SENATOR CLARK WILL RESIGN.
By Scripps- McRae Press Association.
Washington, May 15.-At the
close of routine business in the
senate, Clark of Montana arose
to a question of personal priv
lege to himself. Clark was ac-
companied by his chief counsel,

was recognized he commenced
reading a long typewriter
speech and went into the case
thoroughly. He said in the
course of his remarks that he
had concluded to tender his re-
signation on his own responsible
lity.

The Free StaterS have Severed
Alliance with TransvaaI.

LOuQOA, MoJ L Z NA'' ''1'NNAA
received from Pietermarltzburg
Natal, brings the first intimatlon
of a success attained by Butler
in northern Natal. The sender
evidently assumes that the news
of the affair has been received
direct from the scene of hostili-
ties, for he merely says:
General Buffers official tele-
gram notifying his success at
the Bigarsberg, received here an
hour ago, has given keen salts
faction. It is confidently antici-
pated that Dundee will be occu-
pied by the British today. The
residents of the North Country
are delighted, as forcing the
Biggarsberg means that they
will speedily be enabled to return
to their homes.
Another dispatch dated Stone
Hill Farm says;
CATER four days march east
wards at the foot of the Biggars-
berg ridges, in the direction of
Helpmaakar, which was occupied
by the Federals, the second bri-
gade, Sunday, led the attack.
Dundonald' cavalry broke the
Beers center and Methuen S
horse advanced on their extreme
right. In the direction of Pom
eroy, small party of burghers
occupied a ridge overlooking
Helpmaakar, but they did moi
wait for the assault.
Recent British scouting in the
direction of Dundee has shOwr
that the Federals were in great
force on the Biggarsberg. So
apparently, General Butler con
claded that is was necessary Il
clear them from his rear before
commencing a movement in thu
direction of Drankensburgrange
If this is his plan, he has posi-
bly, divided his forces, sending
one column eastward to threatel

Laings Mex in the rear, while

form a junction with the force
of Lord Roberts via the Harrt

At any time of the day or night,
Sundays and holidays, no matter what
the rest OF the world may be doing,
says the Chicago Chronicle, the man
who takes down telephone receiver
and places 1t to his ear will instantly
hear a CHEEKY voice saying: Number,
please?'
The telephone operator, as an insti-
tuition, might well be classed with the
famous detective agency whose proud
boast is I'VE never sleep" OF course,
the operator does occasionally give a
little sigh of relief unbind the receiver
which has been fastened to her ear for
several hours and go home to receive
AIgeron or to sleep. But her place at
e switchboard is instantly taken by
another operator, and the subscriber
who calls the main Office at the instant
the girls are changing places is an
swered as readily as though one operat-
or we're at work all the time. There
are about $50 girls in the employ of
the telephone company as operators,
and half Of them are in the main Office
downtown. The others are divided
among the various exchanges" scat
tered all over the city. The main Of
fice, however, is looked upon as the
most desirable post by the girls, for II

is there usually that promotion comes
to them. At the exchanges they are not
under the eyes of the managers and Of
ticials OF the company, and their ia eats
are likely to be wasted on an unappre-
ciative chief operator.
The operators are divided into five
sections, or shifts" the first OF which
goes on duty at 7 o'clock in the morn
ing and answers Hello calls until 4
o'clock In the afternoon. The last of
the day shifts goes on at o in the morn
ing and works until 6 O'Clock, all the
sections being worked under the eight
hour plan. But they do not work stead
lily during their hours OF duty. The
strain Of working at the switchboard
internationally so many hours would
prove too great for the operators, and
each one has recess of fifteen minutes
forenoon and afternoon, besides half
an hour for lunch, making an hour a
day that they are of duty and recuper-
ating.
The evening operators are divided
into four shifts, each of which works
from four and half to FIVE hours be-
tween o'clock In the afternoon and 10
o'clock at night. AT that hour the reg
ular operators come on duty and work
until in the morning, with two hours
of during the night.

Ether Is Navigahle.
Between the planets we fnd only
ether, about the nature of which there
is much difference OF opinion. Some
experiments which l have made in
vacuums prove to me that. contrary to
the accepted doctrine. ether is not en-
tirely frictionless. 1t is composed Of
particles many billions OF times small
er than atoms. These are of such a
nature that no ordinary body meets
with any resistance in passing through
them.
These experiments prove that ma
chine can be made to propel Itself
where there is no air. Such devices,
therefore, could traverse the open space
between the planets. How? Through
the ether space between the planets
there are streams of electric and light
waves. Against either of these two
systems of waves other sets of waves,
artificially made by a machine, can be
forced in such way as to cause resist
anee and propel the machine along. |
