TELEPHONE IN NOVEL TEST
Successful Experiments Made With
New Device In EngIand-com-
munication Under Water.

Albert Halstead, United States con-
sui at Birmingham, England, in re-
cent report says:
The following paragraph in regard
to tests Of an instrument to telephone
through water without wires appeared
in recen. issue of prominent tech
nical publication:
Exhaustive tests have recently been
made by Mr.. A. W. Sharman with in
struments invented by him for tele-
phoning through water without wires.
The microphone used in speaking is
connected in series with a battery Of
four or five dry cells and an impulse
coil, the coil being of special construc-
ton and giving very short, induced
currents of high potential, which are
communicated 20 water by two wires
connected to the terminals of the coil
and terminating in plates buried in the
sand or submerged in the water. Two
similar plates, connected direct with a
very low-resistance telephone receiver
enable the speech to be picked up at
distances of mile and more.
The speech transmitted through the
water has been very distinct, and the
system has shown good possibilities
for use as means of verbal COM
munication between two ships, such as
battleship. and submarine The ef-
feet is very directional, and another
advantage is that with a small tuned
buzzer telegraphic signals can be
transmitted through the earth or wa
ter for distance of several miles.
The primary energy required is ex-
tremely small, four watts suficing to
telephone over distance of two
miles.

Lighthouses Without Light.

Lighthouses without light are about
to be established by the French gov
eminent. Instead of lights hertzian
waves viii be made use of, and in this
manner vessels properly equipped will
be enabled to receive warnings in time
of fogs when the ordinary lighthouses
are useless, so far as shedding their
warning rays abroad. Officers of these
vessels will be enabled to determine
accurately the direction from which
the hertzian warnings are being re-
seived, and so get their bearings.
Three of these stations are to be es-
tablisheI and the sites selected are in
the vicinity of established lights
which are known to mariners.

William S. Hawks Story of the Forth
tude With Which the ohioan Met
Financial Disaster That Seem
ingy Ended His Career.

William S. Hawk, president or the
Ohio Society of New York city, one
of the largest of the state organiza-
tions of the metropolis, was for many
years as intimate a personal friend
as William Mckinley had. The init
macy began in Canton, Ohio, which
was the boyhood and early manhood
home Of Mr.. Hawk. How close that
intimacy was may be judged from the
fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley in
yited Mr.. Hawk and his family to be-
come their personal guests at the
White House at the time of McKin-
leys Inauguration as president Prob
ably no one now living had better
opportunities for observing Mckinley
in the privacy and the charm OF his
domestic life, or of learning what
{McKinley's real personal character
was, than had Mr. Hawk.
Il always knew that Mckinley had
strength enough of character to meet
courageously, without fiinching. any
emergency, however, serious; was
perfectly prepared for the fortitude
and the beautiful resignation which

as We are picturing, which consists of
fiat and preferably curved tin case
with an opening at one end through
which an ordinary incandescent lamp
can be introduced, says the Popular
Electricity The opening is closed by
a fiange bolted to the end, which flange
supports both the lamp socket and the
receptacle for an attachment plug
through which the patient can discon-
meet the device from the circuit with
out reaching for switch.
OF course this arrangement is
neither as convenient nor as adaptable
as the more recent heating pads made
of resistance material imbedded in a
flexible mat or webbing. but it is east
ly made by1any mechanic and has
proven helpful in many forms of stom-
nch troubles. Indeed 1t is one of the
electrical appliances for which the
summer with its severe strains on our
digestive apparatus brings no less a
demand than does the winter.

Tale of Broken Appointments

that he would be in New London on

and in reply was informed that his
assistants did not know where he was.
All they knew was that he had gone
away a few days earlier to administer
gas in a surgical operation, that he
had gone with the expectation of re-
turning in the evening. but he had not
come.

peared in New London He found me
in very angry frame of mind; but
he asked me not to criticise him until

instruction has been given to dairy,
farmers in regard to keeping their
herds In healthy condition, and in
the purpose and application OF the
tuberculin test. Where possible, herds
have been tested for tuberculosis; and
where department agents have assist
ed farmers In the selection of new
cattle, 1t has been the practice to
have these cattle purchased subject to
the tuberculin test.
"On account of the prevalence of
the boil weeyil, southern farmers are
taking up dairying as lucrative bust
ness unaffected by the pest. and are
learning to rotate crops SO as to pre-
vent the spread Of the weevil. Dairy
ing furnishes means of profitable
use for the crops.
THE field men assist II the organf-
zatiOn of dairy and live stock associa-
lions. A number of these have been
organized in the past three years in
several Of the southern states. One
new form Of breeding association
which the department is now trying to
introduce Is the bull association. in
which a group of farmers join in the
purchase of one or more pure bred
bulls, to introduce good blood into
their herds and raise the quality OF
their cows, at an expense within their
means. One bull association has just
been organized through the efforts of
the field agent in Maryland.
Butter contests for periods of Y
months have been conducted by the
field men. Criticisms are made on
samples sent in each month defects
are pointed out and remedies suggest

Appointed Minister to Russia, He
Could Not Have Maintained That
Position, for His Once Large
Fortune Was Dissipated.

Very few persons probably now re-
member the late Allen Thorndike
Rice, and to the younger generation
the name means absolutely nothing.
Yet twenty-five years ago Allen Thorn
dixie Rice was thought to have the
most promising future of any young
Republican of New York state and
was deemed a more interesting and
oiquant character than even Tneo-
dore Roosevelt, with whom Rice was
intimately associated in politics OF
the late eighties.
He was Boston born, but lived for
many years in Europe and was
graduate of one of the English uni
yersities. He returned to the United
States about 1876 when he was only
% years of age. He was reported 10
be the possessor of a very, large for
tune, and of a scholarly az well as
practical turn of mind, a reputation
that he justified by buying the North
American Review, the Oldest and
staidest OF American periodicals. ana
by entering upon a career OF prac-
teal politics. He was a candidate for
congress in 1885, in a New York city
district. but was defeated, and ne
gained national notoriety by his adj
vocacy of the Australian ballot. He
was. in fact, the first to bring that
form of ballot to the attention OF the
American people.
Pania,oin Harrison was one of Mr..
Rice's intimate friends and after Har-
rison entered the presidency he nomi-
mated Mr.. Rice minister to Russia
and the nomination was promptly con-
firmed. Rice, however. never went to
Russia. He was taken Ill three days
before the date fixed for his sailing
and died from some acute intestinal
trouble. Mr.. Rice was a personal
friend of the late William r. Grace,
who was twice mayor of New York
and it was from Mr.. Grace that
learned the following incident Of Mr.
Rice's last hours.
Late one afternoon / was in an
elevated railroad train on my way

Strange Way In Which Public Came
to Learn of Operation on PresI-
dent cleveIand's Jaw While
Aboard Renedict's Yacht.

In August 1898, there was printed
newspaper report that told in de-
tail of a serious operation performed
upon the upper left jaw of President
Grover Cleveland while he was at sea
on the yacht of his friend, E. c. Bene-
dict of New York. The report was in
the best sense of the word sensation
al; the operation was the sole topic
of national discussion.
For some time thereafter the truth
OF the report was disputed by several
newspapers, and it was thought adj
yisable by those who were near Presi-
dent Cleveland at his summer home at
Buzzard's Bay to give out a qualified
denial of its accuracy. But later. the
late Daniel S. Lamont, then Cleve-
lands private secretary, who was with
Cleveland at the time the operation
was performed, confessed to me that
my account of the operation on the
president was SO amazingly accurate
that 1t was impossible not to believe
that 1t had been described to me by
some one who was in the presidential
party at the time of the operation.
The president had been taken to sea
upon Mr.. Benedict's yacht chiefly for
the purpose of surrounding the opera
ton with secrecy.
have been asked many times how
obtained my information of the
operation. This is the story. which
am now at liberty to tell:
Upon my return to my home from a
brief vacation in August, 1893, ! found
my family physician, the late DR.. Le-
ander P. Jones of Greenwich, Conn,
waiting to see me. DR.. Jones was the
physician of E. c. Benedict, of Henry
D. Havemeyer, president of the Sugar
trust; of Andrew Carnegie, when he
lived in Greenwich, and of the Rookie
tellers when their home was in that
town. He said to me as we met: I'm

dent Cleveland. / can tell you the
