The man 1facturers of Royal
Baking Powder have always declined

The Royal is made from the

Royal Baking Powder costs only

There is nothing especially new in
the resort to telephony. The Ameri-
can Signal Service has long bad ample
equipments Of this kind for field work,
particularly in tho dissemination of
orders from headquarters and tho re-
ccipt OF reports from subordinates
during an action. 1t is not at all
likely that the English are ahead of
the United States in this respect.
However, some interesting features
arc Presented by one of tho instances
of telephony in South Africa Just de-
scribed in the dispatches.
After arriving on the fold cf battle
at Esndsleagts, General French saw
the necessity Of prompt reinforce
ments. In Lis army wore several
telegraphers, who were provided with
portable telephones, batteries and in

end of another wire. The latter ex-
tended downward to q box containing
O telegraph key and sounder, two or
three cells Of battery, and O convent
ent combination OF telephone tran g.
mitter and receiver. To make the. .ap-
paratus work, 1t was further neceS-
sary to run the lower end OF the hang
ing wire into the ground. Thus
regular Circuit" was formed, the
earth affording a return route for the
current. Either q telegraph key or
telephone could be used, according to
the convenience Of the operator.
A convenient substitute for Mar
coni's apparatus has been found at
Kimberley in the powerful electric
searchlight there. 1t is a mistake to
suppose that such q device IS service
able only at sen. Although the uses
which it has in the navy are somewhat
different from those thus far found for
it on land, it certainly has its value
on terra frms. At Kimberley it has
performed double Office. It has as
sisted in the watch for an enemy, and
it has furnished an excellent means OF
telegraphing. By switching the cur
rent on and off the light can be broken
up into dots and dnshes, to form tele-
graphic letters. The enemy might
see these signals, but as q secret code
would doubtless be employed, the sig
nifcance of the flashes would not be
understood except by the initiated.
SearchliGhts have been made whose
rays could be discerned at distance
of fifty or seventy-fve miles. At
Kimberley it was known that Lord
Methuen's army had come within
twenty or thirty miles nearly fort
night ago. No difficulty should have
been experienced in sending messages
concerning tho situation in tho be-
leaguered city, therefore, although o

Modern War Mechanism.
Searchlights, Steam Ploughs and
HeliOgraPhs in South Africa.

AS might be expected, the English
are using in the South African war the
most modern military appliances that
can be had. They are thoroughly up
to date in the matter of guns and am
munition, and even the surgeons are
using new means of developing Y
rays. The War Office has negotiated
with Marconi's business representa-
tIves for wireless telegraphic outfits,
and by this time the apparatus ought
to be in service. Moreover, a num-
Der of other appliances that are not
necessarily instruments Of war have
been put to use in the contest with
the Beers.
One Of the most striking instances
of this kind is the employment of
steam plough for digging trenches.
The ploughshare and pruning hook
are particularly typical of the arts and
spirit OF peace, bat now, for the first

SPANISH GUNS DONATED.
The Navy Department Presents
Relics For Lieutenant Brum-
by rlemOriaI.

The six-inch bronze cannon that de-
Tended Fort San Felipe, at Manila,
against the American feet under Ad-
miral Dewey, and which were dis
mounted by shells from the Olympia,
nave been presented tO the city of At
lanta by the navy department to be
placed ut the base of the monument
to be erected in honor of Lieutenant
Thomas Brumby.
Announcement of the gift was made
public Wednesday morning in letter
received by Colonel ". l. Hayward
from Admiral George Dewey, in which
the admiral incloses letter from Sec.
eetary Long stating that the cannon
are now at Mare island, California, and
can be secured by the city rs soon as
desired.
The news was received with enthu-
slasm by those Interested in the erec-
ton of monument to the memory
Of Lieutenant Brumby.
The announcement that the two cap
tureI cannon had been presented to
the city was in the nature of a sur
prise to those who had pushed the
matter since Admiral Dewey had been
asked to use his influence to obtain
only ono of the famous guns.
The presence Of the two Spanish
guns at the base of the proposed mon
ument will give q thrilling interest to
that memorial, and they will serve as
reminder of the dangers the lament
ed Lieutenant faced when he stood by
the side of Admiral Dewey on the
Olympia at the capture of Manila.

EYELID QUIVERED.
St. Louis Woman In Trance Mar
rowIy Escapes Being
Buried Alive.

At East st. Louis, Mo-, Sunday
morning, Mrs. Hirth emerged from q
trance to find herself under process Of
being embalmed and prepared for the
grave. The discovery was the result
of the merest accident and astound-
cd the undertaken. A movement of On
eyelid saved the woman from death at
the hands of the undertaken or from
burial alive.
Sunday morning, while her husband
watched at her bedside at the hospi-
tai, she gave a deep sigh and then
seemed to breath nc more. When
the county physician arrived, he pro-
nOunced her dead. The county un-
dertaker was called and shortly after
wards proceeded to embalm the body.
Mrs. Hirth was placed on the cool
idg board and the work of preparing
her for burial began.
On each eve a weight was placed to
hold the lids. Over tae face a white
cloth saturated with bleaching fluid was
spread. When ready to remove the
bleaching cloth he noticed that one Of
the weights had fallen off. In replac-
ing it he thought he detected slight
movement of the eyelash. There was
no beat or p1lse of sign of breath,
however, so he set about preparing his
instruments for the injection of the
poisonous fluids used in embalming.
While thus engaged he noticed faint
quiver of the eyelid. He summoned
assistance and the body was removed
to bed in the hospital. The doctor
was called and restOratives applied.
Gradually the woman came out Of
her coma and was able to move her
body. She was unable to discuss her
experiences, but made signs to indi-
cate that she was conscious of all that
had taken place. 1t is expected that
she will regain some of her strength
and live for O while OF least.

round which they twist it in sush a
wsy that it is absolutely impossible to

When the usual plan is adopted, the
British troops merely search for the
missing sections and replace them.
A valuable method of communicat-
ing, which the British are using in
South Africa, is the heliograph, such
as our army has long employed on the
Western plains.
General Butler, while at Frere sta
ton, communicated daily with Cen
eral White, at Ladysmith, about twen-
ty miles away. with the heliograph.
Sun rays flashed back and forth told
the besieged army to be OF good cheer
and assured the relief column that the
garrison, though hard pressed, was
cheerful.

ATLANTA PIONEER DEAD.

Col. j. ". Rucker Victim of Pneumonia
at Palm Bench, Fla.
Col. j. ". Rucker, of Atlanta,
Ga, president of the Maddox-Rucker
Banking Company, of that city, died
at Palm Beach, Fla, Friday night at 9
o'clock.
The death Of Colonel RucEer was
due to IN attack of pneumonia con-
tracted some weeks ago.
Since the close of the war between
the states, in which Colonel Rucker
took active part as q soldier, he was en-
gagged in business in Atlanta, being one
OF the first merchants of the town. In
1880 he formed with the late Colonel
IL. f. Maddox the banking firm of
MaddO1-Rucker company, in which
both remained until their death.
Colonel Maddox died only a few
months ago and it is a striking coinci-
dence, that the death of these two
