MICHAEL RYAN
HAS TURNED UP
SAYS HE IS READY TO TAKE HIS
MEDICINE IN THE PEN
ITENTIARY.
PARDON PETITION STARTED
Being Circulated by His Sister In
Ward Where Convicted Election
Official Is Alleged to Have
Committed Crime.

Cleveland, O.-Mike Ryan, con-
victed ballot box suffer, sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary, but en-
forcement of sentence suspended until
after the holidays, says he will serve
his time in the penitentiary without a
murmur. Ryan says he is innocent of
the charge placed against him and
that If given a chance to testify would
have proved it.
Although he has been in the city
ever since the supreme court decision
last week, with police and deputy sher-
ifs looking for him several days, Ryan
has managed to evade arrest and has
not been seen in public. Even now,
with the judges reprieve staying ex-
ecution of sentence, he is keeping his
whereabouts a secret.
II am ready to accept my punish
ment," said Ryan. Much has been
said about the alleged crime of which
l have been convicted, but the exact
truth of what really transpired in the
election booth on the day in question
has never been told"
With success meeting her efforts for
reprieve, Miss Catherine Ryan, a sis
ter, has started petition in the Twen-
tieth ward, where Ryan's crime was
committed. Petitions that are being
circulated are being signed by Ryan's
neighbors and friends and it is
planned to present them before the
governor and pardon board at the
earliest opportunity.

Expensive to the MiIIers.

Columbus, o. - State Dairy and
Food Commissioner Dunlap states
that the ruling of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, prohibiting
the bleaching of flour by nitrogen per-
oxide, will result in loss of thousands
of dollars to Ohio millers, most of
whom have expensive machinery in
stalled for the bleaching process. They
also have an immense quantity of
bleached flour in stock and if this can
not be disposed of within six months
it will be dead loss to them.

UNDERWATER WIRELESS.
New System Of Communication by
Means Of Submarine Sound Waves.

John Gardner, the English scientist
purposes accomplishing by means Of
submarine sound waves very much
what Is now possible through the
agency of Hertzian waves, but he has
1t in his power easily to improve upon
the latter by preventing the purpose
of his sound waves being blocked or
interfered with by other sound waves
set up by some one else either acci
dentally or Intentionally. In wireless
telegraphy and in distant control by
wireless impulses or waves, the rapid
and continuous sending of series Of
other waves will produce what is
technically known as interference.
which has the same effect that two
people speaking rapidly at the same
time have upon a listener-there
would be a confusion and but little
proper understanding. 1t was to pro-
vide against this difficulty that Mr.
Gardner discovered and developed his
present system of sound control.
Mr.. Gardner has recourse to two
simple elements in the get-up of his
apparatus. One is thin strip or tape
of metal which he can tauten just
as one does the string on an instru-
ment so as to vary its pitch, and the
other is a small and very delicately-
adjusted microphone. Having tuned
his metallic strip to the desired key,
Mr.. Gardner places upon this strip
one of the two small carbons of
his microphone. When the right
sound waves reach the receiver
then and only then, the intimacy
of contact between the two car.
bons is broken, the electrical cur.
rent is interfered with, and the index
hand swings to one side far enough to
close or make" second and more
powerful electrical circuit. This sec.
ond circuit, says Technical World
Magazine, is strong enough to set In
motion certain mechanical functions
the order in which these functions or
movements take place depending upon
the number of times and the interval
between the arrival of the proper dis
turbing note. Any instrument or any
medium that will produce the re-
quired tone will answer to set the nee.
essary operations in motion, first by
disturbing the vibrator, second by
varying the current flowing through
the carbon pencils of the microphone,
and thirdly by closing the more pow.
erful current so that the necessary
electrical energy can flow to the vari-
Gus points and cause the movement Of
the several mechanical features.
Mr. Gardner's laboratory apparatus
which in working principle is identi-
cal with that installed in his subma-
rine boat-was made to go through
the various movements of revolv-
ing small propeller, swinging a
rudder from side to side, and in ex-
pelling miniature dummy torpedo
Each and every one of these opera
tions was proved to be unfailingly re-
sponsive to the utterance or sound
ing of the proper note in the required
order.

Mark Twain on Money.

Mark Twain, at a dinner in New
York, said that the recent financial panic
had been caused by the removal from
the coinage of the motto I'm God We
Trust"
Afterward with a smile he appended
to that statement:
"Of course | am joking. The panic
was caused by a wrong idea Of the uge
and value Of money. That is the cause
Of all money troubles.
The spcndthrift says that money, be.
ing round, was made to roll. The miser
says that, being fiat, it was made to
stock up. Both are wrong.
Strangely wrong, too, in their IDEAS
about money are the veteran Australian
gold diggers. These simple old fellows,
though worth, perhaps a half million or
more, live in the simple dugouts and
shanties Of their lean early lays They
have no conception of the value Tor Their
money they could get in the way of mo-
tor cars, diamonds and opera boxes.
Their conception Of luxury is q trip to
town, a silk dress for the wife, aud
maybe a whisky spree.

MAKING TALL MEN.
Japanese Army Medical Staff Are Max
ing Their Soldiers Bigger.

This question of size was first taken
up by the Japanese army surgeons, who
were interested in securing recruits of
suitable stature and development for
the ranks. After long experience in
examining men for military service and
careful comparison of results with
similar experiences abroad the Japa-
nese medical men became convinced of
the necessity OF making the matter a
subject of national Importance, until
now there is well marked determine
ton to leave no means untried to make
the japanese soldiers physically equal TO
the European regular, says the Detroit
New Tribune.
Consequently the medical staff of the
Japanese army has for some years been
putting the native soldier through a
strict course of gymnastic and dietary
discipline, insisting that the movement
be carried into the homes of the people
until all should be obsessed with the de-
sire to grow tall or produce progeny
with this qualification for citizenship.
Mothers and nurses are being advised
not to carry babies on their backs. as the
custom is deemed sufficient to account
for the prevalence of handy legs among
the japanese. The nation is besought
and the soldiers are required to sit on
something higher than the floor. The
KIND and quality of the exercise and
diet for the army and navy are carefully
regulated to comply with foreign Gus
toms, in addition to the special ex-
pedients for increasing stature.
1t is interesting to note that these ex-
periments are regarded as on the whole
satisfactory, The army surgeons aver
that in the few years that they have
been able to give any proper attention to
the subject the physical condition of the
Japanese soldier has shown marked inn
provement and that even an appreciate
increase of stature can be noticed.
This frank endeavor after so extraordi-
nary an achievement as an increase of
stature does much to dispel the impress
sion that the Japanese are for the most
part a nation of mere imitators. with n
conspicuous lack of inventive power. If
we except DR. Shimose, who invented
the famous explosive to the destructive
effect of which Japan owed so much of
her success in the late war. and the uni
yersity professor who invented her So
eret system of wireless teegraphy, the
nation has not shown any great talent
in this direction.
Yet all its uses of western inventions
are never exactly the same as in the oc-
cident; in the process of adoption there
is always n conspicuous tendency to
adaptation, which in some cases amounts
to marked improvement on the original
device, If not a real invention.
