NIGHT SIGNALS AT SEA.
Electric system For Flashing Letters
Of the Code From Liners.

Arrangements have been completed
recently by which the steamship
Deutschland Of the Hamburg American
line, when next she sails from New
York, will be equipped with a system
of electric light signals which, II Is said,
will show any letter or number so visi-
bly, that it can be seen for five or six
miles at sea. says the New York Her.
aid. The inventors assert that not only
does ii offer better signal facilities than
the flare light and lantern system now
In use, but that it also records every
signal which is transmitted
The system is an expansion Of the
electric carriage signals now in use at
the Metropolitan Opera House, in New
York, and, like its predecessor, is the
invention of Mortimer Norden, an cleo
trical engineer of New York. The sig
nal boards will be placed on each side
of the grillroom roof of the Deutsch-
land, and the letters and figures will be
ten feet high. 1t is asserted that with
the aid of night glass the signals will
be visible for nearly seven miles.
The signal system will be composed
Of four boards on each side of the ship.
On each bo,e-d will be monogram of
electric lights, SO placed that every let
ter in the alphabet and every numeral
can be formed from them. The differ
ent monograms are operated by indi-
vidual switches, fitted with space be-
tween the contact points sufficient In
size to admit pasteboard card. These
cards are perforated with holes, as the
occasion may require, so that only such
points of contact are brought together
when the switch is opened as will be
needed to light the bulbs required in
forming letter.
The cards are so made that they will
only fit the slot for which they are in
tended. When signal is sent, the
cards may be placed in an envelope and
filed away. On the envelope are in
scribed latitude longitude, time and the
senders name. This renders a com
plete and practically unalterable record
of every message.

and J. =. Dolliver, now senator from
Iowa, introduced novel sort of stump
debate. They held joint discussions in
various parts Of the country on the
political issues of the day.
Soon after Clark and Dolliver con-
cluded their series of joint discussions
Clark ventured to try conclusions with
that fierce old parliamentary gladiator,
Charles II. GrosvenOr. West Virginia
was the scene, and those debates were
worth going miles to hear. There was
no oratory. 1t was knock down and
drag out If Clark was turned out of
Alexander Campbelrs college, classical
ly educated for the ministry, Grosvenor
had read and seen more American poll
tics than he. Neither asked nor gave
quarter. They are always entertain
ing. No dull speech falls from the lips
of either. Both are strong partisans.
1t was famous debate.
No one who meets the honorable con-
gresham from the Ninth Missouri
would doubt that Champ Clark came
from a part of the country as vigorous
as himself. His broad face, stout body,
keen gray eyes and restful manner mark
him from the west He is tall and big
of frame. He walks with a swing and
usually has his pockets bulging with
papers.
While Mr.. Clark has lived nearly all
his life in Pike county, Mo-, ne was
born in Kentucky fifty-two years ago.
During his career he has worked as
farm hand, clerked in country store,
edited a country newspaper and prac'
ticed law. At one time he was presl-
dent of Marshall college, West Virginia
Mr.. Clark married Miss Genevieve Ben
nett. They have had four children, two
of whom are still living.
Should the fates ordain that Champ
Clark be chosen leader of his party In
the house the Democracy will be ably
led. He is quick, forceful and able,
and what he doesn't know about par
iamentary usage as it obtains in the
house of representatives isn't worth
mentioning Besides, he is skilled IN
statecraft and quick to see the weak
points of his opponents. They will have
to get up early in the morning to gain
point on Champ Clark.

wife their added rank is welcomed by
hundreds of friends not only in Wash

one of the choicest social centers of the

DEVELOPING CUBA.
HOW ITS FERTILE WIlOsRNeSsEs ARE
TO BE RECLAIMED.
New Rnilrond Now Building VIII
Open Country Rich In Mineral
and Agricultural PossibiIities-sir

ana Agricultural Possibilities-Sir
William Van Horne's Great Project.
For some months force of 5000 to
5000 workmen has been laboring In
Cuba building a railroad that promises
much for the future development of
that fertile isle.
During the four centuries of Spanish
control but small percentage of Gu.
ba's 2S,000,000 acres of fertile soil was
brought under cultivation. Spain's pol
icy repressed rather than stimulated
the development of the island
The key to that development and to
consequent prosperity lies in the rail-
road, soon to be completed, which will
transform nearly one half of the island
from the wilderness which 1t is today
into highly productive fields and farms
and orchards.
Eastward of q line which would bi.
sect the island at the city of Santa Cla-
ra there lie the two great provinces OF
Puerto Principe and Santiago and about
one-third of the province of Santa Cla-
ra. Throughout this area, which in
cludes much of the richest land in Gu
ba, railway facilities have been but
nominal and good highways practically
unknown.
This is the wilderness which is to be
turned into a garden spot by the rail
road now being built by Sir William
Van Horne, president of the Canadian
Pacific railroad. and his associates. The
company has already spent nearly S10,-
00,000 in its operations. 1t commenced
operations by buying strip of land
approximating 450 miles in length and
about ninety feet wide
permitted only the construction of pri-
vate railroad lines. Hundreds of such
are in operation on sugar estates. The
Cuba company, as his organization is
called, obtained q charter in this coun-
try and proceeded TO build in Cuba a
private road on lands that it had pur-
chased. This was the beginning of the
road which promises so much for Cuba
and incidentally to the stockholders of
the company.
Its western terminus for the present
is the city of Santa Clara. Running
eastward, it taps by short branch lines
the cities of Placetas and Sancti Spir-
titus. 1t crosses the Jucaro and San
