Wireless Babel.

A national patriotism appears to be
influencing wireless telegraphy adop-
ton. Canada officially has recognized
the Marconi, this system being an
adopted child, as it was perfected and
demonstrated on Canadian soil, Great
Britain, through the Lloyd's contract,
has practically declared for the same
system. Germany is said to have des-
ignated the Slaby-Arco system as the
official system for navy and coast sig
nal stations. By similar reasoning
this country should declare for the
Tesla system, the practical work on
which has already been started in the
Long Island station. Tesla, in d re-
cent interview, declared that he had
solved the problem of secret messages
more than two years ago, when he
first considered the erection of com
mercial station. What, however, Will
be the result if each country adopts a
system which is not universal in Its
scope? The value of the new inven-
ton to mariners will certainly be
much circumscribed.

Statunry Carving Machine.

Only the expert artist who has
spent years of practice can carve
statue from block of marble, but the
merest novice can duplicate the orig
inal with the apparatus shown in the
accompanying illustration. Emora 7.
Brannan of Baltimore, Md, is the in
ventor, and with his device, he says,
it is possible to reproduce a piece of
statuary any number of times without
injury to the original, the repetitions
being of any desired size, according
to the adjustment of the machine.
To put the carver in operation the
statue to be duplicated is placed on
fixed pedestal within easy reach of
the operator. Then a block of marble
or other material is mounted on. a
second pedestal directly above the pat
tern. Between the two is suspended
a pivoted bar, with a tracing finger

Reducing TantalIc Acid.

Tanalum has been known hitherto
as more or less pure powder, with
a density of about 1850. By heating
ten minutes in very powerful cleo
tric arc, NJ. Henri Moissan has sue
ceeded in reducing tantalic acid with
powdered carbon, and has obtained
the metal in fused state. 1t has a
brilliant metallic appearance and
density of 1919. 1t is very hard,
easily scratching glass and quartz
has a crystalline fracture, and is in
fusible in the oxy-hydrogen blowpipe.
Certain reactions class it with Cne me-
talloids rather than with the metals
proper.

that under the law they hal no right
to do business of this kind and nature.
Plaintiff states that for he foregoing
reasons the contract made and enter
If carried into effect will cause the
city of Pine Bluff and the Bluff City
Lumber company is null and void, and
il carried into e ct will cause the
city and taxpayers, including the plain
tiff, to pay many thousands of dollars
more for lighting the streets than the
same would have cost had the contract
been leet according to law.
Wherefore. the plaintiff prays that
each and all of the defendants be sum
moned to plead and demur to plain
tln's allegations. and that upon !
hearing the contract be declared null
and void and that the officials and al
dermen be enjoined from issuing Oh
paying any warrants based upon the
unlawful contract, and for other re
lief.
Bridges & Wooldrlde are collectors
for the plaintiff. The defendants were
within twenty days.
The plaintiffs do not bring the suit
as the defeated bidders for the con.
tract. but under the law as a taxpayer
on the grounds that the law was not
complied with by the city by awarding
the contract to the lowest responsible
bidder. 1t has been apparent to every
body since the new company began
lighting the city that the old company
would make move to enioin the en-
forcement of the contract between the
city and the new company, as the old
company has never turned off its
lights, but has gone along lighting the
city just the same as if the new com
pany was not in business.
