zed the Importance Of signal dres in

Colonel Colby Of the British Royal en-.
y,neers devised a more adequate system
for transmitting messages by sun
flashes. His method of doing this wa
by mailing a certain number Of pieces
Of bright tin on poles and exposing
them to the suns rays. Some time
later this was improved on by the adop-
lion of a plain mirror. In 1888 an En-
clish officer at, Gibraltar used an ordi-
nary looking glass to reflect flashes
across the strait TO Tangier, thereby
carrying on q long distance conversa
ton with other English officers in AZ
rica.
This mirror system was experiment
ed with and improved upon until the
wear 1878, when the United States gov
ernment purchased the latest models
and beran the instruction Of a special
signal corps in heliography. The mill

agine the surprise Of the Indians when
they found that they could not move
without the fact being known to the
Americans and the movement mystic
riously anticipated. Signal parties. in
fact, were flashing hourly information
from mountain peak to mountain peak,
and the Indien warriors headquarters
were always known at Miles camp.
Through the use of the heliograph
Geronimo was kept away from water
by rapidly stationed and mobile bands
Of troops and was finally parched into
submission.
The English army had already been
making use Of the heliograph in Az
ghanistan. and during the Boer war Of
twenty years made effective use of the
Nance photographic apparatus. The
great service this means Of communica-
ton has been to the different British
commanders besieged By the Beers in

Never do a mans possessions seem
so dear to him as when he is on the
point Of losing them. The Indiana
farmer who saw his wife plunged in Il
raging stream, in imminent danger of
being drowned. had all of a sudden
higher opinion of her value than ever
before. When he saw that blessing
about to take flight down stream he Of
fered to give a thousand dollars TO the
man who succeeded in rescuinG her.
OF those who heard the offer one was
bold enough to dare the flood and bring
the wife ashore. But after she had
been saved the husbands opinion OF
her value fell He no longer thought
her worth thousand dollars. while
that sum seemed far larger than ii had
n short time before. when he had been
willing TO part with il 10 get back his
wife. So he refused to pay so large II
reward. His wife may have felt of
Tended by the lower estimate he was
putting on her value 10 him. but more
probably. AYERS the Chicago Tribune
she was thrifty woman who felt that
il she outlived her husband the thou
sand dollars might be hers and help
console her for his loss. The rescuer
brought suit for the full reward and
won his case. The jurors held the
farmer to his rash oath, and his wife
has cost him a thousand dollars. Prob
ably he will remind her of that fact
whenever she asks him for . little
spending money. If she falls Into a
creek again before his eyes and there
seems to be danger of her drowning
how much will he offer for her rescue?
1t is safe to say he will not offer q thou
sand dollars.

Experiments are being made in san
Francisco as TO the utility Of sal. WA
ter in sprinkling the streets. Decided
benefits are claimed as the result of
the trials. 1t is said that on streets
paved with stone the salt water coun-
teracts decomposition OF organic mat
ter In the dirt and refuse, so that when
dry very little dust is raised by the
wind. Again. salt water does not dry
so rapidly as fresh water. A distinct
advantage is based in the absorbent
power Of salt. During the night the
salt which has been dried by the sun
the previous day absorbs sufiicient
moisture from the atmosphere to
dampen the street. so that in the early
morning II has every appearance OF
having been recently sprinkled. and

auires several hours to evaporate'

HIS IDEAL WOMAN,

Man has a number of fixed. old

Carrie +. Garrett In the Woman's
Home Companion.
The sober truth IL that while men
may seek diversion with the more
snowy, fiippant type Of girl. and are
an ideal far. far above this cheap type
which is imperisha BILE. A man does not
picture completely limp and charac-
terless creature as his souls ideal. how

superior to his mate-to be looked up
to'-and as the true woman desires TO
look up 1t is clear. that Natures ar
rangements in these matters are not
without design. The most charming
woman Of all Is she who has the con-
summate wit to seem to look up when
really she stands on a level with the
man who loves her or perchance q lit
tie above him.
"One thing imperatively demanded in
the makeup Of the ideal woman is
sympathy-that all-divining. all-forgiv-
ing quality which makes the whole
world akin. sympathy is one Of the
prime factors Of charm. So Is humOr.
A man is fearfully lonesome when his
wife cannot see his jokes. She could

It was the departments contention
that, even though degree of i'm,

should be given careful consideration

HAY WILL NOT YIELD.
Refuses to Stop Preparations for an Early
Advance on Pekin.

Advance on Eekin'
Washington, D. c., July 2S.-Sec-e-
tary Hay signalized his return to
Washington from Canton this morn
ing by the announcement that under
no circumstances will the United
States government accept the Chinese
offer to turn over the foreign minis
ters to the internationals at Tientsin
in consideration of suspension of the
campaign against Pekin.
A long cablegram was dispatched to-
and it is believed that this instruction
day to Rear Admiral Remey at Taku
was laid upon him.
The state department asserts 1t Is
pursuing an entirely consistent course
in this decision. The officials point
out that all the bitter criticism in the
European papers directed against the
United States policy is based upon ,
total misunderstanding of the funda-
mental principles which have govern
ed the actions of the department. -
At no time, it is said, has the state
department allowed the belief that tho
foreign ministers at Pekin were alive
to interfere in the slightest degree
with the prosecution Of its military
plans for reaching Pekin. On the con-
trary, the news that the ministers
were alive was accepted by the state
department, not as conveying absolute
verify, but as an additional reason for
Fastening the relief column forward to
Pekin.
