Prof Lucien Blake Experimenting
Along a New Line.

Kansas City, Jan. 31.-According to
the statements of Prof Lucien I. Blake
of the University of Kansas, who
lectured before the Commercial club
last night, one of the most serious of
modern municipal problems is the de-
s. siSssiis.l "a wafer l-.ias an! ether NJ
DEL ground pipes by electrolysis. No
means has yet been discovered to pre-
vent this.
BY the electrolysis of these pipes is
meant that electric currents, now SO
common in cities, coming principally
from electric car lines, escape from their
prepared mediums down into the earth
and there are attracted by the iron
pipes. Then the electricity by the chem
zeal process of electrolysis carries away
the iron of the pipes and leaves only a
carbon shell. This shell is friable, and
breaks as readily as ordinary graphite.
Electrolysis is the process of decom-
posing a chemical compound by the
passage of an electric current. In some
cities, notably in Boston and Cleveland,
Prof. Blake says, the question of weak
ened pipes is already a serious prob
lem one that costs a great expenditure
in the replacing of pipes, and a prob
lem that so far has defied the efforts of
all to prevent it under present condi-
tons.
With the rapid growth of the electric
street car system in Kansas City the
question of the underground electrolysis
will become proportionately more Sc
rious. A year or more ago Prof. Blake
was called here to make an examina-
ton of the piping of the two Kansas
Citys, then already beginning to be af
fected. Illustrating how strong the
electric current was then in the under
ground piping, Prof. Blake said:
II went to the mouth of the Kaw one
night at midnight where one of the big
pipes empties. After that hour only one
of the electric cars ran each hour to the
west bottoms. When the single car was
moving along the line, by the applica
ton of instruments to the piping,
could tell exactly when the car was
moving, when it stopped, and when it
started again. This showed how per-
feet was the current between the car
rails and the underground pipes, and
that the amount of electricity in the
pipes was considerable"
Acting upon suggestion made then by
Prof. Blake means were devised to OBJ
viate much of the trouble, so that as
yet the underground piping of the two
Kansas Citys is not in bad shape be-
cause of electrolysis.
Prof. Blake modestly refuses to dis
cuss his researches in electricity, espe-
cially applied to telegraphy. 1t is
known, however, that he has carried his
experiments lin the so-called wireless
te1egraphy far and that he is now work
ing in the hope of perfecting a plan
some what similar to the Marconi sys-
tenn He said:
4 am an experimentalist. It is not
right to say anything until an expert
ment is assured. Whether I shall sue
coed in my efforts do not know. There
is nothing to be said.
1.-THE system am experimenting
upon differs from the Marconi system in
that the Marconi plan is one of wireless
telegraphy, while the one 1 am endeav-
oring to perfect is that of a wireless
telephone system"

GOT NONE OF THE COIN.
Man Who Revealed Hiding Place of
Spanish Hoard Receives Nothing.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 31.-The
transport City of Pekin brings news
from Manila that Harvey l. Jackson,
trader of Malolos, who succeeded in
having $4,000 of insurgent coin turned
over to the United States, is a beach
comber in Manila, without funds to re-
turn to this country or start again in
business.
Jackson did well as a trader at Malo-
los till the war came. Then the insur-
gents looted his store and took him
prisoner, dragging him around from
place to place. When Lawton captured
San Nicholas Jackson escaped to the
American lines and in revenge prom
Used to reveal the hiding place of the
Spanish commanders treasure. Under
his guidance soldiers recovered $4,000
in coin, but they found much more coin
and jewelry, which was divided among
themselves. Several soldiers wore dia-
mond rings and all had abundance of
money. Jackson got nothing of the
plumber and his part in the recovery of
the treasury was never reported to
headquarters
