles of nature-a
salt factory on an automatic plan.
When the tide comes in it fills a lot
of shallow basins, and the water is
prevented from flowing back into the
sea by closing the gates. The atmo-
sphere is so dry that the water evap.
crates rapidly and leaves sediment
of salt in an almost pure state, which
is scraped up, put into sacks and
shipped to market. Within the coast
little further the percolation of sea
water through the porous rocks into
pits and hollows has caused immense
deposits of salt to accumulate. The
salt is taken out in blocks six or eight
inches square and sold in that form.
AS soon as the salt is excavated the
water comes in again and in year or
two has solidified and is ready for the
market. Wells driven into the sand
disclose strongly impregnated water
at a depth of twenty-five feet, which
seems to be a great deal heavier than
the sea water, and is drawn off into
watts for evaporation.-Chicago Rec.

Wireless TeIegraphy.

Wireless telegraphy is to be used in
novel and practical manner at Hall
fax. The harbor there is often diff
cut of access, especially during
storms, and as result many vessels
have been wrecked while approaching
1t. Mr.. A. +. Hamilton has now in
vented an apparatus with the object of
facilitating the approach to the harbor
and thus minimizing the danger of
shipwrecks.
The apparatus consists of what may
be called an electric buoy on which
is a bell connected with the land by
means of submarine cable. In ad-
dition to the bell the buoy is intended
to hold Marconi transmitter from
which signals may be sent from land
to a distance of four or five miles.
Now the inventor asserts that in this
manner all vessels provided with re-
ceivers suitable for wireless teleg-
raphy can not only be readily warned
of danger as they approach the coast,
but can also ascertain their exact stu
ton If they will only pay heed to the
signals transmitted.
The inventors intention apparently
Is to have buoy placed in each SPOT
where there is the most likelihood of
peril and to have signals sent by the
Marconi system of wireless teleg-
raphy whenever there is any danger
OF storm. The successful manner in
which the Marconi system worked
during the international yacht races
has satisfied Mr.. Hamilton that 1t may
be relied upon to do good service in
connection with his buoys.-N. Y.

submitted to an operation at the hos.

that he had two stomachs. but was
approaching starvation through inabil.
lty TO ass1milate food. The object of
the surgeons was to remove the Sec

away with the contraction of the ESQ.
phagus that prevented his getting food
into either stomach. This was finally
accomplished. STATIONS trouble had
increased to such an extent that food

grew thin, weak and pale, and the
operation was all that saved his life
after his case had been pronounced
incurable.
Recently Stratton had an X-ray
photograph taken of his abdominal
region and it showed formation on
the esophagus, just above the dia.
phragm. 1t was found that since boy.
hood he had been the victim of the
contraction of the esophagus, which
grew worse and worse, until nothing
could pass through it. The retention

USE OF DOGS IN WAR.
Result Of the Experiments Made BY
the German Army.


The use of dogs in war dates back
to the Greeks and Romans, but the
modern idea of training them for spe.
cial military service was born in 1886
In Germany, and for the past 10 or ~
years each battalion of German Jag
ers has had eight or ten dogs assigned
to it for this training. The two or
three dogs thus falling to each com.
pany are placed under the care of
uoncommissioned officer and two
men, and each regiment has an officer
detailed to superintend their instruc.
ton.
The dog is to be used for various
special duties, such as the service of
information and security or scouting.
on marches and "Reminiscences and
In patrol, sentinel duty with the out.
posts as messengers on both these
duties, as carriers Of supplies and am.
munltion on the battlefield, and to
hunt up the wounded after battle.
To test the results thus far obtained
a number of dogs belonging to various
regiments were assembled at Gels. in
Prussian Silesia, in last July for trial.
There were sixteen dogs in all. six of
tried on the following points: Conduct
as watch dog, return from patrol to
master, going from master to patrol,
following master by scent alone, and
lying down. The first point was test
ed by placing the dog with his master
ut an outpost giving only limited
view and then causing two jagers Tin
enemy's uniforul to approach under
cover from poir., about 400 yards
distant. The second and third points
were tested by sending four dogs at
one time from an outpost Cor patroD
to four different sentinels, then back
again to the outpost Cor patrol), back
again to the sentinel, and once more
to the outpost Tor patroD, the latter
having meanwhile changed its posi-.
ton.
The various points were given
values, and one Of the dogs received
SO out Of possible 100. The dogs
were Of different breeds and crosses,
but the best were collies and shep.
herd dogs. The average rate Of ira.
vel of the dogs as messengers was
about 81 miles an hour-N. Y. Sun.

RoME's CONCESSION.
Catholic Sisters Permitted to Attend
Outside Lectures in Secular Garb.

Advocates of the higher education
of women are surprised by an unex-
pected and extraordinary concession
from that most conservative of au-
thorities, the Pope. The head of the
French teaching Sisters of the Sacred
Heart, a very progressive woman,
went before the Vatican authorities
not long ago with an educational plan
by which the nevices of the order
were to be allowed to take a normal
school course outside their convent
restrictions and taught by outside up
to-date professors.
Some eminent French ecclesiastics
favored the idea, but in Rome it was
frowned upon, and a formal refusal
was given to permit its application.
A much more important and wide
reaching concession has now been
made by the Pope in favor of the Mar
celline Sisters, the most educational
of all the religious communities in
Italy. They are not only allowed to at
tend the lectures in the public uni
versities of Rome, mingling there
with laymen and listening to lectures
by professors of every mental order,
but they doff their religious dress to
do so. When they return to the con.
vent in the evening they put on their
religious habit again.
The congregation of Sisters is COM
paratively new. They applied to the
Pope for appreciation in December,
1896. He has just given them defln-
lite sanction as a community with SIM
pie vows, the decree being published
by the Cardinal Project of Bishops
and Regulars the last week in Octo-
Der.
Here In New York there has been
trouble with the State authorities
where Sisters taught in some of the
public schools in the interior cities
wearing their religious garb. A solu.
ton of the difficulty may be found in
this new precedent established in
Rome.-N. Y. Herald.
