(Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Oct. 19. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) Scientific
1ondon stands astounded, but deeply grati
fied, at the results of experiments with the
dow system of. wireless telegraphy, as It
may be called, although It Is really much
wore than a mere transmission of tele
graphic signals.
Bounds, ns they are conveyed over the
telephone circuits, nro sent by this won
derful system and, of great further Im
portance, electrical power of high strength
apreds to distant points and does Its work
Just as well as It It were carried by the
ordinary metallic circuits.
Indeed, tho new system, known as the
Armorll system, bears many points of su
periority over that of Marconi, whom all
honor as the pioneer the Columbus of
wireless communication. The Invention Is
the Joint work of Ariel prllog, a Swedo, and
J. T. Armstrong, n Englishman, who have
been working without tho blare of pub
licity's trumpet until they hare finally per
fected their remarkable Ideas, making ac
tual facts of the theories.
The new Invention does not use tho air
for transmission as does that of (Marcont.
The cicatrical -waves are sent through the
ground, and ono charm Is tho simplicity
and cheapness of tho electrical Installa
tion. There aro no tall masts, as are used
at present to hoist the sending and re
ceiving points far tnio the air out of reach
of Interference. There can be no Inter
ference by tho Armorll system.
Interference Practically Impossible.
Mr. Armstrong has discovered that he can
vary the pitch or toae in which the radia
tions aro sent, much after the fashion of
the quadruple! and duplex systems In tel
graphy, by which tho electric currents are
divided and pass each other on one wire
without Interference. There are 40,000 dif
ferent tones, no ono of which will conflict
with another, so the chance of two, tones
of the same naturo meeting and destroying
one or both la reduced to one .In 40,000.
Experiments were made yesterday at the
home of Mr. Armstrong la Buckingham
shire. The conditions were of the worst,
since a heavy rain had fallen for twenty
four hours and a thick fog enveloped every
thing. Nevertheless the experiments were
absolutely satisfactory to the experts in
vited to witness them.
The entire outfit for either end of the
work was readily carried In the hands of
one man. A set was taken out to a field
and a splko attached to each wad stuck
Into tho ground. The spikes were 1,500
feet apart.
Tho apparatus for telephoning differs from
that for telegraphing, but each occupies a
small compass. That for the transmission
of power will fill greater or less space, ac
cording to the amount of power required,
but In any case It Is remarkably small.
Marvelous Results Achieved,
The experiments consisted In telephoning,
in transmitting tho ordinary Morse signals,
dots and dashes, In maneuvering a tor
pedo In a small lake, by the development
of which feature It may bo seen that the
newest and strongest of fortifications can
ho rendered usoless, the lighting of a lamp
in a house two miles and a half away by
pressing a button, the extinguishing of tho
Ugh "y "Kaln pressing the button, and the
exchanging of signals betwoea ships, a
small lake being used for this experiment
and for that with the torpedo. The torpedo
was made to execute the strangest of evo
lutions at the will or the operator and sug
gestions of those who looked on. It was
agreed that the new system has a limitless
field.
The inventors are not yet willing to
glvo out tho secrets of their work, to which
no one can object, since, according to the
export electricians present, they have per
fected the electrical triumph of all time to
date.

Farrar. an American girl of 20, with a ro
markable voice, has created a most favor
able Impression upon the musical world of
Berlin by her singing of tho rolo of
Marguerite in tho grand opera of "Faust"
this week at the Hoyal Opera house. The
fact that she was permitted to sing tho
part in Italian shows that sho had con
quered the directors of the opera house, for
the strongest rule has hitherto required
that "Faust" should be sung In German.
Although Miss Farrar still has much to
learn, her voice is a fine, clear soprano
and the best Judges of singing horo think
It will develop Into one of great prominence.
She Is a native of Melrose. Mass.. and had
thorough musical training In Boston. When
Melba was singing at the Boston theater
with', the Damrosch company a few seasons
ago Miss Farrar obtained permission to
alng before her and made suoh an Impres
sion that she was promptly engaged for
the company at a salary of $5,000 and put
under Melba's training. From that time
she advanced rapidly.

In a. friendly manner. She has the promise
of a battering engagement at the Royal

CROWD SWARMS TO SEE THE SPECTACLE
Incitement of Snturdny MaM .hon
ner I Nhort-Lltcri, ror Trained
Organisation Conquer Quickly
Aaralast Serious Odds.
What threatened to be a most disastrous
conflagration, sweeping away thousande of
dollars worth of property, was happily
headed off last night by tho prompt and
efficient work ot Chief Salter and his force
of lire, fighters.
The flro was discovered shortly after 9
o'clock on the fourth floor of tho building
nt 1116 Howard street. Before tho alarm
was turned In tho (lames had ovldcntly been
feeding for somo llttlo tlmo nnd a mistake
in turning in tho alarm still further du
layed the arrival of tho lire department.
By the time tho first company wns on thn
scene tho lire hud spreud to the fifth floor
of tho May building nnd was rapidly work
Ing through both the W. I Mny wholesale
grocery and the Great Western typo fom
dry. These concerns occupied the five
story brick building and wero only divided
by a wooden partition. Thanks to the good
work of tho flro department, although nil
five floors of the building were flooded with
water, the fire did not get below the third
floor and tho total damage will hardly reach
$60,000, when It might easily havo been ten
times as much.
Other Property Saved.
For a time It looked as though tho Mer
cer Chemical company's bulldng, which nd
Joins the type foundry on tho eat, and the
building of tho Carpenter Paper company,
which Is Immediately west of the Mny com
pany's store, wcro In Imminent danger. By
skillful work the flamen were gotten under
control and tho adjoining buildings and
stocks saved from damage other than tba:
caused by smoke and water.
Largo crowds of spectators were at
tracted from the busy streets by the om
inous glow that lit un thn nkv. but Ihn
spectacle was extremely short-lived. Mayor
Moorea, who was personally on htnd, cx-
pressca special gratification nt tho uumtv.
In which Chief Salter and his I'SHiclatct
handled tho fire. When I. R. Carpenter,
ono of the proprietors of the Carpenter
Paper company, whose establishment was
kept unharmed, complimented Chief Salter,
the mayor replied:
"I am slad to have you annreeintn tlin
fact that wo have a fire chief who puts out
fires. Salter has been putting out fires
for many years, but never got tho credit
for It until he was mado chief."
.Sample of llrnvc Work.
An act of conspicuous bravery was that
performed by Captain John Coylo of en
gine No. 2, who stood exposed to the fury
of the flames at tho top of tho rear flro
escape until his mon could bring up u linn
ot hose. Tbo. coat was burned from bin
back nnd it was only with tho greatest
difficulty that he was able to keep his place.
Tho mayor witnessed tho Incident and com
mended tho captain for his bravery.
The only accident which occurred hap
pened to Fireman Billy Croft of tho same
company. Ho was off on furlough, but
when tho general alarm was sounded ho
rushed to the scene. While assisting in
carrying a line of hoso falling glass from
one of tho upper stories cut a deep gash
on the back of his hand. He was removed
in tho patrol wagon to tho police station,
whore City Physlctnn Ralph dressed the
wound, which Is not serious.
Tho Great Western typo foundry carried
$25,000 Insurance nnd members of the firm
estimate the vnltlo of tho Htock at $37,
000. Tho damage to tho stock is supposed
to bo covered by the Insurance. The elec-
trotyplng and stereotyping foundry wero on
the floors which woro gutted and were
badly damaged. Tho policies ot the com
pany were not accessible und It was Im
possible to ascertain what companies have
tbo Insurance.
Covered hy IiiMurauce.
W. L. May & Co. had $16,000 Insurance
and the value of their stock wim variously
estimated at from $25,000 to $30,000. W.
L. May said after the fire that ho believed
that the company's loss is completely cov- '
ered by insurance. Willow and wooden
ware aud other highly Inflammable ma
terial wero stored on tho top floor ot the
grocery company's store. The more val
uable stock was stored on the lower floors
and was only damaged by water and smoke.
Mrs. Guy Howard, daughter of J. M.
Woolworth, Is tho owner of the damaged
building. Insuranco amounting to $17,000
Is carried on tho building and Is divided
among the following companies.- Hartford,
New York Undorwrltors, Palatine, Thoenlx,
Orient and Maryland Casualty. The root
of tho building was more than halt de
stroyed, The two upper stories were com
pletely gutted nnd considerable damage tn
the building was done by water. The base
ments of the burned buildings and the
bauements ot adjoining buildings werr
badly flooded.
Origin a In Doubt.
The origin of the flro Is not known. W,
L. May says that there bad been no fire In
bis placo and he thought it started from
the foundry type metal furnace on tho
fourth floor.
The first alarm of the Are was sent from
Twelfth and Farnam streets. This caused
a delay, as the metnbern of tho depart
ment lost several minutes In locating thn
blaze after they hail made the run down
the Farnam street hill. As soon as Chief
Salter located the fire he ordered a general
alarm and soon had all the companies lu
the city on the scene. Four englneii and
the water tower nnd nerlnl truck were
called Into play. Tho board partitions and
the highly inflammable nature ot the goods
stored In the upper stories of the building
gave the flames great headway.
The fire started toward the hack end of
the building and brnko nut at the windows
In the rear before the department arrived.
It found so much fuel that the flamen
mounted high and threatened to reach Into
adjoining buildings.
The Are fighters wero first concentrated
In tho rear of the building and carried
