ELECTRIC FURNACES

An electric furnace for the heat treatment of
steel used in automobile construction has been
introduced. It's method of producing uniform
dependable heat that is so urgently sought by
automobile manufacturers is quite novel in cleo
trio furnace practice, although its principle is
comparable to that Of the well-known Nernst
lamp. Both the floor and the domelike covers of
this furnace are of a refractory material which is
practically nonconducting at ordinary tempera
lures. To start the furnace. a current is passed
through a bed of coke laid its floor. On ben
sufficiently heated the floor becomes a conductor
and in turn heats the wall and top rendering
them conductive, until finally the entire furnace
becomes fncandescent. 1t is stated by those who
have tried the furnace that it's use in the heat
treatment of automobile parts promises to be
extensive in the future

Junior, real aristocrat among Bos-
ton bulldogs, went walking in Central
park, logged out in bejeweled collar
and a plush robe A half-hour later
he returned to his owner, Mrs. K. D.
Slavens, of st. Louis, at the Hotel
Majestic, minus one diamond and with
a nipped tail.
A mere mutt of a dog-one of those
that play hide-and-seek with the squir-
rels and never wear muzzle-saw Ju-
nior, and thinking he was some strange
thing that the circus had brought to
town, started to investigate. Filled
with resentment when he saw the
degradation of one of his own race,
he challenged Juniors right to wag a
tail. There was y zip and yelp, and
then Juniors man attendant scooped
him up and carried him home. A vet
erinarian was called and said the aris-
tocrat was not injured except for a

lance by wireless an electric shock similar to that
produced by touching charged wire One can
think of other way in which effects perious to
life and property could be obtained with cleo
triclty.
With this idea worked out to it's ultimate per
lection, one might foretell such appalling events
in warfare this: An entire army, in its
trenches, is without warning seized with the death
agonies of wretch in the electrical chair and is
exterminated by silent enemy, using no bullets.
Or. at a given moment, every living thing in a
great city is struck dead as If by lightning by
means of a force unleashed hundreds of miles
away by an officer who merely pulls lever in
wireless tower.
Tesla appears to see in the future warfare OF
electrical appliances more deadly than all the can
non ever made; he sees entire areas electrified
and made untenable for any living creature.
Death and destruction will be dealt out at unheard
of distances with zones of action more spacious
than we now dream Of There is foreshadowed
a conflict in which not armies but nations may
be destroyed in a single action, by men armed
with thunderbolts mighty than those of the
heavens No wonder that Tesla, his own imagi-
nation recoiling in horror, says
Il hope this is the invention that will make war
impossible"
Another device for which inventors are seeking
is one that will be able, by means of the wireless
current to explode at distance the enemy's
magazines of ammunition If this were perfected
one man in London by pressing button, could
set fire to all the explosives in the Krupp factories
and blow that institution into bits; or he could
blow up all the cartridges and explosives in the
German army. Or another man in Berlin could
with one stroke blow the English fleet out of the
water with its own powder In article in a
Paris newspaper recently, Marconi father of wire
less telegraphy, declared that such invention
would mean the abolition of firearms and a
version to hand-to-hand fighting.
A Dutch inventor named Lanzius, now in New
York claims to have made such device. An
Italian inventor won considerable notoriety for
himself two years ago by demonstrating appa-
ratus which he declared would explode ammu
milton at a distance by means OF a wireless cur
rent-but he was shown to be fraud A young
New Yorker who already has several authentic
inventions to his credit, declares he has perfected
a method of emitting wireless current which will
melt all metals within a certain radius. A Cali
fornia inventor asserts that he create fame
at distance by means of wireless, and offers to
set fire to any fleet approaching the Pacific coast.
The Germans are reported to have used heat to
destroy the barbed-wire entanglements of the Rus
slams Tesla believes that the result obtained

if at all, by the projection of a name produced
by hydrogen gas under high pressure. Such
flame readily be projected for 10 feet, which
might be sufficient when the trenches are close
enough together. In such fame barbed wire
would melt like wax.
In all of the belligerent countries, and in those
which fear they may sometime become beliger
ents, the best brains are hard at work on the
problem of continuing methods of murder
more deadly and more wholesale than those now
employed. Some of their dreams of future war
fare may seem fantastic. But the rude cannon Of
the Turks seemed incredible prodigy at the
siege of Constantinople in the fifteenth century:
and to the artillerymen of our Revolutionary war
the machine gun of today would appear an equal
marvel. On can scarcely doubt that if man con-
tinues to maintain his delight in war, science will
be at hand to supply him with weapons ad
vanced in murderous power over those today, as
the of today surpass the sling and stone with
which David, introducing the artillery Of his era
slew the armored giant. Will human nerves be
able to endure these colossal horrors? Probably;
today they endure the shock of explosives the
sound Of which would have sent Achilles to the
madhouse

Through April Dusks.

When April trips along the road
and twilight settles down, she passes
lightly through the mist of springtime
graz and brown. And as she goes
along her way the stars peep out and
glow, the moon smiles down with mer-
ry smile, a cleaning silver bow. And
old folk, sitting in the dusk, lift up
their weary eyes, and look along the
springtime road with unconcealed sur
prise. And, half uncertain, half sur
prised, they hear the song OF love, the
song of youth and happiness, the
songs from heaven above. And half
bewildered, half amazed, they know
that through the land a train of low
ers softly walk together, hand in hand.
They know that farmers plant their
crops, that mothers sit and sew; that
robins build again their nests; that
music, gentle, slow, is singing on the
breeze of night; they know that flow.
ers spring upon the brown of we'll
loved graves; that moss and ivy cling
with tender arms about the earth that
guards each sleeping form; they know
that resurrection comes and banishes
the storm. E. Sangster, Jr.,

In the United States were involved in war,
however, he says he would place his device I'M
reservedly at the disposition of the military
authorities.
1T is of course possible" he said to repre-
sentative Of the PostDispatch Sunday Magazine
a few days ago, ito produce electrical effects at
distance by means of wireless energy. But the
insurmountable difficulty thus far has been to aim
an electric wave in one direction only, with all
of its force concentrated on a given target
Il will go so far to say that after twenty
years of application to the problem of transmitting
energy by wireless, | have just made valuable
advance in this direction. The stage has been
reached where to an extent is practicable to use
this force in war, and to predict such a develop
ment as will make electricity supplant cannon in
battle.
1T is impossible to give details at this time, but
in a general way my invention be used in
three methods.
I'm the first place, it will be possible to send
an explosive body through the air-an aerial tor
pedo flying many times faster than an aeroplane-
and to direct this projectile to the spot desired
where it can be exploded by wireless 1t will be
possible to guide the projecte by wireless after
it has passed beyond the range of the eye, and the
aim is so accurate that it is possible to reduce
the error to few feet in a thousand miles.
In the second place, it will be practicable with
this apparatus to produce effects at a distance
which will interfere with the enemy and tend to
In the third place, it promises to be able to
produce at distance such effects of electrical
tension as will jeopardize life and property"
The inventor declined to go into specific details,
saying that it is safer to be specific after the
fact But one would gather from the words he
lid speak that ne has contrived a torpedo of the
air flying under its own power as a torpedo swims
in the water which be steered by wireless
and exploded by the same force. Such proIectie
would have a range not of some twenty miles, like
the highest power cannon but one limited only
by its own flying endurance, 1t would be harder
TO hit with shell and rifle fire than aeroplane,
because of its smaller size and swifter velocity,
and it need not be manned by a crew who would
be exposed to death at every instant
Such missile aimed according to the mathe-
NAUTICAL formulas used today by gunners whose
target is beyond the range of eye and telescope,
could be dispatched for the destruction of a bat
tleship long before her own guns would be able
to come into play Safe from the shells of the
greatest ordnance it could start from point
miles beyond their range and destroy the batteries
without the possibility of a reply.
The second and third methods of which Tesla
speaks are discussed in rather cryptic language,
but leave the inference that he believes himself
already able. in some degree, to produce at dis

HISTORIC CITY OF THE EAST
Kashan Said to Have Been Spot From
Which the Three Wise Men
Started to Bethlehem.

The brief dispatch that the Russians
have taken Kashan in Persia brings
another romantic name into the the
alter of war operations. 1t is almost
a sacred name, as tradition says it
was from Kashan that the wise men
started on their holy pilgrimage to
Bethlehem so many Christmases ago.
Every step taken both by the Rus
sian and British expeditions in this
corner of the world is in a country of
interesting history and tradition. The
British, from base on the supposed
site of the Garden of Eden, operated
against Bagdad. the city of the Ara
advance on Kashan recently took
Hamadan, the ancient Ecbatana, which
contains, according to the Mohamme-
dams, the tombs of Esther and Nor
decai
The belief that at Kashan the wise
men OF the East first saw the star of
Bethlehem has found support among
learned Christian theologians. But,
however that may be, Kashan became
a great city in ancient times, espe-
cially after it was rebuilt by Zobeideh,
wife of Haroun-eLRaschid 1t once
had $500 houses and 40 mosques, and
was renowned for it's silk weavers and
brass workers. But civil wars, earth
quakes and economic causes brought
about it's decay. There is still seen
the famous leaning minaret, $50 feet
high, which once served as an oriental
divorce court Unfaithful wives were
dragged up the spiral staircase to the
top and showed off.
Four miles from Kashan are the re-
mains of the wonderful palace built
by Shah Abbas, the greatest of the Per
sian monarchs. The oasis constructed
by the shah is still green, its pavilions
are gay with paintings and mosaics,
and it's gardens full of roses, watered
by streams that run through blue-tiled
channels. In this palace political
tragedy was enacted in 1868. Mira
Khan, prime minister and own brother
in-law of the reigning shah, was con-
demned to death. He asked permits
sion to commit suicide, and opened
vein in his arm in one of the ancient
tiled bathrooms of the palace.
The ruined palace with its summer
houses amid trees and gardens, sur
rounded by desert, is described as the
most beautiful thing of it's kind in the
near East.
Kashan is also famous for it's scor-
pions, Thich are said to be among the
world.

the end of a chickens breastbone to find out how
tender-in other words, how young-the fowl is.
oddly enough the same test with human beings
Is one of the most reliable known. If in advanced
life the lower part of your breasbone feels elias
tic when pushed inward you may assume that
no important changes have yet taken place in
your arteries. or otherwise in your anatomical
makeup.
The human breastbone is shaped like an ancient
Roman sword. and the upper part of 1t is like the
sword handle. Its point is a piece of cartilage,
which anatomists call the typhoid" cartilage. The
early hardening and stiTening of it indicate that
the changes that accompany old age have prema-
turely begun.-Youth's Companion.
