wIreIe.. TeIephone from rrnin.

Wireless telephoning from a moving train
was accomplished the other day for the
first time in England with complete sue
cess on stretch OF railway line four miles

Bridges, on the Brighton railway Mr.
Henry Won Kramer, the inventor, who con-
Quoted the experiment, is an electrical en-
gineer, trained at Munich, and now en-
gagged in business at Birmingham For
four years he has been working out the
system in his private workshop. For the
purpose OF the experiment a double line OF
wire was laid along the sleepers between
Horley and Three Bridges One telephone
apparatus was placed in the brakeman OF
the ESQ p. m. train from London Bridge,
the other was in the signal box at Three
Bridges. As the train entered the circuit at
Horley, Mr.. Won Kramer placed the receiver
to his ears, and conversation took place
while the train was running at forty miles
an hour. railway official then took the
telephone and. talking 10 an inspector at
Three Bridges, asked him 20 repeat the
message This was satisfactorily done.
And the inventor then had another success
ful conversation. The fact which distin-
guishes Mr.. Won Kramer's system from
any other previously tried IN England or
America IS that there is no contact by
brush between the moving train and the

ceived as the result. Prof. Thompson, how
ever. says the Electrical World, recently
succeeded in demonstrating real
physiological effect due to magnetism.

with an alternating electromagnetic which
had been constructed for showing Prof
Elihu Thomsons well-known experiments

Kelvins mention of the negative results in
Lord Crawford's experiments. he further
explored the matter, and found a means Of
producing the visual effect (Which is sub
jective and physiologlcaD in a way that
succeeds with every person on whom it has
yet been tried.
An alternating and magnetic field of
sufficient intensity and extent was pro-
duced by passing an alternating electric
current around a specially constructed mag
netizing coil On inserting the head into
the interior OF the coil in the dark, or with
the eyes closed, there is perceived over the
whole region of vision a faint Pickering
illumination, colorless or of slightly blu
ish tint The period of the flicker is not

same over the whole region of vision at
the same time, nor is It equally bright
over the whole region OF vision. but is
somewhat brighter in the peripheral re-
gion than in the central parts. Even in
daylight with the eyes open. one is con-
scious of a sensation OF flicker super

Thompson or by any OF the persons who
have made the experiments with him.

In some instances the village grocer or
butcher pays the monthly rent of tele-

his store during the month. He gets his
money back through augmented business
and a reduction in his staff OF order men.

The Grand was taxed to capacity
again last night and a great many
were compelled to wait as much as
forty-five minutes for the second pro-
ductiOn of the show.
The bill now being presented justly
deserves the liberal patronage it Is
being accorded, and as the matinee to-
day at $3.50 and the two shows tonight
at 8 and 915 will be the last chance
to see this all star bill, there will I'M
doubtedly be another large attend
ance.
There will be an entire change of
bill tomorrow night, with the follow
ing feature attractions on the bill:
The Great Wilbur, Ventriloquist,
featuring Myrtle" the Human Doll,
the only live dummy, dancing on her
heels.
L. Rives, female character and i'm
personater, will also be on the boards
and he is said to be one of the best
in his line.
Evelyn Dare will sing, "All the

led by a beautiful set of slides.
There will be the usual Grandscope

Where Ears Grow Sharp.

A French balloonist has recorded the
clearness with which sounds coming
from the surface of the ground can be
heard at a high altitude. At the
height of 1000 feet the ringing Of
horses hoofs on hard road was
clearly audible. At 1900 feet the
splashing sound made by ducks in a
pond was heard The barking Of dogs
and the growing Of cocks could be
heard at seven or eight thousand feet.
These sounds penetrated through

"sent to Devile Lake by Governor
Burke" as some of the over-zealous DEM
ocratic organs proclaim, for the purpose
of cleaning up the town. That Governor
Burke is in favor of the move. and any
move for good government, is very true,
but he does not have to instruct the
attorney general. nor has he sent" him
anywhere. From the tone Of some of
the democratic organs one might be led
to believe that all the virtue of the pres
ent administration hovers around the eN-
ecutive mansion, but this is not true. The
governor has worked in harmony with
his cabinet. and the other officials have
worked in consonance with him on many
matters of public policy and the general
good, and it will be we'll that the public
vision may not be too narrow.

Today a complete change OF the en-

Mabel Johnston, the great lady ven

Not many years ago, Prison Sun
day" was inaugurated in this coun'
try, being designated as the fourth
Sunday in October.
The move was certainly In the right
direction, as too few people, including
the ministry, had adequate informa'
ton with regard to the nations sub
merged class-those so unfortunate as
to be behind prison bars. Until quite
recent years, no particular effort was
made to study the "criminal' from
the point of view of his possible res
toration to society as good citizen.
The fact is only too patent that men
came forth from penal institutions
more confirmed in evil desires than
upon entering the same. The state
was at fault, but did not seem to
sense it. Now it is freely admitted
that a large portion of those incar'
cerated may be so helped by the state
and other agencies that upon emery
ing from prison their chiefest desire
will be to make good citizens, and II
given any sort of a chance at all will
make good"
While there is much speculation yet
as to the best procedure in handling
the big subject of crime and Grim
inology, yet it may safely be stated
that great advancement has been
made in recent pears. Many prisons
now have schools established in con-
nection with their institutions. The
writer visited the state penitentiary
of Kansas about year ago and was
pleased to learn of the beneficial re-
suits of a recently introduced school
system. He was told by the chap
lain in charge that the men who had
had next to no schooling generally

PRISON SUNDAY
By George B. Newcomb, State Superintendent

were eager to improve themselves In
this respect. However, some were
compelled against their will to enter
the school, the state taking the POSI-
ton that as the men would be better
fitted to cope with life after their re-
lease, it was therefore incumbent up
on the state to so fit them.
It has also been learned that q
great prevention to crime is proper
training during early youth. AS chap
lain, the writer has been told time
and time again by the inmates OF
our own prison that had they had the
right bringing up, together with q
fair schooling, the iron gate would
never have swung open to receive
them.
The International Prison Congress,
whose quinquennial session has just
closed at the national capital, had for
its speakers some men of information
al fame, who have made it life study
to know how to deal with crime, pre-
ventive and reformative, and to show
the scope of the congress the follow
ing general heads are appended:
Penal legislation; prison administra-
ton; preventive means; questions re-
lating to children and to minors.
Our own state circulating library at
the capitol has, and is obtaining 9TH
err, books which are very readable on
this subject, which maye be had for
the asking.
The ministry and the moral reform
ers can we'll afford to become familiar
with this particular phase of sociol-
ogy, for be it assured it affords oppor-
tunities for great good to those enter
ing in.
