ELECTRICITY IN WARFARE.
II Ia Widely Used I'm the Fortincn-
lions Along Our Sea
Coast.

An interesting instance of the rapid
extension of the use of electricity is
furnished by the fortifications distrib-
uted along our coast, says the Scientific
American. A few years ago the electric
light was introduced, to add to the com
fort Of the garrisons and to provide bet
ter illumination CT the works. Once a
generating plant had been installed
there was at hand a supply Of power in
a convenient and easily comfortable
form, and this has led to its use for pur-
poses which were not contemplated at
the time the plant was installed.
Electric fans have been put in to
make the living quarters more comfort
able in hot weather and electric motors
have been adopted for training the guns.
class Of work for which they are par-
ticulariy well adapted Motors are
used to drive the ammunition hoists
and to do other work which before had
either been done by hand or some less
satisfactory power. Searchlights have
been Installed, enabling fertilization
to sweep the sea at night The various
posts of the fortress are connected to-
gether by telephone. so that the com
mandant is in touch at all times with
the entire garrison and can instantly
transmit orders to any point. The vari-
Gus fortiications along the coast are
tied together by telephone and tele-
graph, so that on the appearance of the
enemy at any point all the Notifications
would be informed of it. Submarine
mines are controlled electrically and
even the guns may be fred by this
means by an officer at some distant
point. BY means Of wireless teleera-
ply 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 telautograph may be brought into
service for transmitting orders and
electric signaling lights are replacing
the older types.
Electric lights are used for range
hndtr crosshairs. for lighting the range
hnder stations, and electric clock cir
cults furnish accurate time to all parts
OF the fertilization To insure the con-
tlnuity Of these manifold services ac-
cumulators are now installed, so there
VIII at all times be constant ard re-
liable supply of power. Thus, from be-
ing at first small auxiliary, the cleo
trical equipment has extended until II
is now probably the most important
part of the entire equipment OF the
fortress.

VOLCANO FOR SALE.
Crater Fail of Valuable sulphur
Makes PopocatapetI n De-
sirRbIe Property.

Old Popocatapetl is for sale. You can
have him for s5,O00,00O. Reports have
been current that Johg d. Rockefeller
has considered the purchase Of the
white-capped giant. says the Boston
Transcript. The financiers have their
eyes on the enormous sulphur deposits
In the crater. How many tons of this
crisp material are collected there it is
impossible to tell. The crater is 1,575
feet in diameter and its greatest depth
Is 1900 feet. This great, yawning cavity
is well stocked with sulphur. Some have
estimated the accumulations at ! .000,-
100000 tons. With the ruling price at
$40 ton, an estimate can be made of
the enormous commercial value of the
deposit.
The volcano is the property of Gen.
Casper S Ochoa, of the engineer Csrps
of the Mexican army. Years ago, while
a student in the National Military acad-
envy, his engineering mind was directed
toward that now smobeless chimney Of
the earth He had read how Cortcz de-
tailed a group of his bravest soldiers to
ascend the volcano and bring sulphur
up out of the crater with which to man
ufacture gunpowder, needed for the
continuation OF his war OF conquest
against the Aztecs He had been told
that Humboldt predicted that the great
stores Of sulphur there would yield an
immense fortune to the man who would
transport the yellow deposits to the
markets. Gen. Ochoa rendered such
good service for the independence of his
country during the French invasion
that when he asked for a concession Of
the volcano the Mexican government
gave it to him as reward.
Gen. Ochoa at once set ont to make
scientific investigation of his mountain.
He also started to mine the sulphur.
This industry is still carried on by
means of laborers, who go down in the
crater and shovel sulphur into sacks,
which are carried out on the backs of
burros. This primitive process, con-
tinued year after year, has made the
present owner wealthy An improved
method would be to tunnel through the
rim of the crater, bring the sulphur out
in cars and transport 1t down the long
slope over a cog-wheel railroad. The
estimated cost of this modern equip
ment is SS000 600 When this or some
other similar modern system is once in
operation thd world will look to Popo-
catapetl for large portion Of its sup
ply Of sulphur, instead of to Mount
Aetna, in Sicily. from which nearly all
the sulphur now on the market comes

WHISTLE A MERRY TUNE.
That Is the Advice OF Medical Au-
thOrity to All Sufferers from
Indigestion.

When the throes OF indigestion ana
the qualms of dyspepsia are making
your life miserable, just purse the
lips and whistle brisk, merry tune
This is novel advice contained IN
Medical Talk
Not a muffled, doleful, half-hearted
whistle, but a whistle SO deep and
voluminous that the whole house will
be filled with the sound.
Don't be afraid somebody win hear
you. Let them hear you. 1t will do
them good, 1t will enliven and cheer
them while 1t cures you.
There is something about good,
well-rounded whistle that sets the
digestive apparatus to work in more
natural, wholesome manner than all
the pepsin tablets and digestive pills
on the market.
Indigestion and dyspepsia always
make one feel gloomy and depressed
and morbid and blue. Everything
seems to go wrong. and doubtless you
won't feel one bit like whistling. But
no matter. whistle anyhow.
II possible, so out in the fresh air
anu 40 your WhlStilng. III you can't
go outdoors, Just open the window
wide and whistle with all your might.
Any old tune will do, so you put life
and vigor into It.
Whistle, whistle, whistle. Keep it
going. Don't get tired. Go on witS
all your might Harder, harder
The first thing yon know the stom-
ach will have righted itself, the liver
will be working good and strong, the
blood will be bounding through your
veins, your brain viii be clear and Wig
-orous, and you will feel 20 years
younger. All because you have whis-
tied away the indigestion, the dyspep-
STA and the blues
Whistling is one Of the best ton
les In the world. 1t is far better to
whistle away all your petty ailments
