PLANS NEW SCHOOLS.
Gen. william Booth Talks of Inter-
national University for Training
of Rescuers of Humanity.

A plan for the establishment of an
international university for the de-
velopment of trained rescuers of hui
mainly was announced by Gen. Will
liam Booth, of the Salvation Army,
at meeting in the Academy of Mu-
sic at New York. ga university of
the science of humanity" he said,
where men and women can be
trained to reclaim depraved women,
criminals and drunkards--that's what
L want now. I mean a great institu-
ton with it's main blishments in
London and New York, correlated
with branches in Melbourne, Toronto,
Berlin and Paris, from which thou
sands of Salvation Army workers
shall be sent to the submerged
masses each year, skilled in every
known method of rescuing human
beings from the underworld of de-
spair."

FINDS PNEUMONIC SERUM.
italian Physician Said to Have Dis
covered a Specific for the
Dread Disease.

Prof Guido Tizzoni, of the Bologna
university, has discovered a serum
which is said to render pneumonia
comparatively harmless, depriving it
of it's dangerous character. Expert
ments on strictly scientific lines
prove it one of the most important
medical discoveries of recent years
and one likely to lower materially
the death rate in all countries.
Prof. Tizzoni had already discov-
cred the curative serum of tetanus, or
lockjaw.
He was born in Pisa in 1853, took
his M. d. at Naples university, stud
led under the great German patholo-
gists Schron and Virchow and was
appointed to the chair of pathology
at Catania, whence in 1880 he went
in the same capacity to Bologna.
Tzzoni is also an ardent politician
and a member of the Italian chamber
of deputies.

NEW PLAN TO RUN CARS.
An English Inventor Applies the
Wireless Theory to Motors and
Claims Success.

Thomas HI. Williams, civil en-
gineer of London, already known for
several electrical inventions, claims
he preceded Braun, of Strausburg, in
applying etheric waves to driving mo-
tors unconnected with any source of
supply; in other words, propelling
motors by wireless telegraphy.
Mr.. Williams says he has been
working on the invention since 1898.
He says:
"My system, as tested, consisted of
high frequency alternating electric
generator from which energy is dis
charged into space.
"There is no connection whatever
between the motor and the genera
tor. The motor is attached to a
model car, which is arranged to run
on a circular railway, the transmit
ter being in the center. One termin-
ator of this generator is attached to
the transmitter and the other is con-
nected with the earth.
'The model car is provided with q
collector, by means of which the
etheric waves, or rays, are picked up.
This collector is connected with the
motor through the medium of spe-
cially devised transformer, whereby
the etheric energy is transformed in
to essential electro-motive force for
operating the motor, the earth circuit
being completed through the rails
and the wheels of the model car"
Mr.. Williams expects to apply his
system to railways as well as to
road-motor traffic from central gen
Grating stations, but he is. not yet
wholly satisfied that danger might
not result from an atmosphere so
heavily charged with electricity.

PLANS NEW BATTLESHIPS.
The German Naval Authorities Take
the United States Vessels
for Models.

The German navy's new design
for battleships is generally similar
to that of the Alabama, of the United
States navy. 1t abandons turrets fol-
small guns. The vessels will be about
24,5OO tons, or 1900 tons heavier than
the battleships of the ''M' group now
building. The details of their arma
ment are not disclosed, except that
the main batteries will consist OF
four 12-inch guns and that they will
mount numerous 7.46-inch guns.
The first of this type of warship
which is called the IN" group, will
be laid down as soon as the nava
budget is passed, probably in April
The budget authorizes the construc
ton of two battleships, one of which
will be the fifth of the IN" group
consisting of seven ships.

VERY SAD, SAD SCENE
Little Child Chokes to Death While
Her Classmates Pray
Brooklyn Sunday School Is Turn ed
into q Memorial Service for Child.
Who Gets a WhistIing Bal
loon in Her Throat.

A remarkable scene was enacted in
Ahe Sunday school of the Ainslee Street
Presbyterian church, in the Williams
burg section of Brooklyn. A short
time before Emma Rausch, nine years
old, left home for Sunday school. On
the way she bought penny whistlin g
balloon. This she took into her class,
and while initiating it for the amuse-
ment of her mates, the wooden mouth
piece slipped into her throat. She
gasped, and pain and fear showed in
her eyes. The children became
alarmed, and their EXPLANATIONS of
fright attracted the attention of
Charles Follert, superintendent of the
Sunday school. He called to trustee
of the church and they worked to extri-
cate the toy from the throat of the
fast choking child. Not until she be-
came unconscious was it believed that
her condition was critical. Physicians
were hastily summoned, but could not
extract the toy. When they announced
that death was near, Rev. r. S. Dawson
raised his hand and asked that all kneel
and pray. Then he prayed aloud and
fervently for the soul that was passing
before their eyes,
The child's parents, who had been
sent for, entered as the clergyman was
about to begin his prayer. The mean
ing was clear to them, and they knelt
sobbing beside their child. And
on the wings of the prayer of
their playmates and friends the child's
soul was borne away to it's Maker.
Tenderly the body was carried into an
adjoining room, and DR.. Dawson led
the awestricken congregation in me-
mortal service in place of the regular
Sunday school exercises.

NEW CAR-LIGHTING SYSTEM.
Device Tested on New York Central
for Generating Electricity
from Car AxIes.

Representatives from many rail
roads have witnessed a successful
demonstration of a device for light
ing railroad cars with electricity. The
invention was tested on a run over
the New York Central to Croton and
return, and the system will shortly
be adopted.
The light is generated by a dy-
namo operated by a belt connected
with the axle of the car. When the
train stops the lights are supplied
from storage batteries in the car. A
speed of only IL miles an hour is
needed to generate sufficient cleo
tricity to light the lamps. The sur
plus obtained at a higher rate OF
sped is used to recharge the bat
teries.
The car used in the test was
equipped with % lamps of 16-candle
power each. During the trip 46 stops
were made and no appreciable differ
ence was noticed in the brilliancy OF
the lights.

MORGAN BUILDS LIBRARY.

Mansion Will Sh heller Valuable
Books and Manuscripts.

Many workmen are completing the
foundations for j. Pierpont Morgan's
new library building at the rear of
his home at Madison avenue and East
Thirty-sixth street, New York City.
1t is to cost 100000. The plans are
for a two-story structure of Knox
vile marble of pinkish gray with
a frontage of 1852 feet on Thirty
sixth street and lawn space in front.
1t is to be in the shape of a 7, the
central section to be 1875 feet in
depth. The two wings are to be
about 40 feet each. There is to be a
main hall with the book shelves
along the wall, and several Mezzanine
floors that are not to extend the
length of the building or the wings,
but are to afford room for reading in
alcoves. The plans call for build
ing as fireproof as can be, as thou
sands of books and manuscript are to
be stored,

Test for Flying Machines,

Nice has the only ''aerodrome,'' or
place where flying machines can ma
neuver, in the world. 1t consists of
a steel truss 60 feet high, across the
top of which is laid another steel
truss, more than 90 feet long, exact
ly balanced and moving on pivots. A
flying machine can be suspended to
one arm and counterbalanced by a
weight on the other and then can
maneuver freely and without danger.
Capt. Ferber has erected this aero
drome not merely for his own ex-
periments with flying machines, but
to allow the use of it to any invent
or who may want to test an air
ship.
