LIGHTS FOR MOTORCYCLES.

The latest attachment for the
ubiquitous motorcycle is complete
electric generating plant for light
ing the headlight, similar to the ap-
paratus used in automobiles. Up to
now the heavy weight of such install
lations has prevented their use on
motorcycles, but light system, con-
sisting of regulator and generator
taking its power from the turning
axle, has been perfected. The regu-
lator keeps the voltage constant at
varying speeds of the motorcycle. As
a result of the new device the motor
cycle of the future may be expected
to cruise with its own electric lights,
freed from the danger of batteries or
carbide supply giving out.

cows USED FOR SIGNALING
Bulgarian cowherd Transmitted Mill
tary News by Moving Animals
About on Top Of Hill.

AT the battle of Ishtib a Bulgarian
cowhprd signaled news to his mill
tary untrymen relative to the po-
sition Of the Serbian battalions by
moving five cows about in various
ways on the top of hill.
The Basutos, by the way, practi-
cally anticipated wireless telegra-
ply" in a crude fashion. That is,
by striking heavily on huge drum
of goatskin, which is placed on a
special spot, another Basuto at dis
lance can gather the purport of the
message by placing his ear close to
the ground to catch the vibrations ;
and then he, in turn, passes the mes
sage on. b.!
OF course, given suitable climatic
conditions, the military heliograph
can transmit messages over enor-
nous tracts of country, and the rec
ord is probably held by an English
man, Captain Sadler Of the Sixth
Dragon Guards, who, by this means,
succeeded in South Africa in send
ing a message direct a distance Of
1870 miles. {.

IN HONOR OF THE NEGLECTED.
Memorial Shaft, Unique Inc Design,
Erected at Liverpool, England,
10 Unsuna Heroes.

At the Princess pierhead in Liver
pool a granite monument has been
erected in memory Of the valiant
deeds Of the engine-room heroes Of
the British navy, according to Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. In addi-
ton to the interest the memorial at
tracts as work of art, it is notable
for two things: it is one of the very
few shafts that have ever been raised
anywhere in honor Of the many
courageous seagoing engineers, me-
chanics and coworkers who have
stuck to their posts in the face of
death and performed their duties
with self-sacrificing patriotism equal
to that of any soldier or sailor. The
other noteworthy point is that the
memorial is the only important
English work of its type that has
ever been executed solely in granite.
1t is 4S feet in height and consists
of an obelisk surmounting heavy
base, on two sides of which are sculp-
tured groups representing the differ
ent divisions in the personnel Of an
engine-room staff. The other two
sides of the rectangular support
carry inscriptions. AT the corners
of the top part of the base are four
figures symbolical of earth, air, fire
and water. Behind these figures and
supposedly supported by them is
sea-circumscribed globe, on each
side of the back of which flaming
sun is visible. A group of lightly
draped feminine figures, holding
wreaths, crown the shaft, which at
the apex is surrounded by a fiery
torch.

Great Britain Obtained Complete Con-
troll OF Waterway in 1870, Although
II Was French Project.

II was more than half a century
ago, on February ~, 1867, that the
first vessel Of any size passed through
the Suez canal from the Mediterra-
mean sea.
The completion Of the Sucz canal
imposed upon Great Britain the gi-
gantic task of protecting the sea
route to her Asiatic empire. Gibral-
tar and Malta, already in Britain's
possession, were important links in
the chain. The peninsula Of Alden,
controlling the entrance into the
Red sea, was fortified on a vast scale,
and a protectorate was acquired over
large inland region. Cyprus, So
kotra island and the Kuria Muria
islands, off the Arabian coast, added
new links to the defensive chain, and
it has been said that the Red sea is
now "more distinctively British than
is st. Georges channel, between
England and Ireland" Great Brit
ain obtained proprietary control Of
the Suez canal in 1876 by purchas-
ing the shares of the Egyptian khe-
dive for about $2O,OO0,O0O, although
it was French project and its COM
pletion was due to French genius.
