CHEAPER TELEGRAMS
Made Possible by Invention of Won
derful Little Instrument.
New Apparatus Makes II Possible to
Send Twenty-Four Messages
over the same Wire az the
same Time.

Some important experiments in con-
nection with new telegraph system,
which is said 10 cheaper considerably
the cost Of kilograms, have recently
been conducted by the postal en-
gineers between London and Glasgow
The new apparatus is the invention OF
a French engineer OF the name Of
hereafter, and by lis means il is pos
sible 20 send II separate messages
over one wire at the same time The
system is also capable Of being du-
picked. by which ~ separate mes
sages can be sent at one time over n
single wire
The details Of the apparatus are
comparatively simple. The wire is at
tached al either end TO 10 sending
wires, and in another case 20 10 re-
ceivers. AZ the sending end the cur
rents are interrupted by ~ rapidly
vibrating metal reeds, each reed vi
brating NJ a different speed. At the
receiving end are 10 telephone re-
ceivers with membranes OF different
thicknesscs, capable Of vibrating at
certain rate. but az no other. The diff
fcrent rates 81 these receivers are
identical with the rates Of the reeds
az the sending station.
When a message is sent, or when 10
separate messages are sent, what hap
pens is this: The r. currents enter
the wire each impressed with a diff
ferent vibration rate. AZ the receiv
ing station they pass through q nil
croscropic receiver which gives them
added strength. They are then dis
charged through the IL receivers. As
each Of these receivers only responds
10 vibrations OF a certain rate, they
select each the currents belonging 70
its particular message. but are inn
pervious 10 all the others BY this
means the messages are accurately
sorted out and kept distinct.

REDUCED TO LIQUID.
Hydrogen Liquehed by an English
Professor.
Conducts Interesting Experiments
Before HIS Classes in London
Hydrogen Appears Like
snow I'm Test Tube.

II is sufficiently wonderful 20 say
jar through the streets of London 10
his lecture-room nearly two quarts Of
liquid hydrogen, which until the
other day was the most intangible
form Of matter known TO man. On
arriving before his audience this wiz
ard Of science. who deals with tenn
peraturcs compared with which the
arctic cold is seething furnace,
proved marvels never Witnessed out
side OF his own laboratory.
He reduced hydrogen 10 solid
which appeared like snow in the test
tube, and announced that temper
allure had been produced eight or ten
degrees lower. or within nine degrees
of absolute zero. There is but one
substance now known which has as
yet not been reduced 10 a liquid; that
Is the new gas, helium. This most
volatile form OF matter has boiling
point four or five degrees above abso-
lutte zero. The hope Of being able TO
liquefy helium depends on subiecting
il to the same process as has succeed
cd with hydrogen. only instead Of
using liquid air under exhaustion, as
the primary cooling agent liquid
hydrogen under exhaustion must be
employed. and the resulting liquid
collected IN vacuum vessels surround
ed with liquid hydrogen.
In this way by the use Of liquid
or solid hydrogen as cooling agent,
il ought to be possible TO liquefy a
body having a critical point Of about
six TO eight OF absolute zero and a
boiling point OF four or five degrees.
Then il liquid helium could be pro-
duced, this substance would not en-
able the zero of temperature to be
reached. Another gas must be
found as much more volatile than
helum as helium was more than ny
drogen in order 20 reach within one
degree Of zero III the helium group
comprises a substance having an
atomic weight Of two or one-half that
OF helum, such gas would bring
nearer the desired goal. Meantime
the production of liquid helium is a
difficult and expensive enough prob
lem TO occupy the scientific world for
many day.

The bride took position on the

The officiating clergyman stood on

The wedding was kept secret because

MAN WITH STRANGE GIFT.
IL N Neritabie Magnet and Makes Iron
POkers Dance and walk by
Looking nt Them.

There is a veritable human magnet
at Alto Pass, H., whose power of
mind over inanimate matter seems
truly miraculous. His name is Viggo
Lerche. He arrived in the town sew
eral weeks ago from Copenhagen,
Denmark. on visit 10 his uncle, C..
lessen. The other evening at Mr..
Jessen's home Lerche took an iron
poker, three feet long and very
heavy, stood it against the wall AT an
angle Of about As degrees, sat down a
few feet distant, folded his hands,
looked steadily az the poker for
about one minute, when il began TO
shake and then rose 10 a perpendic-
ular position. After standing still a
minute the poker moved toward Mr.
Lerche in short jumps.
This Is only one illustration of
Lerche's wonderful power. He shuns
notoriety. and only once in awhile
can be induced 20 exert his strange
gift. II is positively known that
there is no trickery whatever in his
performance. He discovered his pow

has ever since regarded his own pow

PLANS TO ASSIST POULTRY.
rhe Illinois Humane society Takes
steps 10 Protect the Welfare and
Comfort OF Defenseless birds.

The Illinois Humane society has
been Investigating conditions SUR
rounding the shipment of poultry to
the Chicago marker and has decided
to prosecute for cruelty those ship
pers who coniine together animals Of
more than one species or size. Pres
ident Shor,all said:
Information has been received Of
gross carelcssness, resulting often in
great cruelty in the shipment of
poultry. One of the forms this cruel
~ takes, reported 60 us from Iowa,
is the confinement Of larger classes
of poultry, such rs turkeys with the
smaller, such as chickens This
cruelty must be evident 10 the most
casual observer. Animals in transit
are naturally in nervous aud ex-
cited condition. their surroundings
are strange 80 them and the space
unnatural, therefore, that the larger
and stronger animals should, under
such cruelty and in self-defense,
abuse and maltreat the smaller
"Chickens arrive at the end of such
journeys lacerated ana bleeding from
the attacks OF the turkeys. They are
thus rendered more or less unmar-
kctable, and the shipper Is the loser.
As q pure question Of economy,
therefore, animals Of one species and
size should as nearly as possible be
shipped by themselves. Even If the
turkeys did not pick at the chickens
their falling upon and bruising them,
through the rough movements OF the
railroad train, would often render
their flesh unfit for food
THE Illinois Humane society begs
20 draw the attention OF carriers and
shippers 10 these facts and TO re-
mind them that should live poultry

society packed in this condition we
shall consider il cruelty within the
letter and meaning Of the statute

Mrs. Dayan, wife of John w.
Dayan, one of the officials of the
Southern Pacific company, and the
mother of Mrs. Howard Gould. was
attacked by her pet cat and so seri-
Gus are her injuries that DR.. Doss, her
physician, fears blood poisoning. The
attack was made on Mrs. Dayan in
her home on University avenue, Palo
Alto, Cal. The cats were i'm the base
ment Of the house, and Mrs Dayan
went there 10 satisfy herself that all
was well with pussy and her kittens.
As long as Mrs. Dayan confined her
caresses TO the mother eat all was
well The animal purred and turned
her face aifectionately 10 her mis-
treSs. But when Mrs. Dayan at
tempted 10 carry one OF the kittens
lying close 10 the mother there was
trouble. The big cat sprang up and
before Mrs. Dayan could realize what
was happening the animal had sunk
her sharp front teeth into one OF
Mrs. Dayan's fingers. The teeth
passed through the nail and almost
severed the top of the finger. Again
the eat scratched and bit her hand
before Mrs Dayan flew upstairs.
The shock of the encounter made

limits a public hospital for the care
of consumptive poor The Henry law,
passed by the last legislature, gives
authority 10 the city TO establish such
an institution, and Mayor Van Wyck

ton was started by the Park District
Protective league and the Kingsbridge

The taxpayers request that imme-

hospital outside the city for con-
sumptiye poor; that the patients at
Seton hospital, a small hospital all
ready established, be confined 90 the
grounds; and that the institution be
compelled TO enforce proper sanitary
regulations.
In Germany over 100 santariums
for the care and treatment Of con-
sumptiyes have been established,
largely through government aid. IN
Germany the life insurance companies
find il profitable 10 send their insured
