in handling the materials and the wis
dom of employing the best safety de-
vices to prevent accidental discharge
and TO extinguish the resulting flames
in case the explosion does take place
A large percentage of the damage from
such accidents results from the spread
of the flames instantly after the con-
oussion, and when no one is prepared
to combat them and they easily take
hold of the splintered woodwork. The
special object of the invention shown
in the drawing is to surround each
individual cartridge with a fire ex-
tinguishing agent, adapted to smother
the flame arising from the explosive.

Gently. stated that the one he is now
building, No. Z, which will be the larg-
est he has yet used, will be cigar
shaped like the Others but that it will
have two inner cases instead OF one
and be without inside framework, the
gas pressure alone being depended up
on to keep it rigid. He also said 1t
would be provided with two petrol mo.
tors of forty-five horsepower each, and
expressed the opinion that petrol
would soon be the sole power used for
aerial traffic for the reason that with
it half of the power is derived from the
air, thus minimizing the weight of fuel
to be carried. NJ Dumont further re.
marked that he intended continuing
his experiments for the present with
machines of one man capacity.

The question of economy doesn't enter
into the scheme of the latter class.
A Walnut street manufacturer OF
Turkish cigarettes sells, at $3.50 a

bacconist, according to the Philadel-

baccos that, with the duty added,
would cost as much as $50 a pound in

A good story is now going the
rounds in the fashionable circles of
Europe anent the recent experience
of Mrs. Andrew Carnegie with a lead
ing Partisan modiste. Mrs. Carnegie
is noted for the refined simplicity of
her gowns. On this occasion she paid
a visit to the establishment of one of
the greatest of Partisan counturiereg,
to which one of her titled English
friends had recommended her as be-
ing the place of all others where she
could get the elegant simplicity she
so much admires. The quiet lady
dressed in brown was not recognized
as the wife of Americas S great iron
king as she entered the reception
room, and it is far from her nature
to announce her prominence. So the
great master glanced at her. and with
a thousand regrets was sorry that it
would be some months before he could
find time to attend to madame's wants.
This soon reached the ear of Lady -,
who at once wrote to monsieur in re-
gard to the incident. Many and humble
were the apologies, but the great Am
erican lady has been ever since thor
oughly convinced that a certain mas
ter will never make a gown for her

designs

Germany Values The

Germany seems to place a value on the
services Of women different from that

country orders have been issued to cut
down the number OF women employees in
public service. especially in the postal
service. as rapidly as possible, the rea-
sons given being general Incompetence

and similar things. In Germany, on the
contrary. the authorities of the State
railways have announced that 1encetorth
as many women as possible will be en-
ployed in service and that women in the
future will be eligible to posts at the
telegraph and ticket Offices in the tele-
phone offices and as clerks in lie count
ing offices and freight department.
Prussia has for some years favored the
employment of women and this order
will bring about like conditions through
out the whole empire.

Wireless Experimenters.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The public might as well take all the dis
patches that refer to amazing strides in
wireless telegraphy and telephony very
calmly. There is great deal of old ma
terial being worked over by experimenters
in various parts of the country, and the
known achievements Of laboratory experts
are being rediscovered with vengeance
There are today a number OF practical sys-
TENS of wireless telegraphy known. Mar
conf leads in the audacity of his successes
but all the leading countries have their
own savants who have solved the problem
States Prof r. F. Fessenden of the
weather bureau is working out system OF
his own which promises splendid results.
Prof. Fessenden is under contract with the
government, and his system is to become
the property of the government when all
experiments are completed. Others are In
the field with various systems and claims.
and in case Of rival patents, IL commercial
success is assured, the United States courts
will no doubt be kept busy.
What is true of wireless telegraphy is
also true of wireless telephony. 1t is in no
sense novelty. AS early as 1894 Sir VIII
liam Preece demonstrated in England the
possibility of telephony by induction across
conduction, by the use of rods or plates in
the earth or in the water, has been DEM
onstrated here and in France. In many
ways the field of wireless telephony is q
free one, but at present there seems to be
a general disposition for experimenters to
claim to be the "only originals" on very In
sufficient grounds.

ers Of America today. In each case the
policy to be pursued by the union was de-
termined, but just what course will be fol-
lowed is cal efuly guarded secret
The action Of the national board, 1t Is
believed, foretells a strike in both dis
tricts, unless the operators shall yield to
the demands of the miners. Just when the
strike will be ordered is a part of the Sc
cret of the national board. In the anthra-
cite district no strike will be ordered, how
ever, until the full thirty days given the
National Civic Federation to arbitrate the
differences between the, miners and oper-
ators shall have expired April 27
1t Is believed another effort will be made
to arrange a conference between the min
ers and operators Of the Virginias before
any final action shall be taken, but in case
of failure to bring about such a convention,

The situation is practically unchanged in
