ELECTRICITY IN WARFARE.
1t Is Widely Used In the F~ortifcations
Along the Coast.

An interesting instance of the rapid
extension Of the use of electricity is
furnished by the Notifications distrib-
uted along our coast. A few years.
ago the electric light was introduced,
to add to the comfort of the garrisons
and to provide better illumination of
the works. Once a generating plant
had been installed there was at hand
a supply of power in n convenient
and easily controllable form, and this
led to its use for purposes which were
not contemplated at the time the plant
was installed. Electric fans have been
put in to make the living quarters
more comfortable in hot weather, and
electric motors have been adopted for
training the guns a class of work for
which they are particularly well adapt
ed. Motors are used to drive the am
munition hoists and TO do other work
which before had either been done by
hand or some less satisfactory power.
~Searchlights have been installed, IN
aiding n fertilization to sweep h sea
! at night. The various posts Of the
| fortress are connected together by tel
ephone, S that the commandant Is In
| touch at all times with the entire gar
| rison, and can instantly transmit or
ders to any point. The various fortih-
cations along the coast are tied to-
gether by telephone and telegraph, so
that on the appearance of the enemy
mt any point all the Notifications
would be informed Of It. Submarine
mines are controlled electrically, and
ever the guns may be fired by this
means by an officer at some distant
point. BY means Of wireless telegra-
phy a fertilization can be kept in touch
with the scouting vessels, and would
be Informed of the approach of the
enemy long before he Is visible from
the coast. The t~elautograph may be
brought into service for transmitting
orders. and electric signaling lights
are replacing the older types. Electric
lights are used for rangefinder cross
hairs. for lighting the rangefinder sta
tlon. and electric clock circuits fur
nish accurate time to all parts Of the
fertilization. To insure the continuity
Of these manifold services accumula-
tors are now installed, so there will

CANVAS IS BEGUN FOR TIE PAVEMENT Selma Will Make Crusade
 Against Hop Ale SAID TO BE INTOXICATING A Negro Is Arrested for Selling It, and Test Case Will Be
 Made of the
 Matter.
SAID TO BE INTOXICATING

Selma, June 15.-(Speeial. 1.-The Com mercial and Industrial a4s sbciation of Selma has begun a crusade for paved streets in Selma and better and more
 lasting roads in Dallas county. For the
 former work was actively started this af-
 ternoon when a committee from the as- sociation started out among the property
 owners along Broad and Water streets to get their consent to have their prop erty taxed to pay for the paving Last night at the semi-monthly meeting a rep resentative of a Nashville concern was
 present and gave the association the figures and facts as to the cost and main- tainenee of the paving. IL was stated that for about $300 assessed against each property owner who holds thirty-foot front on the streets a pavement of ap- proved tar macadam could be secured. The payments would be secured by tax ation on the property and would be pay able in possibly ten annual installments.
 As to good roads Mayor Atkins and president of the council Peacock who went to St. Louis as delegates represent ing the Commercial and Industrial asso- ciation and the city made their reports last night and it was determined to hold a special meeting on Monday night next to which the probate judge and county should be invited and the question of lasting roads taken up Dallas has greatly improved her roads lately but there has not been used any material such as stone or other macadam and the purpose of the meeting is to point out the necessity for having permanent roads.

After Beer Substitute Sellers.

Mayor Atkins is determined to put a stop, one way or the other to the selling Of hope ale, which Is alleged to be a non-intoxicating drink. The police de- partment has had considerable trouble of late from fights and dsorderiy conduct cases around places where hope ale was sold.
 Walter Maxey, negro running a res- taurant at the foot of Broad street, was arrested yesterday afternoon for the pur- pose Of making a test case. The warrant charged him with selling without license malt liquors. Witnesses were put on the stand who swore that they had partaken or the hop ale and that the affect had been similar to that when they had par taken of beer. Other witnesses those who sell the beverage, exhibited cerif- cates from the internal revenue depart ment declaring the stuff to be non-intoxi- eating and declaring that a revenue li- cense was not necessary for it's legal sale.
 Mayor Atkins adjudged the defendant guilty and fined him the nominal sum of 50 and fixed the appeal bond at only $oO In the meantime the ordinance com
 mittee of the city council has been called
 to meet and will take the matter up. It IS probable that license of $1O0 will be required for the sale of the ale This
 license is the same as that required for beer.
 The police declare that the places where
 the ale Is sold on Sundays are exceed ingly popular and that frequently hacks drive up and take away a dozen of the bottles supposed to be labeled hop ale.
 There is also strong suspicion in the
 minds of the authorities that labels are exchanged on the bottles and regular beer fA,N 4... without label but containing nureIv beer is sold, the supposition being that the labels were washed off in the refrIger- ator.
 Mayor Atkins says the sale of the stuff must stop and some way will likely
 be found to put a stop to 1t or to proper ly regulate it.
