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

Thomas II. Williams, a 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.
1.-THE model car is provided with
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-m olive 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.

BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY.
u.tim.tes for the Next Years Ex-
penses Placed At the Enormous
Sum Of 90, OOO, 900 Pounds.

Mr.. Brodrick wants 6 34,5OO,000
sterling for the army next year. Lord
Selborne requires the same amount
for the navy. The army estimates,
says the New York Tribune's London
representative, have never been APP
preached except in time of war, and
navy estimates, which exceed the cur
rent years figures by f3,5oo,00o ster-
ling, have broken all records. JOHN
Bright once said that government
which could not rule the United King
dom on G7O,0OO,O0O sterling year
should be turned out of office. The
army and navy alone will cost almost
this sum for the ensuing IL months,
and the total national expenditure
will reach G150,0OO,O00 sterling. The
outlook for the British taxpayer is
gloomier than ever.

was sIrong enough TO resist any at
tempt OF the Indians to capture it.
Happily. there never arose an occa-
sion to use the fort for warlike pur-
poses, and 1t became but trading
post, says George ii. Daniels Four
Track News.
There was signed here, in 1881, the
treaty by which the Sac and Fox In
dams agreed to remove to the Iowa
side of the river and leave the vii
lage on the banks of Rock river,
which they had occupied so long. The
fort was 400 feet square, and having
access to water, and carrying a large
supply OF food, was equipped for
long siege.
There now remains nothing of it.
Two cannon pointing down the river
have been the only things to mark
the spot where it stood till two
years ago, when the Daughters OF
the American Revolution erected q
monument there.

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

Prof Guido Tizzoni, Of the Bologna
university, has discovered n serum
which is said to render pneumonia
comparatively harmless, depriving it
Of its 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 NJ. ID. 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.
Tizzoni is also on ardent politician
and member of the Italian chamber
Of deputies.
