PATROL WAGON DID
 NOT HOLD DRUNKS
Whisky Circulated Freely After Three Days of Drouth and Many
 Were Arrested.

The men who were deprived of their drink from Friday night to Monday night made up for lost time yesterday.
 There were 60 arrests and fully 90 of them were under the influence of liquor Never before has the city jail been so full of men who were drunk and down. White and black. men and women, were hauled in rapidly. The patrol wagon would go out on a call and the policeman On every corner, would wave him down to get a drunk. When the inside WAS crowded he would close the doors. and refuse to ride any more until the next trip.

the captured robber Will Morgan, was placed behind the bars.
 But bolder still were J C. Talbot and another white man who held up q cripple at the corner of Second avenue and Twenty fourth street directly in the glow from an arc light. The cripple, who sells shoe strings on the streets for a living, was relieved of $22 and sent on his way. He went straight to a policeman, who went straight to Talbot and his partner Talbot was nabbed and his friend es- capped.
 Talbot and the negro, Morgan, were placed in cells and instead of holding up people they will be given a chance to hold down the floor while they contem- plate the shadows cast by the gallows.

How Messages Are Sent.

A telegraph instrument was also op erated for the benefit of his audience by Captain Henry, and he then gave 8 brief description of his methods. 'The mes sages," said he, 'are sent by means of ether waves, a part of the atmosphere, whose vibrations are almost inconceivable to the mind. This ether is put in motion by the wireless Instruments and travels just as light and sound travel, although, unlike light and sound, Instructions exert no retarding influence over it. The ether wave passes through brick walls, through thousands of miles of space, and through any substance with ease It would take me too long to explain fully the qualities and the properties of ether. but it has opened new field to science that seems to be limitless. The wave we use in our telegrapby is called the Hertzian wave from Prof. Hertz, it's dscoverer.
 "A great many people," continued the captain, don't understand how it is that wireless messages sent from different ap- paratus do not conflict The explanation is simple. When a message Is sent from one given point to another the sending and receiving instruments must be at tuned. When this is provided for, the message will pass by any number of re- ceiving instruments without Reflection and go unerringly 10 its destination. This is one of the simplest laws in wireless telegraphy, yet it is one that is perhaps the least understood of all. It is only necessary to have the instruments in ae- cord and there will be no mistakes.
 Captain Henry also explained how many other wonderful feats could be done with the Hertzan wave. such as firing can non and exploding submarine mines. He was formerly an engineer in the United States army and has executed important electrical commissions both in this coun- try and abroad.

WIRELESS MESSAGES COME ID AGE-HERALD Captain Henry Sets Up His New
 Apparatus CAN TURN IN FIRE ALARM Interesting Demonstration Made Yes terday of Possibilities Of Recent Discovery Which Has AL
 ready Become Practical.
CAN TURN IN FIRE ALARM

Captain Henry. the wireless telegraph expert who is appearing this week at the Majestic theatre, gave an exhibition of his apparatus in the editorial rooms of The Age-Herald building yesterday aft ernoon. Captain Henry said he wanted to convince the newspaper boys and through them the public that there was no trickery in his performance.
 The most interesting of the experiments was that of ringing q fire alarm by means of ether waves sent from an alarm box to the receiving rod of the instrument. The waves were sent through walls and through the bodies of the spectators in wonderful manner ringing the correct alarm which Captain Henry had provided on his switchboard This feat was repeated a number of times and demonstrated how cheaply and con venienty wireless telegraphy can be used by city fire departments. It not only does away with wires, but is much sim pier than some of the contrivances now in use, and also much more certain in it's results. Once the ether wave is started 1t will inevitably reach it's destination.
 Can overtake Railroad Trains.
 In addition to his fire alarm. and also some call bells. operated with equal ia ciity. Captain Henry showed how acei- dents on railroads could be avoided by the use of wireless telegraphy. After d train has left a station the operator there has no means of warning the engineer of danger, but by means of wireless telegra- phy an operator could turn block signals along the track at any point, or even signal to the engineer in his cab, by means of colored lights and call bells. This accomplishment of science is little short of wonderful-that a message can overtake a flying train and stop 1t as surely as we would call to d friend a few feet away who was in danger. However. this achievement is practicable and simple enough when explained

MOST MODERN SALT PLANT.
Ready for the Table Without Eve

Ready for the Table Without Ever
 Being Touched by Human Hands.
 Thirteen hundred barrels every twenty-four hourse of fine sallt--lnin- ed, purified and crystalized, packed ready for the table without the touch of hand-this is the last achieve ment in salt marking, the final round in reduced cost of production, says the Technical World,
 In the city of SagiraW there has just been completed and put in opera tion the most modern salt pint n America. The rock salt is mined and brought to the surface in the form of brine, through wells nearly 800 feet deep This brine is pumped into tank and filtered and run into settung tanks. From there it is drawn off into grainers, where the salt crystalizes.
 These grainers are made of solid con crete and are much better than the old wooden tanks. Steam exhaust pipes pass through the grainers, which heat the brine to such temperature | that specialization begins.
 This is a most interesting action Watching the steaming surface of the brine, a pelllcle of salt form, which soon breaks and sinks down, to be | followed by another, and the crystal lization then proceeds rapidly. it is a fact that the estimated capacity of each grainer, of 100 barrels every twenty-four hours, is being greatly exceeded, and more than 1SO barrels are being made.
 No such fast salt making was ever known before,' said Salt Maker Mason. Tt beats all how the crystals form on the bottom and sides of the grainer. I never saw anthing like it and have been making salt-and good salt, too-for twenty-five years.

insist that the administration of the company

Life insurance I profoundly believe points 10
the solution of the problems which underlle the

is not socialism. Indeed the wider its dissenina-
the improbable the success ot most

of automobiles, late yesterday afternoon, Will
lam Watson a chauffeur. Of No 3o2 West oolh
street lost control of the car which he was
driving and it crashed into an electric hght
pole and overturned. He was caught under
meath the wreck, but when spectators anu
policemen got him out he was uniniured The
machine wrecked
Several hundred cars owned by manufact-
1Irers were sent there to test their machines
in climbing the hills. Permission had been OBJ
tained to close the streets, and there were sew
eral thousand spectators on the scene. Watson
was driving a touring car, and as he started
off the steering gear refused to work and the
car swerved toward the sidewalk, where more
than one hundred persons were crowded to-
gether When the car was seen wabbling about
the street the men, women and children made
a rush safe places
The car dashed toward an electric light pole
and crashed into it with terrific force and then
toppled over on its side. Watson was caught
under the wreck, and every one who had wit
messed the accident thought that he had been
killed The only injury which he suffered
was a slight lacetltion of the hand. The ma
