TROPHY FROM THE KING.
$500 Cup for Competition by National
Artillery Associations.
Special Cablegram to The Star

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, June 29.-The king has con-
scented to give cup. valued at $500, for
competition at the forthcoming match be-
tween teams representing the National Ar
tillery Association of Great Britain and the
Dominion Of Canada Artillery Association.
In addition the Prince of Wales has given
a contribution Of $3.50 and the Duke Of
Connaught one of 500 toward the fund to
defray the expenses of the British team
The consent Of the army council has
been obtained for the competition, so that
everything is now in train for the compile
ton of very important and interesting
interimperial event.
The last occasion in which a British .eam
went to Canada was in 1854 when 1t won
the cup presented by her majesty, Queen
Victoria. Canada sent a team to the Ma
tional Artillery Association meeting at
Shoeburyness in 1897, when the Canadians,
won the kings cup. The British team
leaves for Canada July IL. 1t has been Sc
lected from the various volunteer artillery
corps in England and Scotland. Col. Sid
tillery. goes out in command. and the other
officers are Capt. Flower, I'd Hants, R. G.
A; Capt Danea. list Norfolk. r. g. A.. and
Capt. Dods. LIST City of Edinburgh. r. G.
A, with thirty-two rank and file.
In addition Colonel. the Earl Of Strad-
broke, chairman of the council of the Ma
tional Artillery Association, will accom-
pany the team. Col Wishart will assem-
BILE his officers and men at one Of the forts
on the Mersey in the first week Of July
for eight days training and practice before
embarking for Canada. The competitions
will include gun practice with the twelve
FOUNDER. B. L. At in. for heavy batteries.
6 in. B. L. for garrison artillery and S in.
howitzers for field artillery. The field gun
and heavy battery competitions will take
place at Petewawa, on the Ottawa river,
and the coast defense competition at Hall
fax. N. 8.
Besides His Majesty's cup the London
derry challenge cup and valuable money
prizes will be offered in competition. An
important consideration in connection with
the visit Is the question Of cost as the
expenses of the non-commissioned officers
and men must be paid, the officers paying
their own expenses. Lord Stradbroke has
already issued an appeal for funds to as
sist the National Rifle Association to meet
the costs entailed. The regiments from
which men have been selected will con-
tribute $50 per man toward the expenses,
but inasmuch as about $4,000 will be
needed. considerable outside assistance is
being required.

NEW KIND OF ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Young American Electrician Claims an
Important Discovery.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
LONDON, June 29--In the courtyard OF
the Savoy Hotel the curious will be able to
see in few days the first installation in
Europe of totally new kind of electric
light.
Mr.. d. McFarlan Moore the inventor of
this light. is a young American electrician.
who has been patiently working at prob
lem for twelve years and claims to have
solved it at last. He has discovered how to
produce a steady light from rarefied air
made incandescent in a vacuum tube by an
alternating current of electricity
All that one can see is a glass tube one
and three-quarter inches in diameter sus-
pended from the ceiling In the courtyard
This tube welded into one continuous hole
is about two hundred feet long and its ends

meet in a terminal box containing a motor

generator.
1t Is claimed that the invention which
makes the Moore light practical is Won
derful little locomotive valve which feeds
air to the glowing vacuum tube. 1t must
be understood that the air in the tube be-
comes exhausted by the chemical changes
which 1t undergoes while the current is
passing through 1t. If there were no means
of reinforcing the air with a fresh supply
the light would flicker and go out. The
valve acts a lung to the body of the
tube. When the resistance Is lowered by
the exhaustion of the small quantity of air
which it contains a minute cone of porous
carbon is lifted automatically from the mer
curry In which it rests, and through this
porous cone fresh air passes. AS soon as
the interior resistance Is restored the cone
sinks again and the covering Of m rcury
effectuaiiy prevents the entry Of more air
Thus the tube may be said TO breathe air
through its tiny lung.
The light is practically without heat and
it's color approxima.tes SO closely that OF
daylight that artists can use 1t for mixing
colors or painting by.

AFFAIRS IN MOROCCO.
Significant Message to Clans for Con.
ference After Harvest.

Special Csblegram to The Star.
TANGIER, June 23.-The rumors that
Mulai-el-Hafd. the Viceroy of Marrakosh
and half-brother Of the sultan, has taken
up arms are everywhere pronounced false.
1t Is asserted that he has not risen against
the authority Of Ab-el-Aziz; he has even
maintained reasonable order In the south
ern capital.
But 1t Is significant that q message has
been sent to some of the most important
clans in the south summoning them to meet
as soon as the harvest operations are over
to discuss the best plan for saving the
country from the infidel. l. this movement
assumes the proportions that are expected.
Mula-el-Hafd may find himself forced to
take a place at the head of 1t.
1t Is said that the sultan knows all about
these developments and Is making a siren
uous effort to leave Fee. He has applied to
the French government for a loan in order
that he may pay his way and move at least
as far as Rabat. His wazeers, for reasons
than can only be surmised, are doing their
best to endeavor to persuade him to stay
where he Is.
Some say that he is in league with the
southern malcontents. Unless a loan Is
forthcoming 1t will be impossible for the
sultan to make a move because he can
neither pay his soldiers nor bride the pow
erful tribes through whose territory he
must pass. If his wazeers prevails and he
stays where he is the great meeting of the
tribes. which is timed to take place early
in July, will probably decide against him.
and the situation which will arise will per-
haps be the most serious of recent years.
Whatever movement the sultan is about
to make he must start before the harvest
Is over, because many of the loyal tribes
are wavering in their allegiance. If Abb
el-Ariz can gather the men and the money
to go south at once he may save the situa
ton: If he should delay the loyalty of his
half-brother may be strained to the break
