DIAMOND sHoAL LIoHTsHIF

Beins Provided with . Light That
May BE Seen Forty Miles Away. 4
An experiment of great interest to the
lighthouse eystem of the world is to be
made on the Diamond Shoal lightship
when she is placed on her station next
December, through which the officers
Of the lighthouse board expect to pro-
ject great thirteen inch beam Of light
from the sea to the sky, which will be
visible to mariners from thirty to forty
miles, says q Washington dispatch ID
the New York Sun. The cluster OF
white electric lights now shown from
the masts Of the lightship have visi-
bility of only thirteen miles, and 1t Is
proposed that shipping passing Halter
as may be able to pick up the lightship
three times the distance by the power;
full beams Of light playing on the heav-
ems The secretary Of the lighthouse
board believes, If the test is successful,
that 1t will play a most important part
in the lighthouse system and will be
applied to all lightships Of the future.

the Diamond Shoal lightship at Balti.
more will project beam straight to
ward the sky, and the rolling ship in
the rough waters off Hatteras will play
it about in wigwag fashion and nat
urally attract attention. Warships have
been known to maintain communica
ton for thirty miles wigwaggng theil
searchlights. Officers of the lighthouse
service believe it will be possible te
employ a searchlight system on light
ships by which the locality of the yes
sci may be discovered fifty miles away
under favorable weather conditions. Il
is contended that as a guide to mari
ners the new system, throwing thir
teen inch beam light into the dome Of
night, will be as far in advance of the
electric beacons of the first order as thu
beacons were ahead Of oil lamps.

THE CINCINNATI REBUILT.
The First All steel Warship to Have
a Eigurehend,

The First All Steel WarshiD to Have
a Figurehead.
The cruiser Cincinnati is the first all
steel ship of the service to have fs-
urehead, and when she is placed IN
commission at the New York navy
ward on Dec. 1 she will display life
size heroic figure Of Liberty in steel
and wood standing straight out from
her well curved stem, says Washlng-
ton dispatch to the New York Sun
This figxre was designed and con-
structed at the New York yard under
direction of Rear Admiral Francis L.
Rovles, then ia charge of the con-
struction workshops, and Is declared to
he a perfect specimen Of the figurehead
for warship. .,.
Such decorations disappeared with
the gradual abandonment OF WOOD 1or
steel vessels, and even with many OF
the old wooden craft there We're few OF
those immense tigureheads which years
oro were the distinguishing feature OF
oll American naval vessels. The last
# this number ia. display figureheads
we're the vessels of the line of battle
shin class that found their way to inc
burial ground of the navy soon a1teI
the civil war. The Cincinnati Is saiu
to be the only all steel vessel IN the
world of any naval power whose stem
is adorned with figureheaf.

HELLO GIRLS TO ELocUTE,


10 That They May speak Clearly.
A new telephone company Of Indian.
apolis has determined to open a school
OF elocution for the benefit of the "hel-
10" girls on one hand and the benefit
Of the public on the other. The theory
lie that many of the mistakes which oc.
cur In the exchange and much of the
Inconvenience caused to patrons are
the direct result of the want of clear
,enunciation on the part of the opera
tors. To the end that these impedi-
ments may be overcome one Of the
best elocutionists in the city has been
employed, and there will be regular
lessons in voice culture, free of charge,
under his direction.
The school will be open in the COM
pany's building, and every employee
who is in Aly way connected with the
telephone service as an operator will
be required to devote certain number
Of off hours each day to improvement
of his or her voice. 1t Is also said that
the company will hereafter make it a
condition to employment that the ap-
plicant shall undergo certain training
before being placed in charge Of a
switchboard at the exchange.
Officers of the company state that
while all it's employees will be required
to take lessons 1t is those who are en-
ployed in it's long distance service that
most need this training and for whom
they are more solicitous They realize
they are doing great deal of business
that the telegraph companies once did
and that this business can be increased
greatly if all obstacles to quick and
easy communication are removed.
Many of the more advanced farmers
of the state are receiving their market
quotations over the lines every day
and this is bringing the long distance
wires into a use where absolute accu
racy is required. and accuracy in this
case means clear ennunciatiOn.

NEW GIANT AMONG STATES
America Is Bent on Transforming
World, Russian Paper Says.


The Russian editors write about
President Roosevelt and the United
States almost every day. Nearly all
the papers are sympathetic and many
display accurate insight into American
affairs.
The Bourse Gazette says:
"The statesman who has uneXpect-
edly assumed the reins Mt Washington
is the perfect type of the American Of
today, and before him lies wider hor-
lion than any of his predecessors en-
joyed.
Between the United States Of our
day and the republic Of which the his
tory of the last century told us there
is little in common. The classic land
of freedom, the country which has de-
yeloped it's prosperity to wonderful dl-
mcnsons and which has realized the
boldest Utopias and the most daring
theories of political and social liberty,
the great transatlantic republic terri
fees the Imagination of Europeans. Ii
is q new giant state which the lat
est events have made a world power a
state which has transformed itself to
the point Of unrecognizability and is
bent upon Transforming the whole
world, rroclaiming through its ne"
chief magistrate that the word OF the
United States shall have due Weigh
everywhere where economic and pollt
zeal uuestioSs are decided"

the exigencies Of their social life, has
been sustained IL the constitutional
guarantees relating to indictment by
Jury and trial by a petit jury are not
federal in character and therefore DO
not tie the hands OF the inhabitants
OF a Territory when organizing as
state. why should they tie the hands
OF the President and Congress IN pre-
serving order and In protecting life and
property in our new possessions?
1T is strange contention that as
soon as the treaty went into effect the
power OF the President and Congress
to preserve order In the new posses
sious ceased. There were no grand yu'
ries, no petit jurles, no machinery Tor
Furnishing crime by the forces OF the
Anglo-SaXon law, and yet, II the llml-
tatiOns intended for the states al once
Of their own force applied N these
new possessions, crime could be pun
lshed In no other way. The Constltu-
ton which gave the United States the
power 10 acquire property by treaty
and imposed on Congress the duty OF
governing Il, did not leave the national
government helpless by demanding I'M
possibilities.
The brief then goes into the question
Of the validity OF the duties assessed
and collected on the several importa-
tons involved In the cases at bar fol-
| lowing the general lines of the argu-
ment heretofore made by Attorney
| General Grlggs.
II. however, contains some new sug-
| gestions, the most interesting being
this: II Chief Justice fancy was
wrong referring TO the case OF Elem.
ing vs. Jago. holding that the United
states may demand the cesslon Of ter
| ritory as the condition Of peace, in or
der to indemnify its citizens for the in
| juries they have suffered, or to reim-
| burse the government for the expenses
/ OF war;, and We cannot take territory
sub modo. TO indemnify or reimburse
us. but only to make # a part Of the
! United States, then before the Presl-
dent carries a war into the enemy s
country he should send committee
ahead OF the army to ascertain ana
| report whether the territory he pro-
poses to invade and conquer Is NJ TO be
! made a part OF the United States, for
neither the treaty-making power non
Congress can prevent that result If a
cesslon follows conquest. Before the
| President sent Dewey to Manila he
should have satisfied himself that the
Philippines were suitable for incorpo-
| ration into the Union for we could de-
stroy the Spanish power there only at
the risk OF have 10 assume the bur-
deus OF sovereignty ourselves"
