THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.

The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment.
The Grip has surprised the doctors
and health authorities this season by
its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either fatal onset Of
pneumonia, OF complete breakdown
OF health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack of grip.
The wise course for all is prevention.
BY wearing Benson's Porous Iluster
on the chest and back you protect the
lungs from cold and chill and with
ordinary care) you are safe from grip.
For those who are already suffering
from grip, or from the usual winter
coughs and colds, Benson's Elasters are
sure and speedy relief and cure.
Highly medicinal and scientific.
Refuse limitations and substitutes.

PIGEON POST A CERTAINTY.
All England VIII Soon BE Served by
an EnterpristnE Bird
Fancier.

The era of pigeon post is here at last.
Edgar S. Shrubsole, the curator of the
Crystal palace, London, has taken the
first step in scheme for establishing
an organized and cohesive pigeon post
service throughout England.
The general idea is to construct
breeding and training lofts at the
Crystal palace, with new to linking
up" with other lofts throughout the
Kingdom, SO that the whole of the is
lands-in parts quite inaccessible by
tetegraph-wi1f be IN touch with the
central loft atAhe Crystal palace.
The special training of birds to and
from the channel and the North sea will
be undertaken in accordance with Lord
Laasdowne's suggestion. and particular
attention will be given to the utiliza-
ton of pigeons in the event of their be-
ing required for military or naval pur-
poses.
Another interesting development of
Mr.. Shrubsole's scheme will be !. the
press pigeon, which will be specially
trained for service between the palace,
Epson and other important sporting
centers and Fleet street. The first loft
is already being constructed at Syden-
ham,

AN UNDERsEA PHONE
Adaptation Of the Invention of DR..
Michael I. Pupin.
Line to BE Put In Between Florida
and Cuba for the United States
Government by Buyers
OF Patents.

The first undersea telephone built
according to the invention of DIR.
MichaelI. Pupin. is to be put down be-
tween Florida and Cuba for the Unit
ed States government. by the buyer
OF the patent, the Bell Telephone
company, says the New York Journal
and Advertiser
Last July DR.. Pupin, having secured
his patents here and abroad, offered
his discovery to the American Tele-
phone g. Telegraph company. The
company Immediately bought an OPP
ton on the invention, extending to
January l, 1901.
Then, under DR.. Pupin's direction,
the company equipped a line from
Bedford Station, on the Harlem rail-
road, which ran, partly under water,
to New Bedford, Mass. thence to AL
bany, and on to Pittsburgh. There
the wire ran overland, the coils were
placed at intervals of about two miles,
and We're inclosed in glass insulators
on the poles.
The test was SO satisfactory that
about two weeks before the option eN-
pred the company paid the money
and closed the contract with DR..
Pupin.
The Electrical Review, in a recent
article, says:
Experimenting with artificial con-
ductors, DR.. Pupin discovered that it
was possible to telephone over vastly
greater lengths of cable than had ever
been possible before, and is able to
make any desired length of telephone
circuit easily possible. He has shown
design for induction coils to be in
troduced at appropriate intervals in
a transatlantic cable which would
allow telephone conversation to be
held across the Alta ntic ocean. 1t is
believed by those who have, investi-
gated the subject fully that the i'm
provement which his inventions con-
template will enable telephony over
land lines of any length that are in
use to-day. and solves the difficult
and attractive problem of ocean tele-
phony"
