Monster Eltotiio Search Light for Coast
Defenro Experiments ,
PENETRATING EIGHTY MILES TO SEA
The I.nrgcut Ktcr Unlit , I'crclinl on n
Tou-rr Ninety I-Yot lllRl
of the Projector nml IU
iiitl > orit < i Mvclmiilftiil.
The largest clactrlc fcarch light In the
tiorld , larger oven than the famous projector
on the top of Mount Washington , has been
purchased by the United Rial's govcrnmenl
for Ihe piirpozo of experimenting In coast
defe > n o. It has already been sent to the
Sandy Hook proving ground , where It will bo
perched on top of a tower ninety feet high ,
from which It will sweep the waters In all
directions , responding lo Uio various testa to
which It will bo put.
It Is described by the New York World ns
the largest projector over made. It measures
five feet across the front of the lens , and ,
though the strcnglh of the arc Is 47,000
candle-power , yet this will he magnified by
a special mechanism , which Is n part of the
lamp Itself , until thu beam of light which
wll emanate from 11 will reach n candle-
pow r of 191,000,000. So strong Is It , In fact ,
tlint It will be possible lo detect Its darling
light clghly mllflE away.
The fact that the search-light , so suc
cessful on our men-of-wnr , might prove
of great utility In const defense has
been suggested before , but no good op
portunity presented Itself until last
year , when n German firm of electri
cians exhibited the. present big lamp at
the Chicago exhibition. Then the ord
nance department decided to buy It
and commence the series of experi
ments which will begin in about a month
at the Sandy Hook proving ground.
Of late years Immcncc strides have
been made In the offensive facilities of
the Navy department , nnd while the sys
tems of defense have wonderfully ad
vanced , they have not In many Instances
kept pace with the oilier end of the
science. A vorv good instance can be
found In the performances of Iho lorpedo
boat Gushing. The llllle craft built by
the HerrcshoffH has been able so far to
defy oven Ihe search-light. Since she has
been painted green it Is almost Impossible
to find her In Ihe walcr wllh Ihe search
light now used by naval vessels. At
Goat Island last summer she played about
in the water near the men-of-war and was
never discovered until she had signalled
that she had been prowling about nnd could
have blown any or all of the big batllcshlps
oul of Iho waler. On several occasions she
ran up within a few yards of the San Fran
cisco and the Mianlonomah in the face of
their search-lights and was not delected.
With the big search-light at Sandy Hook
It would bo Immposslbie for the Gushing
to play such pranks.
The lamp was made especially for the Chicago
cage exhibition by Schuckert & Co. , of Nu-
remburg , Germany. II was mounted on Ihe
northwestern corner of the roof of Ihe Manu-
faclures building , and when It was operalcd
Ihree evenings each week Its light was de-
lecled In Mllwaukece , over elghly miles
away. When completely mounted It stands
about eight nnd one-half feet above the plal-
form on which It Is erected. The space
within the lamp Is large enough to allow
five or six men to ensconce themselves.
The most Imporlanl parl of the lamp Is
the largo parabolic mirror , which Is used to
magnify Iho llghl from the carbons. It lias
a working diameter of five feel , and a Ihlck-
ness of soven-elghlhs of nn Inch. It Is a
remarkable piece of glass , and six months
were consumed In Ihe labor of grinding and
polishing. The bark of the glass Is heavily
coated with silver , which Is protected by a
coaling of specially prepared paint. It has
been proved by experiments that this style
of mirror Is besl ndapled for projecllng Iho
rays and ore lamp for search light purpose ,
as It furthers Ihe reflection of the intense
rays more than any other kind. In fact an
electrical engineer , speaking of It , says thai
though great Improvements may be made
In search lights tn tlio future Iho parabolic
mirror must form an Integral portion of the
mechanism of Ihe lamp.
The carbons In Iho lamp are very large ,
nnd a device Is provided by means of which
Jthey can bo separated Immediately , and Ihe
arc , which depends on tills separalion , estab
lished automatically ; so lhat It Is only neces
sary to turn on the current to get the full
force of the light at once. This device will
make the lamp very valuable for naval pur
poses.
Although the lamp weighs In the neigh
borhood of i,000 ! pounds It Is so perfectly
poised thai a child can swing It about. So
It can bo worked by hand or by means of
electric motors. In the latter case Ihe op
erator doeb not have lo bo In Intimate con
nection with the- lamp , but can control II
If desirable by aid of nn electric currenl op
erated from a point any distance removed
from It.
The positive carbon has a core of glass ,
which aids In steadying the arc , and the
laller may bo operated so lhat Iho rays
from Iho lamp may bo made lo spread over
a wide surface or conccnlrato them
selves on ono point , at the will of
the operator. The lamp Itself Is painted
black , so as lo bo Invisible at night. It
consumes ICO amperes of currenl.
When Ihls large now mldnlghl sun Is
placed In poslllon at Sandy Hook , the gov
ernment will have an opportunity of learn
ing just what II Is possible lo accomplish
by stationing the search llghl on land forll-
cntlons , This question being once agitated ,
it will not be long before It will be solved.
Then probably every land forllficallon on
bolh cosls will be supplied with n projector.
The lamp will bo mounted on a lower ,
the materials for which are already at Sandy
Hook. First n wall thlrly feel above Iho sea
level will bo built. On top of this wall will
stand the lower , slxly feet high. The helghl
of Iho lamp nnd Bland , eight nnd one-half
feet , will place Iho total height of all
nt ninety-eight nnd one-half feet. From
this eminence It will bo possible to command
a very extended horizon , nnd with systematic
operation of the light It would bo almost
Impossible for n large vessel to approach
wllhln deslructlvo distance before she could
bo seen.
The chief trouble will bo the detection of
the small and almost invisible torpedo boats.
The performances of the dishing show what
has to bo contended against , even If the boat's
presence In nearby waters Is known. Bui
the performances of the new German tor
pedo boati puts a stronger face on the mat
ter. Five of these boats , built by Herr
Schlchati of Elbtng. , recently crossed Iho
Atlantic to enter tlio service of the Bra
zilian government , nnd they wore all
nblo to carry sufficient fuel to cross tlio
ocean , and still bo effective after their ar
rival , without recoallng. It Is claimed they
can attain a maximum speed of about
twenty-seven knots In smooth water , and
possess good seagotng quallttes. Russia and
Italy each has live of these craft In service.
Thus It Is possible for a European coun
try to send a boat all the way across the
ocean , wllh scaled orders , lo operate against
a given point , nnd It could not possibly bo
known where she was going until after the
damage was done and she had gel clear
away.
None of the o Ulcers connecled with the
station directly or Indirectly will make any
very positive statements ns to what will
bo done. Captain Frank Heath , who lives on
Governor's Island , Is In charge of the prov
ing station. While on his weekly visit to
the city the oth < ! r day he said to a re
porter : 7
"Yes , It Is true that the government has
bought the big lamp. The lamp Is now at
Sandy Hook proving ground , and we are
constructing ft ninety-foot tower , on the top
of which the light will bo worked. The
lamp Is , I believe , the largoH In the world ,
niid U Is better than anything heretofore
imcd , wo can expect to accomplish something
rtfcflnlte from ttn uso. It will bo worked by a
complete oUctrlc plant of Its own , and It Is ,
1 bollcvc , no nicely adjusted that the greatest
nmount of maneuvering can be accomplished
with It.

wutwr , ami wo expect to make a thorough

Tlio most striking feature In the May num

"Child Study : A Teacher's Hccord of Her

nn experienced Instructor and she brings to
light a method practiced In a school for
children In Ilrooklyn , The chief aim of the
teachers here was the conscientious study of
every Individual pupil , and every teacher
made an estimate of every pupil at regular
Intervals , nnd the record was kept. Thjs
new method Is now being adopted In a num
ber of public schools , and the change though
simple Is yet radical and promising of good
results. The old way was to teach a child
certain facts , and the facts were the objects
of the main attention , whereas the new way
Is to train and develop the child , and the
child Is the main object of attention. The
question of state aid to the unemployed Is
discussed pro and con by Ur. Stnnton Colt

presented , bearing very much the features

Cost of Transmitting J'owcr.
A comparison of the cost of transmitting
power by various methods , as given In a
French mining Journal , presents the follow
ing data : 1. Comparative cost on ten-horse
power transmitted In 1,093 yards by cables.
1.77 per effective horse power per hour ; by
electricity , 2.21 ; by hydraulics , 2.90 ; by com
pressed air , 2.98. 2. Comparative cost on
fUty-Jiorse power transmitted"l,093 yards
by cables , 1.35 per effective horse power per
hour ; by hydraulics , 1.87 ; by electricity , 2.07 ;
by compressed air ; 2.29. 3. Comparative
cost on ten effective horse power transmitted
5,403 yards by electricity , 2.04 per effective
horse power per hour ; by compressed air ,
4.CG ; by cable , 4.09 ; by hydraulics , 5.29. 4.
Comparatlvo cost on fifty effective horse
power transmitted 5,405 yards by electric
ity , 2.34 p.er effective horse power per hour ;
by cables , 2.C3 ; by compressed air , 2.99 ; by
hydraulics , 3.02. Steam was the prime
mover used In each of the above instances ,
and It appears that , for long distances , elec
tricity takes the lead In economy over nil
other systems. It has also , remarks the
Journal cited , a great advantage In the facil
ity with which the power may be subdivided ,
and there appears to bo no doubt that In
future coal mlnrng electricity will be much
used for coil cutting , tunneling , pumping ,

are very sorry to see any attempt made to
split up the fruit trade of the city. The llfo
of tills trade Is the concentration of buyers ,
nnd any split makes a poor market , lower

The season would have opened unusually
early this year had not the cold spell
checked their growth. Whllo the severe
weather damaged moat all other fruits tea
a greater or less extent , It did not materially
hurt the watermelon patches other than to
set them back somewhat ; and now that the
weather has turned warm the melons are
growing rapidly , and the seaaon bids fair
to be much earlier than for some years.
A few melons have already found their way
to this market , and have sold to fancy hotel
and other trade at exceptionally high prices ,
often In the neighborhood of ? 2 each. The

NEW YORK , May 13. Henry Clews , head
of the banking house of Henry Clews &
Co. , writes of the situation In Wall street :
"In Wall street circles there arc symp
toms of the beginning of nn Improvement
of tone In both Investment and speculative
operations. The change does not yet show
Itself In any Increase of transactions nor
In any material advance of quotations ; nt
present It rather prefigures than realizes
such effects.
"Every day that shortens the tedious
paralysis attending the prolongation of tariff
legislation Is so much gain for business ,
and ns the tlmo comes more clearly In
sight when that bugbear will disappear hope
revives nnd there Is more disposition to dis
count the great revival which that relief
will bring. Tlio country has had such n
schooling in waiting that the deferment
of hope no longer breeds distrust ; on the
contrary , men of business are cherishing
n strong confidence that when these tem
porary obstacles are removed they will be
followed by n very pronounced nnd thorough
revival In all Interests. Americans know
how to pallonly tolerate restraint of enter
prise , but when such restraints arc removed
there Is no limit to their energy , and for
that reason It Is safe to calculate upon an
unusual activity of business when the
present legislative obstacles are removed.
Wall street is not likely to overlook this
fact , and U already getting ready to dis
count It In advance.
CLOUDS ARE PASSING AWAY.
"Tho concessions to manufacturers In the
senate modifications of the larllf bill have
produced a marked change In estimates us
to the working of that measure. They lift
the cloud of apprehension that has rested
upon our industries for twelve months and
open the way to a quicker and more gen
eral resumption of production than has been
hoped for , and. provided there be no Im
portant retractions of these changes In the
later discussions , there Is likely to be an Im
portant revival of business even before the
new duties take effect.
"In the circles that Imitate the larger
movements of capital there is a growing Im
patience at the postponement of new under
takings. During the long months of Idle
ness plans have been devised for enterprises
that would give employment to the vast
amount of now Idle capital , and It would re
quire no great further recovery of confidence
to start up this class of operations. From
what Is known or surmised of preparations
of this character , it would not be surpris
ing if within the next twelve months we
witness nn unprecedented launching of cor
porate enterprises. The tlmo has rarely been
more promising for floating new undertak
ings , provided they , are framed upon such
conservative ideas as late experience has
taught Investors to respect and Insist upon.
For not only is tITe Accumulation of Idle
funds unprecedented'amU the rate of Interest
abnormally low In the home market , but the
same state of things' exists throughout
Europe. In Europe .and .here promoters are
hungry after their lo/ig.starvatlon , and bank
ers and great speculators are eager for op
portunities to make up .for the losses and the
dull times under which they have been
suffering. These classes-are waiting for in
dications of the arrival of the biting mood
among the fish ofwhich they are anglers ,
and they may be expected to be soon seen
throwing out their "lints' . This at least we
augur from present symptoms , and the startIng -
Ing time is likely to date from the passing
of the tariff bill , or Its near prospect.
BANKERS DON'T ' CARE A RAP.
"The exports of j gqjfl continue , without
any symptoms of immediate cessation , but
have little or no effect upon the stock mar
ket , for the reason that the money can be
well spared and that Its transfer may stim
ulate an ultimate European demand for our
securities by Increasing the ease on the for
eign bourses. The banks rather welcome
the outflow than otherwise , as it will help
to reduce the superabundance of cash at
this center and stiffen rates. It Is not a
welcome Incident that the gold should have
to be supplied from the treasury with Ihe
result of cutting down Us coin reserve. The
banks , however , scarcely feel It to be their
concern that the treasury resource Is thus
drawn upon , They reason that last year
the government had experience enough to
open Its eyes to the danger of carrying the
present large liabilities payable on demand
in gold and that If it is not thought neces
sary to take steps either to diminish them
or to protect them in some surer way there
Is all the more necessity why the banks
should husband their own resources. This
seems to be a wise policy , and It Is to be
hoped that It may Impress the administra
tion and congress with the gravity of the
responsibilities borne by the government in
becoming so large an Issuer of credit cur
rency. It Is very clear ' , however , that if
the treasury Is to be 'expected to satisfy the
future requirements of gold for export , It is
Imperative that some means must be taken
to enable It to meet that demand , which
has been heretofore mainly supplied by the
banks. Congress cannot too soon bestow
earnest attention upon this question. "

LONDON , May 13. The money market
was a trifle easier during the week , but n
heavy fall in rates was prevented by the
demand caused by the floating of the Indian
nnd county council loans Signs of pro
nounced case are at hand , however. The
Bank of England has commenced to Invest
Its surplus cash and ere long It Is expected
that about 3,000,000 will be thrown on the
market. The stock market was dull , the
position of affairs in the United States ,
Canada nnd South America had n depress
ing effect here. The best Investment secur
ities were well supported. The other mar
kets were weak. Mr. Morgan's withdrawal
from the railways committee has created n
bad Impression. American railroad securi
ties were weak and unsettled , but closed
rather firmer. But little confidence Is yet
shown. Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
alone showed a sensible decrease. The
others scored declines ranging from one-
half to 2 per cent. .Grand Trunk and Cana
dian Pacific were slightly lower.

SATURDAY , May 12.
There has been a very fair supply ot cat
tle this week and n moderate run of sheep ,
but receipts of hogs full sharply short of
last week and the corresponding week one
and two years ago. The figures are as
follows :
Cattle. Hogs. Sheep.

Fluctuations in cattle values have been
few and Inconsequential. Supplies have not
been at all heavy and the general character
of the receipts remains about Ihe samu as
for a monlh past. There has been no In
dication of a revival of business east and
English markets continue depressed under
the Influence of liberal arrivals. For this
reason Ihe market for heavy cattle , such as
shippers and exporters call for , has been
dull and weak. On Hie other hand , a
slightly improved consumptive demand has
made dressed beef men better buyers of
the light and medium weight steers and
the more desirable grades have advanced
lOc to 15c during the week.
The market today was a very fair sample
of what It has been all week. There was a
very respectable supply on hand and made
up largely of good , medium and heavy cat
tle. All classes of buyers were in it , hul
the competition was strongest , particularly
among dressed beef men , for the handy
light grades and prices averaged a shade
firmer on such as suited them. There was
also ar slightly better tone to the
market for good heavy catlle , al
though It was difficult to see where
any higher prices were paid. Hough
heavy steers , catlle lhat were coarse , half
fatted or branded , were slow ale , wllh all
discriminating against them. If anything
prices averaged a shade easier on the less
desirable heavy steers. In general , how
ever , trade was reasonably active , and as
sellers were nol anxious lo hold any slock
on Sunday a very fair clearance was
effected.
As a fair sample of the way cows have
been coming to market It Is worthy of note
that out of 147 fresh loads of catlle received
loday there were not half a dozen straight
loads of cows In the yards. There was an
active demand for good stock , and fat cows
and heifers were readily picked up at good
slrong prices. On the common and can
ning grades the market ruled dull , although
practically steady. Calves were in light
supply , moderate demand and generally
broughl good , firm prices. Fal bulls and
slags sold a shade slronger , bul Iho com
mon rough thin stock was rather dull.
There was not much doing In stdckers nnd
feeders , In fact Ihe Irade has been llghl all
week. Regular dealers have done most of
the business , and the close of Ihe week finds
them with a big supply on hand , which they
would be glad to dspose of at prices 15c lo
25c lower than last week. Good light
stackers have been and continue lo bo in
very fair demand , but the heavier grades
are hard to sell at the above decline. Good
to choice feeders are quoted at $3.203.70 ;
fair to good at $3.003.15 , and lighter , com
moner grades at from $3 down.
DEPENDS ON PROVISIONS.
Packers are having a light In the provi
sion pit , and the hog mirkot Is up or down
In sympathy with the fluctuations on Iho
board. These big operators have n faculty
of covering up their Iracks nnd only showIng -
Ing their hands when 11 Is lo their interest
to do so , but It seems pretty generally
agreed that Swift and Morris are bulling
nnd Armour and a lot of the smaller pack
ers bearing the market. Armour did nol
buy a hog , cither at Chicago or elsewhere ,
for live days , a thing that never happened
before except when there was a strike.
Tills will explain why prices declined 15c
during the early part of tlio week , while
light supplies nnd the eastern freight rate
war will explain why this decline was fully
regained during the latter half of the week.
Aside from the above the situation pre
sents no now features. Tlio Cincinnati
Prlco Current says : "So tor as prices of
hogs are concerned , In comparison with val
ues of feeding material and of cured product ,
they continue to command a premium. The
Chicago market for lending articles of pro
duct Is on a basis of about $4.75 for hogs.
Hut , as has been ropoateuly said , the larger
packers , there nnd elsewhere , command fa
cilities for disposing of portions of the
product so advantageously as to enable thorn
to average a margin of profit when calcula
tions with reference to leading articles
might appear to Indicate differently. There
seems to bo a feeling quite prevalent at
interior points of supply that hogs are mar
keted quite closely , fao far as regards stock
which has been under preparation for ship
ment , which Information would Imply a
moderate movement for the tlmo of year
for the next two or three weeks , but there
appears to bo u plcntlfulness of young stock ,
which will probably have thu benefit of
every facility for rapid growth. " *
The cut In the ralo on llvo hogs from
Omaha lo Chicago from 22o lo 12c Is mainly
responsible for Iho tic lo lOc advance In
values Icday. Hecelpts were llghl , less than
5,000 head , and of these shippers took fully
70 per cent In order lo lake advanlago of tlio
reduced tariff , Local houses altogether
took less than 1-tOO hogs. Trade was active
nnd by the mlddlo of the forenoon the pens
were cleared. The general quality of the
hogs was about the best of the week and
buyers ' paid a slight premium for the goJd
heavy nml butcher weight stock. As usual ,
however , tlio entire range , of prices was
narrow. The best butcher weight and heavy
hogs sold at $5,05 , and very common Unlit
mixed stuff sold down as low as $4,95. For
fair to good hogs of all weights , however ,
the popular figure was $5 , considerably over
half Uio offerings selling In thai notch.
Early trading was n trifle slow , but the
close was active and strong at Iho advance.
On Friday Ihe bulk of the hogs went at
$4.90 to $4.95 , and on last Saturday the big
bulk of the hogs sold as they did loduy , al
the oven money , $5.
SIIBEP STEADY.
Supplies of sheep have been most
too light this week to 11 fiord a
fair test of the market , bul lU-slrahle offer
ings of both muttons and lambs com
manded a ready sale at good , firm prices ,
Today's receipts were moderate , the demand
was gcod and trade fairly active at
steady figures. Fair to good natives are
quotable at $3,60iQ14.25 ; fair to good westerns ,
$3.20Jj > 4.IS ; common and stock sheep , $2.50
