Electricity Interferes with Science

Electricity Interferes with Science.
The observations of earth currents at
Greenwich observatory have been
made practically useless for several
years by the electric railway from
Stockwen TO London. modern instru-
ments being so sensitive that indica-
tons of the current of this railway
have been detected more than 100 miles
away. An early effect of the railway
led to a funny experience. The gener-
ating station was visited by the mag
netic superintendent of the observa-
tory, and on his return TO work the
tracings of his magnets showed a curl
GUS detection, which continued day
after day, but only during the hours Of
his attendance. The idea that he was
magnetized was a startling one. But
one day he left his umbrella at home
and there was no disturbance, the UNI
brella having been permanent magnet
since the visit to the power station.

MARRIAGES IN THE ARMY.
Stringent Regulations in Force IN Sew.
eraI Countries,

eral Countries.
The restrictive conditions at present
in force with regard to the marriage of
officers of the Russian army, says a
writer in the Brooklyn Citizen, forbid
this privilege under any circumstances
in the case of officers under the age of
%. Between the ages of % and %
years the dot of an officers wife must
amount to sum representing the mini
mum income of 250 rubles yearly.
On comparison of these conditions
with those regulating the same ques-
ton in other European armies, it may
be noted that in the AustrO- Hungarian
army the number of officers authorized
to contract marriage Is limited by a
fixed proportion assigned to each
grade, and, these totals being reached
all further marriages must be deferred
pending the occurrence of vacancies in
the married establishments.
The Italian army regulations, which
fix the income of the tiancee at mini
mum of from l 1000 to 1000 lire, would
appear to be more rational in their
operation. Italian officers. however,
apply a somewhat liberal interpreta-
ton to this law, with the result that the
number of marriages occurring under
actual provisions does not exceed more
than one-eighth of the total number,
seven-eighths of the officers being uni
ted under the conditions of the re-
ligious ceremony only, and thus expos
ing themselves to all the inconyeni-
ences which attend marriage not rec
i ognized by civil law.
Similar disabilities would now an
pear to be incurred by the Russian of
ticers, and suggestions have been made
by the press in Russia that a general
revision of the law is necessary. The
question is assuming more Importance
from the fact that Russian officers.

NOT THE MAN.
Suspect In the Cudahy KIdnap-
inE Case Proves His In


Omaha, Neb., Dec. 24.-There was a
decisive development in the Cudahy kid
MAPPING case Sunday, although the dis
closure is negative in kind. 1t has been
learned that there were two bandits
(not three) implicated in the abduc-
ton. One Of the outlaws has been
eliminated. The dark-complexioned
man with the black mustache and
black hair tinged with gray, SO minute
ly described by Miss Maud Munshaw,
was in the Office Of Chief Donahue Sun
day afternoon, and was there CON
fronted by Eddie Cudahy, his supposed
victim. His name is johnson. After
carefully s~crutinizing him, the boy
said: THAT is not the man. He is
not tail enough by an inch and a half
and he's not broad enough. He's too
small in every way"
There is still a dark-complexioned
man in the case, but he is larger than
johnson and younger. Otherwise he
is very much like johnson, having a
black mustache and dark hair, slight
ly mixed with gray. If the police have
any idea who this man is, they will
not admit it. So far as they know, he
was seen by but one person, and that
is Eddie Cudahy himself. The other
bandit was the light-complexioned man
with the brown hair and long, light
mustache, slight Of build, and whose
age is said to be somewhere between
30 and 35 years. This individual is de-
scribed by three persons besides the
kidnapped boy, namely: B. X. Mum
shaw, James Schneiderwind and Frank
Glynn. He is the man who called at
the Schneiderwind home to engage the
cottage at ~Thirty-sixth and Grover
streets, and who called up the Cud-
ahy mansion from Glynn's livery stable,
to give notice ON the letters being in
the front yard. The police are salts
fed that they know this man, and, il
he is the person they think he is, he
will probably be in custody within the
next ten days, at least. If guilty, he
cannot remain at large long, they say.
