WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Telephone Lines to Europe Assured
by Late Invention.
DIR. Pupin Sells His Wonderful Long
Distance System for 100000 tn
Cash and "A Yearly Salary
of $500.

The Electrical Review announces the
purchase by the American Telephone
& Telegraph company (the parent Bel
company of the patents of DR.. NJ. l
Pupin, of Columbia college, which, il
states, cover the art of ocean telephony
and which enable telephone messages
to be sent over any length of lane
lines. 1t further states that the sun
of $1,000 has been paid to DR.. Pupir
for the invention, with an annual sal
airy to him during the life OF the pat
ents of 81 500.
The invention referred TO and fol
which two patents were issued in June
1900, is described at length, and it Is
characterized as one of the most bril-
liant and exceptional inventions of DR.
Pupin.
1t was thought necessary in order tC
talk given distance, say 500 miles, II
underground cables to employ large
copper wires covered with insulating
material. The expense of such wires
and material has been sufficient to pre-
vent the construction of long under
ground circuits. DR.. Pupin's invention
IS declared to furnish a method where
by conductors of relatively small di.
ameter covered with insulating mate.
rial of moderate thickness may be used
in place of the large and expensive con
ductors frequently thought to be nee
essary.
The Electrical Review, in describing
the invention, says:
''The essential feature of the inven.
tion, following the elaborate mathe'
matical analysis of the subject by DR.
Pupin. consists of the application OF
inductance and capacity to such a cir.
cult that is to all intents and purposes
equivalent to a continuous distribu.
tion of these qualities, but which is al
the same time practically possible and
commercial.
''Inasmuch as practically all waves
that are used in the transmission of sig
mails or of sounds through the tele

phones are of a highly complex char ac
ter, containing many elements of diff
ferent wave length and frequency. and
since the attenuation suffered by any
wave is directly dependent upon its
frequency and wave length, it happen.
that in ordinary circuits waves are moi
only attenuated and dampened in the
amplitude of their vibration. but are
also distorted by the more rapid sup
preston of their high frequency ele
ments and thus so transformed in char
acter that, particularly in the case oi
telephone work, they remain no longer
recognizable as the original waves i'm.
pressed upon the sending end of the
circuit.
"Dr. Pupin's investigation, begun BY
considering the remarkable physical
analogy between the case of a vibrat-
ing string and that of an electrical
conductor transmitting waves. led him
TO conclude that a formula might be
arrived at expressing the dimensions
of inductance coils and condensers nee
essary to add to a given circuit in or.
der to produce an effect sufficiently
close TO the ideal distOrtioniess circuit
for practicable purposes"
Experimenting with artificial con.
ductors, he discovered that il was pos.
sible to telephone over vastly greater
lengths of cable Of high capacity than
had ever been possible before, and that
so far as land line telephone or rapid
telegraphy is concerned, he was able
so TO improve existing conditions as &c
make any reasonable or desired length
OF telephone circuit easily possible.
Indeed, in the paper read before the
American Institute Of Electrical En-
gineers at Philadelphia, May is, 1900
he showed a design for inductance coils
to be introduced at appropriate inter
vals in the length Of a transatlantic
cable, which, he demonstrated, would
allow telephone conversation t. be
held across the Atlantic ocean.
at is believed by those who have in
vestigated the subject fully that the
improvement which his inventions con.
template Will enable telephony over
land lines of any length that are il use
to-day. and will solve the difficult and
attractive problem of oceanic tele-
phony."

The Chicago Chronicle is probably
right when it says that Michael No

strolled along Madison street at mid
night. He had seen things which
dazed him and he yearned for a nice,

bones. He was not particular where
he rested himself or the kind of a
bed he chose, so long as it had proper
springs.

whose vigilance at Carbiga, island Of
Samar, forestalled a massacre of the
garrison, is a son of Thomas NJ. Bains
OF Oak Lane, PA. Lieutenant Bains
was born in Philadelphia Dec. %,
1877, and was graduated from the
Friends Central school in 1895. He
then went to Cornell for n year. At
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war he enlisted in Battery L, Sixth
artillery, and was with the siege train
at Tampa, Fla. He remained there
until the close OF the war and in April,
1899. went with his command to the
Philippines, having been made n SER
geant. At Manila he was quartermas-
ter sergeant and on. July %, 1899. was
appointed a second lieutenant and was
assigned to the Ninth infantry in Chi
na. On June 1 Of this year he returned
to Manila and acted as assistant Gus
todian of Aguinaldo. On Aug. 10 the

Edison.s shorthand Greeting.

Thomas a. Edison, as is known, is
very deaf, says the New York Times.
Perhaps owing to this or possibly to a
playful pleasantly he has invented a
sort of shorthand speech, among which
is his greeting to the older hands in his
shop and laboratory. When he sees one
of these men, "Boov' says Mr.. Edison.
That expression has come to mean good
morning or good afternoon or good
night. The laboratory men have picked
up the peculiar greeting so that when
the boss" appears in the morning he is
greeted in his own shorthand speech.
1t is therefore boo, Mr.. Edison" to
the wonder and bewIlderment of the
uninitiated visitor.

RAW MATERIAL IMPORTS.
Tse Figures For Last Nine Months
show an Increase.


show Increase.
American manufacturers are evident
ly quite as busy in 1901 as they were in
1900. At least this is n reasonable con-
clusion from an examination of the
figures of the treasury bureau Of sta
tistics at Washington, which show that
the total imports of manufacturers
materials in the nine months ending
with September, 1901. were greater in
value than those of the corresponding
months of last year, although an an
aiysis of the imports, article by article,
shows that in many cases the prices
per unit of quality have decreased.
This decrease in price is so strongly
marked that in many cases, while the
figures of value show n decrease in the
nine months of 1901, as compared with
those of 1900, the figures Of quantity
for the same period show an Increase.
For instance, imports of india rubber,
when measured by value, show slight
reduction in 1901, as compared with
1900, while the quantity imported in
1901 shows an increase of more than
100000 pounds, as compared with the
same months of 1900. Pig tin used in
manufacturing tin plate shows in value
slight reduction in the imports OF
1901, as compared with last year, but
in quantity there is an increase of over
100000 pounds.
Imports of manufactured fibers
show decrease of more than $1,000
600 in value, as compared with those Of
1900, yet the quantity shows mate
rial increase. Taking the grand total
IF value of imports of raw materials
for use in manufacturing, the imports
in the nine months of 1901, compared
with those of 1900, were: For 1901,
1921 ,469, 1854; for 1900. $217,619,372;
while in the month of September alone
the figures of the month in 1901 are
SO, 725, 800, against SIS, 5059S0 in Sep
tenber, 1900, marked increase. They
formed in September, 1901, 81 per cent
of the total imports, against 81 per
cent of the total imports in September,
1900.
The following table shows the value
of the principal groups of manufacture
ers' materials imported in the nine
months of 1900 and 1901:

QUICK TIME TO LONDON. !
Proposed Run From New york. In
One Hundred Hours. - SS1is

New York to London in 100. hours
is the problem for which two great
American railroad companies are con-
sidering two solutions, says the New
York Journal. &.
The New York Centrars engineers
are working out the details of plan
involving the following route to- Eu-
rope, with a view of determining its
mechanical and commercial probabili-
ties:
New York to Boston by New York
Central and Hudson River and Boston
and Albany lines.
Boston to st. John. n. B., by Boston
and Maine railroad and connections
St. John to port on the Irish west
coast by line of swift steamships to
be established.
BY rail to Dublin; packet across
Irish channel; rail to London.
Time, days, 4 hours.
Pennsylvania railroad officials and
Clement A. Griscom of the American
Steamship company have had brought
to their attention anew the long cher
ished plan of Austin Corbin, who de-
sired to establish n steamship port ut
MOntauk Point, cutting many hours off
the trip by way of Sandy Hook and
making traffic for the Long Island rail
road.
The Corbin plan as modified and pro-
posed to the Pennsylvania, which now
controls the Long Island, makes two
jumps of the ocean voyage, as follows:
New York to GreenpOrt by Long
Island railroad. The East river tunnel,
when completed, would make this n
two hour run without change from a
terminal in down town New York.
Greenport to Halifax, n. s., by fast
steamship. Halifax to Southampton.
Estimated time, four days twelve
hours.
President Baldwin of the Long Island
railroad. when questioned about this
plan, said that the idea was familiar TO
all concerned in his company. 1--WE
have taken the ground he said, that
the railroad will never initiate n serv-
ice like that. If n steamship company
should take it up, it might happen in
time We have the railroad and would
be glad to cooperate in the service. L
have heard of no definite action taken
by anybody to this end"
The purchase for Vanderbilt interest
of control of branch lines in New
brunswick and eastern Maine has
been reported from that quarter recent
".
1t is said that these lines are
necessary links in such n race and
ocean route to Europe as the Wander
bits are reported to have in mind.
