OVERCOME SPACE
WITHOUT WIRES
Practice and Theory of
Wireless Telegraphy
Fully Explained.
MARCONI SYSTEM IS
ONLY PRACTICAL METHOD
Can Be Used for Transmitting Business
MeSsages--Other Inventors Have
Tried But Failed for Long
Distances.

The Cambridge Encyclopedia, q
monthly magazine devoted to science,
art, history and religion" publishes in
a recent issue the following review
of the history of wireless telegraphy
and the methods of its working: .
The general principle underlying all
systems Of wireless telegraphy now in
use, is the production of disturbance
in the ether Of space by means Of IN
instrument called a transmitter, and
the propagation Of this disturbance
through the ether to another instru-
ment capable of detecting the disturb
ance, this latter instrument being cal.
ed a receiver. or the various known
methods Of setting mp these disturb
ances in the ether, only three have, as
yet, been employed commercially for
signalling across space without wires.
These three methods depend, respec-
lively, on the transmission OF light.
magnetism and Hertzian waves. These
methods will be considered In the order
given. Signalling by the means of light
is the Oldest of all systems Of signal
ling. The mos tsavage nations have
employed this method from time i'm
memorial. The smoek signals OF the
North American Indians, and the bea-
con lights OF days gone by. are only
two out OF many methods OF signalling
which depend on the transmission Of
light. In all these systems, the eye is
the receiver" which responds to The
disturbances in the ether, the signal
ling being effected by interruptlng the
light according to a prearranged code
The most modern Of these optical telc.
graphs is the famous heliograph, which
is playing so important a part In tho
present South African campaign. This
instrument merely consists OF combi-
nation of mirrors and elockwork, so ar
ranged as to project beam Of light
from the sun to a particular place
whatever the position of the sun may
be. BY interrupting the beam OF lignt
into long and short flashes accordin,,
to the Morse Code. an observer in the
line Of the beam Of light is enabled to
read of messages though he may be
fifty or sixty miles away. The draw
backs Of this system are so great as to
limit its application to very special
cases. Firstly, the sun must be shin
ing on the heliograph. secondly, ;he
atmosphere must be clear. and third
ly. the person who Is receiving the mes
sage must be in sight oil ne transmit
ter. Owing to the rotundity OF The
earth this third condition prevents sig.
mailing over great distances unless The
heliograph and the receiver be situat
ed on lofty eminences. This is the
principal defect Of all optical methods
OF signalling. It Is rather curious
that the heliograph was accidentally
reinvented by Sir Henry Nance, in Be
luchistan, where Alexander the Grei
had successfully employed It twent!
| centuries before.

only been experimentally tried by
Prof. o. Lodge over a mile OF two Of

WHAT EMPLOYEES WANT.
Representative of Brotherhoods In
forms the Industrial Commission

Representative of Brotherhoods In
forms the Industrial Commission
H. R. Fuller, representing the five
railroad brotherhoods. consisting Of con-
ductors, fremen, trainmen, engineers
and telegraphers. has submitted to the
Industrial commission at Washington a
vOlumin0us statement in regard TO labor
conditions, together with recommends
tions as to methods to be employed IN
remedying existing evils
These recommendations are: Legisla-
ton compelling railroad companies to
publicly post their rules and rates of
wages, 10 allow employees accused of any
offense to know all evidence against
them, and if discharged to give them in
writing specific reasons therefor; to do
away with "blacklisting" by making it
unlawful for a railway company to fur
nish the record of an employe to an
other company; to secure legislation for
an eight-hOur day; to forbid the run
ming of Sunday trains on all interstate
roads except in the case of relief and
wreck trains, and to allow trainmen to
complete their trips so as to arrive at
home on Sunday; to give employees OF
railroads the same right to recover dam
ages for injury as is enjoyed by those
who are not connected with such roads;
to Iegislate out OF existence railroad re-
lief associations

TRIP OF A NOVEL TRAIN.
Engine and Cars Designed to Reduce
Resistance From Air Pressure.

The first of the trial trips Of the train
which its inventor, Frederick Z Adams,
believes will revOlutionize railroading was
made last week over the tracks of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The train is
designed to secure the greatest speed by
minimizing the resistance from air pres
sure. The train is yestibuled from end to
end. and the sides extend to within few
inches of the track The rear Of the train
is pointed, and the locomotive tender is
made flush with the top and sides of the
car Ventilation is secured by air ducts
running between the covering and the
upper and lower decks, the air being
taken into the car through the deck ven
tiatOrs.
For six months the train has been IN
der construction at the Mt Clare shops
of the company. On its return from the
trip the following statement of what was
accomplished was made by Mr. Adams:
The train was in charge OF Engineer
Kirby and engine so, a small ffty-ton
locomotive and was sent out to pull the
six cars. The best runs were three and
one-half miles in 2l5 minutes; ten miles
in S minutes and eighteen miles in 10 min
utes. from Frederick junction up to the
hill to Mount Airy the speed OF thirty
five miles was sustained. On all down
grades it was necessary to apply the air
brakes It was demonstrated that the
train, with this small engine, can easily
make sixty miles an hour on levels.

Santa Fe Has Now Continuous
Route of 1861 Miles.
Opening of Frisco Line Adds 372
Miles to Operated Mileage.
A POWERFUL SYSTEM.
Santa Fe Tracks Now Aggregate

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe can
now run its trains through from Chi
cago to San Francisco bay, a great
journey of 1851 miles, says the Railway
Age. This has long been the ambition
Of the management. and a dozen or
more years ago President Strong forced
from the Southern Pacific a contract
which gave the Santa Fe running
powers over the track OF that company
from 8Iojave to Oakland An independ-
ent line, however, was the ideal aimed
at, and this has been accomplished by
the purchase and completion Of the
San Francisco & San Joaquin Valley
road from Bakersfield north to Port
Richmond. opposite san Francisco, 205
miles, supplemented by a contract with
the Southern Pacific for the joint use
of its track between Mojaye and Ba.-
kersdeld. 81 miles. The San Joaquin
Valley road. also, has a branch from
Fresno to Eisai, A miles; so that the
Santa F'e has added 349 miles to its
mileage owned. and, including the track
leased from the Southern Pacifs, 81
miles to the length of lines operated
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe sys-
TEN now embraces $50 miles of Hnss,
extending from Lake Michigan to the
gulf at Galveston. TO the Mexican Dor
der at FL PaSo and to the Pacific at
San Diego, Rendondo and san Franciso,
with a vast mileage of interlacing
tracks between.

THE @REDs1 VICTORIOUS.
Santa Fe Shop Team Defeats High
School Boys.

The Santa Fe Reds" were victorious
in the game played Saturday with the
Topeka high school team Following is
the score by innings:
Reds ...........-..-1 3 5 0-1o
T. H S............-2 0 0 0 Q 0 0 o.
The Reds" played an exceptionally
good game considering the fact that
they had practically no team practice
previous to this game. The only time
they had played together this season
was a week before when they met a
team from the round house
During the first inning they played
rather loose or the high school would
have been shut out altogether. After
the first inning they got together and
played fast ball In the first inning the
high school got six men up to the bat,
and run in two scores. In the second
and third innings only three men were
permitted TO face the pitcher In the
fourth, five men got up but failed to
reach home plate. In each of the re
naming five innings only three men
handled the stick.
On the Red " side only five men went
to bat in the first inning with a result
Of one score. In the second, eight men
took a whack at the ball Six men went
up in the third inning. -Four in the
fourth, six in the fifth, six in the sixth,
three in the seventh, five in the eighth
and three in the ninth. There were no
very brilliant plays made during the
progresS of the game.

RUMOR OF AN UPRISING.
Manila Authorities Take Steps t
Crush Out Insurrection.

Manila, May 1.-THE latest rumor Of
an outbreak in Manila among the na-
tives, which was in circulation last
week, was seriously discussed by some
OF the local papers. and attracted more
general attention than has usually been
the case with this sort Of thing. As
matter Of fact. many Filipinos did leave
their American employers with the ap-
parent intention Of joining some such
movement This action taken in con-
nection with the arrest of several natives
for carrying concealed weapons and the
dispersion OF several suspicious gather
ingS, gave color to the reports
The officials have been active in the
matter, but not inclined to think an up
rising viii be attempted. They believe
the Filipinos lack the necessary cour-
age, especially in view Of the fact that
the natives feared to attempt the dem
onstration at the time Of General Law
tons funeral, although they had made
careful preparations and many insur-
gents had come to Manila for this ex-
press purpose.
/ A paper found among the captured ef-
4 feets Of General Pantaleon Garcia as
/ sertS that the United States congress
has done nothing for the F'ilipinOs, and
| that. therefore, all Filipinos who are
| working for Americans must leave their
| employers Immediately or suffer the
| penalty Of treason.
One report is that the Filipino junta
is endeavoring TO incite an outbreak in

It Is Asserted That He Might Easily
Have Prevented Havana Scandal
New York, May IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Prominent officers of the army declare
that the Havana postal frauds are di-
reetly due to the failure OF Secretary
Root to permit the inspector generals
department to make inspections of civil
amounts in Cuba. as repeatedly urged
by Brigadier General J. c. Breckenridge,
inspector general. An officer familiar
with the facts asserted that the scandal
would probably never have come to
light had it not been for the investiga-
ton made by Col G. H. Burton, but
might have been nipped in the bud
Gen Breckenridge formally called the
March II. 1899, to the ACCESSIBILITY Of
having all Cuban accounts inspected BY
an officer of his department. He again
brought the matter to the attention of
the department several months later
His first suggestion was unnoticed, his
second was vetoed Information which
has reached the war department indI-
Gates that Lieut.. Col E A Darlington,
inspector general at Manila upon his ar
rival found abuses existing which have
been corrected Just the extent of the
abuses and their character the officials
assert they do not know, and they. pro-
fess the greatest ignorance of any scan
dalS having been found in the Philip
pines Nevertheless it is authoritatively
stated that Col Darlington did find con-
ditiOns which when called to the atten-
ton of Gen. Otis were Immediately i'm

FALL OF KROONSTAD.

Fight at That Point.

London. May 14.-Not since Lady
smith and Kimberley were relieved
has London been in such state OF ex-
element as it was Saturday night
''Kroonstad taken. and without OPP
position."
The news came almost like thunder
clap Some Of the military experts had
been saying that Kroonstad would be
taken without stiff fighting. but the pub
lie were very skeptical- Not only from
a study of the map, but also from other
sources it was known that numerous
kopjes in the neighborhood of Kroon-
stad afforded the Beers the best oppor-
tunity for offering strong opposition
On the other hand. these military
critics pointed out that country behind
KrOOnStad was so open that a protract-
ed resistance involved serious risk of
the Boer retreat being cut OF by British
cavalry, which could be sent around in
large force
Although few details have reached
London, beyond the fact that KroonStad
was occupied soon after noon, and that
the British flag was hoisted. 1t is evil
dent that the Beers We're alive to the
danger to their supposed stronghold
several days ago, when the Free State
capital was removed by proclamation to
Hebron. Nevertheless, the British pub
lie never imagined that the taking OF
Kroonstad would prove such a simple
matter.
