Army to Have Own wireless.

Washington, d. c., June SIT has
been decided that the army signal
corps is to develop it's own wireless
telegraph system. There is an increas.
ing call for this method of communica
tion at the coast artillery forts, and
it is found that the installation of such
a complete system as that in the south.
ern New York district would repre-
sent great cost, for which the signal
corps, charged with the work of equip.
ment, does not possess the funds. The
experts of the corps in Washington
have decided to experiment with new
system, buying the material in the op.
en- market and assembling the parts,
to the end that they may have a means
of wireless communication which shall
answer the purpose of the coast artil-
lery, where it is used in sending mes.
sages between the target boats and
the shore during the firing of the
heavy guns. The system is found to
be of great value in that respect, and
the signal corps people believe they
can get up system which will be as
efficient as the best of the commercial
systems, which cost so much money.
If the corp electricians are successful,
this will mean substantial loss of
prospective business to the wireless
telegraph companies, which realized
that wireless was to be extensively
used along the coast in artillery com.

VIII Try It on Human Beings

Chicago, June s.-Dr. Alexis Carrel
and DR.. G. @. Guthrie, who have for
more than one year conducted a series
of important experiments at the Hull
Physiological laboratory connected
with the University of Chicago. is is
believed that these experiments have
demonstrated the possibility of substi.
tuting veins for arteries and changing
the whole circulation of the human
body.
Diseases that have hitherto been in,
durable and others that have in gen.
eral been fatal in large majority of
cases, it is believed, may be cured by
the reversal of the circulation of the
blood. The experiments have, so far,
been conducted, on dogs, but they have
now reached a stage where it is
thought that the same tests may safely
be tried on human beings The dis
coverers of this new methods are con.
fdent of success and believe that it
will revolutionize surgery.

Sacramento, Cal, June S.-After
weeks of haranguing and jockeying,
and enduring one signal defeat, consti.
tutional amendment No. 2, giving pow
er for two years to the San Francisco
board of supervisors relative to streets,
parks, boulevards, reservoirs and lands
now owned, or hereafter acquired by
the city for the purpose of carrying out
the Burnham plan for the Identification
of the city, by widening certain
streets, was reported favorably with
IL amendments to the assembly this
morning by the committee on constitu-
tional amendments. The majority of
the amendments are merely changes in
verbiage. The report was adopted, and
the measure was made the special order
for tomorrow morning.
The committee, needing the demand
for limitation of the powers of the
board of supervisors, completely wiped
out the clause giving the board the
power to extend or restrict the public
service franchises covering wires,
railways and conduits, and inserted an.
other which restricts the powers to
change or extend public service lines
to only such streets as will be widened
or extended.

SPEED
CONTEST

Boston. Mass, June s.-Scores OF
the most expert manipulators of the
Telegraph key have come to this city
from all parts of the United States
to take part in an interesting speed
contest, which will be held here today
at fremont Temple, under the auspices
of the Telegraphers' Tournament asso-
citation of New England. The contest
is not limited to New England teleg'
naphers, but is open to operators from
any country and among those who in
tend to take part in the competition
are many of the speediest telegraph
ers from Canada and Mexico.
The tournament has been arranged
by the New England telegraphers to
endow free hospital bed. Life insur-
ance elassifcations show that with one
single exception the mortality is great
est among telegraphers and that more
telegraphers die from consumption
than in any other profession.
As an incentive Andrew Carnegie
has donated a handsome international
trophy. 1t is solid silver cup, 231a
inches high, with base, and is symbolic
of the telegaaphers' profession. This
cup stands for the championship of the
world, and will be decided not alone
An fosf capdip.e, or foe+ raoa;,,;no b,4
upon the greatest number of points
won in all classes, accuracy and speed
to count. Besides this trophy Clarence
H. Mackay, president of the Postal
Telegraph company, has donated four
handsome cups as first and second
prizes in team match.
The last previous contest of that
kind ever held in New England, was
held in Chickering hall in 1898. AS at
that tournament, the work will be di-
vided into three principal classes, press
work, ordinary kilograms and stock
quotations. One of the most interest
ing contests win be the team contest.
Nothing of that sort has ever been at
tempted here before. The men entered
FOR that contest will work in pairs,
md the only test will be the amount
If work that each team can accomplish
n a given time. No particular atten-
ion will be paid in this case to the
accuracy and rythm of the sender, but,
# course, correctness is required.
Among the experts who are here to
AXE part in the tournament are some
# the best known experts in the coun-
ry, like w. NJ. Gibson, the present
hampton of the world, McClintock,
Williams, Emanuel, Faulkner, ana
many others.
