SHIPS SAFE IN THICKEST FOG.
JALTABLE system DEVISED ny
4 LONDON INVENTOR.
Wireless Tciegraphy Combined With the
Ordinary Fog signals - Instruments for
Determining the Direction and Dis.
tance From WhichN a rning SolIn,is Come

l. NDoS, Feb. 2l.-A system Of roo
signalling, which combines wireless teleg-
raphy with the present foy whistles. has
been devised by London inventor Charles
Edward Kelway. For his system Mr..
Kolway claims simplicity, accuracy and,
most important Of all he ability Of a steam
ship captain by it 10 determine in the
thickest fog not only the distance. but
the direction TO a compass point from
which the fog signals are coming. In
other words, Mr. .Kelway asserts that steam-
ing in a fog may be rendered as safe a.
ordinary night sailing where the navigator
depends upon lights for his guidance
The plan il founded upon the well-known
ira ravelling velocity Of sound, which Is ap-
proximately 100 feet a second. as COM
pared with light. which IL for all practical
Purposes instantaneous. This knowledge
finds practical value with surveyors; and
in warfare artillerists seeing the fash -
the enemys guns and counting the seconds
which elapse before the det tonation is heard,
can determine roughly the distance nt
which the opposing batteries are located.
Mr.. Kelway simply substitutes for tho
fash Of light the Hert zian waves OF wireless
te!egraphy, which are as rapid in trans
mission as light. To make his plan success
f,ll il would be necessary that all steamers
and every fog signalling ation be equipped

M4DAGiSC4RS CAPITAL.
Tamataye on the East Coast Is to he the
Future Headquarters OF the French.

The French Government has authorized
Gen. Gallieni 10 transfer the seat OF MAZDA =
gascar's Government from Antananarivo,
on the highlands of the interior, about
one hundred miles from the coast, 10 the
town Of Tamatave, on the east coast which,
though regarded as unhealthful for Euro
peans, is the most important port of the
island.
This news will surprise many readers,
for in some respects Tamatave is far in
ferior 10 the old capital of the Hovas An
tananarivo has about 100000 inhabitants,
while Tamatave numbers only about one
tenth as many. The old capital. 800 feet
above the sea, is one Of the most healthful
places in Madagascar, while Tamatave has
a bad reputation in this respect
II the transfer of the capital, however.
leads to the betterment Of Tamatave in its
sanitary and commercial aspects the change
may be advantageous. NJ Locamus, in
a speech at Bordeaux a while ago, said that
the harbor Of Tamatave offered little pro-
lection to shipping, and that n number Of
vessels were always driven upon the rocks
whenever a cyclone prevails.
As France expects largely 10 increase
the commerce of the country she will un-
doubtedly endeaYor 10 provide better
protection Tor sea commerce carriers. The
Introduction also Of methods Of modern
sanitation will greatly improve the health
conditions.
The reasons given for transferring the
capital are that Tamatave is more con-
veniently situated for communications with
France and also that the change will be
helpful 10 the development of the region
between Tamatave and Antananarivo. This
region is naturally the richest and most
populous of the island.
II is expected that the railroad now
building between Tamatave and Antanan-
arivo will give great development to the
country between two cities where
considerable number Of French colonists
are already settled
France Is improving the condition Of
Madagascar wholly in her own interest
Her commerce with the island is rapidly
increasing, while that Of other countries Is
diminishing.
The imports from France increased from
81 10000 in 1899 60 81, ,4OO.O .OO1 in 1897. " hen
the French imports were 81 per cent. Of
the total; in other words most of the inn
ports 10 the islands in 1896 were from other
countries than France, while in 1899 nearly
all OF them were from France.
That country is "A thorough believer m

PROHIBITION SET AT NAUGHT.
whiskey squadrons Cruising the Mississippi
to the Joy OF the Thirsty.

NEW ORLEANS, March l--Prohibitionists
in Mississippi are disturbed by a new trouble
They have established prohibition in sixty
four Of the seventy-fve counties of the
State and have driven the blind tigers
out Of business. After securing all these
triumphs they have encountered a new
nuisance. which seems TO defy them,
There have always been floating bar
rooms on the Mississippi. but they were
never before SO numerous and active as
at present: and they are literally wiping
out prohibition in all the river counties
Probably because OF the long years of
enforced temperance, the people living
along the Mississippi seem 10 have be-
come unusually thirsty and take to liquor
with a zeal which indicates that they want
to make up for lost time. The route Of the
whiskey fotlla is marked by an outbreak
Of jags such has not been known in
Mississippi for many day.
The whisl<ey squadron passed Friar's
Point the other day, and the scene is said
to have been most extraordinary. That
particular squadron-there are several
squadrons on the river-consisted of three
large barges and a floating distillery which
manufactured the whskey for local dis
tribution.
Each barge was barroom, where liquor
could be bought either by the drink or by
the lug The squadron anchored of Friars
Point, in the middle of the river. just beyond
the water boundary of Mississippi
The "Admirals." AZ the commanders Of
the feet are called hung out their nags,
which announced that they were ready
to serve their customers. They must
have given advance notice of their coming,
for many of the people in the interior had
heard Of il and drove over To the river
them TO punish John Bareycorn"
The floating saloons did a land-office
business for several days All day long, skifis
shot out from the bank loaded with pas
sengers, who spent large part OF the day
visiting he -Admirals,r and ran inshore at
night. having laid in a supply OF several
kegs for future Use. some oil Inc people
who supplied themselves with rations
are said TO have ira Yelled twenty miles
or more from the interior.
The result of the passing OF the whiskey
squadron was an amount or drunkenness
in Friar's Point such a. had not been seen
for many days. 1t was the accumulated
intoxcation of the whole year.
The temperance people were unable 10
do anything, and the local officers were
equally powerless. An Investigation was
made. but /, was found that the "Admirals'
were beyond the reach of the state law.
They operate from Memphis. They pay
only a Federal license of s25 and, floating
as they do In the middle of the Mississippi,
they are beyond the jurisdiction of the
State The Prohibitionists are aroused
to the importance Of this invasion. and
to the fact that the law against the sale
of liquor in the river counties IL a dead
letter unless the "Admirals" and their
whiskey squadron can be reached. They
will try 20 find some way of breaking up

TWO MEN UNDER AN UMBRELLA.

While waiting for the Prince.

Two men stood under one umbrella the

he got an unexpected LIT from an unex-
pected quarter? He had lost every dollar.

the young man made an extra exertlon TO
accommodate him; this enabled the Gus
toner To make a connection which netted
him $4,000.
a month after the incident he met the
young man again. do not know how long
he had been carrying his intention of re-
warding the young man, but the end Of the
story is that he took the young man from
