Push African Railroad.

The work of constructing the Cape
to Cairo railroad is to be started
again in the near future, says the Sci
entific American. The present end OF
the line is $40 miles north of Victoria
Falls, and it is expected to carry the
line into the Congo copper district
during the present season. The new
line will not be an all-rail route. A
considerable part of the distance will
be covered by steamers on the great

his pipe and went out into the storm

God bless and preserve the engin-
eer. On all pages of history there are
no braver records than those made
by railroad engineers. We have heard
of the driver, who, not long since on
one of the great trunk lines of the
west, with hand on the throttle, sound
ed the alarm, and whistled himself
down SO feet into the murky waters
and into the presence of his Maker;
never deserting his post in the plunge
which was fatal to 63 out of 81 souls
He was found at the bottom of the
river, his hand firmly holding the
lever his compressed lips telling the
story of his noble death, We have
heard of him time and again. We
have stood by the driver on the engine
in the hour of sudden danger and
seen how brave man would act when
the grim reaper, Death, reached out
his bony hand as we whiried past the
door of eternity, so widely opened
that we could almost hear the voices
of those within. We have seen en-
gineers in danger scores Of times, but
we never yet saw one desert his post.

seriously to make some little prepare
tion and study of at least the ele-
mentary principles of the theory of
the government he was chosen to help
administer. And yet how many
Vermont legislators of this class, in
the time between their nomination
and the oath of office, take the pains
to read the constitution of Vermont
to make some inquiry as to the rules
and order of procedure of the legis-
lature, to inform themselves by spe-
cial study upon the principal elements
of the American system of civil gov
eminent, and to do other similar
things of self-improvement that will
at least enable them to approach their
task from the viewpoint of a little
broader intelligence, a little more
certain knowledge, than they were
wont to have?
After all, viewing the Vermont leg
islature in the practical and common
sense attitude of appreciation of the
normal limitations of all human ma
ture and tne imperfection of all men,
however well intentioned and pa
triotic. the essential fault of the
legislator is not lack of good purpose
but lack of preparation He rushes

HERALD HAS WIRELESS
Boston Paper InstaIIs First Apparatus
in New England.

The Boston Herald has installed
and put into operation for the collec-
ton of news the first wireless send
ing and receiving apparatus were used
by a New England newspaper. The
range of the plant, which is fitted
with some of the most perfect appli-
ances known to electrical science, is
such as to put The Herald, either di-
rectly or indirectly, in communication
with wireless operators on land and
sea in all parts of the world.
Under ordinary conditions, the pow
er of the apparatus enables it to have
direct messages from places as dis
tant as the Isthmus of Panama, and
from steamers 1000 miles out on the
ocean; wnen conditions are favorable
these distances are much exceeded,
a range of at least 1000 to $500 miles
being attainable. AS the electrical
pulses travel through the ether at
the speed of light, a message sent
out from the antennae located at the
top of The Herald building on Ire
mont street would compass quarter
of the circumference of the globe in
the 1-90th of a second.
A special feature of The Heralds
wireless plant is the highly sensitive
electrically tuned receiver, which pre-
vents the confusion due to interior
ing" waves, and enables the operator
to select the messages destined for
his particular station. The vast ex-
tension of The Herald's news service
effected by its wireless plant was re-

vestigated this matter. Over 200 wit nesses were examined. The negro sol diers themselves testified, and the evil dnce established the guilt of the negro soldiers.
 'The then President of the United States, MT. Roosevelt, declared that this was the blackest crime ever committed in the history of the American army.
 "The authorities offered to allow the innocent soldiers if the ere were any. to remain In the army if they would give the names of the guilty parties, but they refused to do it.
 "Mr Hobson now undertakes to es cape the righteous wrath of an indig nant people by going out of his way to charge me with being a demagogue because I denied that he reflected the feelings and sentiments of the inte( ligent and patriotic white people of the south when he voted to restore to ser vice in the United States army the ne- gro soldiers of the Brownsville murder.
 "He may dodge and befog the issue if he will.
 "But the scent of the negro soldiers will hang round him still.
 There are two rumors a1oat as to why Mr. Hobson cast his vote in favor of the negro soldiers-one is that should he be defeated the republican auth critics would name him to a good position in the navy; and the other Is that the position taken would increase the gate receipts to his lectures and help him in the north ern field. A glance, I am told, at MT. Hobson's itinerary of last year and this year will disclose the fact that he has more calls in the north since he voted for the ne- grOeS,"

CZEGKA TAKES
 WIMBLEDON CUP

Camp Perry, O., August S0.-Under perfect shooting conditions in fields of 163 and 153 respectively today was fought out the National Rifle associa- tioa,s battles for it's two most valued oups-the $500 Wimbledon, presented to the National Rifle Association of Amer ica by the National Rifle Association of Great Britain, and the Leech cup. Ser vice marksmen won both cups.
 Sergeant Victor H. Cregka of the United State marine corps, whose hone is in Washington, D. C., took the Vim bledon in 20 shots at 1000 yards with a 9s, and Second Lieut.. Joseph S. Top ham of the Sixteenth United States in fantry, a native of Lawrence, Kan, who is stationed at Fort Leavenworth, shot Up the camp in the Leech match with the score of 103 out of 1o5-seven shots at SOC, 900 and 1000 yards.
 Czegka's score is one point better than that by which Captain Casey of Delaware, Pa, broke the match record g year ago. Lieutenant Topham's ] , is one short of Casey's worlds recofd year ago. Casey was in the race to- day but failed to land in the money
 It was a good dead of a field day fI' the regulars, who took both cups, and in the Wimbledon, landed 16 represen- tatives in the 20 Wimbledon leaders.
 The 10 leaders scored as follows
 Wimbledon Cup Match-Sergean Vic tor H. Czegka, U. S. M. C., 98; Coporal William A. Fragner, U. s. M. C., 97; Capt. Ben South, Ohio, ST; Lieut.

 The long range individual tyro match was won by Lieut.. c. L. Test of l the Fourth Texas, who performed the ! feat of scoring a possible 50 at 10CO ] yards.
 l The most spectacular feature of the 1 tournament was the Evans skirmi sf I match, which will be concluded tomor-
 row. Teams of 16 in pairs shoot al i one anothers targets. The targets ss- l appear when they are hit as men dror 1 by the way down the skirmish field wh CT
 they are killed-that is, when theiI | targets are hit. The team which first 1 kills" all its opponents targets wins. The cavalry beat Ohio, the District of Columbia defeated the marine corps

LONGEST TELEGRAPH CIRCUIT.
1t Is 4ooo Miles Long, Extending From
 London to Teheran, in Persia.
From the London Daily News.

From the London Daily News.
 Persia and its capital, Teheran, have been very much before the public lately, but probably few people are aware that the news which has come through to London has passed over the longest tel egraphic circuit in the world
 The distance between London and Te- heran by wire is 4000 miles and the op- orator in Teheran communicates direct with the operator at the London end, automatic repeaters taking the place of operators at ten places along the cir cult.
 The first repeating station from Lon don is at Lowestoft. where the wires enter the North sea, beneath which they run for 200 miles to Emden, Hanover, where the second automatic repeater con tinues the message.
 Thence 1t is flashed to Berlin, War saw, Rouno, Odessa Kertch, Sukhum Kalch, Tifis and Tauris, from each of which stations 1t is instantaneously for warded without human intervention, the telegraphist at Teheran, who receives the message from Tauris, being the first operator to handle 1t since 1t left Lon- don. From Teheran the line then ex- tends to India, but nowhere else is there a circuit so long as that between Tehe- ran and London.
