That appears to r. the Mllnt for the
Champions this n-awn. It mlfcht have bfpn
Second, or maybe Letter, but for the hard
luck ' thm followed tho bun li from the
first day down to the present. Just a
little, hitting would have mad nil tho
difference In the world. Sixtrrn r.f the
games Omaha has lost this uraton have
been lost hy a sitiRle run. and In each of
these there mere time when a safe hit
would have sent home two runs or more
than enough to win. If you adjust the
balance of the Omaha team on this basis
it would be perched In first place by a
mall margin. Two frames were lost to
1 Moines by the merest turn of luck,
one through Martin's failure to handle an
easy hit grounder, and the other through
MrCloskeys Inability to play lr ft field, and
If these had gone right, what a difference
It would have made. Hut a ' post mortem"
Is unsatisfactory; If Omaha had won the
pennant again the Itourke family would
have been champions for 1:106. but Omaha
didn't win the pennant, and It wasn't the
fault of Papa Bill either. Next year the
tribe of Rnurke will be making the rest
of them hustle Just the same.
Omaha was Jolted pretty hard by the
craft. McCloskey and S hlpke being two
mighty hard men to replace, but Manager
Rourke had been looking for something of
that sort, and has already several young
fellows under leash for next season. He
may not get a star like Slugger Hill right
away, but he will not lie found without
ome one to play the bag. Some explana
tion should be made of the Tfeister case,
as a great many of the local fans are
wondering why Hlg Jack was not taken.
After his deal with the Chicago Nationals
fell through, the Hart management thought
to save about half the purchase price by
drafting him. It so turned out that three
drafts were made from the Omaha team,
i while but two are allowed under the rule.
I In this case the dispute Is rleelried hv l,,r
Srhlpke and McCloskey, and Chicago was
left, a proper result for not taking Pfcister
at the start Instead of trying to draft him.
Pig Jack now hat a deal on with a Na
tional league club, the outcome of which
will not be known for some time. The
manager wants Pfelster bud enough, but
does not want to meet him on salary
terms. It must be understood that Pfels
ter Is not under reservo to Omaha, and
, has. full control of his own movements
j after the playing season cloBes. He was
subject to draft, but not to sale, and the
jmftuiiaiiiiuH wun nicgo were carriea on
through Rourke with Pfel.sW'a consent.
The deal now on Is of pfeister'a own ar
rangement. He has told Rourke that he
will play In Omaha next season If he does
not get hla terms from the big league. He
Is anxious to go up. but he wants the
money If he goes. His 1280 per month In
Omaha looks much better than the same
sum In a National league town, and if he
goes It will be for Just double the salary
tie la now getUng. Pfelster Is the king pin
south -paw of the country today, and the
team that gets him will have a star and a
money brlnger.
Dea Moines papers are making a plea for
Mike Cantlllon that he should be allowed
to abuse umpires and do pretty much as
his erratic nature suggests, because he
savd the league. To prove that he aaved
the league these papers say that he put up
I1.J00 to secure the transfer of Colorado
Springs to Pueblo, when none of the other
team owners would put up a cent. Presi
dent O'Nell Is credited with giving $sno for
the same purpose. All of which sounds like
well, you know. It Is a fact that Bill
Rourke and Mike Cantlllon did put up the
money to save the team from going to
Pieces, and that George Tebeau refused to
put up a. cent. The same thing is true at
St. Joseph, but Rourke hasn't aa yet asked
any , special privileges because he helped
hold the league together. The plain truth
Is that Mike Cantlllon started out at the
very beginning of the season to bulldoze
people and has kept It up to the very end.
Result he Is the most thoroughly despised
manager around the circuit, and no amount
of newspaper apology Is going to win him
farglveneaa from the public he has again
and again insulted. If he will behave him
self fee may win some approbation, but he
will get nothing by a continuation of his
rowdyism.
Foot ball will soon hold the limelight both
In this community and all over the country.
The Omaha High School foot ball squad
war out to some extent during the last
week.' but no especial effort was made by
Captain Barnett to Hue up hla forces. The
time was spent in simply klckfhg the ball
a Jlttle and renewing old acquaintances.
The high school was unfortunate last year
in Its schedule becaus Crelghtoa univer
sity made arrangements for every Satur
day afternoon at the Vinton Street park,
ta.ua abutting out the high school from
local games. No money can be made on
games played away from home and the
team baa to rely on Its local games to
provkJs the wherewithal with which to
hire coaches and to provide paraphernal la.
If this source of revenue is shut off, as It
Was last fall, the team cannot live.
I Many other (earns will be organised be
fore) the season Is much further advanced.
The Omaha Commercial college will again
bare a foot ball team In the field, as will
also Boyles Business college. Both of
these Institutions have new buildings,
quipped with the moat modern gymnas
iums, and will pay especial attention to
athletics, and foot ball In particular.
Skilled coaches will be employed and the
town will be given a carnival of foot ball
. such as It has never before enjoyed. We
may not be able to induce the Vniverslty
of, Nebraska management to allow Its foot
ball team to be seen on the Omaha grounds
against one of the stronger teams, but
there will be plenty of good games. Ne
braska refused to play the Iowa game in
Omsha on a 12.000 guarantee and went to
Iqw City, where the receipts were not
roo.
South Dakota Is to have another splendid

near with better prospects of a winning
team, to represent the institution on the
gridiron. Many of the stars of last year's
team will return, and these, together with
new and good players recruited from the
high schools around the state, will form
the nucleus of a team that should have
no difficulty In walking away with the
state championship. Of last year's line
men Center Johnson, Guards Tollofson and
Orr, Tackles Cuppett and Captain Brown,
will be In the game. On the ends will be
Hunton and Case, two plavers of consider
ahle ability. Tho back tieid will have of

and Morningslde college.
The suggestion of the members of the
Omana KMd club for a state golf tourna
ment was acted upon with a vim by the
clubs of the state. Some have their golf
clubs In an embryo state, but the necessity
of getting a team together for the big state
tournament has made all hustle to be
represented to the fullest extent. An ef
fort will be made to sell the entry list
to sixty or seventy for the first meet and
thus make a mark for future tournaments
to shoot at If they wish to make good. The
Field club has made an enviable reputa
tion In the matter of entertainments for
these visiting clib members and the big
club house Is well suited for caring for
large numbera There Is plenty of locker
room space and plenty of locker rooms
and the baths are ample so that there will
be no crowding, no matter In what numbers
the golfers from the state towns may come
in. Considering the short space of time
which has been consumed In making all
arrangements for this tournament are
committee Is surely deserving the highest
praise. Although some discouragements
were encountered at first, enough towns
replied to warrant the committee to go on
with the tournament, making the event as
strong as possible and thus opening the
way for bigger and better things for an
other yar.

It Is probable that another western crew
besides Wisconsin may go to Poughkeepsle
for eastern rowing honors. Alumni of the
University of Minnesota are already plan
ning the formation of a crew which it Is
proposed to send to the Hudson. A dam
across the river which flows near the uni
versity Is now in process of construction.
and on Its completion will form a lake at
least two miles long. This, with the river,
which can also be used, will furnish fa
cilities which It Is hoped will help Minne
sota to develop a creditable crew.
The project is already under discussion
by the Alumni of the university, who have
expressed themselves as willing to sub
scribe an amount sufficient to equip and
support at least a 'varsity crew. The dam
will not be completed before twelve or
fifteen months, and it Is not expected that
a crew which will be able to take part In
Intercollegiate races can be developed be
fore the spring of 17. It may be that if
such a crew is formed Minnesota may be
content with a dual race with Wisconsin,
and that unless fast time Is apparent
neither university will send a crew to the
university regatta.
Alfred Shrubb. the world's champion dis
tance runner, and J. M. Morton, the cham
pion English sprinter, havs landed in
Canada from England and will In all proba
bility visit the United States early In Sep
tember. Arthur Duffey, the American
sprinter. Just home from abroad, received
a letter from Shrubb recently stating that
the English runner had succeeded in getting
the ban against his American trip lifted.
In the event of Shrubb visiting New York
it Is likely he will try to lower some Amer
ican distance records at the New York
Athletic club games to be held at Travers
inland September 13. The figures for two
and four miles are at the mercy of the
little Englishman. It Is quite likely he
oould break both of these records on the
same afternoon. Shrubb's traveling mate,
Morton, - Is the best sprinter the British
Isles has known In many a day. He de
feated Arthur Duffey In several match
races In England last summer and could
probably do the same with any of the east
ern dashers, with the exception of Shlck
of Harvard.
Nearly all of the big eastern colleges are
making preliminary plana for the foot ball
season, although they do cot begin work
until September 11 or 12. But candidates
for the teams have already been at the
college towns for several weeks. Cornell,
Pennsylvania and Columbia begin work on
tho dates mentioned, and Yale, Harvard
and Princeton will also commence work in
a very few days. Coach Reld Is already
deep at work In the preliminary planning
for the Harvard team. He has a card
Index with the name of every candidate
eligible for the team. On each card he
keeps the statistics and the college stand
ing of the man whose name is at the top.
Harvard has lost so many men through
failure to keep up in their studies that
every precaution will be taken to compel
the men to keep up their university work
as well as to train faithfully. Reld has
enough veterans back to make almost a
whole eievrn, and he ia connning his pre
liminary work principally to the formation
of new plays.
Yale Is facing two new disappointments
to add to the defection of Mike Murphy.
Ltavenworth. last Reason's half back, w ho,
although he was graduated last year, was
expected to take a postgraduate course aud
play again, has signed a contract to
coach the University of Alabama team
and will not be back in the ranks of the
Blues. The other disappointment, which
Is also keenly felt. Is the loss of Thompson,
the crack Andover guard, who was ex
pected to make a strong bid for a place
next to the center. He has decided to go
to Cornell and start his college foot ball
work under the tutelage of Glenn Warner.
So many of last year's veterans will be
missing this season that the Yale coaches
will have a difficult uuk la turning out a
championship team, but everything la ready
at New Haven to start practice in earnest.
Princeton has suffered much by reason of
the graduation of old players, and the
mount of available new .oaterlal which
will report for practice Is still unknown.
There are several good men who are said
to be about to enter the New Jersey uni
versity, however, and It Is on these and
some promising substitutes of last yeur
that the coaches base their hopes.
The addition of Thompson Is the cause
of much rejoicing In the Cornell camp.
It is reported that SchlldmlHer, end on last
year's Andover team, has also decided to
enter Cornell, and Klrkerger. a 2r-pound
center, on last year's Mercersberg team.
Is another player whom the Ithleans ex
pect to add to their squad. Luby, quarter
back on the same team, is another possi
ble candidate for the Ithleans' team.
Warner has been working all summer per
fecting plans for practice, which starts on
September 11. Several foot ball men have
been In Ithaca for summer school and they
have been keeping In condition with light
practice all through the vacation months.
Pennsylvania also begins practice on Sep
tember 11. with prospects for an unusually
good team. Tractlcally the only places
which have to be filled are the guards, and
there ?mi to be plenty of material to
strengthen these spots. Columbia, which
starts practice on September 12, Is rather
an unknown quantity.
The great success of Beals C. Wright In
the all-convrs' lawn tennis tournament at
Newport should prove a great Incentive
to the young players who Imagine that the
race Is only to the swift, or. In other words,
that their ultimate chances for supremacy
against the cracks are very small. It is
not so many years ago that Travis took
up golf, and playing In as many matches
as possible, was beaten with monotonous
regularity; but far from being discouraged
he stuck to It, with the result that he Is
today regarded by thousands as the finest
exponent of the great game this side of
the water. Certainly as a student of tho
game he has no superior. And one
might almost say the rise of Wright la
equally notable. Gradually, year by year,
he has been working Ms way to the top
notch of the ladder; first obtaining recog
nition by the executive committee of the
United States Lawn Tennis association In
the year 1K9, he being ranked in eighth
place, boosted up four places the following
year. No. 2 In 1901. the year when he was
a runnner-up to W. A. Larned In a similar
tournament to the one Just completed, and
on whom he amply turned the tables In
the semi-final round this year; third posi
tion In 1902, and fourth In the two following
years.
Last year brought him most strongly for
ward as a championship possibility, for
many up to then had declared In his favor
for the doubles alone. Davis having practi
cally withdrawn from partnership with
Ward. Various round robin Invitation
tournaments had given him lots of practice
against the leaders, and time and again
he was out on top. In addition, he se
cured premier honors In the New England
championship, the Massachusetts Ktate
championship, (for the fourth consecutive
year), and finally the Canadian champion
ship for the third consecutive year, thus
securing the trophy which had been keenly
contested for since 18!), and which In the
fifteen succeeding years had been held by
ten different champions. When his selec
tion on the American team was announced
there were many who expected he would
be chosen to represent his country In the
singles, as. well as the doubles. In the
effort to regain possession of the Davis
International cup, and though at the last
loment Larned was chosen for this honor,
right thoroughly "made good" in the
doubles event, for the English critics were
unanimous in their praises of bis individual
work on the courts.
That this was no fluke the Newport tour
nament fully proves, for In defeating Ho
bart In the final round he certainly had
the hardest work of anyone In the prelim
inary matches, scoring hollow victories
over W. C. Grant, W. F. Johnson, Harry
F. Allen, William J. Clothier and William
A. Larned, as opposed to his opponent's
successes against F. C. Colston, O. Chew
(default), R. N. Dana, Richard Stevens and
the western champion, Krelgh Collins. The
left-hander Is a wonderful master of all
strokes and his capacity for covering the
court is nothing short of wonderful. A
little weak in the service, perhaps, he more
than atones for this In his remarkable ac
curacy, and with youth on his side he Is
bound to remain an Important factor in the
annals of American tennis history for many
years to come. Of course, the crowning
vent of his history was ths capturing of
championship honors in the challenge
round. Without In any way detracting
from his victory it should nevertheless be
borne In mind that the ten days' play and
the quality of the players he had to meet
had put him In great shape for this contest
ing match and In this way he had a strong
advantage over the holder of the title.
On account of the tremendous power that
Is now supplied by racing automobiles and
the dangers that are In evidence when they
are driven at high speed, either on the
track or road, the suggestion has been
made that. In future contests, cars should
be entered only when they have a motor
of a certain size.
The Idea is to limit ths cylinder volume
to a certain size bore and stroke, like 6x4
Inches or (Hz44, which would put manu
facturers on their mettle to bring out a
machine which would be the fastest under
restrictions of that sort. If two or three
manufacturers had motors of equal size,
the maker who could get the most of that
power to ths rear wheels by proper trans
mission, by reducing the weight of the
car and by building the machine on proper
lines, would naturally be credited with
naving trie best automobile. Cars so
made would probably travel around a mile
a minute, but no faster, and would be safe,
compared with the present racing machines
that cover miles in forty or forty-five
seconds.
"One of the greatest mistakes that th
newcomer in automoblling makes la to neg
lect his car." said an automoblllst of many
years' experience. "A motor car needs car
Just the same as any other piece of ma
chinery, and even though It runs well for
a week or so. It should be carefully gone
over every so often and proper adjust
ments made. A big locomotive, after a few
hours' run over smooth rails, is carefully
examined and oiled, while an automoblllst
thinks nothing of pounding over rough
roads for six or eight hours and paying no
attention to his car at the finish. There
are many little things about a car that
mould be kept adjusted in order to get ths
best results. Pounding and rattling are
distasteful to anyone and especially to an
automobile owner. A little care In taking
up wear on the various working parts. In
keeping all the parts oiled and as free as
possible from dust and grit will add many
years to the life of the car and furnish
much easier and more pleasant riding. To
me It Is a marvel how some sutomobiles
keep running when It Is considered how
little rare they receive.'
"Although there are lots of wrenches
on the market," said an automoblllst re
cently. '-I have yet to find a wrench that
makes removal of spark plugs easy, except
where they have been made by chauffeurs.
I know a driver who took a plecs of Iron
piping about six Inches long and squared
up ths ends so that It fitted a spark plug.
Then he put a tola U Its ciLar
through which a lead pencil or a plecs of
of steel could be Inserted for leverage. This
set right over the plug end It could be
removed Instantly. Such a thing rut on
the market could not fall to meet with a
ready sale, especially among those who
drive cars with motors under the body,
and where It Is not tlie easiest thing in
the world to get a grip on the spark plug
with the ordinary wrench."
,
A lover of statistics has figured out that
In the recent six-day race held at Ixmg
Branch, the motor of the winning' car
revolved alout l.nen.Ono times a day. or
6.O00.000 times during the week, and during
that time was stopped b-ss than twenty
minutes. Conservatively figured, the motor
turned over Too tines a minute, which means
times an hour or about l,0uf,0"0 times
In the tweny-four hours. From this It can
be readily understood to what degree of
perfection motor manufacturers have
brought their product.
Automobile "parks.
Messrs. Uun Pros of Platte Center,
Neb . bought a touring car through Mr.
F. W. Bacon last week.
M. J. Baker made an aritomnMl trip to
I?lgh. Neb., last week and Friday drove

A carload of Oldsmoblles were delivered
to the Powell-Racon company the last week.
A. T. O'Connor, from the Olds factory. Is

machines within the next few days.
Emll Brandeis returned last week from
an eastern trip, where he looxed over some
of the new machines. He announces very
few radical departures for next year.
J. M. Shelley has purchased a 19" White

A number of Omaha tourists returned the
last week. Mr. Bewail Sleuman, who made
a trip In his machine out to Hastings and
other points where ne nas grain interests,
returned Monday and reported a very sails
factory trip. Mr. I C. Nash, who left for
Dubuque a week ago Saturday In his White
"steamer." returned Friday morning. Mr.
Nash made the 4)(-nille hitch without trou
ble of any kind with his machine. He says
they lost considerable time slopping for
teams on the way. but had considerable
amusement out of it. One of the parties
who stopped them went to lead the horses
by the car, but had some difficulty getting
hem by. as they lingered to eat some long
grass alongside the machine. Mr. Ed Balrd,
one of the party, broke up a camp meeting
by tooting the horn In front of the meeting

Carpenter's Letter.
(Continued from Page Five.)
than ten of the best American acres. He
says that one acre of good Cuban sugar
land will at a low estimate yield J2S6 per
annum, and lands set out in oranges and
other tropical fruits even more.
His farm settlements combine the advan
tages of the Canadian and American farm
home with those of the farm villages of
Europe. The unit of division Is the cabal-
lerla, or thirty-three and one-third acres.
Each farm settlement consists of eight ca-
ballerlas In the form of a square, cut by
two roads running at right angles to the
middle of the square and by additional lines
bisecting the square and Joining the cor
ners. This makes eight triangular divisions
of square which meet at the center of the
block. The Idea Is to have a square park In
the center and facing It the houses of the
eight families which shall own the eight
tracts of land. Each man's house will be
on his own land and at the same time his .
family will be close to those of his neigh
bors, affording social Intercourse. Nine
units of this kind forming nine farm set
tlements will be Joined together In another
great square, at the center of which Is a
town site. At the latter there will be a
postofflce, a school, a -store and a black
smith shop. Such a town would have sev
enty-two families tributary to It and It
would probably have telephonic connection
with each little settlement It would be
large enough to support a doctor and as
there would be more than 150 school chil
dren In the different families there would
be no difficulty in getting a good teacher
for a public school, and as none of the su
bordinate settlements would be more than
half a mile from the town site the children
could easily attend school.
According to Sir William Van Home's
estimate such a farm of thirty-three acres
Is equal In Its money producing power to
one of 3j0 acres In the United States, and
it is about as much as one family can at
tend to without outsld help. Those who
wish more lands can buy additional units,
the scheme being capable of indefinite ex
pansion. The plan Is much liked here and
It will probably be adopted by other de
velopment companies In opening up their
properties. If It becomes common It will
result In giving the farmers of eastern
Cuba more social advantages than their
class anywhere the world over.
Personal Investigation Seeded.
In closing this letter I urge all would-be
Investors In Cuban lands to come to the
Island and look over the country themselves
before making purchases. The opportuni
ties for making money are enormous. Lands
are bound to rise In value. The soil Is
amongst the most fertile of the world, and
ths Island will probably become the fruit
and winter market garden of the United
States.
There is, however, a great difference in
lands and locations, and freight rates will
often mean failure or success. There are
honest real estate agents here, but there
are also land sharks. There are develop
ment companies operated as fairly as any
In the United States, and although the
lands sold by some of them are apparently
high, taking everything into consideration
they are comparatively cheap. The man
who buys land In Cuba, however, should
be on the ground and study the conditions:
he should look at the property himself be
fore he hands over his money. He should,
If possible, reach the real owner, either
himself or by agents, and, what Is very
important, he should have the title ex
amined by a respectable native lawyer, and
if possible by one who resides near the
property. Each province In Cuba has Its
local conditions, and the local lawyer often
understand the title about him better
than those who live far away. Lawyer
fees are not high, and money au spent may
be cheap in the end.

Safety in Ocean Travel.
In the presence of ths fearful loss of life
In accidents on our railroads It Is with
relief that we contemplate the ever-lncreas
lng safety of travel by sea. Year after
passes by without any of the Important
passenger steamers that cross the Atlantic
ooean. or other oceans on which passen
ger travel Is heavy, meeting with an acci
dent that causes risk of life or limb to the
passengers. This fact Is the more remark
able when we remember that ocean travel
has Increased by leap and bound daring
the past decade; that not only are there
more steamers following the lanes of
travel, but that they are running at much
higher speed. The mail steamers come
and go with a regularity approaching that
of the best railroad schedule, and It takes
ths very fiercest of Atlantic midwinter
gales to interfere seriously with this punc
tuality. In seeking for the causes of this
remarkable Immunity from accidents we
have to look not at the natural, but at
the human elements of the situation,
fieas are as broad snd Vmpetuous ss
ever, fogs as Impenetrable as those that i
baffled the early navigators still brood
over the surface of the deop; the sunken
reefs, ths shifting sand bar, ths variable

There is a familiar saving, and a true one, that "Time proves all
things." When a medicine has stood this test for a period of forty
years, and is then more in popular favor than ever, there is no doubt
as to its merits. This is the standard by which S. S. S. has been
measured, and its record of forty years of cures fully justifies its pop
ularity as a blood medicine. For nearlv half a century this great
remedy has been used in the treatment of blood and skin diseases of every character, and so
satisfactory have been the results that it is now the best known aud most widely used blood
medicine in the world. The success of S. S. S. is based upon the fact that it has always
done everything claimed for it; it has maintained the confidence of the people because it de
served it The constantly increasing demand for S. S. S. is the result of the good words
spoken of it by those who have been cured of disease by its use, and, therefore, know from
experience that it is the greatest of all blood purifiers. ITS FORTY YEARS OF EXIST"
ENCE HAVE BEEN FORTY YEARS OF CURES. For Rheumatism,' Catarrh, Scrofula,
Chronic Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Toison, and all other diseases

Soma ten years ago I nsed your 8. P. S. with the most
satisfactory results. From childhood np I had ben both
ered with bad blood, characterized by skin eruptions and
bolls, especially bad in the summer. For five or six sum
mers I had bolls ranging from five to twenty in number
each season. Onr local physicians prescribed for me, but
nothing they gave me did away with the annoying skin
eruptions or prevented the bolls from appearing. The
burning aocompanying tho eruption was terrible, and I had
as high as six boils at one time. My condition was truly a
pitiable one when I began 8. S, 8. It seemed to be Just
the medicine needed in my case. It drove out all impuri
ties and bad blood and restored the circulation to its orig
inal strength and purity, giving me permanent relief from
the skin eruption and bolls. This has been ten years ago
and I have never had a return of the disease. I would state
also that my husband has taken it with good results.

eases and discomforts of old age and giving strength and vigor to their declining constitu
tions. Not only is S. S. S. certain in its results, but it is safe. Being made entirely from
roots, herbs and barks of the forests and fields, chosen for their healing, cleansing and building-up
properties, it acts gently and pleasantly on the delicate members and tissues of the
body. S. S. S. enjoys the distinction of being the only blood remedy on the market that does
not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind. If you are in need of a blood remedy do
not experiment with unproved vaedicines, but get S. S. S., the remedy that has the endorse
ment of millions of people, ani one that has proved its worth by its forty years of cures.
All sufferers from blood or skin diseases are invited to write to our Medical Department,
stating their case, and our physicians will take pleasure in giving the medical advice needed,
aud will send our books on the different diseases. We make no charge for the advice or

triumphs of the invention and the perfect
ing of human control and management that
we must look for an explanation of the all
but absolute security of steamship travel
today. The secret of this security Is to be
found both in the structure of the ship
Itself and in the marvelously ingenious
devices which science and Invention have
placed at the service of the navigator to
guide him In the more perilous phases of
his duty. Without enumerating those ele
ments of water-tight subdivisions, vaat
slse and better control in the ship Itself,
or the wonderfully sensatlve and refined
apparatus at the command of the modern
navigator, we need but refer to two of the
very latest safegards In the form of wire
less telegraphy and sub-marine signaling.
to show that the present Immunity from
accidents Is traceable to clearly recognised
human causes.
The last named Invention Is a close rival
to the wireless telegraph In the great In
crease that It has made In the safety nf
travel on the sea. Testimony to Its effi
ciency was recently given by an officer of
the Kaiser Wilhelm derGrosse, upon which
the hew equipment Is carried. We have so
frequently described the device In the col
umns of the Scientific American that It Is
sufficient to say that at the lighthouse or
lightship there Is a bell upon which signals
are sounded and that upon the ship is
carried a receiving1 device In the form of
an Iron tank attached to the Inside of the
plating below the water line, from which
wires are to be led to telephones In the
chart room or on the bridge. One receiver
is placed on each side of the ship, with
separate wires from each, and by the use
of the telephones the officer Is able to hear
a bell that Is being struck at a point many
miles distant from the ship and determine
Its direction.
The officer of the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Grosse states that on the last trip .over,
when the ship was four miles distant from
ths mouth of the River Weaer, he plainly
made out the signals conveyed from the
lightship there. Furthermore, as the ves
sel neared Nantucket and when it was
about four miles distant from the lightship
he heard through the telephone the signal
"64." This consists of six strokes of the !
bell, a pause, and then six more strokes of
the bell, which is the Nantucket lightship
code signal. At about the same distance
from the Fire Island light and from the
Sandy Hook lightship the respective signals
were distinctly audible. The value of this
device In preventing collisions between ap
proaching ships Is evident, for It has this
advantage over the foghorn, that the di
rection of the approaching vessel, whether
from port or starboard. Is determined at
once by the fact that the sounds are audi
ble to the port or starboard telephone.
