end Of the bar A moves between two
contact points D. made of ordinary
screw eyes. These are screwed into
posts c, made of one-half-inch dowel

The whole is fastened In an invert-

place where there Is danger of over
heating. After the contact points are
adjusted to close the circuit at the
proper temperature they are connected
up to an electric bell and battery as

is CONTROLLED BY WIRELESS
Frenehman lnvents Torpedo Which 10
Operated by Waves-successfuI
Experiment.

A French inventor has come for
ward with a torpedo which he claims
can be controlled by wireless. The
continuance when out of water has
the appearance OF being two torpe-
does. one above the other, and about
six feet apart. The lower part is the
real torpedo. carrying q motor stor.
age battery. an apparatus for receiv-
ing the wireless or Hertzian waves,
and at the nose or forward end an
explosive charge weighing 1900
pounds. The ordinary torpedo only
carries a charge Of 200 pounds. The
upper part is merely the floater. When
placed in the water, the contrivance
sinks to the upper foater, which car
ries two masts and antennae for re-
ceiving the wireless waves. In the ex-
periments the inventor made use OF
an instrument somewhat resembling
a piano When he touched one Of the
keys the torpedo responded immedi-
ately. going to right OF left as direct.
ed. BY sending a varying number Of
waves he moved the rudder Of the
contrivsnce to right or left as he
pleased. The wireless waves do not
themselves operate the screw or rud.

APPARATUS TO SEE BY WIRE
German Scientist Details Use Of Sc.
lenium by Which points" Arc
Transmitted.

Dr.. Ernest Runner. aged 81. Ger.
man scientist, has perfected an appa.
ratus whereby a person may see by
wire things that are happening miles
away. In describing his work the doc.
tor said:
THE human eye. or what one sees
of 1t from the outside. consists. really.
of an infinite number Of little points
which are the tips of spikes. There
are 100000 OF them. On a picture.
or reproduction OF one, there are
also similar points, called in German
raster Compare the silver points
or particles on photograph. On the
picture seen by the eye there will be
100000 Of such raster. one for every
point in the eye. Color is produced
by the subdivision of each point into
three-red. green and yellow.
The whole problem of seeing BY
wire consists in transmitting accurate.
II and fast enough the relations Of
light and darkness of these points
Some points win be dark, some light.
selenium points will be dark. some
light. Selenium is susceptible to light
and darkness and transmits that sus-
ceptible to the electric rays"
At the receiving end OF the wire
there Is an apparatus for reproducing
the original effects of light and shade
at the sending end.
DR.. Runner is largely employed in
constructing his special selenium cells
for export to America. Large cases OF
them go by nearly every steamer.
Among the oldest problems ever set
him to solve was that presented by an
American coffee merchant. who in.
structed the young inventor to make
for him an instrument with se!enium
cell which would not only register
the different colors of coffee berries
passed over band in front OF 1t. but
could also be made to correctly sort
the beans. This problem has been
solved and the instrument. though
expensive. actually sorts the beans &C
cording to color.

JEWS IN AGRICULTURE.

The meeting Of the Federation Of
Jewish Farmers i'll this city has called
attention again to a desirable method
of simultaneously solving a large part
of the problem of congestion in this
city and vastly bettering the condition
of one of the largest and most needy
elements of our multitudinOus immi-
grafton. That was the view of jew
ish agriculture which was expressed ut
the opening of the three days meeting
by Mr Straus. the president of the Edu-
cational Alliance. and il is TO be hoped
that his sound advice will be largely
acted upon.
II is quite true that the vast majority
OF the Jews who come hither are not az
riculturists Throughout the world Jews
are engaged chiefly in mercantile or
manufacturing pursuits-proverbially the
former But it is equally true that they
were originally and in the best days of
their independent national existence a
conspicuously agricultural and pastoral
people Technical arts were largely and
commerce was almost entirely left TO
other nations. Ancient Jewish history
tells little of workshops. of banks Of
ships and caravans, but much OF vine
and fig tree, of fields and galuens. OF
fiocks and herds. The references to com
merce are references TO Tyre and Sidon,
Ia Egypt and to Tarshish.

SOME or ITS CONSEQUENCES.

We are glad 10 see that there exists
no disposition 10 hurry an acceptance Of
the Interboroughs proposition. It's at
tractiveness is plain. The prospect of a
system furnishing means of transit to
four boroughs for q single fare ana
reaching the utmost limits Of three Of
them is extremely alluring 10 the trav-
elling public. But. nevertheless, the pro-
posal deserves that careful considera-
ton by the public authorities which we
assume If viii receive.
II is nain that the plan means an
abandonment Of all idea of competition
in future subway development. II may he
said that at the expiration Of the lease
on the proposed new lines the city might
cut them apart from the existing sys-
tenn and set them up as an Independent
system. This Is true and ii constitutes
one check unon the abuses of the mOnoo-
oily provided in the plan. But the diff
Guilty of tearing them apart and com
peliing many passengers accustomed 20
use them as a single system 10 pay Il
SECOND fare would obviously he great.
And all future subway construction Is
almost certain 10 be made q part of this
system The pressure TO have new lines
share in the benefits to be derived from
being a part Of so comprehensive sys-
tenn would be wellnigh irresistible. This,
we admit. is confession of the ad-
vantage of monopoly, but ii makes IT
All the more necessary that the city
should enter upon this arrangement only
with its eyes open and after full con-
sideration of all the consequences en-
tailed
The plan proposed 10y fhe Interborough
il something of Il novelty. Though 1t
does not do 50 expressly il practically
commits the city 10 certain things to
which ii has never been committed be-
fore. For example. as we have already
said. II probably commits the city ef-
fectually to monopoly in subwaFs
Perhaps the benefits of monopoly out
weigh those Of competition. if a covenant
can he prepared which viii secure 10 the
city all these benefits with none of its
evils. We are far from saying nay. But
