with the same or equivalent courses of
study, but under separate name It
also provides that similar degrees shall
be awarded to graduates, the same as
those given for like work to men grad

No Color Line,

A despatch from Washington states
that President Roosevelt has determined
to settle the contest over the collector
ship of the Port of Charleston, S. c., by
appointing DR.. William Crum, a colored
physician, prominently identified with
republican politics in the South.
White citizens have filed with the
president protest against DR.. Crum's
selection without rejecting in any way
upon his ability or integrity. The presi-
dent holds that such resentment is I'M
reasonable, since, all of the other federal
appointments he has made in South
Carolina have gone to white men.

The Speaking Light.

The speaking light is the latest
novelty which has made its appearance in
Paris. II is the invention Of a German
professor. improved and perfected BY NJ.
Charles Heller. su electrical engineer. re-
siding In France. The apparatus consists
Of an ordinary arc lamp. minus the globe.
The lamp is placed on table and is con-
nected on the one hand with an electric
generator aud on the other with a micro
phone, which can be placed at any dis
lance. even miles. away. On the current
being passed and the lamp alight anybody
singing or speaking in front g over the
micTophone board is Immediately heard
by everybody in tbe room where the lamp
is placed.
The arc lamp produces every sound with
startling clearness. 1t is necessary. how
ever, for people looking at the lamp TO
wear smoked glasses, owing to its inten-
sity.
The invention is decidedly ingenius. but
at present IL is difhcult to see what use
ful purpose it can serve. except as a sub
stitute for the theatrophone. over which il
possesses the advantage Of allowing a
hundred or more persons TO listen TO a
concert miles away. instead OF only two
as is the case with the theatrophone. The
inventor. however, is OF opinion that at
a later period. when more thoroughly de-
veloped. the speaking light may have
great scientific possibilities before it.

Severe Tests for Car Wheels.

Some remarkable tests on car wheels
have Just been made at the foundries Of
the New York Car Wheel Works, OF
Black Rock. The company is filling an
order for a special quality Of wheels to
be used under 100, O00-Dound capacity
cars now being built for the Pennsylvania
Railroad By the Pressed Steel Car Com
pany. The requirements for wheels for
such work are very severe, and railroad
engineers have regarded that PROPOSE
ton as one Of the most difficult to be
faced in modern railroading. All the
railroad papers have recently been filled
with discussions on the subject.
The load to be carried by each wheel
In such cars exceeds eight tons, more
than double the load in ordinary practice.
The New York Car Wheel Works have
made a speciality for some years OF
chilled wheels for special service, and
the progress made in the manufacture
has been demonstrated by tests. The
specifications and test requirements OF the
Master Car Builders Association require
wheels to stand ten blows Of a weight Of
40 pounds falling twelve feet. the wheel
being placed horizontally. supported at
three points on the fange. Some rail-
ways also require the wheels to stand
the thermal test, which consists OF east
Ing band OF molten iron, one and a half
inches thick by four inches wide, around
the wheel tested. The test demonstrates
