TELEGRAPH MACHINE

"a revolution in the sending and
receiving of telegraph messages !:
gradually taking place throughout the
United States owing to the telegraph
printing machines which are being in.
stalled in the metropolitan Offices Of
the telegraph companies" says the
July Popular Mechanics.
"In sending, the messages are
punched or spelled out in the Morse
character on an endless tape. The
tape is then fed into sending ma
chine where a wheel moves it along
and in the right direction. The holes
in the tape allow contacts to be made
which control the receiving mechan-
ism.
"The receiving machine is some
what like an electrically controlled
typewriter Electrical contacts made
through the holes in the tape cause
the proper type bars to be struck, So
fast is this automatic working that
the girl operators can receive and
send from 200 to 400 messages in 9
hours with one machine. The ma
chimes work duplex, two messages be-
ing sent at the same time" The ar
ticle is illustrated,

A MODEL HOME.

A house OF cement; house with
out a chimney; house with plenty
OF artificial light and heat and yet
without bit of FIRE; house without
coal without ashes; without danger
Gus gases such is to be the house OF
tomorrow. So writes Frank N. Baus-
kett in the Technical World Maza-
zine for July
This is indeed and ideal house, and
it is not impossible to have, for, with
little trouble one has just been COM
plcted at Carrollton, illinois. While
this wonderful home is the only one
of its kind in the world, il is a good
example OF what the average Ameri-
can home vii be in few years from
now.
! Wood is fast becoming too scarce
and too high in price to be used as
common building material, and the
time is already here, when, for econ
omy's sake, architects ard contract
ors are figuring to construct all build
ings OF steel and concrete, As the
supply OF coal diminishes the cost is
advancing so that everything possible
is being done to husband the supply
and to see that none of the precious
stored heat is wasted. Electricity,
generated by water power, is even
now taking the place of coal as a
source OF power and the time is not
far distant when it will rank first as
a source of heat
This model twentieth-centary home
at Carrollton, is thirty-four by thirty
feet, two stories high, with attic and
basement, and has eight rooms on the
two main floors. While Edison's idea
of concrete house to be poured into
one big mould was carried out IN its
conctruction. The foundation and
walls are OF concrete blocks, These
blocks were moulded right on the
ground as they were required, so
there was no waste of material. The
floors are of hardwood and interior
is finished in plaster and oak. Such a
house requires but little wood in Its
construction. The style OF architect
pre- is OF plain, substantial mission
type, this idea being carried out
throughout the interior The house is
fronted with large porch, and the
whole construction, or rather the
entire cost was less than $1,000
The house is described at length IN
the balance OF an interesting, we'll

Of the Southwest pass of the Missis-
sippi river. So writes Howard w.
Blakeslee in the Technical World
Magazine for July This channel,
which is capable OF giving passage to
the largest steamers either ahoat or
projected, cuts through the bar which
the Mississippps vast silt deposits are
always heaping up at its mouth. 1t
lies in a sort OF middle ground be-
tween the sea and terra frma, in a
region which is still receiving from
the river the final touches OF its con-
formation, and in which the work OF
construction was hampered by pecul-
lar difficulties. The engineers in
charge of this work constructed at
the shallow mouth of the pass two
nearly parrellel walls, lying over halt
a mile apart, and each between three
and four miles long, which served
practically as backbones to guide the
mud depositing OF the river. These
walls, known as jetties, by con6ning
the water gave it a rapidity of flow
which, aided by dredging, is securing
out a channel, to have a minimum
depth of thirty-fve feet and a central
depth considerably greater The min
imum depth will obtain for width OF
somewhat less than 1000 feet. With
this introduction, the writer describes
in interesting fashion the engineering
enterprise which is to make the

National Guard Armed With
+. SpringileIds
BETTER OFF THAN THE NAVY
National Guard, Like the Army, is
Equipped With Modern Springfelds
But Navy and Marine Corps Are
Fitted Out With Krag-J -Jorgenson's

WASHINGTON, d. G, June io--
II is an interesting fact that the Ma
tional Guard Of the various states and
territories are equipped with better
rifles than the u. S. Navy and Marine
Corps. The former, like the army,
has been armed with Model 1908,
popularly known as the New Spring
field, while the navy continues 70 use
the Krag. This is not, however, the
fault OF the naval authorities who
would be only too pleased 70 change
70 the new rifle but alas, there is no
money available II would cost about
Si,0O000O to equip the navy and
marine corpse with New springhelds
and as Congress did not appropriate
the money and no other fund is avail
able these branches Of the service
will continue using the Krags. The
teams from the navy, marine corps
and naval academy which will shoot
in the national. matches at Camp
Perry, however. will use the new
rifles the department having purchas-
cd hundred OF them from the war
department, TO be used in the trials
now in progress and in the matches.
There Is 4 warm but generous rivalry
between the army and the navy over
these matches and extensive prepara-
tions are being made by both services
10 win the National Trophy, The
army brought from the Philippines a
dozen OF the best experts stationed
there TO compete for places on the in
fantry and cavalry teams, while the
navy has detached from the feet now
in Pacific waters the following: En-
signs Dortch, Doherty, Wilcox and
White, and Midshipmen Osborn,
Lewis, Woodward and Amsdcn.
They will proceed to Annapolis
where the contests for places on the
naval and naval academy teams will
be held. Early next month both
teams will go to Comp Perry, Ohio,
where they will practice constantly
until the matches, The army teams
will be trained at Fort Sheridan and
Fort Ethan Allen, and then proceed
TO Camp Perry. Last year the navy
team won the trophy and midship-
man won the national individual rifle
and the national pistol matches. The
army proposes TO carry off the honor
II possible, while the navy intends to
hold them,
II is not likely the naval militia
will be equipped with the new army
rifles for some time to come. Oc-
cupying a somewhat anamalous posi-
ton they cannot be equipped from
the regular fund available to the land
forces and the total appropriation for
the naval militia is only 100000
which must be divided among nine
teen organizations according TO their
strength, Should the commanders
desire ii, however, it is understood a
portion OF the quota for their com.
mands may be used for this purpose
The state Of Ohio is making elab-
crate preparations to entertain the
crack military shots Of the United
States at the National Matches in
August the more so as it will pro-
badly be some years before the
matches are again held on that range
There will be almost a thousand
team members and substitutes in at
tendance on the National Team

every state and territory, and all
