Sleeping Giant Of Asia perfeog an Army that May Be Wonder

and the world at large entertained new
ideas Of China and its army.
This year there was no illusion. Critics
came 10 criticise. as they thought, a mgd-
cm army; then realized how unfair they
had been.
They found that China had not produced
a modern army, as western countries under
stand the term; that conditions, as found
I'm China. were too great a handicap, that
its army as homogeneous unit, does not
exist; that IL is quasi-imporiaI and subject
to the forces Of the empire, and that there
fore the present day standing of western
nations cannot be applied"
Other critics look upon Chiua's military
future with enthusiasm. They regard the
Chinese soldier with contempt no longer.

said one attaChe, "and / would not be

IN the face Of any opposition that China

soldiers which are now calling for tho
admiration Of the military critics Of ten

agement and DIR. Deforest erected the
wireless pole on top Of the Schubert build
ing in Thirty-ninth street and fitted up the
receiving station in the Normandie. This
was a week ago, and experiments were
made with which it was supposed no one
would become acquainted This illusion
was summarily dispelled last Tuesday even
ing when a man dashed into Telhamonic
hall. How are you putting this music on
the wireless" the visitor asked. A diplo-
matte general denial was forthcoming.
THAT won't do was his reply. You
can't fool me. I'm G. S. Macdonald, chief
electrician in charge Of the wireless sta
tiOn in the Brooklyn Navy yard, and 1
know l heard William Tell and Ave
Maria over my wireless, ard II could not
come from anywhere except here" DR..
Deforest explained that new apparatus was
necessary for the transmission OF the voice
and music over the wireless by telephone.
He is using an oscillator or enormously
high frequency Of oscillation, and the voice
or music is made to increase or decrease
the intensity of the electric voltage affec-

desolato valleys and the development Of
large areas for agriculture His work
opened new channels for industry. new
employment FOR many thousands and con-
tinues to afford opportunities for the home
seeker
The reclamation act Of June Il. 1892. was
the logical development of the investiga-
tons Of the previous twelve years under
Mr. Newell. Naturally its administration
was placed in his hands as chief engineer
10y the director of the geological survey.
His appointment to the position of director
Of the reclamation service. now an indie
pendent bureau of the Interior department.
is a proper recognition OF the invaluable
services he has rendered the government.
1t furnishes also an inspiration to those
who are devotinE the best years OF their
lives TO government work.
MIR. Newell's fitness for great responsible
ties lies chiefly in his al-round perfect bal
auce. supplemented by good common sense
and a judicial attitude Of mind by which
he can at any time patiently hear and give
due weight to the suggestions of others.
Thus to a remarkable degree he is able to
bring to his work the combined wisdom of
many minds. avoiding the errors Of the
cock-surr eeotst on the one hand and of

be called hobby it is his insistance on
a close personal acquaintance with the
work of which he mas charge. lie spends
a large share OF his time in camp discuss
ing details on the ground with those who
are designing or building works, thus
equiping himself for quick and wise de-
Osion on the many points Of Importance
that constantly demand executive action.
lie is an incessant worker and has the
capacity for an immense amount of bust
ness, yet never appears to be hurried nor
overwhelmed with the duties Of his office.
An invaluable element of his eXtraor-
binary success in organization lies in his
capacity for choosing wisely the men needed
for responsible positions and in maintain
ing an esprit de crops among them that
has challenged the admiration of all who
have come in contact with the reclamation
service.
As a result Of his foresightedness and his
ability in organization the reclamation
service entered upon actual construction
within year after the passage of the act,
and two years later a great project in
Nevada was formally opened to settlement
At the present time construction work is
going forward on twenty-five projects in
twelve states and two territories. involving
the ultimate expenditure Of 100000 and
the reclamation Of 100000 acres. In less
than five years the service has practically
completed four projects and will supply
water this year to $4,000 acres of desert
It has dug 1857 miles Of canal, several
of which carry whole rivers; its tunnels are
more than nine miles long and the excava-
tons of earth and rock amount to 33, 90
cubic yards, or about one-fourth the esti-
mated yardage of the Panama canal. It
has constructed ninety-four large struc-

Music by Wireless TeIephone.

Music, conversation and Geographic sig
nails from a steamship in the bay We're
transmitted by wireless and heard through
an ordinary telephone receiver in room in
the top floor of the Normandie hotel New
York, the other afternoon. DR.. Lee Defor-
est, inventor of a wireless telegraph sys-
TEN, gave a public demonstration Of ap-
paratus for the adaptation of the wireless
method to the telephone. Music was trans
mitted by wireless from TelhamOnic hall,
Thirty-ninth street and Broadway, by the
New York Electric Music company, and
was plainly heard through telephone and
wireless receiver installed in the hotel. a
block away. Through the same telephone
the operator manipulating the telharmonic
apparatus in Thirty-ninth street announced
what selections would be played, asked
when the music should be started and
stopped. and was distinctly heard in Thir-
ty-eighth street by the several persons
gathered TO witness the test. That the
steamships wireless should have cut IN
was an accident. Its apparatus happened
to be attuned IN accord with that in the

inside Of two or three years. The power
developed by the falls is almost inconceiv-
able. The width Of the river at that point
is 1900 yards, and the drop is NOR" than
4OO feet At the bottom of the falls the
river is, as II WERE shut in by another
high ledge and the whole Of the enormous
volume OF water rushes through narrow
rlz-zag gorge for several miles. There Is
no such natural concentration OF water
power anywhere else in the world and 1t is
this power which the company designs to
tap. 1t is interesting to note that the
necessary buildings and works are to be
constructed so as in no way to impair the
beauty of the most stupendous spectacle
in the continent Of Africa. The power
house will be situated $50 feet below tho
falls and will be completely out of sight.
Here the electricity will be generated and
driven through cables suspended on steel
towers 1000 feet apars over G0O miles Of
practically uninhabitcd country TO the
suburbs Of Johannesburg. The pressure Of
the current is still matter 10 be decided,
but one Of no less than 10000 volts Is con-
templated. TO deal with fluctuations in tho
matter Of supply and TO prevent the waste
Of power the generation Of which is neces-
sarily continuous, all spare power will DO
used to pump water into "A reservoir at the
top Of a high hin, whore It will constitute
a reserve supply Of energy by allowing
the water 20 run down again to the bottom
of the hill an artificial waterfall will be
constituted, which can be utilized whenever
necessary for the regeneration or power.

impressvely, Mr.. Stillwoll asserts, and
upon great scale, its superiority to the
steam locomotive in operating single cars
and short trains and even in frequent and
heavy passenger service in which the
length Of the train is limited only to the
length OF the station platform. Or to Illus
trate, in the New York subway, whose
operations made possible many of the in
vestigations carried on by Mr.. Stillwell,
eight car trains weighing 800 tons are in
operation, equipped with motors which de-
velop traction power that IS fully equivalent
to drawbar pull such as steam locomo-
tives exert Of 5000 power.
So, also. on the Erie railroad the heav-
Test locomotive, exclusive of tender.
weighs 100000 pounds, Of which a littlo
over so per cent is effective upon the
drivers OF the locomotives Therefore,
the motors Of the eight cars of the cleo
trio train OF the subway exert a tractio On
energy equivalent to more than twice the
drawbar pull of the Erie locomotive
Mr.. Stillwell asserts that If all the rail
ways of the United States were now oper-
ated by electricity, and particularly If
operated by the use of the single phase
alternating current system at rhe poten-
tial adopted for the equipment of the New
Haven railroad, the aggregate cost of the
operation as compared with the cost of
present operation would be reduced about
S25O,OOO,OOO This practically would pay
the cost of the generation of electric
energy so that from this point Of view
the saving in the operation of the rail-
roads Of the United States by electrical
ton OF the system and the apparatus de-
scribed would be so great as in Comparl-
son with the cost OF the present operation
practically to eliminate the cost Of the
power houses.
Regarding the reliability Of train serv,
ice the records of the elevated railways
in New York City, which were run by
steam from 1872 until 9O2, and since the.
by electricity, are cited. That there is ar
increased capacity Of line is claimed bj
the argument that electric traction as
compared with steam enables the develop
ment OF much greater sustained tractiv,
efforts with given weight on lrivers ON
reason OF more uniform rotativc effort
The frequency OF stops I'm also claimed as
an advantage
After a long discussion Of the relative
cost OF operating various systems with ar
elaborate summary of cost Of MAINTENANCE
of way and structures, and maintenance,
Of equipment, conducting transportation
and general expenses, the con fusion Is
