Maneuvers at Camp
Mabry Are Ended.

Official notification has been re-
ceived by Major.A. P. Blocksom,
OF the Inspector Generals depart
ment, that the army encampment
at Camp Mabry near Austin was
ended today.
This is generally considered as
the most successful encampment
ever held in Texas. The encamp-
ment has ended month earlier
than expected. however. which
Major Blocksom thinks is due to
the fact that, since the departure Of
the state militia, and the sending
of three companies to Sam Hous-
ton and one to Brown, the number
of troops left was perhaps insult
fcient to make it worth while to
continue the maneuvers.

Lessons in Manners.

A well-known lawyer Is telling
good story about himself, and his cf-
forts to correct the manners of his OF
fee boy. One morning, not long ago,
relates the Brooklyn Citizen, the young
autocrat Of the Office blew into the Of
flee and, tossing his cap at hook, ex-
claimed: Say, Mr.. Blank, there's a
ball game down at the park to-day and
l am going down."
Now the attorney is not hard
hearted man, and was willing the boy
should go, but thought he would teach
him little lesson in good manners.
Jimmie he said kindly, that isn't
the way to ask favor. Now, you
come over here and sit down and I'll
show you how to do it." The boy took
the Office chair and his employed pick
ed up his cap and stepped outside. He
then opened the door softly and, hold
ing the cap in his hand, said quietly
to the small boy in the big chair
Please sir, there is ball game at the
park to-day If you can spare me
would like to get away for the after
noon" In flash the boy responded
why, certainly, Jimmie, and here Il
so cents to pay your way In"
There are no more lessons In man
uers in that office.

Electro Magnets.

The familiar horseshoe magnet Is
made of highly tempered steel and
magnetized so that one end Is north
mole, the other south, or perhaps
more commonly known as a negative
and a positive. Once magnetized 1t Is
always magnetic unless the power Is
drawn from it by exposure to intense
heat. An electromagnetic, however,
be made from any scrap of soft iron,
from a piece of ordinary telegraph
wire to gigantic iron shaft. When
current Of electricity passes through
an insulated wire coiled about soft
iron object such as nail, a bolt, or a
rod that object becomes a magnet as
long as a current of electricity is pass
ing through the coils of wire or helix
A coil Of wire in the form of spira
spring has stronger field than
straight wire carrying the same cur
rent. for each turn or convolution add
its magnetic field to that of the othe
turns: and by having the center of tn
coil Of iron, which is a magnetic body
the strength Of the magnetism Is grea'
IL increased.-St. Nicholas.

The submarine signaling is close
rival to the wireless telegraph in the
great increase that it has made in the
safety of travel on the sea. One re-
ceiver is placed on each side of the
ship, with separate wires from each,
and by the use of telephones the off,
Ger is able to hear a bell that is being
struck at point many miles distant
from the ship and determine Its direc-
ton. The officer Of the Kaiser VIII
helm der Crosse states that on the last
trip over, when the ship was four
miles distant from the River Weser,
he plainly made out the signals con-
veyed from the lightship there. Fur
thermore, as the vessel neared Nan
tucket, and when she was about four
miles distant from the lightship, he
heard through the telephone the signal
| go" This consists of six strokes OF
| the bell, pause and then six more
strokes Of the bell, which is the Nam
tucket lightship code signal. At about
the same distance from Sandy Hook
lightship the respective signals were
distinctly audible. The value of this
device in preventing collisions be-
tween approaching ships is evident
for 1t has this advantage over the fog
horn, that the direction of the ap'
preaching vessel, whether from port OF
starboard, is determined at once by the
!. fact that the sounds are audible to the
port or starboard telephone.
