I through the ground from one point to
another without connecting wires by
simply setting up a difference of cleo
| trio potential between the sending and
receiving instruments. Telephones
have been constructed on this principle
, by which the human voice can be
transmitted more clearly than by the
usual system of connecting wires.
But Messrs. COmbes and Negro go
much farther They have found that
batteries can be entirely dispensed
with. and that a pair of iron stakes
lightly set in the ground and connect
ed by a wire Immediately reveal the eX-
istence of currents due to the earth
itself. which. by easy manipulation,
can be employed for sending signals.
The natural currents of the earth seem
to follow the geologic strata. as well
as metallic lodes. mineral deposits and
underground water supplies. BY their
aid hidden vein of copper ore was
recently traced i'm the province of Sala-
manca, Spain under the River DOurO
and beyond the Portuguese frontier. In
northern France a layer Of phosphate
chalk has been similarly followed for
a long distance under grOunl. 1t is
easy by this meChod to detect the lOCa-
ton OF underground water.
But this is not all. by any means. The
earth is so full of wandering currents
of manetism that the same experiment.
ers declare their belief that it is inn
possible not merely To trace the lOca-
Jion of subterranean minerals. but To
transmit electric signals in any direc-
ton without the use of batteries. The
earth itself supplies the necessary diff
ferences of potential. and all that is
needed in order to take advantage Of
them is a simple apparatus to record
the variations. and TO produce the re-
versals required for signalling. Thus
without any external manifestation.
signals may be sent and received at
widely separated points. The earth
currents are much more powerful than
one could have believed. BOurbouZe has
shown that they suffice To decOmpOse
water. to galvenize metal, ana TO run

Messrs COmbes and Negro. To invent
the means by which these currents may
be made to send messages without
wires or batters, to furnish electric
light. to supply heat, and i'm many 9TH

the earth is found more and more to be
a kind of living organism With whose
life ours is so closely bound up.

IRON SPRINGS TO
OPEN ABOUT JUNE ST.
Popular Resort for Phoenix People
Will Be Patronzed This Year.

The first step in the opening Of
Iron Springs was taken at a meeting
of the directors of the Iron Springs
Outing club which was held short
time ago. Most of the directors were
present, and much business of impor-
lance was transacted, including the
appointing of f. L. Patton as general
manager for the club during the en-
suing summer Mr.. Patton was also
awarded a contract which gave him
exclusive right to run the general
merchandise store, the dining room.
the lodging house. and the postoffice.
Mr.. Patton, who is always the first
person To arrive at the springs, in
tends to leave here about the second
of June. He is expecting a big sea-
son this year, and is making arrange
ments for an unusually large number
Of Phoenicians and others. Several
cottage owners who have not been
To the springs for a number of sea-
sons have expressed their intention of
going there this season and every
thing seems to indicate a large out
ing settlement this year.
To those who have been at Iron
Springs it is unnecessary to say any
thing in the way of boosting the
place. but tn those who have never
visited the summer resort the follow
ing facts partallys explain why so
many people are in love with it: 1t
is located among the mountains, where
it is very cool, so close to Phoenix
that the husbands who are too busy To
stay very long can spend their vaca-
tons with their families i'm the cool.
and yet be close to Phoenix. They
can even come up just for Saturday
night and Sunday. The scenery is un-
eXcelled: the resort is noted for its
spring, there is a happy social life
several dances many card parties
and picnics each week, as well as
other social attractions. such as ten
mis-. croquet, etc; a great change from
the duh monotony of town life. To the
freedom of the camp; and many other
things too numerous To mention.

 Governor Granados of the federal dis trct acted as intermediary between the men and. their employees, having submit- ted various propositions and counter propositions during the day. At mass meeting of the men tonight 1t was voted to accept the concessions offered by the street railway company.
 The advances in pay granted the men averaged 3 cents an hour to motormen . cents to conductors, and cents to in- spectors and dspatchers. The latter are the best paid of the earmens having been receiving 25 cents per hour.
 The men were given the right 10 buy their uniforms where they choose. the only stipulation made by the company being that they shall conform to a stand ard fixed by the company. A demand for arbitration of claims for injury was waived. The settlement was looked upon by the men as a distinct victory and there was great rejoicing In their ranks tonight Two thousand men benefit by the advance in wages.
 President De La Barra telephoned Man ager Harrison tonight expressing his qualification over the satisfactory adjust ment of matters.
