A meteor that flashed out illumination
like an electric storm dropped into the
sea but half mile distant from the
British steamer Fashoda. Capt. Gray,
which arrived in port Monday with a
cargo of ore from Rio Janeiro. The
brilliant display occurred about 10
o'clock Friday night. January 81. as the
ship was coming up through the semi
tropical regions of the West Indies.
Capt. Gray was on the bridge at the
time. Suddenly the dark heavens were
lighted up by what seemed to be dis
charges Of summer lightning. Then n
from the sky, with n tail of fire like that
attached to Il comet. 1t lighted up the
whole ship. and its rays penetrated the
vessels interior. causing the officers to
run ON deck. The light was too daz-
zling to permit anyone Judging the size
of the ball of metallic fire. 1t plunged
into the sea and in an instant all was
darkness again. As a high wind was
blowing it could not be discerned if any
noise accompanied the meteor.-Balti-

An improvement in locomotives which
promises a notable reduction in coal bills
is reported. Its author is j. Il. Marshall
of Leeds, England, and it's application is
TO the valves which LET steam. into the
cylinders. The new mechanism has peer
thoroughly tested on an engine belonging
to the Great Northern road locomotives
of the same weight and type, but having
simultaneously on the same section of
road, for purposes of COMPARISON In
one trial the Old engine took 5I.I1 pounds
of coal to the mile, and the new per-
formed the same work with 1921. On
another occasion the difference was more
striking, the coal consumption being -
pounds as against 80. Still later the
converted engine hauled loads which
were from SO to so per cent. heavier
than those of the other train, and did it
with less coal. This time the figures
were 81 and G3, respectively.
In the meantime the Marshall valve
gear made it possible to carry lower boil
er pressures, the gain in this respect be-
ing from 20 to 30 pounds.
1t is said that the new mechanism can
be substituted for the old on any loco
motive. 1t is not necessary to build a
special engine TO utilize the invention.
If the expectations which are new cher
ished regarding the device are fully
realized a marked economy will soon be
effected in the operation of railways.
The new valve gear. by the way, is suit
ed to use on steamships, but has not yet
been tested there.-LOndon Times.

TUNED" TELEGRAPHY.
How Sig. Marconi Secures Secrecy
of His Wireless Com
munlcatIOns

Mr.. Marconi prefers not to talk freely
concerning the technical features of his
wireless telegraph work, partly, perhaps,
because some OF them are still unprotect
ed by patents. He was kind enough the
otnef day, nevertheless, to afford little
information to tn New York Tribune
concerning the operation of tuning
upon which the value of his system OF
wireless telegraphy largely depends.
\ violin string emitting a certain note
VIII cause tuning fork to respond, If
poth nave exactly the same natural rate
OF vibration. The size and tension of
the string control its musical pitch, ana
the size and length of the steel prongS
govern that of the fork. Varying these
factors changes the frequency of the Vi
brations, and so throws them out of har-
m0ny In that case the fork will not
give any sounG In sympathy with the
string. Every electrical circuit-a con.
tinuous sequence of wire, either with OF
without instruments along the route
shows preference for some particular
frequency when conducting a RAPIDLY al
ternating current. This may be called
ITS natural rate. The circuit viii CON
duct alterations of other frequencies. of
course, but less acknowledgements. The
natural rate, however. can be altered bv
VARYING the length Of the wire. or by sub
Jectlng the instruments in the circuit to
certain notifications.
Hertz showed that if near short cir
cult of wire in which violent and rapid
oscillations were taking place a second
circuit be held, the latter would be SINH
larry disturbed. But the sympathy
would be much livelier if the natural
rate of vibration was the same in the two
circuits. This phenomenon is called
electrical resonance" Mr. Marconi
makes use of that principle when he
tunes his receiving circuit to accord
with the sending circuit. AS a matter
of fact, he has two circuits in his send
ing apparatus, and two at his receiving
station. all of which need to be thus
brought into tune III order to give the
best results. Reference to the accompa-
nying diagram, which roughly illus
trates the arrangement at the transmit
ting station, will help to an understand
ing of the process.
Those who are at all familiar with
the mechanism of the earlier methods of

il all. With a last vow to CIemcntine
on his lips he rushed to the canal and
leaped into its waters.
Clementine, knowing that JACQUES
ought tc have been back by noon, had
been worrying about him for the last
twelve hours. What could have han
pened? The dread of accident alternated
with another disqnieting thought There
were plenty of pretty girls in the city.
Perhaps Jacques had been ensnarcd hy
one of them. He went 10 the market
every Saturday. Very likely he had

jealousy would vanish and her anxious
fears return.
At supper the farmer noticed that
Jacques was absent. He went to the
stable and found that the horse and cart
were missing also Coming back with Il

This. of course, though safe. is excit-
ing enough, the moments of vigil being
passed in tense expectancy and affording
one the same eXhilaratiou derived from
following n spoor in the jungle when the
hunter cannot know at what instant he
may come upon game. But the other
method of securing tigers is consider
ably more interesting. When the Eng
lish officers in India hunger for real ven
turesome sport they invade the jungle
with elephants and horses. trusting TO
kill the creature before il closes in.
"At the English clubs in bombay and
Calcutta you may be entertained unlim-
itedly with accounts of such expeditions.
but the most singular one | know is that
of smart young officer who won his life
quite honestly from a tiger, after being
pulled from an elephant and almost
slain. This tiger started up from his
lair at the approach of the line of ele-
plants, and did not wait for attack, but
selecting the nearest, sprang Hereby to
his back. 4 dozen shots were fired n
the tiger while in mid-air. and several
struck home, but he landed, neverthe-
less, hloodAecked and savage. Selling
the officer about the waist, he dro""ed
10 earth and started for the jungle.
Afraid of killing their comrade, the 9th
erS did not dare shoot. and with SORROW
in their hearts began to follow the bloody
trail. What was their establishment
half-an-hour later to come upon the tiger,
lying dead, and the officer sitting by
sroggy but conscious. holding on to his
empty revolver! Though terror-strickpn,
he had presence of mind enough while
travelling along with the tiger to slip the
pistol from its holster. and put tive
shots in the animals brain. Death was
instantaneous. Allen Sangree in Aims

TRIBULATIONS OF JACQUES

AS Jacques put the horse to the cart
his master said:
''Vatin will give you 60 francs for the
calf. understand. Take care you don't
lose them"
mo fear of that" replied Jacques con-
fidently, as he tied the calf fast and
started on his three leagues journey
from Etricourt for st. Quentin. Arrived
at the city he went straight to the butch
er Vatin, delivered the calf and received
the stipulated 60 francs, as well as
liberal potion of brandy. AS he drove
away he noticed that the clock indicated
a quarter to 8, and said to himself that
he would easily get back to the farm by
dinner time. He drove slowly along the
street, peering into the shop windows.
One which bore the sign, "NiIsse Soeurs,
Modistes," attracted him so strongly that
he drew up TO the curb and halted to
feast his eyes on the marvels displayed
in the window. There were hats and
bonnets of wonderful complexity and
riotous colors, and ribbons of rich velvet
and glttering satin.
What especially aroused his admira-
ton was a big straw hat, patriOtically
adorned with blue-bottles, daisies and
poppes and broad green ribbons. He
dismounted and stood before the win
dow, with his eyes and mouth wide open.
Some day, he thought he might be able
to buy such hat for Clementine. His
mouth expanded into broad smile as
he conjured up the picture of her pretty
face framed in this work of art, and
thought how pleased she would be TO re-
ceive such q gift from him. Clementine
and he were employed on the same farm,
and, if not yet declared lovers, were in
fair way of becoming such. His rev
cry was rudely interrupted by the pres
sure of a heavy hand on his shoulder.
He turned and saw MS Old comrade, Ze-
phyrin, and several other people men
and women, who h2ti stopped and were
laughing at his astonishment.
Il didn't know you with that thing
on" said jacques, pointing to the 9TH
er's high hot. Then his eyes wandered
over the c8mpany. The men wore high
hats andffrock coats or dress coats of
various. .Sintages; the women had on silk
dresses and shawls embroidered with
flowe4s.
