AmetralIadord electrical

La electricidad, esa fuerza
misteriosa de que Ell hombre ha
|llegado a hacer uso sin conocer-
la, tiende a convertirse en- hada
universal. Recientemente, los
ingenieros han buscado la ma
nera de aplicarla a las armas de
guerra; han exigido a la hada
que remplace la polvora Y el
hada ha querido complacerlos.
No hace mucho Sc hablo acer-
ca de la invencion de un canon
electrico en- Inglaterra y de una
|ametralladora idem, en- Francia.
Ahora, TN ingeniero suizo, el
senor Federico Bangertea, que
recide en- Bedford Ave, Brook
lyn, acaba de inventar, por su
parte, una ametralladora sin pol
vora, y con tai motive invite a
varios de los representatives de
la prensa americana a presen-
c1ar los experimentos Todos
proclaman que los resultados
son maravillosos.
FL mecanismo es SencillO, tan
sencillo, dice el inventor, que
cualquier persona que tenga al
gun COnoCimiento en- la mccain
ca, 10 comprende a la simple Wis
ia. No permitio examinarlo a
lpresentes, por motive de natural
precauc1on, como es de compren-
|derse. El aparato Sc hallaba
detras de un tabique de MADEIRA
~ solo Sc Wan los canones que
|salian por TN agujero, y una q
manera de corneta en- la cual Ell
senor Bangerter vertia simple
mente balas de acero de tres oc-
tavos de pulgada de diametro.
La tuerza motriz que hace
funcionar el aparato, esta sunni
nistrada por un motor electrico
de siete caballos Y Sc trasmite
por una cOrrea que pasa sobre un
volante detras de la ametralla-
dora
Tan pronto como ell motor
priucipia a funcionar, la anne
tralladora empieza d lamar pro-
yectiles a raz0n de 100 por Sc
gundo, Tres tilas de tablas de
pino, de media pulgado de espe-
sor, colocadas a 65 pies de dis
tancia y con un intervalo de )
pies entire una y otra, fueron
atravesadas por las balas Y al
cabo de diez segundos todas tres
presentaban un agujero inmen-
so.
Hay una circumstance digna
de notar: el tiro sc efectua sin
ruido; no Sc oye sino la rotacion
del volante. La maniobra es tan
sencilla como es possible, pues
todo sc reduce d echar las balas
en- laC COrneta.
FL selor Bangerter espera
poder conStruir una ametralla-
dora de este tipo, capaz de Ian
zar 500 proyectiles por segundo.
Colocada sobre una curena auto
movil especial, esta maquina de
destruction podra ser manejada
por dos hornbres solamente.
Despues dc este mortifero in
vento, que otra cosa? Los inge-
Inieros y la electricidad 10 diran,

Telephone III Manners.

Science makes possible new forms
of impoliteness. Why should man,
simply because he has a telephone,
be taken advantage of by the other
man on the outside. who wants to sell
him something or bore him. or i'm
perfume him in some other way? And
a way important only to himself.
The man who has telephone is,
in a large sense, at the mercy of the
outside world. AS it may be of the
utmost Importance, he must always
answer the call. If he tries to inaug-
urate system whereby the name and
business of the person who calls him
up must first be made known, then he
is bound to offend some one, and ac-
quire the disagreeable reputation of
a certain superiority and loftiness of
which he is by no means guilty. He
is in a sense defenseless, and all this,
of course, is duly taken into considera-
ton by the bad-mannered person who
calls him up; who, if his victim were
talking with some one else in the
room, would scarcely have the eff
frontery to walk up and break into
the conversation; or who wouldn't
force himself into a private office, but
who makes no bones of gleefully sit
ting in a neighboring booth and COM
polling the unfortunate man to listen
to him.
Thus the telephone has brought in
to existence a new nuisance. Some
thing ought to be done about neut-
RAILING his pernicious activity.-Life.

CORINNE IS HERE.
She Isn't a Day Over Thirty-Five-
So There!

s'I was born on Christmas day 1878
| and I am just as old as the difference
| between 1908 and 1873" said Corinne
this afternoon in reply to state
Journal reporter who interrupted hel
| during a rehearsal, merely to enquire
| her age.
ut makes me tired she continued
''for people to discuss my age every
time I appear in a western town. The
ways of the American public in
computing ages are funny in the ex-
treme Why one year spent in Eu-
| rope and when I came back the
papers had me returning from five
years. stay abroad. At the rate some
theatrical writer's make their calcula-
tions, 1 am now on the shady side
of 90.
'Pinafore' in May. 1879 when I
been at it ever since. I remember
playing in Topeka in $780, and at that
time Mr.. Crawford advertised me as
IA years of age, when lacked several
ford was, and he wasn't very big
then.
II am proud of my record on the
stage" continued the. little actress,
land there are but few who can point
to as honorable a career. have
never done half of the things they
tell about others who have been on
the stage for long time. Why, L
never even stole another woman S
husband, and you know pretty nearly
all of them do that.
when am I going to retire from
the stage, you ask. Well that is away
off in the future, and 1t won't happen
for many years. I expect to stay on
the stage so long that the people who
now have me doped up to SO years of
age Will have me at least 200 years of
age.
about half the time the people are
getting me confused with Fay Tenn
pleton who made her bow from the
stage about the same time did. Fay
has a good sized mole on the back of
her neck and that makes a lot of peo-
pie accuse me of having one, when [
haven't"
And really Corrine doesn't look so
very old. She has of course gained
lot of flesh, but she is young and
sprightly in looks. She hasn't yet
acquired a grey hair and is much
younger looking than the average
actress.
Her career has been a remarkable
one She made her start in Pima
fore" but she has since made a grand
success with the Kimball Opera
Comique company, "FIorodora," Rog-
ers Brothers, Cohan's ''Forty-f1ve Min
utes From Broadway" and in her
present play Lola From Berlin she
has been a real star. She appears at
the Grand tonight.

LOOKING FOR THE FACTS
Secretary Crumbine Inquiring About
Tuberculosis Data.

Secretary S. J. Crumbine of the state
board of health is today sending out to
the county health officers of the state
the following communication in regard
to tuberculosis statistics and preven-
tion of the spread of the disease by in
lection:
Il am enclosing you a list of names
returned to this office by the assessors
of your county, which persons were re-
ported to have died from tuberculosis
during the year 1907.
Il desire to know if disinfection has
been practiced in the home or place
where death occurred, and if not the
reason why this disinfection was not
spection of the balance of the members
of the family, if there is one, be made
in order to determine If here are any
other cases of tuberculosis or any in
cipient cases undiscovered. 1t is sug-
gested that you lay this matter before
your county board of health, urging
upon them the necessity of investiga-
ton and disinfection in case that has
not already been done.
Under separate cover 1 am sending
you pamphlets on the prevention OF
tuberculosis, a copy of which should be
given to each family where the death
has occurred as reported. You VIII
agree with me that an effective CAM
paign against tuberculosis cannot pc
made until the centers of infection
have been discovered and disinfected,
together with a painstaking inquiry as
70 other cases. with appropriate Sug-
gestions for measures of prevention

the results of the investigation at the
earliest possible date.

NOT FOR CONFERENCE.
Monetary Commission Is in New York
for Other Reasons.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Senators Aid
rich and Teller of the subcommittee
of the national monetary commission
accompanied by Arthur B. Shelton,
secretary of the commission, arrived
last night from Washington, and Co
gresham VreeIand, another member
of the committee is expected during
the day. Secretary Shelton said today
of the visit:
There is no thought of a conference
with New York bankers on this visit.
There is not even to be any formal
conference with the statisticians and
writer's engaged by the commission.
The members of the subcommittee have
taken advantage of the holidays to
come here to New York, which is a
more central point than Washington, to
pursue the routine work of the COM
mission and to talk with those writer's
and statisticians who are here in the
city or who may wish to come here in
order to advise with the committee
men. There are many men now writ
ing articles and gathering statistics for
us in regard to monetary conditions in
the United States and some of these
can more conveniently see us here
than in Washington The work of
these men deals exclusively with con-
ditions in this country and has moth
ing to do with the data collected by
Senators Aldrich and Teller and Rep
resentative Vreeland in England,
France and Germany last summer
Neither Senator Aldrich or Senator
Teller could be seen today.

FITZGERALD IN LINE.
Believes Legislature VIII Pass Guar
anty Law.

Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald of
Dodge City is in the city today for the
first time since the Taft meeting last
fall. The lieutenant governor will re-
main in Topeka until the latter part of
the week, as he expects to meet sew
eral of the new senators here and hold
an informal conference with them, with
an idea of getting acquainted and as a
kind of preliminary to help him in the
matter of making committee appoint
ments- Mr.. Fitzgerald expects to have
these appointments ready to announce
by the second day of the session.
In speaking of proposed legislation
the lieutenant governor said that in
view of the fact that the president of
the senate has no vote in the delibera-
lions of that body, but merely has to
see to it that legislative matters are
properly introduced and the parlia-
mentary forms carried out, he did not
think it would be well to advance views
that more properly belong in the gov
ernor's message. However, Mr.. Fftz-
gerald said in part:
Il believe that the guarantee of &C.
posits measure is a most important
question at this time and that such
measure will be passed at the next
legislature. More important still is
good roads legislation. Out in the sand
hills we are paying a great deal of at
tention to the question of better roads
and have government experts there to
help US in the matter. We have built
some roads there under expert inspec-
ton and instruction at a far less price
than we had anticipated and We point
to these roads with pride. As for the

NO HOPE FOR HER.
Governor Hoch Will Not Pardon Jessie
Morrison.

Jessie Morrison, who is serving a
twenty-five year sentence in Lansing
for the murder of Mrs. Olin Castle of
ElDorado, will not receive a pardon at
the hands of Governor Hoch, despite
the speculation as to the bilities
of such an event.
The Morrison pardon was discussed
in connection with the Collins pardon
some weeks ago, but while Collins is a
free man today, the governor is not
even considering the pardon of Miss
Morrison.
Nothing authoritative has been
given out from the executive offices in
regard to the denial of executive Glenn
ency for the ElDorado women swho
killed her successful rival, but it, is
known that Miss Morrison will never
receive a pardon at the hands of Gov
ernor Hoch.
The following in brief is the history
of the celebrated crime for which Miss
Morrison is paying the penalty:
About seven years ago Miss Nor
rison was in love with Olin Castle at
ElDorado. He Tilted her and married

another. A few weeks later Miss Nor
rison went to the Castle home, and, in
hand-to-hand struggle, cut Mrs. Cas-
ties throat from ear to ear, the young
woman dying from the wounds.
Miss Morrison was tried for murder
three times. The first trial resulted in
a hung jury. The second trial result
sentence of five years in the peniten-
tiary. Miss Morrison wanted to serve
this sentence, but her lawyers insisted
on an appeal to the supreme court
which ordered new trial, and the
third resulted in a verdict of murder
in the first degree and a sentence of
twenty-five years.
Warden Haskell and the prison Off
Gals say that Miss Morrison has been
model prisoner. and that the ends of
Justice have been served in her six
years incarceration
