Fl Paso. Texas, March General Villas expressed belief that Gustav Bauch, who was arrested at Juarez as a, spy two weeks ago, was the victim of an assassin, occasioned no surprise here, where Bauch's sister. Mrs. J. M Patterson, and others interested in the case have been resigned to the con clusion that Bauch was slain at Juarez a week ago last Friday. They scout the personal enemy theory, however
 Repeated assertions have been made by certain Juarez rebels, talking conf
 dentialiy to friends on this side of the border, that Bauch was executed and the stories all agreed on the date of the execution, which was the day that General Villa departed for Chihuahue.
 For a week official Juarez maintain ed that Bauch was in Chihuahua, but Villa declared and informally proved that Bauch was not there.
 Mrs. Patterson asserted that her brother, an engineer, had no enemies. His statement before the alleged court-martial that he went to Juarez ito get drunk was accepted by Mrs. Patterson as the truth.

them This is because the earth is
great magnet, and the wireless waves
virtually wade along partly through
the ground and partly through the air.
Even wireless telegraphy involves an
electrical circuit: the flow must even
tually return to the ground. In this
case the ground is the track upon
which the cars move. What would
happen II the electrical discharge at
the instant Of receiving n message
aboard the train should pass into the
rail? Wouldn't this interfere with the
current that already runs through the
rails when passing train causes the
automatic operating Of some Of the
block signals? Wouldn't the two cleo
trical discharges cause signal troubles?
The railroad electricians had their
doubts. but the wireless men believed
otherwise. and the tests have shown
that there was no reason for anxiety.
But why? YOU will ask. Just where
the Hertzian waves return to the earth
they have zero Of electrical energy.
or potential. as the expert expresses it.
These points are the modal. or neutral
points, corresponding to the places on
a vibrating string where the double
curves meet and cross and where there
is no motion. For this reason the
wireless discharge into the track has
no power to upset the regular current
which controls the operating OF the
block signals.
Wireless teleGraphy calls for good
deal of energy in the spark which
creates the Hertzian waves, and the
question was: Where was this current
to be obtained? In the present instance
IL has been drawn from the batteries
supplying current for the incandesccnt
lighting system. An independent motor
could easily be provided for the sole
purpose of furnishing energy for the
wireless apparatus, and separate stor-
age batteries could also be installed to
hold enough energy in reserve to do
a good deal OF telegraphing after the
train had halted for one reason or an
other.
The Marcon outfit has been espe-
cially developed for railroad service
Space and weight had to be drawn upon
economically and the whole system is
just about one-quarter the size OF an
ordinary installation. This naturally
has imposed refinements and made II
necessary to take great care in offset
| ting the Earring vibrations of a speeding
train. Again the electrical engineers
have done well, because even upon the
first run the apparatus functloned en-
couragingly.
OF course there are yet obstacles to be

M moving train promises to
w make railroad travel safer in

ing succOr from afar to injured ships.
Its application to railroading will be for
somewhat different purpose.
The block signal system now com.
monty adopted in combination with
track contacts has done wonders In re-
ducing the risk of accidents. The tower
men are stationed every few miles. and
unless something goes wrong inside the
block the train must clear each zone

at stated intervals, but the arch enemy
was the weather. and especially snow
and ice. The apparatus worked we'll ex-
perimentally until these foes to efficiency
interviewed. and then the whole techni-
oally beautiful installation failed to OPP
crate. Wireless telegraphy promises to
do the needed work.
II you look at a map Of the Lacka-
wanna railroad you will find that Bing-
hamton Is what the railroad man calls
the neck OF the traffic bottle, for there
converge no fewer than three branches
OF the road. A break in train schedules

has added to the difficulties by reason of
the topography of the country. In n

These conditions double the task of
the engine driver, who must watch all
the more carefully every signal. and
they likewise increase immensely the
stress upon the tower man. These cir

prompted the experiments with the wire
less installation. There were several
serious obstacles to overcome.
Wireless telegraphy. as every one
knows, usually calls for tall masts or
towers from which the aerials or an
tennm can he spread. and this element
Of height and length of despatohing and
intercepting filaments influences di-
rectly the efficiency Of the apparatus,
both in creating HertZlan waves and In
being sensitive to the ether vibrations
having their source elsewhere. How,
then, were these requirements to be met
upon a swiftly moving train?
As a matter II fact, the clearance be-
tween the roofs of the coaches and the
tops Of the bridges and tunnels Is a mat
ter of only few inches. Would aerials
as low as this answer? Only expert
menting would solve the question, and
the electrical experts set about doing 1t
in this way:
