TALKING FROM ONE
TRAIN TO ANOTHER
NEXT STEP PLANNED
Englishman's "Railophone"
May Make the Feat
Possible.

Consul General John L. Grifiths, OF
London, calls attention to the first OF
series of tests of a new invention
called the "railophone," which was re-
Gently made at Stratford-on-Avon. The
invention is an apparatus to telephone
from one moving train to another and
from a moving train to station along
the railway. The belief is expressed by
the inventor that his system will ac-
complish for railways what wireless
telegraphy has done for vessels. About
eight months ago the first details OF
this new system of telephoning were
published, but since then the scope
of the invention has been greatly IN
creased.
The apparatus begins and ends with
telephone in the train and at certain
stations, and signal boxes along the
line on which the train Is travelling The
principle is that of electromagnetic in
duction. A coil Of wire starting from
the telephone in the train Is wound
about the railway carriage on the out
side. Laid under the ground or a Few
feet above 1t, parallel with the ralls' ls
another wire connected with the tele-
phone at the station and signal boxes
and from them with the whole telephone
system in the country.
The vibrations of the voice through
the transmitter in the train produces
currents in the wire frame round the
railway carriage, and these impulses
are .'inducted" into the stationary
ground wire.
Mr. Griffiths says If the experiments
now being made prove successful the
signal boxes and stations on railways
can be connected with the general tel
egraph and telephone systems so that
il will be possible to transmit and re-
ceive kilograms and telephone messages
ta and from a moving train.

old fellow was asked.
"T was cook, sab, fo' a Confederate

If Patience Is Virtue,
Then Here Is Virtue

Prof w. Lawson Tall. apropos of
the new serum cure for hay fever. said
at a medical banquet in Denver:
This cure is the result of patience,
the result of much patient toll Indeed,
when I think of the patient waiting in
volved in the perfectlng Of this cure,
| am reminded of DR.. Sawyer's ante
room.
'Dr. Bob Sawyer stepped proudly into
his anteroom one day. There were quite
eight or nine persons there. And DR..
Bob, looking from one face to another
with complaisance, said:
We'll, who comes first? Who's
been waiting the longest"

paid bill I've been waiting over

NATIONAL LEAGUE
PRESIDENT PROBES
ATTACK BY hAGEE
Philadelphia Left Fielder
Expected to Be Severely
Punished.

PHILADELPHIA. July 12.-President
Lynch, Of the National League, has
been in this city to investigate the dis
graceful assault that Sherwood Magee,
the Phillies' brilliant left fielder, made
on Umpire Finneran in the game with
St.. Louis Monday afternoon.
When the head of the National
League heard of the assault he i'm
mediately suspended Magee indefinitely,
and when he returned to New York
last night, he ordered that the left
fielder be fined 500. This is the most
severe fine that the president of the
league can impose or a player but
Magee's troubles are by no means end
ed, for Mr.. Lynch has taken no def
mite action In regard to the length of
his suspension.
Punishment to Be Severe.
The fact that Mr.. Lynch fined Magee
the limit rather indicates that his pun
ishment is going to be severe. If, in
dealing with the Magee case, he finds
the act of Sherwood serious enough to
justify his fining him the largest
amount of money that he can assess
player, it does not seem reasonable to
think that his going to be lenient in
fixing the number of days that Magee
can't play in a championship game.
Magee saw the game from the club
house window yesterday. although there
were reports that he was at his home
Ill in bed. Magee. however, is much
detected over his break of Monday.
He fully realizes the enormity of his
offense and would give a seasons
salary to undo the incident of the clos
ing contest of the series with st. Louis.
Say Magee Is ILL.,
Friends of Magee declare that he is
i'll. and that on Sunday in Atlantic City
he was seized with an attack. He is
always the first player to suffer from
the effects of hot weather. The club
physician declares that he mas been
considering performing an operation on
Magees head TO correct injuries that
resulted from his fall out OF window
at the Junction Hotel several years ago.
President Lynch kept in hiding here,
and saw nobody but the UmpIres. Fin
neran and Rigler. He had a personal
talk with Finneran and examined his
injuries
Fogel Not Interviewed.
Newspaper reporters were unable to
see President Fogel. of the Phillies. be-
cause he Is at his summer home in
Amber, ILL., 1t is expected that he will
be at his desk in the Stephen Girard
building today. Mr.. Fogel has made
no answer as yet to the open letter in
the North American yesterday.
The real sufferer of Magee's break,
Manager Charles Doom, is the object of
much sympathy from the fans There
is a fine spirit in the Phil team, and
Manager Doom declares that his club
will win the pennant even II Magee
gets a long suspension. TIE players
declare that they will work like galley
slaves to keep the team on top in the
present trouble.

PRECIOUS SPRUCES
IN MAINE RUINED
BY RED SQUIRRELS
Little Animals of No Value
and Hunters Don't Waste
Shot on Them.

Rer squirrels ar destroying the spruce
forest prospects of Maine so much fast
er than the axes, according to George
w. Cooper of Patten, an old lumber
man and woodsman, that there is no
comparison. He says there will be
comparatively little second growth un-
less the red squirrels are destroyed, be-
cause they eat the seeds of the spruce
as fast as they mature. When asked
why they have not destroyed the spruce
growth before, Cooper says the sable

Animals of No Use.
Nobody wants the squirrels for any
use. and the hunters do not waste shot
on them. They make the woods ring
with their chatter and eat the spruce
buds for their favorite diet Cooper
says 1t is wasteful for the Government
to be sowing millions Of pine tree seed
in the West while the northern hills of
Maine might be kept covered by sue
cessfve growIhS OF spruce II the
Government would but protect the sable
and allow them to protect the spruce
buds, so that thousands Of acres Of land
might be annually free with the best
lumber seed in the country.
He showed that bushels of spruce seed
may be picked up under the trees Of
northern Maine. but none of it will
grow because the red squirrels have
ruined 1t by their picking out of the
hearts. He says one Of the papermak-
ing companies is setting southern Maine
to spruce trees from Norway. when 1t
might better take the seed Of the hardy
Maine spruce of the northern section of
that State or SOW seed from them, only
that II cannot find the seed In condition

Bungling In Forestry.
That is one more of the bungIins
methods Of Americans in looking ont

pests. There is so much confounding
