IS FOR THE PEOPLE.
AN IMPORTANT TELEPHONE DIS
covERY MADE BY AN
ARMY OFFICER.
GIVES IT TO The UNITED STATES
Signal Corps Makes MuItiplex Teie'
phony Posslble-one Wire for Sew
era conversations--Great Thing for
Party Lines.

Washington. Jan General Allen
chief OF the signal corps of the United
States army announces new inYen'
ton of the telephone which will revo-
lutionize the history OF that instru-
ment throughout the world.
The signal corps has discovered that
multlplex telephony is practicable, or
In other words, that several indepen-
dent conversations may be carried on
simultaneously on a single wire cir
cult. A very notable feature OF the
invention is that it has been made
and patented for the benefit OF tho
people at large. The invention cannot
be appropriated by one corporation OF
individual or trust. 1t is the inyen
ton of an army officer and belongs
to the people of the United States.
One Of the special features OF the
invention is that TO constitute CIT
cult two wires is not necessary. One
wire is sufficient. This is a repeti-
ton of the wonderful invention in te-
Biography some years ago when it was
demonstrated that the earth itself
could be substituted for one OF the
two wires which they thought neces'
sary to establish circuit
General Allen in his announcement
states that all the necessary instru.
ments required in the new scheme oil
telephonIng are already developed and
can be purchased from dealers in the
open market. 1t is further announced
that in order to get the benefit OF adj
ditional conversations upon single
wire circuit it is not necessary to in.
terfere" in the slightest degree with
the operations of the present telephone
installations which remain unchanged.
Positive proof of the practicability
of the invention Is offered by General
Allen in the fact that there is now In
operation a system giving two indie
pendent telephone conversations over
single wire which runs from the
laboratory OF the signal corps of the
bureau of standards and the signal
corps construction laboratory on Penn
sylvania avenue, a distance of about
three miles.
The gift of the invention to the peo-
pie of the United States is contained
In the following from the official an
nouncement:
"The unrestricted use of this meth
cd is free to all people of the United
States and there is no royalty or other
expenses attached to the use of this
system"
The invention is covered by four
patents which were issued today by
the commissioner of patents.
Statisticians who have given atten-
ton to the possibilities of the new
system as applied to telephone COM
panies say that the American Tele.
phone and Telegraph company, for in
stance. could save s42.O00,0O0 a year
If it made use of the war departments
discovery.
The secret Of the invention is the
application of wireless communication,
the wireless messages being controll-
ed as to direction by single metallic
wire This is seeming paradox as
wire is used in the transmission OF
wireless messages in a confined space,
but the important discovery is the
control Of the wireless by a wire base.

NEW YORK MIGRANTS
DOUBLE IN NUMBER

NEW YORK, May 15.-From the count
kept at the municipal lodging houses of
the homeless who seek shelter there, 1t
is deduced that Migrants have doubled
in number in New York recently. Last

as compared with 1850 in April. 1910. This
years figures are five times the record
for April, 1907. Officers of the charity
organization society say THAI the increase
is not confined to the city, but Is no
ticeable all over the country.
Records show that the vagrancy evil
is assuming alarming proportions" says

dition is the establishment of farm colo
mics where the labor of these men may

FARM LABOR Is
THE MOST DANGEROUS

NEW YORK, May 15.-That farm life is
a more perilous occupation than that of
the artisan or factory employee is shown
by an exposition of industrial accident
statistics at the convention of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers here
today. The total number of mishaps
resulting in temporary disability, it is
shown that As per cent occur in agricultu-
raj pursuits, nine each in iron and steel
trades and in building operations and 5
1-2 per cent in mining.
1t is explained that it is natural that
the agricultural laborer should be es-
pecially subject to accident, for he has
to handle teams, machinery and explo-
sives, and is too much of jack of all
trades to be skilled in any one. Modern
methods also increases the risk of the
occupation, for Canadian records show
that a percentage of deaths increased
steadily from II per cent in 1904 to 20 per
cent in 1909.

NEW FLOWERS MAY
SUPPLANT THE OLD

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. May he. H.
Wilson, of the Harvard Arboretum, has
returned to Harvard after two years in
China, bringing with him many new spe-
cies of plant life. The new plants in
cludee lilies, hedge grens clematis, vines,
berries and other flowers, which, it is
believed within a few years, will supplant
the species hitherto known to botanists,
and will create new race of beautiful
flowers and useful berries. One of his
treasures is plant that will make a
hedge so dense that 1t can be cut almost
as thin as a fence and will stay green
great part of the year.
