To Talk Across the Ocean, ;,

Through the insertion Of inductance
coils into the electrical circuit, Profes-
sor Pupin, of Columbia University, has
greatly increased the efficiency of long
distance telephony Through cables. The
insertion Of the coils enables the cable
to transmit 5000 times as much cur
rent as it is able to transmit without
them. With an experimental cable
thus provided, it has been found pos
sible to carry on a conversation dis
tinctly at q distance of ESQ miles. BY
applying the principle to oceanic ca
bles, it is believed that telephone mes
sages might be sent to and fro across
the Atlantic. 1t would also greatly in
crease the rapidity. with. which ordi-
nary Geographic signals can be trans
mitted by cable. The principle is like
wise applicable for extending the range
of telephone communication over aer-
ial wires. s5. @ ":

The Size Of Sound Waves.

Lord Rayleigh, in discussing our
ability to tell the direction from which
sound proceeds, calls attention to an
interesting difference between the eyes
and the ears with regard to the size
of the waves that strike them. The
average wave-length Of light is about
one ten-thousandth Of the diameter of
the pupil Of the eye. On the other
hand, 8sthe waves Of sound issuing
from a mans mouth, = says Lord Ray
leigh, are about eight feet long,
whereas the diameter of the passage
of the ear is quite small, and could not
well have been made a large multiple
of eight feet" One consequence Of the
minuteness Of light-Waves in COMPARE
son with the size of the eyes is that
the lenses of the eyes are able to con-
centrate rays Of light upon the retina
with great efficiency.

Electricity Used in Dyeine e.,ot,,

Among the more recent tasks i'm
posed upon that busy new servant Of
man, electricity, is the acting as an as
slstant in the operation of dyeing,
When cloth soaked in aniline sulphate
IS placed between two metal plates
connected with the opposite ends of a
dynamo, and an electric current is
passed through it, the sulphate is con-
Verted into aniline black. By altering
the strength of the solution and OF the
current, shades varying from green to
pure black can be obtained. In the
case OF indigo, the cloth is impregnated
with paste of indigo blue and caustic
alkali The electric current converts
the lnsoluble indigo blue, by reduction
or oxygen, into indigo white, which is
soluble, and on being exposed to the
air becomes oxidized once more and
turns blue, thus thoroughly dyeing the
cloth with that color. e5 Z 4 ~

Plans for It's Rapid Building in
Few MonthsSurvey of Site Com,
pIeted March 10. 80 rsz.%
Two months ago the only building at
the junction of Clear and Granite
creeks was a log cabin 1Ox12 feet,
owned by Ed Benson, and built in the
days when the creeks sWarmed with
placer miners. Now the site is occu-
pied by the rapidly growing town OF
LaWton. The survey of the town site
was completed March 10. Three feet
Of snow covered the ground while the
survey was in progress. J. Mccarthy
completed the first building, Feb. 25,
nearly two weeks before the town was
laid.out. LaWton now has fifteen bust
ness buildings under way or nearing
completion. Besides these, there are
several tents that are used for business
and for dwellings,. "--."
Home building has been retarded be-
cause Of the scarcity of lumber the
saw mills giving preference to the or.
ders of those who are getting ready for
business. Rough lumber is held at
$14 per LOCO feet. and No. / flooring,

and $50, 600 has been invested in build

are carried out many more buildings

summer. Thirty-seve lots have been
sold on Spokane avenue, the purchaser
in each case agreeing to build within
three months. Performance Of this

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Women who do not look lovely In a
Wet bathing suit will eagerly adopt a
notion which is being advocated by a
society OF hygienists in London. That
Is Is. that, generally speaking, a sun or
air bath is much better for health than
an ocean dip. THE truth isl says an
English doctor, the popular idea Of
sea- bathing is absurd. It is so far
from r1 N being everybody's. tonic that in
many cases it is menace to life. The
dip, that even frail women heroically
force themselves to take, believing it
is the right thing to do, is too severe
q. 81 shock to nerves and systems unac-
customed to sudden or violent exer-
tons In place Of sea- bathing the
London hygienists recommend air or
sun baths, taken lying on the beach,
says Harper's Bazaar. It is a fact es-
tablished in medical science that mere
exposure of the body to the air pro-
duces physical changes that go far to-
ward counteracting the degenerating
effect Of civilized life The course rec
commended, therefore, by this latest
health fad is to lie at ease on the sand,
bathed in sunshine and fresh air. and
afterward have a thorough rubbing
down, which process further invigor-
ates a worn body. Happily for those
who are poor in purse as well as in
health, this fresh-air cure may be
taken without the expense OF travelling
to summer resorts. @hs>- ga. RI y. g.
A wonderful new hospital has just
been built in Paris which promises to
make a revolution in the world Of
medicine. It was the dream Of Pas
tours life, and, strangely enough, a
few days before his death the large
funds necessary for the purpose were
offered anonymously to this great man,
SO that he had the pleasure during his
last days on earth of knowing that one
OF his dearest ambitions would be full
filed. The hospital is now nearing
completion and stands opposite the
Pasteur Institute. The building con-
sists of isolated blocks joined by un-
derground corridors. f..

and summer garden for the patients.
The whole system is worked on the
plan of <disinfection and isolation"
On entering the hospital the patient
has bath. Having been put into hos
pital clothes, he then gets into bed, in
which he is wheeled or taken by
lift to an isolation room. The
room he has just left is disinfected; so
are his clothes. Each block contains
twenty flour rooms containing one bed
each and two wards for convalescents
with twelve beds. The air space of each
room is thirty-nine cubic meters in
stead of the regulation thirty. At the
present moment diphtheretic patients
and persons bitten by rabid animals
are being treated, but the hospital is
not, by any means to be confined to
these cases when the entire building is
complete. It is splendid memorial to
one of the most wonderful men the
world has ever seen. ~ -. -. ...sr

STOPS A SHIP QUICKLY.

The necessity for stopping vessel in
a short distance often occurs and has
led Friedrich Wendler. Of New York
city, to devise the drag brake shown
in the accompanying cut. Its use may
be the means of saving many a COLI

shoal water appears suddenly. In
either case the vessel cannot be
stopped in too short space of time,
