Transmitting Photos.

CReprinted by Permission from Golfers
Weekly.)
Many attempts have been made TO
invent some apparatus adapted TO the
transmission of photographs hand
writing, etc, over long distances by
means of the electric current A really
successful device appears to have been
perfected by Professor KOrn OF
Munich. The sending device is on the
principle. which has been known for
some time, of the oscillations in cleo
tric currents due to the variation in
the intensity OF light falling on a
selenium cell. If a Photographic
negative has a ray of light falling
upon it from above, and selenium
cell resting below il, then when the
negative is moved we have changes in
the electric current due to the differ
ences in the amount OF light passing
through the negative The difficulty
has been to find a receiver which
would reconvert the electric oscilla-
tions into changes in light intensity.
This is the problem that Professor
Korn has solved He observed that
the luminous radiations from the cleo
trodes in a tube exhausted to pres
sure of 2 to NM OF mercury were
very sensitive to variations in the cir
cult. By an ingenious mechanical con-
trivance he was able to make these
rays act upon a phOtographically SEN
sitive film, producing a picture OF the
variations in the electric circuit. When
this tube is connected with the selen-
ium cell of the transmitter, in such a
way that slight variations in its cur
rent affect the amount Of electricity
in the circuit OF the receiver, an ac-
curate reproduction Of the light re-
ceived is given by the light emitted.
This apparatus has already given
satisfactory reproductions Of hand
writing and photographs.

Chicdgo'S Snb5cayS.

Seven million dollars has already
been spent in the construction of the
tunnel and the establishment of the
freight railway system in Chicago. 1t
has been an easy matter to obtain all
the cash required for the construction
by the Illinois Tunnel Company of
$50, 900, 600 corporation, half in stock
and half in bonds. At present three
electric locomotives and twenty-four
freight cars are running. The Illinois
Tunnel Company the owner of the
project, has let the contract for 5000
steel cars and 100 electric To-
comotives. The cars will be en-
ployed in hauling every kind of
freight, including coal and gen.
eral merchandise. The electric 10
comotives have a capacity of fifty tons
each on the level and 100 tons on the
inclines, which are TO be used in con-
Meeting the railroad yards and build
ings with the tunnels. The cars will
each hold twenty-five barrels of sugar,
-four or general merchandise, or seven
tons of coal
One of the most valued services of
the underground freight railway will
be in relieving the cramped condition
Of the Chicago railway terminals.
Forty per cent of the total railway
mileage of the United States has ter
minals in downtown Chicago. Thirty
eight railroads and railroad systems
have terminals here and these thirty
eight are compelled to receive and de-
liver freight from a mere half-dozen
freight depots. More than $50, 900. 900
annually is now spent in trucking
freight across Chicago from freight
terminals to warehouses and stores

ButterfIy'S Instinct.

The extraordinary gifts Of the butter
fly race have always excited the won
der not only Of naturalists. but of the
most ignorant observers Their silent
and unseen changes; the instinct by
which they distinguish their favorite
plant food, as, for instance, even
among the scarcely differing species
of the complex race of asters, where
they show themselves, as Professor
Asa Gray said better botanists than
many of u.s.; their skill in depOsiting
their eggs unerringly on or near the
precise plant on which the forthcoming
caterpillars are fitted to feed, although
they as butterflies have never tasted
it, To these should be added their lux
urious spread of wings, giving oppor-
tunities for those likenesses and varia-
tions of color which protect them dur
ing the few days of their winged state;
the brief time when, if ever, their eggs
must be laid and the continuance of the
race made sure. The whole realm of
animal 'mimicry," as it is now termed,
reaches it's highest point in them, and
leads to some extreme cases; as in the
fact that, while butterflies are ordina-
rily homogeneous. there is yet one spe-
cies in Africa which has departed so
widely from this rule that the male has
not one mate only, but actually three
different wives, each so utterly unlike
him in appearance as to have long been
taken for wholly different species.-T.

i tions and comprises altogether hfty-six pages,
which in subject matter, makeup, paper and printing
compares favoraby with the special editions of many of
the big metropolitan journals of the home country
The paper was started in 1899 a small four-page
daily of shipping and custom-house bulletin than

as general journal speak volumes for the energy
progressive spirit with which the Americans have
undertaken the development of the Philippines. The
old days and methods of the Spanish regime have passed
away, and all things have become That is true
only of the cities and the larger of the islands,
but in a measure of the whole archipelago
In the edition under review there many articles

SdUed.

Before the gateway to the Oakland
ferry at the ferry building a we'll
dressed man, evidently a Filipino, was
excitedly trying to convey to the gate
keeper the history of his life in six
English words, "El Senior Rosario,
am it." but these were hardly suft1-
cient. The gatekeeper, who knew
something of pigeon Spanish, was try
ing to explain that the ''bOata froma
Oakland hada departedo," and Senor
Tomaso c.. del Rosario, whilom Gov
ernor of Bataan and member OF the
Superior Advisory Board Of Public In
struction of the Philippines, was al
most in tears.
At this juncture a prominetn CITIZEN
who had accompanied the Filipino
visitors to their train on the other SIDE
came rushing off the boat and ran up
to the gatekeeper. He said excltedly'
Have you seen an escaped or loose
Fill"
At this juncture Senior Rosario, who
knew the gentleman. gave shout OF
joy and was prevented from huggtng
his rescuer by the united efforts OF
two gatekeepers and one ferry police
man. His joy soon turned to woe
when he learned that his companions
had gone.
Then occurred a conversation OF
great pictorial beauty-the prominent
citizen knowing nothing of Spanish
and the distinguished Filipino visitor
seeing him and going him six bet
ter" However, by the aid of the deaf
and dumb language and paper and
pencil the kind-hearted American was
able to show that by taking the
limited, which he called ''de limitado,"
they would be able to head of the
delegation at Stockton. Together they
boarded the ferry-boat and succeeded
in overtaking the rest of the party,
when the wandering Filomerican was
clasped to the hearts of his beloved
amigos, the thanks of the entire COM
mittee fell upon rescuer like an avail

pany them all over los Estados UnidOs

CANADA'S TARIFF TROUBLES.

%HE recent action of the directors of the Canada
Wooden Mills of the largest in the Dominion
in deciding sell their property and discontinue
business furnishes an object lesson the comparative
condition of the wooden manufacturing industry IN
Canada and the United States The which brought
about their determination will have be faced by every
other woolen mill in the Dominion. and therefore are
worthy of attention by those interested in the
industry in this country.
From consideration of the facts it appears that the
main for the action stated the impossbiy OF
competing longer with cheap British goods under the
present peculiar trade conditions In the matter OF
rey of patterns quality and style of goods the Canadian
mills have nothing fear their competition with the
old country, but the existing tariff preference permits
the later manufacturers place goods in the Canadian
market prices that be One of the curious
factors that makes that possible the demand recently
created for shoddy goods in the manufacture of which
the English mills past The comparatively
nominal cost OF manufacturing shoddy, combined with
the really artistic perfection which has been brought
has made the demand for by certain class in Canada
great that trade conditions have been materially al
tered
The Canadian preferential tariff provides for 23A per
protection only which has been found entirely
inadequate stop the food of the cheap English goods
So after due consideration of the element of cheap raw
material and the difference in the price of labor, the
Canadians giving up the fight.
If we consider that the United States under the Will
of our wooden mills closed their doors. and that cond1-
tions here otherwise much the in Canada
readily the hopelessness of the struggle she
is compelled TO make 1t is the Canadian tariff
wooens from countries other than England per cent
higher but that fact scarcely material since 90 per
of Canadas wooden importatons comes from Eng
land
The comparative conditions may be better understood
when realized that under the Wilson 4o-cen tariff in
1896 manufactures tagnated by importation
of the value of only o. cents per capita, while Canada with
her slight protection of 2s per imports annually $2o
per capita Under the stimulus of the Canadian preferen
tial tariff her wooden imports have increased per
cent in the past five years, which like reduction
the amount manufactured at home Under the present
prosperous condition OF things in the United States with
oo-cent tariff import wooens the value of rs
per capita only.
AS the effect of the tariff conditions existing in Canada
to-day the majority of the people of that country
clothed in English shoddy goods with their home woolen
mills closing their DOORS while "a per of the goods
in the United States domestic purchased at
reasonable price, with manufactures in flourish
ing condition.

Jokdi, Last Patriot.

Jokai was the last of the band Of
Hungarian patriots, among whom were
Kossuth, Petofi and others. Early in
March, 1s4s, Jokai headed that band
of earnest young men who contended
for the freedom of the press. They
were completely successful, and the
first production of a free press in Hun
gary was Petofi's poem, ''Hungarians.
Arisel" which was the first trumpet
blast of the revolution. Joloai read it
from the steps of the printing office
to the assembled multitude, and then
made one of his great speeches. This
was one of the first impulses of the
revolution, out of which arose Louis
Kossuth and Hungarian liberty. 1t
was an awful struggle, which Hungary
waged for two long years with Austria
and Russia, and the vital force of the
nation was almost drained. Kossuth.
Petofi, Jokai and the other heroes fed
for their lives, most of them escapinp
over the sea. Maurus Jokai remained
in his own country. in cancealment he
ing kept alive by food sent secretly bv
his devoted wife. Madame Jokaf. who
was Rosa Laborfalvy. was the best
tragic actress of the time and her name
was famous all over Europe. When
the revolution broke out. the books of
the leaders were issued by the free
press and produced on the stage. In
these and other patriotic plays the first
role was always taken by Rosa Labor
falvy. Her voice. like the sound of a
rich voluminOus organ, drew the spec
tators and held them speIlbound by her

passionate enthusiasm" On that cele-
brated 18th of March, 1S4S, she scored
such a remarkable success that the
Young Magyar party, Of which Jokai
was the leader, sent a deputation 10
express to her the congratulations OF
the people. There on the stage she
received the deputatiOn, and pinned the
national cOckade on the coat Of its
leader. At the close Of the revolution,
during the period Of despotism, Jokai
lived in cOncealment, occupying his
time with his work of sculpture, the
beautiful ivory bust OF his wife dating
from this time. He wrote, also, under
the pseudonym Of 'Iago." Upon the
proclamation Of amnesty by the King.
he resumed his own name, and in 1858.
when the federation between Austria
and Hungary was perfected and liberty
was won. Jokai was elected a member
of the first Parliament He held his
seat in the lower house of this body
for twenty-eight years. In the year
1897, the Emperor, Francis Joseph, ap-
pointed him a member Of the House OF
Lords. Madame JOkai died in 1885, and
from that time the novelist lived in
retirement in his beautiful villa at
Budapest. He appeared but seldom in
public, one Of the dramatic moments in
his later years being his speech at the
funeral of Kossuth. Standing by the
coffin Of his friend. with whom he had
fought for the freedom Of Hungary, he
said: Il am the last OF that band 10

by me will soon be closed and never

The Great ASS0ndH Dam.

Assouan, that seventeen years or so
ago. TO the best of my recollection, was
a village with one inn, where the great
attraction was to see Arabs shoot the
boiling waters of the cataract with a
goat skin for a boat, is now an inter
national health resort, without any
cataract to speak Of.
At least there is none at this season
Of the year, for the dam has
altered all this. BY way or
compensation there are several great
hotels, one of them, The Cataract" a
finely planned building commanding a
beautiful view Of the rocky Nile.
Hither come not tourists only, but
many sick from England and America.
as the dry air and splendid, sunny
winter climate are excellent for various
diseases.
Most people. though they be neither
travellers nor invalids. have heard Of
the Assouan dam and reservoir, and
also Of the Island of Philae, near by,
and its beautiful temples, the ancient
city of Isis" and Holy House" as
il was called by the old Egyptians.

paying two visits, and in view of its
Importance to the future of Egypt, the
information that 1 collected concerning
il may prove of interest. To begin
with, il is frequently and enormously
called a "barraee," which il is not.
The word ''barrage" means a guiding
wall, barrier that does not store
water, but turns it in desired direc-
ton. OF these there are several in
Egypt, but 1 think that the only dam
and reservoir is at Assouan.
The best view of this wonderful work,
which has now been in operation for
about two years, is to be obtained from
the massive granite wall that forms the
dam. This wall is over 200O yards
in length and crosses the Nile from side
10 side. On the crest Of it, that is
twenty-six feet wide, runs a tramway,
along which the visitor, seated on a
rough trolley, is propelled at speed by
Arabs. Hence to the north he sees
a great extent of shining rocks, be-
tween which the water runs in chan
nels. and tc the south vast lake,
that in some places attains depth OF
nearly 200 feet
This is the reservoir, and all the
weight Of II and of the Nile for the
$50 miles or so that it is held up, is

rushing at the rate of 702 tons of
water per second, the amount that, ac-
cording to the calculation of the en-
gineers, it was necessary TO pass that
