Prof. Artemieff drew sparks from the sec ondary terminals of a transformer which was giving a tension Of 75.OO1 volts, the, period being 50 cycles per sec ond. He next seized the main. and later on, the potential being raised to l50 GOO volts, he drew sparks from both terminals, and handled the latter. The machine supplying this transformer was of 170-kilowatt capacity. In con- cluding the experiments, the inventor shOrt-circuited this generator by clutching hold of the terminals. the po- tential difference between the two being 900 volts, and hte current passed 200 amperes. The circuit was broken by simply letting go of one electrode. Throughout these experiments Prof
 ATtemieff declared he felt not the slightest sensation of any current through his body.-From Engineering.

so engrossed in tine discussion of the af- fair that time flew rapidly to them and the dinner was somewhat prolonged in consequence. The ladies did not leave the table, and it was about 9:15 when the hostess finally gave the signal for going to the drawing room. Mir Flint immediately joined the man whose con- VcrsatiOn had so interested him. In q moment mere they would have been again deep in their talk had not Mrs. Flint touched her husband on the arm.
 What is ii, dear?" asked Mr. Flint.
 Tt will be half after before we can get started home his wife replied.
 "Ch-ah-Will it?" said Mir. Flint, looking around in surprise.
 Then he shook hands with his friends, said gOod-by to his hostess and van ished with his wife, having stopped the important conversation in the middle of a sentence.
 Tt would take nothing less than an earthquake to keep Charles k. Flint out of bed later than 10 o'clock, said one of the guests who knew him well.
 He is as regular as clockwork in his meals, he smokes very moderately, drinks not at all and eats only the plainest and most wholesome food.
 These things may explain why. in spite of the terrific business strain to which he has subjected himself for years, he has never had a serious ill., ness. His step has the spring of early manhood. his eyes are bright his skin is smooth and tinted with health-pink and his flowing side whiskers. mustach and hair are as black as they ever were. They show not one whitening hair.
 He has never gone in extensively for sport, his one desire along that line ne- ing to possess the fastest steam yacht in the world. This desire has been gratifed, apparently. by the builders of the Arrow, for it is reasonably cer- tain that had it not been for a misun- derstandinE of signals which delayed her somewhat, she would have made a mile at the rate of 46.25 miles an hour, the contract requirement.. Her builders confidently expect that she will reach this speed during future trials As 1t

THE PHOENIX CONTINGENT
Closing of the Naval Recruiting Of
 fee Yesterday.

Lieutenant Morton closed the naval recruiting office here last evening and Dr. Curl and the other members of his party left last night for Fl Paso. Lieu tenant Morton will leave for Fl Paso this evening.
 So far three recruits were secured here with the probable enlistment of three more to report to him later. James
 L. Cassidy of Mesa City. mentioned yesterday was the first one, and Will liam T. Russell and F. T. WOmack en- listed yesterday. A son of Ben Rybon, well known in the territory, desires to enlist and has the consent of his father, though the necessary papers have not been received yet. for which Lieuten- ant Morton is waiting another day.
 Charles Lines is also on the list awaiting results, and Carl lager signed as cook on the Iowa and will leave for San Francisco tonight. Twelve appli- cants were examined by Dr. Curl and eight of the twelve passed, those not joining being barred by not gaining consent of parents or some other equal ly gcod reason. 1t is likely though that the result of the office here will net c half dozen recruits. Lieutenant Morton said yesterday that Arizona's young America was all right, and if there was only a little war. scare or something to inspire the boys he would rob the ter ritory entirely of the flower of its young manhood.

ALL MANAGED BY MRS. FLINT.
Wife of President of the Rubber Trust
 Directs His Daily Conduct.

Charles R. Flint is unquestionably one Of the most extraordinary men in New York city. He began with noth- ing, and he is nov worth more millions than he can count. But this is a rec ord not sufficiently unusual to attract special attention in this land of fast formed fortunes. or late years he has not been mentioned often in the public prints. The present reminder of him is the the performance of his steam yacht Arrow, which recently covere a measured mile on the Hudson river at the rate of 44 2-5 miles an hour.
 MT. Flint is one of the few holders of great fortunes in the United States who has drawn nearly all his money, not from his countrymen, but from for eigners His vast fortune has been ac- cumulated almost wholly in the South American trade. He is also one of the few American milIionaires whose er- forts to accumulate money have not wrecked his health. This is very large ly due to the constant care of his wife It is Mrs. Flint, not his business asso- ciates. who dictates his hours of labor. recreation and rest. She decides how long he may remain in his office, what and when he must eat. how long and in what way he shall play and when and how long he shall sleep. Their social acquaintance is, O. course, very large but such merrymaknS as they attend must begin and end early in the even Ing.
 On one occasion Mr. and Mrs. Flint were dining with Mrs. John J. Knox, the brilliant widow of the famous comptroller Of the currency. Among the guests at the dinner was one man whose knowledge of a certain interna- tional matter. in which MT. Flint was deeply interested. was greater than that of any other person. This man was to sail for Europe on the following morning; this dinner. therefore. was the only opportunity offered for talking the matter over. The two men became

Teller Against Wolcott for
Senator.
BATTLE IN COLORADO
Should Republican Majority Be
Elected Ex-senator Can Step into
the Shoes of His Former Colleague
Convention Meets Tomorrow.

Denver, Sept IL The p.inci-
pal issue in the coming cleo
ton in Colorado is the United
States senatnrship and it Is already
apparent the contest is distinctly be-
itMeAn Henry III 4 Teller and Edward G..
Wolcott. The democratic and popu-
list members of the legislature are
pledged by the state conventions of
their parties to vote for the reelection
of Teller. 1t appears there wlil be lit
tie or no opposition to Wolcott in the
republican party and should a republi-
can majority be elected to the legisla-
ture the ex-senator can step into the
shoes of his former colleague.
The republican state convention will
meet in this city tomorrow for the
purpose of nominating full state
ticket and congressman at large.
Frank G. Goudy Of Denver, who was
defeated as the republican candidate
at the last election, will probably be
the nominee for governor.

professional, and the local bunch We're
not playing anything approaching the
game they are at present putting up.
