Loud Telephones for Ships.

One of the most important instru-
ments on modern vessels is the So
called loud talking telephone. Ex.
periments have recently been made
with 1t in the German navy. and have
proved so satisfactory that instru-
ments are now being placed on most
of the large sea-going ships. The spe.
cial value of this telephone lies in the
fact that captain standing on the
bridge can easily hear any words that
may be spoken to him from the in.
terror of the vessel. even though q
violent storm may be raging at the
time, and can In turn transmit without
straining his voice his own orders to
officers or men in any part of the YES
sci. Bad accidents have occurred
through misunderstanding of orders
given at a critical moment, due to
the fact that the words were not dis.
tinctly heard. and 1t is only reasonable
to assume that casualties of this kind
can be avoided in the future through
the use OF this loud-talliing telephone.

TRIBE TRAVELS ON PASS.
Piutc Indians Still Ride Free on Cen.
tral Pacific Road.

The biggest free pass ever issued
was the one which the builders of the
Central Pacific gave to Johnson Sides,
chief OF the Piute Indians of Nevada.
for himself and people for life. to ridc
back and forth on all except passeI-
ger cars as much as they pleased.
1t has been a source of delight to the
Indians to think that in one case, al
least, their paleface friends showed
the gratitude which is so seldom ex-
pressed. Those were polite as well as
wise men who daringly started that
early road, even before New York and
Chicago were connected by rail. They
knew that without the friendship of
the Indians the task would be almost
impossible. and they began by treat
ing the Indians well and keeping their
word with them-the only Indian
policy" necessary and the only one
which has ever succeeded. II you have
ever happened to ride through Nevada
on the railroad you must have been
impressed by the fact that the Indians
make themselves very much at home
on the trains. They swarm over the
platforms of blind baggage cars, on
lhe piutlolIhS Vi Dllnu D1ggage cars,
on the platforms of the mail and ex-
press cars, and on top of the cors and
empty fiat cars. Sometimes a freight
train pulls into Reno with more tons
Of Indians and their baggage than 1t
has of freight-and there is not a cent
for any of them to pay. If there is any
possible excuse for them to travel they
aboard and go until they get tired
or get to the limit of the State, which
ends their pass.
