The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1908-05-29

If the sun were blue there would
be only two colors in the world, blue
and black; or IL it were red every
thing would be red or black. In the
latter case there would be red snow,
red lilies, black grass, black clear
sky and red clouds. There would be
a little variety. however, if the sun
were green. Things that are now
yellow would still remain that color,
but there would be no reds, puppies,
orange or pinks and very few of those
CHEEKY hues that make the world
bright and pleasant. Besides color
the temperature of this earth would
be very much changed.
The Brazilian Minister of Marine
has interested himself in the subject
of Illuminated acetylene buoys for
use on the coast. The type of buoys
Is that lighted by acetylene which
will burn continuously for six months.
The largest of the buoys is situated
at the mouth of the Amazon and
weighs complete about twenty tons.
The use of twenty-five lights of this
character and varying in size is con-
templated at different points along
the ocean coast.
A wave motor in operation on the
coast north of Santa Cruz, Cal, was
invented by E. ]. Armstrong. Two
wells, open to the ocean at the bot
tom, are sunk in the cliff to below
low water mark. In one, a counter
balanced float, rising and falling with
the waves, operates a force pump
plunger in the other well, which is
capable of driving a four inch stream
to the 5000 gallon tank standing 125
feet above. In ordinary weather the
pump fills the tank in an hour, in
stormy weather, in thirty-five min
utes.
The London Evening News de-
scribes a torpedo invented by Grin
dell Mathews which the inventor says
can be controlled absolutely up to
distance of seven and one-quarter
miles, and which can be exploded by
concussion or at any moment desired
by means of the wireless telegraph
system. No connection to guide the
instrument is necessary between it
and the torpedo boat from which it
is discharged. The inventor also as
serts that he has discovered an cleo
trical wave which cannot be inter-
fered with.

and proceeded with the trial OF
the cause which resulted in Walter
Edwards being found guilty of trans
porting liquor.
The dispute between the attorneys
arose over the fact that Attorney
Turner during the course OF the
trial Of the case against Edwards
accused the county attorney of sub
ornation of Witnesses and finally the
words between the two men became
so heated that County Attorney Math-
ers applied an epithet to his brother
attorney, Turner, Nd the two men
went together like schoolboys of the
age Of about ten years.
The conclusion Of the trial of
the case concluded the work of the
county court for yesterday.
During the present week the road

Battle was convicted of keeping
