MARCONI SYSTEM ON TRAINS
Inventor Tells of It's Value Pre-
venting Railroad Collisions.

"I have been working on this prob
lem of applying my system to the pre-
vention of railroad collisions for some
time" Marconi said recently to a rep
resentative of Leslee's Weekly. In
deed, we are already pushing forward
the work of equipping the railroads In
Belgium with my devices for just this
purpose.
"You know" he went on, 'that be-
fore we had made certain advances in
tuning messages it was useless to try
to apply the apparatus to railroad
trains. because it is not only necessary
to send different tuned warnings be-
tween trains running in opposite d1rec-
tons, but it is also necessary to have
an apparatus which will work only for
very short distances and no farther,
say half mile. But now l have reach
ed the point where these difficulties no
longer exist, and it is quite possible
to equip all trains in such a manner
that the engineer may be warned, ell
Their by bell right at his ear or dial
or light in front of his face, whenever
he approaches within half mile OF an
other train. Indeed, we can just as
we'll have an apparatus which will OPP
crate directly on the engines lever and
air brakes, slowing the train down
slightly at half miles distance and
very positively when two trains come
into dangerous proximity
Then followed his detailed plans
"For example" he said, suppose we
were to put a transmitter on every
train, in the engineers cab for con-
venience, since the aerial wire or other
form of outside receiving apparatus
could be placed just outside and the
earth connection made through the
wheels of the engine and the rails.
A few battery cells placed under the
seat and clocklike attachment for
keeping the transmitter in operation
constantly when the train was in mo-
ton would be all the apparatus neces-
sary in addition to the sparkling coil
and local circuit"

he is an exception to the rule and that

Another statement that was un-
pleasant to a large PROPORTION of his
hearers was: II tell you you love the
negro according to the square distance

south believe in the equality of man,
provided he Is white, but that they
don't believe the colored man is their
equal, land you can't make US believe

said, is worse than it was in '61. "You

That was another wormpill to many.

said, there was not an instance OF a

foment the racial feeling and preju-
dice" Only one of those who have
commenced to argue the matter in the
daily papers take Mr. Tillman's side,
and all the others try to rip him to
to pieces for his temerity.
Mr.. Tillman did not kick, however
he got his little $3.50 for his speech,
and he lam bastcd the Puritans to his
hearts content, and in their own baili-

TOMB OF CECIL RHODES.
Empire Builder Selected a Grave

Although to many the death of Cecil
Rhodes came with something of a
shock, he himself had long been aware
of the precarious condition Of his
health, and he had made all the ar
rangements for his death, having spe-
cially selected his tomb, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. When
during a recent meeting of the Char
tered company shareholders in London
he said, "My only wish is to live as
long as most Of the heroes of DID, he
was in a far more serious condition
than was supposed. Although when he
first went to Natal he was given three
months to live, he recovered from the

years from heart disease. The nervous
strain of his life compelled him to the
consumption of enormous quantities OF
alcohol. For weeks he would live on
his farm at Umtali with the sole COM

THAT COSTLY WAR.
Nearly a Billion Dollars Have
Been Spent by England i'm
Effort to Subdue Beers.

The Boer war into which Greab Brit
ain entered with such cheerfulness
and alacrity and with the expectation
that it would be finished up in four
months has proved one of the most ex-
/ pensive in which that empire has ever
been engaged. Mr.. Brodrick, war Sec
rotary, in his speech the other day in
the house of commons, admitted "a
war has never before been waged on
such a scale as the South African"
and with this statement for his iasti-
fication introduced army estimates of
$346, $4,000.
When three years ago the British
government entered upon this war it
not only fixed limit of four months
for wiping out the Dutch republics but
was confident ~, 900 men would be am
Pile for the work, and that the whole
outlay would not be over $40, 000, 900.
But "the best laid schemes o mice and
men gang aft a-glee." The war is
now in its third year. Instead of Al
900 men Mr.. Brodrick says "the war
Office today is feeding 300, 900 men and
243.000 horses in South Africa" In
stead of S49, 900, 900 parliment has APP
propriated altogether for this war
S704, 948,300. A large part OF the esti-
mate for the current year must go to
the same purpose. 1t is estimated
that at the close of the fiscal year, on
March 81, the cost of the war reached
1914 100000. 1t will not be surprising
if it runs up to round 5000, 100000 be-
fore the war is finished.
The cost in life and in suffering has
been still more extraordinary. The
Boer loss is not accurately known. |
The total loss to the British in killed !
and wounded has been 100, 701 men and !
5,240 officers.
