A NEW HEATER.
Adaptation of the Incandescent Man
tel to the Heating APP
paratus.

The invention of the Welsbach man
tie marked distinct advance in meth
DDS of gas-lighting. 1t is now common.
and its advantages and disadvantages
are familiar to most users. We are now
told that the incandescent mantle may
be applied also to heating-apparatus.
j. Laffargue in an article on Radio
incandescent Crates" in La Nature ex-
plains the process as follows:
"The incandescent mantle has hith-
erto been used only for lighting pur-
poses. Mr.. Delage, chemical engi-
necr, has devised a new mantle, made
of radio-incandescent substances, hav-
ing pronounced calorific qualities,
which can not fail to be useful in do
nestle heating. 1t is an application of
the most recent discoveries regarding
the properties of rare earths and radi-
ant bodies. The heating mantle in
question is composed of new mixture
of rare earths in which the dominant
active substance is cerium, which has
a very high radiating power. 1t may
be estimated that such mantle radi-
ates 100 per cent. more heat than a
Welsbach mantle of the same weight,
on burner. A Welsbach mantle trans
forms the obscure heat of blue-hame
burner into luminous radiations whose
spectrum is specially rich in yellow
and green rays with some blue and lit
tie red. The heating mantle gives a
spectrum made up of red and infra-red
rays, encroaching much on the invis-
ible part, but rich in heat-rays. The
output of the apparatus may be con-
sidered as 40 per cent. greater than
that of the devices hitherto known.
This apparatus gives out no more
poisonous products than the Wels-
bach devices used for illumination; f;
the burners are precisely the same. A
heating-apparatus is composed, as
shown in the diagram of number of
intensive gas-burners (A) disposed in
row. Above each of the burners is
placed a mantle OBJ called the radio
incandescent body. The mantles are
heated by the flame of the burners;
they are almost nonluminous, but emit
very intense heat horizontally.
"The burners are grouped in the de-
vice, but each is independent and has

and 1t bled all night, but the job was
finally accomplished and the little boat
token on board, when it was found that
an eight-inch hole had been stove in
the planking near the bow.
The party was unable to attract the
attention of the keeper of Seguin light
or of the life-saving crew at Popham
Beach, so revolver shots were fred in
the air, but the wind was in the wrong
direction to carry the sound ashore. II
an attempt to make torch of cotton
waste and kerosene, the lighted waste
was blown into the cabin. where a
fierce fire was soon in progress.
There the party remained all night.
fearing any moment that their cables
would part and the craft be blown up
on the lodges only a few feet away.
Next morning the sea went down
somewhat, and a patch was made on
the little tender by means of n rubber
coat. and Mr.. Perry skillfully padded
ashore at Popham, and Powers and
Fisher were rescued by the life-savins
crew.
The launch was towed to this city by
steamer, and shows little effects OF
the perils of her maiden voyage. The
experience has cured Mr.. Perry of the
yachting fever for this summer, and he
Is willing to sell his craft at once.

Old Coins Found.

An important discovery has been
made at Russian castle, in the Isle OF
Man, which dates from the tenth cen
tury. the foundations of minting
house having been unearthed. The
sunken fireplace is almost perfect. and
portions of the crucibles, some copper
dross, and large number of Derby

INDIVIDUAL RACK FOR GARMENTS.

ticles he has to deposit temporarily
against exchange or deliberate theft.
1t frequently occurs that valuable
hat, coat or other garment disappears
by exchange when a number of persons
have to hang up similar articles to-
gether and leave them without attend
ants. This rack is intended to avoid
mistakes of this character and to af-
ford absolute protection to guests and
patrons. giving each person his or
her own rack, which can be securely
locked until opened by a key in the
possession of the owner of the gar
meEts. The rack is in the form of a
fancy wooden box. inside of which
are the necessary hooks, etc, for hold
ing the garments. The door is hinged
at one side. and after being swung
into locked position, the garments can
not be pulled out. The hat is held
against removal by knob which
presses against the rim.

TEACHES PARROTS TO TALK
Application of the Photographic APP
paratus to the Education of
the Birds.

That the phonograph is now used
with success to teach parrots to talk
Is asserted by the Technical World.
Says this magazine:
THE teaching of parrots to talk has
occupied the attention of bird enthusi-
asts for many years. but it has re-
mained for one Mrs. Hope. of Philadel-
phia, to utilize modern invention to
relieve the weary tedium of teaching
Polly. The parrot learns by sound, not
by the sense of what 1t hears. and 1t is

A FISH TRAP.
Eels and Catfish as Animals

The genuine fisherman thinks more
of getting bites" than he does of
really landing the fish. He may sit
on the bank of the stream all day and
not fish to show for the days sport,
but II he has had a few dozen bites,
he will be satisfied. To this class
of fishermen the trap shown here will
be of little interest. The inventor has

only by machine-like repetition OF the
sentence that Polly can be made to
talk. Mrs. Hope has done away with
the necessity for this drudgery by plac-
ing a phonograph close to Polly's perch
and, by keeping the talking machine
repeating for hours at time the SEN
tence which the parrot is to learn. she
accomplishes the best and quickest re-
suits. In this way the parrot will
learn sentence in a week, while to
become proficient in a number of sen.
tences requires about six months"

COURT NOTES
 FROM ROOSEVELT
An Apparently Concerted Movement
 Against Restaurant ProprietOrs.

Roosevelt. April 21.-Dick Kalish the proprietor Of the White House restau- rant, swore to a charge of grand lar ceny against Lupa Valencia, a former waitress in his employ, on Monday of last week, but on account of insufflc- lent evidence. the case was dismissed. She was charged with abstracting sS1 from Kalish's pockets without the knowledge of the latter The story told at the examination was that early one morning recently, Kalish left a pair of trousers lying upon his bed in the rear of the restaurant. They were left where anyone going to the kitchen from the dining room would have easy access to them. and Kalish swears that it was Miss Valencia that took the money which was in them in a pocket book At the examination he intro duced several witnesses, thereby try ing to prove his case. one man. a teamster, swore that a certain five-dol- lar bill which he knew Kalish to have, had been found at Thompson's store, where Miss Valencia was known 10 have spent that amount of money. He attempted to identify the money by describing a slight tear in the corner of the bill but his testimony was of little value, for when confronted with
 
 practically impossible to tell which particular one he referred to. Others were brought in. and tried to show that Lupa was the one with the stolen goods but their testimony was all weak and inconseqUential. The thing that con vinced those present the strongest, of the girls innocence, was her caimness during the whole proceeding. Not once during the entire examination did she show any signs of excitement or un- certainty. She answered all questions in clear, even manner and when dis missed, expressed herself only as he had done during the trial.
 The examination of witnesses occu- pied a greater part of the morning, and when it was over, Judge Evans dis missed the case, not desiring to bring it to trial. because of the insufficlency of the evidence necessary to make a case.
 The announcement of the marriage of Mir. James Lane and Miss Maude Bell Russell, both of this place. will come as a complete surprise to most of their friends in Roosevelt. The wedding, which took place at the brides home at Wheatfields, on Satur- day evening last, was a very quiet af- fair, only the immediate family and in timate friends of the two young people being present. MT. and Mrs. Lane will make their home for the time being, at Grapevine, where MT. Lane maintains a station for his teams that are hauling cement to the Diversion Dam.

EARTHQUAKE WARNED
 WIRELESS OPERATOR
Mechanism at Galveston Station AF-
 fected Hours Before the Calamity.

Two days after the san Francisco
 earthquake the St. Louis Globe Democrat printed the following dis | patch from Galveston describing an | incident which will shortly be given | the attention of the scientists of the world and which may prove that the.
 wireless telegraph will become useful
 as means of warning against earth | quake calamities:
 The wireless telegraph as a seismo-
 graph was forcefuHy demonstrated at
 the station here during the past three
 days, and Operator F. M Thurston had
 thrilling experience with the air cur rents recording the vibrations in the
 tuning wires ten hours in advance of the first quake of the earth at San francisco. Tuesday night the sput- | tering and sparks of electricity in the station aroused the operator, who. be- | lieVing some ship at Sea or land sta ton of the wireless system was calling the Galveston station, answered the summons. He signaled through the ar currents repeatedly. but failed to get an intelligent response. The sput tering and sparks continued at inter vals and the wires acted like they were possessed. He examined the station and every piece of mechanism. but ] Ns on duty throughout the night. He sig naled Denver and East St. Louis. 500 miles away, but they had not called, and shortly after midnight the instru-
 ments became so charged that Thurs
 ton mad to abandon using the keys. "wednesday morning he heard of the earthquake and knew the upheaval had
 affected the air currents and charged the wireless station. With this knowI-
 edge he remained on duty. and re, ord
 ed the subsequent quakes on the Cali
 fornia coast even to the last reported
 trouble felt at Los Angeles Thursday.
 By comparing the records at the sta
 ton with the reports of the severn!
 quakes, if showed that the sensitive in
 struments anticipated the quakes by
 several hours. Scientists are now
 studying the discovery with a view of
 putting it to practical use.
 The experience of Operator Thurs
 ton Tuesday night was one of terror
 with the mysteries of nature, and he
 was well-nigh a nervous wreck before
 he discovered the cause of the instru-
 ments' wild actions on that fateful night. A report in detail is now being
 prepared for the benefit of science"

 On the following day he was brought in for trial. and admitted that he was trying to beat the bill, and that when caught was on his way to Globe. Judge Evns imposed fine of twenty-five dol - lars in addition to the payment of the board bin which amounted to SIS. Friends of the prisoner asked that # work was found for the man and the total costs paid would sentence be cOmmuted. This was granted by the judge. and the man was taken in charge by his friends and given em- ployment. He will have to pay the en- tire board bill and all court costs of the trial.
 F. Teichman, who left last week for San Francisco, returned from that place last Saturday evening with his daughter, Miss Helen, whom he had gone to bring from the stricken city Mir. Teichman reports the situation to be fully as bad as the newspapers have told of it, and says that while he was there, he, alOn~ with the other refu- gees, endured many hardships. His home, which is out in the Presidio dis trict, was undamaged by either fire or the earthquake, while practically every bit of San Francisco with the exccp- tion of this district, Is entirely in ashes.
