with me and we put at its service our two
long distance stations at Clifden, in Ireland,
and Glace Bay, in Canada. This was neces-
sary because the present installation at the
Admiralty is designed only for communica-
ton around the home coast lines and has
not a radius of more than 300 miles. Even
with this comparatively limited area, the
Admiralty could send messages to a fleet
lying off the coast of Denmark, in the
North sea; in the Bay of Biscay, off Lands
End, or upon the north coast of Ireland.
On the outward voyage the Indomitable

range of this station. Then its messages
were sent right on to Glace Bay, and from
there was retransmitted to Clifden. This
process was reversed on the homeward
voyage. 1t could receive our message direct
throughout the voyage owing to the greater
power of the land stations"

not be impossible to send and receive a

The inventor does not consider that this
wonderful achievement marks any limit of

a correspondent writes to the London
Times that the operation Of trans by cleo

proved so satisfactory that the admins
tration of the Swiss Bundesbahnen has de-
cided to purchase the fixed installations
as well as the four electric-motors built
by the firm of Brown-Boveri on the model
of the Italian cara" type locomotors, the
price for the while of the plant being
10000 francs. The firm Of Brown-Boveri
had undertaken to provide the electrical
plant at its own risks, and to restore the
tunnel for steam traction II, after a given
period, 1t was found that steam would be
preferable. Experience having proved that
the electrical system was satisfactory, the
general management saw no reason why it
should not be continued, The cost Of cleo
trical haulage, using the hydraulic in
staIlations already available for power
production, is notably higher than the
average cost Of steam traction, but against
this disadvantage is the important con-
sideration that in course of time the stone

Electric Engines in Mines.

The first electric mine locomotive was
built in 1857. 1t looks as clumsy, compared
TO its modern successor, as the model Of
the first railway locomotive beside the gt-
gantic machines turned out from the shop
In the year 1901.
Some Of these early creations, however,
have lasted straight through the period
OF improvement and are still IN operation.
One such was built in 1889. At the time
of the Pan-American exposition in Buffalo
the officials whose duty II was TO gather
exhibits for the electrical building decided
to obtain this locomotive.
They wrote TO the manage Of the mine
where It had been used to ask II It could

manager replied. with some Indignation.

that It could he loaned, provided a new

ITT5hFH Some noted Psychologists claim
G&hatlB that IL did. There are mighty
ruins here in Matabeleland which are SAID
to have belonged to the ancient miners,

remains Of ancient workings, and the gold
mines which are in operation today con-
sist chiefly Of the deepening Of the excava-
tons Of the past. Last year more than
100000 worth of ore was taken out Of
this part Of Africa, and something like
100000 worth has been mined since the
country were opened up. This is far north
Of and entirely apart from the great mines
OF the Transvaal, which are now yielding
more gold than any other mines of the
world. The workings there are on gigantic
scale. Here tho mining consists of many
hundreds of small propositions, and It is
chiefly the development of the deposits dis
covered by the unknown races of the an
Client past.
The miners are now looking for the old
workings, and they find that the ancients
usually abandoned their diggings when
they had gone down only forty feet or sn.
They had crude ways Of reducing the ore,
and some of the waste on the old dumps is
being worked over. l saw one shaft near
here which have been cleared out and ex-
tended, and the miners Of today are now
continuing the work of the men Of thou

as they are called, grow better as they go

low-grade ore, but such that 1t can be

machinery to work 1t. 1 have seen mills

MAY WED MRS. VANDERBILT.
She Gets Final Divorce Decree and
 Engagement Is Expected.

New York, Sept. 19.-There was no opposition by Alfred Gwynne Wander bilt when the application of Elsie French Vanderbilt for final decree of divorce from the young millionaire was filed by counsel with Justice Gerard in the supreme court.
 Mrs. Vanderbilt was granted an in- terlocutory decree three months ago, and the application was merely a fOrmality to make this final.
 As soon as the decree is made final Mrs. Vanderbilt is expected to an- nounce her engagement to Willing Spencer. son of j. Thompson Spencer, vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad.
 Young Spencer is regarded as one of the most eligible bachelors in Phila- delphia. He is lawyer. with an of flee in that city. and was one of Alfred Gwynne vanderbilt's chums.
 Mir. Spencer is quoted by friend as saying he had won the hand and heart of the former wife of "Alfey" Vanderbilt. and he hinted that prob ably he would join the ranks of the early this fall.
 The news did not come altogether as a surprise, for the fact that Mir. Spen- cer had been much in the company of Mrs. Vanderbilt had set the gossips of the Four Hundred conjecturing as early as last June.

With bruises on the face and the marks of fingers about the neck showing where she had been choked, the body of Nell lie Green, seventeen years old, of High land Park, who disappeared on Sun day last, was found in the Fortfield reservoir, near here. There is every indication that the girl was murdered and her body thrown into the water within POO yards of her home. The case in many respects resembles the Hazel Drew mystery. It will take an autopsy to determine whether the girl was dead or only stunned when she was thrown into the reservoir. There have been no arrests yet.

 New York, Sept. 19.-Frightened by pumas, an elephant ran away in the Bronx zoo, dashed in ahd out of the reptile house. forced women to jump into the reptile tanks to escape being crushed to death, tore down fences and shrubbery and finally dashed back into the snakes home, from which she refused to be removed. Fearing the elephant would smash in the glass of the snake cages and set at liberty deadly reptiles if force were used to eject her, the elephant. not yet fully over her panic, was chained heavily and kept in the reptile house.
 Keeper clings to Mad Beast.
 
 Fully 200 persons, chiefly women, were in the snake inclosure when the elephant Luna, dashed in the first time, dragging her keeper with her. in the panic that ensued Mrs. H. A. Stollenwerck of 1292 Sterling place, Brooklyn, tainted and was saved from being trampled on by the elephant only by the quickness with which she was dragged away. Mrs. Belinda Hur- den of 261 West Forty-seventh street, fell and received a deep gash over her right eye.
 Walter Truman, Luna's keeper, nar- rowly escaped death when she drag ged him through the narrow doorway into the turtle crawl in the reptile house. He rode in clinging to one of her front legs. Disregarding his peril, Truman held on to her ear with his hook and did everything he could to stop and to quiet her.
 Until week ago the elephant, then named Alice, was fin Luna park. Coney Island. She was so tractable she was used there to carry children.

 He Says it is Easier to Remedy

 New York, Sept. 19.-William Jen nings Bryan is today on his way to Providence, R. l., where he will deliv- CT two addresses. On his way to Prov idence MT. Bryan will also speak in New Haven, Apponaug and Woonsock- ct. He will return here tomorrow morning, leaving almost immediately for Esopus, where he will be the guest of Judge Alton B. Parker. On Sunday MT. Bryan will probably visit ex-Sena- tor David B. Hill at Woolfert's Roost.
 Mir. Bryan's address at Carnegie hall, in this city, called forth many expres- sions of approval from the crowd that filled the hall. The Democratic candi- date also addressed an overflow meet ing composed of persons who found themselves unable to crowd into the great assembly room.
 "They Fear Democratic Reforms"
 While here Mir. Bryan received many visitors at his hotel. Among them were leaders of the Democratic party in the state and city. He was assured of hearty support and seemed espe- cially pleased by the visit of Senator Patrick H. McCarren of Brooklyn.
 In his Carnegie hall address MT. Bryan said:
 Parties are to be measured not merely by the things actually done, but by their tendencies. Since it is easier to remedy evils in the beginning than after they are full grown, It is important to know the tendencies of parties as well as to know how far they have gone. desire to call at- tention to some of the tendencies of the Republican party.
 'Take, for instance. the matter of extravaganza in expenditures. The tendency of the Republican party is to increase the expenditures of the gov ernment out of all proportion to the increase in the population. At the first session of the present congress their appropriations exceeded billion dol lars. This is twice the appropriation of session of the Fifty-flrst congress, which was the highest appropriation known up to that time.
 "Measure Parties by Tendencies.r
 'The Democratic party has been called Socialistic party. and I have been denounced as socialist. I con tend that the Republican party, not the Democratic party, is aiding the Socialist party, and this is evidenced from the fact that the socialist leaders prefer Republican success to Demo cratic success. They fear the Demo cratic reforms will retard socialism, and they believe that Republican abuses can be used to arouse opposi- ton to the entire competitive system.
 We appeal to the sober sense of the American people and ask that they join us in the inauguration of reforms which will restore the government to Its old foundations and win for the government the love of all the people by making 1t the protector of every class and the friend of every leglti- mate interest and enterprise"
