WILL SAVE MILLIONS, TO PUBLIC USE.

repetition of the wonderful discovery
In telegraphy some years ago, when it
was demonstrated that the earth Itself
could be substituted for one of the two
wires which were thought necessary
to establish a circuit.
All the necessary instruments re-
CURED in the new scheme of telephon-
ing are already developed and can he
purchased from dealers in the open
market. It is further announced that
in order to get the benefit Of additional
conversations upon a single wire cir
cult 1t is not necessary to interfere
In the slightest degree with the opera
tons of the present telephone installa-
tons, which remain unchanged
Positive proof of the practicaility Of
the invention is offered In the fact
that there is now in operation a sys-
tenn giving two Independent telephone
conversations over a single wire which
runs from the laboratory of the signal
corps of the bureau of standards and
signal corps construction laboratory.

The gift of the invention to the PEG

In the following from the official an
nouncement:
'The unrestricted use of this method
is free to all people of the United
States, and there is no royalty or 9th
er expense attached to the use of this
system =
The invention is covered by four
patents.
This discovery was predicted thir-
ty-fve years ago by Thomas a. Edi-
son, when the prediction was regarded
more as a dream than a possibility.
It is stated by those familiar with the
working Of the new scheme that at
least four people can talk on the same
single telephone wire at once without
mutual interference.
Statfsticians who have given atten
ton to the possibilities of the new sys-
tenn say that the American Telephone
and Telegraph company could save
$40, 00o, coo year If it made use OF

ADMIRAL BARRY.

It would seem from yelled insinua-
tons that Admiral Barry of the United
States Navy, has been guilty of some
irldiscretion which would reflect the
greatest discredit on a younger and
gayer Lotlario. At least the surf1lise is
that there is a young woman in the case
who was disguised as man. At any
rate a situation which suddenly dawned
on an officer led to a report from which
the admiral, 81 years young, was given
the choice, limited through six-shooter,
sent te him but, not being disposed TO
Shuttle off this mortal coil in so radically
dramatic a programme, has rendered his
resignation.
Admiral Barry was COMMANDMENTS
chief Of the Pacific fleet, with headquar-
tiers at San Francisco, Cal, and has a
splendid record of good service.
That one who has so long since
reached the age of discretion should be
allured from his post of duty and be-
come entangled, even in the meshes of
lovely-loolzing woman, is proof of the
Adam which is in all mortals. It is I'M
fortunate for the admiral that he failed
to be guided by the e1arnple of Joseph,
If he was tempted, bit perhaps it was
the frail and lovely woman who was en-
ticed. At any rate, there is a scandal
ii the circles Of the United States Navy
and there will be a craving for details
if obtainable.
Perhaps it IS not so much the offend
ing Of Admiral Barry as is having been
caught which has illuminated in his hu-
initiation f not his disgrace.

AMERICAN APPETITE GROWS,
IF STATISTICS ARE RIGHT.
Not That We Eat More, but More Are
Eating.

In 1899 the American hen laid eggs
in sufficient numbers during the calels'
dar year to amount to seventeen dozen
for each inhabitant of the United
States. Omitting all thought of adding
a single egg to the individual share
of eggs, but merely to maintain the
1900 proportion of eggs to population,
the hens of the United States in 1910
must be laying annually 221, 100000
dozen more eggs than they laid in
1899.
The per capita product Of milk in the
year 1869 was 95.6 gallons per annum.
To maintain this per capita for the
benefit Of our increment of population,
says the Atlantic, the milk supply in
the year 1910 must exceed that of 1899
by !, 242, 100000 gallons.
To maintain butter, of which the per
capita produced in 1899 was fourteen
pounds, at the same per capita in 1910
the aggregate production must exceed
the former figure by 182,O00,000
pounds.
Of potatoes, that other staple of HUI
man consumption, the per capita prod
uct at the last census was about four
bushels; hence in 1910 to maintain the
potato supply for our newcomers, but
not to increase it for the rest of the
community to the extent of even one
potato each Zone potato apiece means
approximately 10000 bushels), there
must be raised 100000 bushels more
of this homely but useful vegetable
than were reported in 1899.
What this product means is best
noted by observing that to supply it
would consume the entire potato crop
as reported at the last census of the
states of California, Colorado, Illinois.

Major Squier in speaking of the rev

Consider for a minute that the report
of John ]. Carly, chief engineer of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company, states that this telephone
and telegraph company has 100000
miles of wire in operation. Consider
also that this report, made a month
ago, states that in the first six months
of 1910 the company he represents
spent $21 100000 for new construction
Of telephone and telegraph wires. If

Right of Way"
The annual meeting Of stockholders
of what is undoubtedly the most novel
line of railroad in Indiana has been
held and the usual dividend declared.
The company, which bears the preten-
tous name of the New Jersey, Indiana
and Illinois, operates five miles Of
crooked track from South Bend to the
main line Of the Wabash, i'm the south
ern part of st. Joseph county.
The annual meetings Of the company
are cut and dried affairs. G. NJ
Hughes of New York and William L.
Kizer of South Bend have been elect
ed president and secretary, respective
~, every year since the railroad was
established.
The New Jersey, Indiana, etc, line
is in reality a feeder" for the Wa
bash, but it operates as a separate
road. It is to all appearances owned
by different people, The road extends
from Pine station to sewing machine
factory at South Bend, having been
built to handle part of the latter's
VuS1ueSS. uEOuSu It's CHARTER, now
ever, the line is forced to operate pas
senger trains, and once a day an en-
CINE and one car make a round trip.
Railroad men have long contended
that the New Jersey road was the orig
inal two streaks of rust" and the
three men who make up the crew of
the only train ever operated over the
line are figures in many jokes. The
single train carries an engineer and
fireman, probably due to the fact that
the wheezy old locomotive No. 4, needs
two men to run it, and third man,
who is conductor, brakeman, mail
clerk, baggageman and ALL
The railroad has one main track, but
somewhat peculiarly, only two side
tracks. AS the switches are both in.
South Bend the engine cannot turn
around when it gets to the other end
of the line, and it is forced to back up
on the return trip.
