f, 1t is intended to divide the business
among the ten east-bound roads, when
it is competitive, according to agreed
percentages. There are number of
good reasons for the pooling and d.
yiding of charity business" said a
passenger agent of one of the interest
ed roads. I'm the first place it would
correct many abuses to have all APP
plications for these rates pass through
the hands of a disinterested person,
as the chairman of the association.
Under the prevailing system the rail-
roads recognize requests for these
rates from a score or more local char
table organizations. Each applica-
ton must be considered upon its
merits and this consumes a great deal
OF time. Then many of the requests
are not legitimate. | venture to say
that SO per cent. of the persons who
travel on charity tickets are able to
pay full first-class fare. Subordinate
railway Offices and agents use the re-
quests for friends and others and
many of the applications are honored
for political reasons. The legitimate
charity business is considerable and a
division of it would prevent any one
line, for one reason or another, from
obtaining monopoly OF il. There are
serious traffic objections to the plan,
however, and whether these will re-
suit in defeating its adoption remains
to be seem" Other railroad men say
that the scheme may ne. be agreeable
to the executive officers of the rail-
roads. Many of the latter often au-
t1orize on their personal signature
the sale OF tickets at half rates for
charitable reasons and it is a question
whether the higher officials would
consent to have this prerogative taken
from them.

ing the first of thirty-eight new coach

range indicated by the pointer on the
dial of his instrument and immediate
ly conveys the information to the gun
ners.
The principle involved is a simple
one of triangulation, combined with
that of electrical resistance. Although
the principle is simple. the apparatus
is complex and is delicately construct
ed. When the lines of sight through
the two telescopes of the range finders
converge upon the target they are
moved from their usual parallel posi-
ton so that they form an angle with
line drawn from one telescope to the
other. In other words, if the tele
scopes were extended along their re-
spective lines of sight they would
meet and form an angle at the target.
The distance between the telescopes
being accurately measured there is a
triangle, of which two angles and one
side are shown. When one of the tele-
scopes is moved from the parallel posi-
ton at right angles to the line between

with it moves from one part of the arc
to another in contact with it, and al
ters the length of the electrical cir
cult from the range finder to the indi-
Gator. The electrical balance which
exists when the telescopes are parallel
is disturbed, and the disturbance. or
difference in resistance, is registered
on the dial of the indicator by its
pointer.
AS the change in position of the
telescopes causes disturbance. which
is measured and registered on the dial
| of the indicator, and as that change OF
the telescopes position bears a known
geometrical relation to the range of
| the target, it will be seen how the dis
lance of the target from the ship is cx-
actly demonstrated.

its fateful tale!
But bow came the writing on the

rub. The reporter knew it was not

table was bald deception. Then how
came it?

to examine the table before the

see that 1t was just as represented

to keep his eyes on the medium, was

he should flush the Convey, and at that

A SPRING POET.

The poet climbed the sanctum stair.
To seek the editor in his lair.
His hair was long and his collar soiled.
And his breath grew short as up he
toiisd.
AT last he reached the sanctum door.
The mecca sought by many bore.
The editor sat in a cane-seat chair,
And thus the poet addressed him
I've brought" he said, "a beautiful
thing,
A dainty poem entitled Spring"
The editor laid his T. u. down,
And rose to his feet with an awful
frown.
His eyes grew fierce with a baleful
glare
And the poet turned to seek the stair.
He found the stair and he made a
jump,
\ And landed below with an awful
thump.
Then out of sight clear up the street
The poet flew with nimble feet.
And with him went that beautiful
thing,
That soulful poem entitled Spring"

have been exceedingly dangerous to
all hands, and the outcome of con-
fiet largely matter of luck. A
chance shot from an inferior. vessel
might settle the fate of frst-class
warship before her gunners could get
an accurate line on the enemy.
The Australian range finder, as far
as locating the vessel is concerned, is
believed to be similar to the Fiske
with the latter two finders
are used on each warship. one located
in the forward military mast and the
other in the near stern.
The range finder proper consists
simply of an arc of conducting ma
terial, which in reality is merely a
length of wire supported ON circum-
ference of circular platform resting
on tripod. Centrally pivoted ON the
platform is an ordinary telescope.
The telescope is provided with an arm
or wiper" which sweeps over the
wire or arc. always making contact
with 1T. The extremities of the arc
of one range finder PLACID near the
bow of the ship, are connected by wires
which are properly insulated and dis
| posed between decks, so that they will
be protected from injury, with the
other range finder near the stern
| Connected to those wires Is the indi-
eating instrument, on the fact of which
| there is a dial marked to indicate yards
of range on pivoted needle or pointer.
With the pivots of the telescope is con-
nected galvanic battery of any con-
venient form.
/ The method of operating the Fiske
apparatus is as follows: The man al
the forward range finder keeps the
telescope bearing on the target and sig
mails the man at the indicator that he
is doing so. The man at the range
finder in the stern does the same. The
man at the indicator then observes the
