Progressive Events in the Field of Electricity
ianals To and From Enaln Cabs.
HE subject of signaling to and
TT I from locomotive cabs Is recelv
I I lng earnest attention both In
mis country ana aoroau. in
vestigation and experiments are
going with a view to develop
ing a system that will prove of value, The
Boston Vranscrlpt describes a signaling ap- .
paratus designed by Vincent Raven, chief
assistant mechanical engineer of the Brit
ish Northeastern railroad, and the experi
mental use of It on passenger engines on
thut linn for two years past. No attempt
lias been made to develop It by trials on
slow trains. Undpr the conditions of use, the
apparatus Is said to be working well, and
4 he Northeastern company has arranged for
the equipment of twenty more of their en
gines and of about fourteen miles of their
main line between Newcnstle and Durham.
The system Is' electrical and embodies a
cab semaphore actuated by the contact of
wire brushes fixed to the engine, with in
sulated mntat bars placed on the line. Be
sides the semaphore arm there are pointers
which Indicate which route 'are open at a
Junction, and a bell rings to call the
driver's attention whenever a new signal
Is received. "As additional security, wheels
hung' from bra'ckets on the engine come
Into contact with prlng bars at the sides
of ths track, arid In rotating Intermittently
close, the same circuit as the brushes above
mentioned. The last indication rt-ceived is
recorded by the semaphore until displaced
by the next. The use of brushes or other
contacts Is not a necessity of the system,
for slight modifications would ennble the
signal to be received by magnetic Induction
without any contact being made at all.
The design of the apparatus by a responsi
ble railway official Insures that the condi
tions sf railway working are known and
appreciated. It Is free from the glaring
Impracticability that marks the efforts of
nthuslastic outsiders to solve this and
similar problems. But whether It 1b all
that can be desired la quite another mat
ter. On the Falrford branch of the Oreat
Western railway a system -of audible cab
signaling ia in use which appears in many
respects more simple than that described.
In this a constantly excited electro rnag
net controls a small steam whistle in the
cab and the equivalent of pausing of a
signal at "Danger" de-energizes the mag
net and causes the whistle to blow. Any
. failure of the electric circuit obviously
produces the same effect, so that the .
healthy condition of ths apparatus Is In
dicated with certainty. The "all right"
signal la given by a bell, so that there can
be no confusion between the two, and the
mors Important of ths two at least cannot
fall to attract ths driver's attention, even
when running, bunker first, or however
deeply engaged In thought. Ths use of a
bell for both' "danger" and "all right"
calls In Mr. Raven's system. It Is said, is a
rtsky feature. There also Is objection to It
on. the score of cost. Any cab signaling
system cannot replac tbs ordinary sema
phores until the whole of tha engines using
ths line re equipped. Further, no "for
eign" engine could run over ths track of
, the company In question unless equipped,
for ths ordinary semaphores for Its guid
ance would be absent.
There la Utile doubt that sooner mr lata
soma method of cab signaling will be con
sidered essential to safe railway working.
That It will be more than mere signaling
the entrance to a danger zone automati
cally stopping the train is almost as cer
tain. Ths actual method of picking up the
signals cannot be forecasted.
A wire brush such as Mr. Raven uses Is
probably the only sort of contractor that la
feasible. If the brush is rigid and ths
plate Is movable one always has to fear
the days when It will become Jammed and
wll tear off the contactor from the engine.
Magnetic Induction seems in prlncipe the
best means of transmitting the 'signals to
the moving train. This involves no con
tact at all, and If sufficient energy can be
transmitted to insure the reception of defi
nite signals it would seem to present the
fewest difficulties. Whatever means are
adopted they should be like the semaphore
in maintaining connection with the loco
motive over a long space. A driver can see
a signal in clear weather for several hun
dred yards, and If It can be thrown, up
against him if anything unforeseen occurs,
even after It has been lowered
IasatatiuaT Covering.
The requisite features In any insulating
covering are continuity, toughness, elas
ticity and high dielectric strength. More
over, the Insulation should be inert to such
Influences as changes in temperature, ex
cessive humidity. In the atmostphere and
oorroslve gases N with which it might
naturally be brought Into contact. The
following claims show, according to the
American Machinist, what performance
may be expected from wire Insulated by
an enamelling process: The enamel Is ex-'
peeled to withstand a temperature of GOO
degrees Farenhelt for a considerable time
without injuring its Insulating properties.
This degree' of heat reduces the elasticity
of the enamel, but Its Insulating properties
are not. affected If tha windings are not dis
turbed. The enamel la not waterproof when
actually submerged, but It has a very con
siderable resistance to atmospheric humid
ity. lOnamelled wire kept for seventy-two
hours In an atmosphere of 90 per cent
humldly at ordinary temperature under
went no-change in Its Insulation, and was
able at the same temperature to withstand
9 per oent humidity tor twenty-four hours.
Chemicals and g-asea which will not act on
ths wire Itself have no action on the en
amel. Tha ratio of ' Insulating power of
the enamel Is applied to a 1:4, and hence
when enamel is applied to a wire the coat
ing need only be a fourth as thick In com
parison with silk to attain aa equal degree
of Insulation. 1

IaeralaeT Comforts f Hoss.
Electricity bas added much to the com
forts of the horns, from ringing ths door
bell to sifting ths ashes; from lighting ths
rooms to cooking ths food, and now It has
condescended to take on ths additional
responsibility of cleaning ths house.
Primarily, the electric house cleaner con
sists of a small movable device equipped
wttb a double fsn, a revolving brush and
proper receptacles for dust and dirt. Ths
fan and ths brush are driven by a power
ful, though small, general electric motor.
Tha brush loosens every particle of dust
ta ths floor coverings and tbs dirt Is drawn
Into the dust receptacle by a strong vol
ume of air. Sweeping the floors in this
way leaves no clouds of stifling dust to
settle later on the furniture and fixtures.
The machine will pick up matches and
pieces of paper or pins as K moves across
ths floor. Carpets and nigs can be cleaned
In a tenth of the time it takes to- sweep
them by hand. Ths furniture and curtains
can be thoroughly cleafised without re
moving them from thai original positions.
Hotels, churches and theaters having large
carpeted Interiors also find the electric
cleaner most valuable on account of the
speed with which large carpets and ex
tensive furniture can be cleaned.
The electrical connections are made at
ths lamp socket and the machine Is pushed
across ths floor like an ordinary carpet
sweeper. For cleaning under radiators,
furniture or In corners a hose attachment
ia used, which will reach the most inac
cessible places.
The device is equipped with several Im
portant attachments. One to lean floor
coverings, cushions, mattresses, lounges,
etc.; another for cleaning crevices, cor
ners and all difficult placss from floor to
ceiling. Still another Is used to clean walls,
pictures, curtains, mouldings, shelves, cor
nices, ornaments, or fixtures, etc. No
skill Is required to operate ths machine;
there Is no deafening noise and the work
can be done la a few minutes at a trifling
cost y
Not only does ths electrical houss cleaner
sweep the house thoroughly, but It ster
ilizes and renovates as well. There is an
attachment for driving a blast of air
through pillows, mattresses and cushions,
and still another to sterilise for the de
struction of disease germs.
When a room needs cleaning all that is
necessary is to bring in ths electric cleaner
and attach ths flexible cord to the lamp
socket. Ths motor is started and the
cleaner pushed back and forth across the
floor until the carpet is clean. Then with
ths hose connections the- furniture, cur
tains and other fixture are all cleaned.
When the work is .done the moter is
stopped and ths machine taken to tha next
room. There la no disagreeable dusting
to be dons.
The good wife will welcome the elm trie
house cleaner because it will lessen her
labors, and the man of ths house well, he
will thank his lucky stars for the tlmoly
inventlon, live several years longer and
the outlook for his future will be consider
ably better because of it. '
Derelosilnsl Water Fwr la Norway.
The progress of ths works at Nottwden,
now being carried out by ths Norwegian
Hydro-eieoUio company, for ths manufac
ture of artificial nitrates from the' atmos
phere, on ths Blrkeland and Eyds system,
Is described In a recent report of the'
Frankfurt Gazette. A generating station
to provide 47,000 horse-power Is being con
structed on ths Svaelglos. Ths natural fall
at ths point chosen, which amounts to U.8
feet, is being Increased by an embankment
so as to yield a fall of about 164 feet. A
conduit some 1.130 feet la length, which
Is mainly executed by tunnelling through
ths rock, conveys ths water to ths penstock
chamber. Ths available volume of water
amounts to 12,000 gallons per second. As
the turbine house has to be built In ths
very narrow rocky defile, clos against the
foot of a precipice which Is almost vertical,
the method of taking the water from the
head reservoir, instead of conveying it in
tha ordinary way through pipes, is by
means of four perpendicular galleries
driven through the solid, rock down to the
tunnel below, which serves for the outflow
from the turbines. These latter are four In
number, each unit being from 10,000 to
12,000 horse-power. The vertical Shafts of
the turbines are ' direct-coupled to the
axles of the dynamos. Ths machines, which
are among the largest and most powerful
of the kind in Europe, are constructed by
the firm of Voith of Heldenheim, and will
be ready So be started very shortly. Ths
construction of works (on a still mors ex
tensive scale and furnished' with Norwegian
waterpower) for the recovery of nitrogen
from the atmostphere, and Its conversion
Into artificial saltpetre in order to replace
the Ohile nitrates, has already been taken
hVhand.
Indian Weds White Woman
The marriage at Santa Fe, N. M., of
Cora Marls Arnold, a wealthy and highly
educated school teacher of Denver to Al
bino Chavarria. chief of the Santa Clara
tribe of the Peublo Indians, marks ths
climax to ons of the most remarkable love
matches of the west Ths bridegroom Is
not only a full-blooded Indian chief, but
he retains the manners and customs of his
people and dresses In ths bright, rich cos
tumes for wHIch they are famous. The
bride was a teacher in the public schools
of Denver, is a well educated woman, the
. daughter of a prominent citizen -and an
heiress. y
The romance Is one that runs the whole
gamut of unusual experiences and Is a
striking example 6f love thai never did
run smooth. Priests and clergymen, ons
after another declined to marry the couple,
sisters and fathers would not give their
consent, the tribe of Indians threatened
rebellion, the woman was disinherited and
the father committed suicide over what hs
felt was (the disgrace, yet not once was
there a waver In the determination of
both the woman and the chief to unite
their destinies by marriage. Fortune,
friends, ambitions and everything that
goes to make life pleasant was sacrificed
by the woman and her future life Is to be
spent in the Indian pueblo, where she will,
be surrounded only by ths customs of her
husband's people.
The romance dates back flva years when
ths Mountains and Plains festival was held
In Denver. Chavarria, chief of the Santa
Clara Indians, a tribe of the Pueblos, was
brought to Denver with a large number of
his tribesmen for one of the exhibits. They
were the center of attraction at the City
park, where the tepees were pitched and
where dally the. bucks and tha Indian
maidens would perform their war and re
ligious dances 'o the beat of the tom-tom
and the roll of the drum. Thousands of
persons , thronged the camp. They were
all on a holiday and not a shadow crossed
a face. It was to ons of these crowds that
an attmutlvs woman, of .middle age and
happy, met her fate. With her arm swing
ing In that of her companion and with a
smlls on her lips, Cora Arnold approached
ths Indian camp. Iaughing and Joking
with the merry, crowd, there was nothing
unusual until she saw ons. Indian, bigger.
stronger and handsomer than any of tbs
othera Then ths laugh stopped. There
were emotions in her heart that slie-never
knew before, and something seemed to
draw her toward the big, Indian chief.
She spoke to him in Spanish. Hs an
swered. They talked for a few minutes,
and the seed of the romance was sown.
The visit was followed by others, and
finally the Indian was invited to call. He
accepted. Tha family did. not object very
much. It was novel, and it never dawned
on any ons that anything serious might
happen. Then they parted, and tha Indian
chief went back to the puebls with the
tribe.
Ths visits attracted considerable atten
tion. Miss Arnold lived at ths Collonads
flats, a fashionable apartment house In
the fashionable Capitol Hill district, with
her stepfather and her two sisters. One
of these sisters was a teacher in the publio
schools and the other was ths wife of a
United States army officer. The talk,
however, soon died out after ths Indian re
turned' to his people uid the public had
begun to forget the incident. Not so with
the sweethearts. They began to corre
spond, and finally the chief asked permis
sion to corns to Denver to see her. That
caused the first break between her and her
family, for they objected. The reason was
ths Indian's color and his race, for his
personal character was abovs reproach.
He cams dressed in the gaudiest blankets
that the women of his tribe could weave,
and It became a publio sensation of ths
hour when the two appeared on the streets
together. During this visit they decided to
get married, and shs so announced to her
family.
That bro;ht revolt and the disruption
became complete. Pressure from every
source was brought to bear and finally the
wedding was postponed. Then came an
other visit further dissensions, more news
paper stories, and a bigger sensaUon than
ever. Her announcement of her determina
tion to marry the chief was followed by
her being disinherited. Again the wedding
was postponed, but she would not consent
o giving up the Indian forever. Then her
stepfather, George Wilder, left Denver for
New York, going by boat via Galveston.
When the ship was off the coast of
Florida a dark figure was seen to creep to
the side of the vessel one night and disap
pear overboard. It was Wilder, who went
to his death because of the disgrace -ho felt
had come to his family.
Ths Indian and the woman then made
numerous attempts in Denver, Santa Fe
and other places to get married, but no
preacher or priest could be found who was
willing to perform the cermony. After a
vain attempt to unite their destines, suc
cess came December 30, when a clergyman
was found who would perform the marrlatfe
ceremony. The Rev. Mr. Rendon, a Pres
byterian, officiated. Torn by the tragedies
of the peculiar laye, the sisters finally gave
their consent and were witnesses at the
wedding. The bride and bridegroom will
live at the Santa Clara pueblo. He ia
amply able to take care of her, as hs Is
wealthy In this world s goods. Denver let

Odd Corners in the Capitol
(Continued from Page One.)
the picture Is the first homestead In tha
Vnlted States.
The painting was sent in yeaxs sgo for
ths government to purchase. The govern
ment Was not bequiled by It and declined
te buy. Tha artist did not sand for It so
there, away down In ths subbasement tt
haitgs today. There are others unbsught
and unclaimed, stowed away tn varlsus
places, soma boxed, others banging 1a ob
scure comers.
While the superintendent's department
put, the castors In ths chairs when, as very
often happens, the congressmen break them,
off, and while he has to look, af tar ths
broken window 'panes or disfigured walls
or missing tiles or any ons of over 1.809
minor repairs by actual count In ene year
he also has charge of big things, such as
painting the dome, constructing new roofs
or laying new floors. It is only a tew years,
by the way, sines fireproof roefs took ths
place of ths eld ones en certain parts of
the building.
, But to return to. tha list; ths boiler and
engine rooms are a part of ths underworld
of the capitol. When ths power plant south,
of tha new house office building Is .com
pleted tha capltol will be heated and lighted
from outside. But it 1 Intended to retain
the present systam as an auxiliary.
The police station is tha guard room of
the capltol. There are about seventy-two
special policemen whs girard ths building
day and night In three eight hour shifts.
They are under captain and three lieu
tenants. The captain's room is near ths
rotunda on the basement floor.
The telephone, telegraph, messenger
service and stenographers ars to ba found
along ths main corridors.
As for the physicians, they are on hand
even though they ars not provided for
the purpose of practicing medicine. Bena
tor Galllnger of New Hampshire has on a
number of occasions come to the relief
of his fellow senators. He was a doctor
long before hs was a senator. v
On the house side thore are always sev
eral physicians who are ready to Vary the
routine of law making by prescribing In
an omerKency. As for preachers there
are two official chaplains not counting
ah occasional reverend member.
The bier mentioned In ths Hat Is ons of
the most interesting things in ths building.
It is kept in what Is known as Washing
ton's -Tomb, a very interesting spot on Its
own account. The so-called tomb ia two
floors below the rotundu. Almost every
body sees ths crypt, which Is ths first floor
below and which Is extremely Interesting
with its forty stout columns.
But there Is still a lower crypt to which
one is admitted only by some ons who has
both authority and a key. Here in place
of columns there are great arches of brick
work forming a circular place In the center
with a wide passage around it The central
space opens by arches Into ths surround
ing passage. Those arches ars closed
with Iron fences.
There Is no tomb, but thsrs Is a plain
black bier In the enclosurs. Whlls It was
never Intended for Washington ths bier
itself is not without interest, for upon It
have rested the coffins of Lincoln, Garfield,
MeKinley, Sumner, Logan and other famous
men. it was made for Lincoln's lying in
slate and has been merely recovered, owing
to the cloth having been destroyed when
there was an explosion of gas In ths crypt
a good many years Sgo.
The orlKlnal Intention actually was to
make this crypt the tomb of Washington.
Right after his death congress passed a
resolution to that effect.. Mrs. Washington
was asked to give her consent and did so.
' - 1. I
She wanted to ba placed by bar hosbaasT
side when she shauM die and ordered that
her body be put In a lead offta aa his had
been.
But congress seemed to bars axhaaatoq
its energy tn passing rsaoruttoaa. When
It came to having tha bod rsnwvsd to tha
capkol It tssk no active steps until alonsi
In 1832, by whlohthna Virginia had con
cluded that It wanted te kess) tn body
of Washington within Its own borders.
The matter was settled finally by John
A. Washington, than ttha owner af Mount
Vernon, who declined ts anow tha removal.
So ths anly tomb la ths capital has nerrer
had an socupanC
The Idea at that tiros was to place tha
remains of Washington In hs aubcrjrpt. a
monument to him In tha crypt directly
abovs and than to out an opening ts tha
floor of ths rotunda through whtoh on
could look on tha monument.
The famous Orsenoagh statu of Wash-,
Ington whloh faces tha capltol was de
signed by tha sculptor for this Indoors
position. Hs never meant to turn tho
father of his county out of doors half olad,
which makes ons fee mora kindly toward
Green ugh. Tha fact that tha monument
was not Intended to ba exposed as tt ts to
the action of rain and snow la tho reason
why It la generally boxed In whan wkater
cornea
Ths columned crypt, which did not re
ceive 'Its status, became Instead a vary)
jovial gathering spot for apple wouiau
who sold -fruit, nuts, cakes and liquor.
It was a favorite loafing plaos also for
coachmen, servants, negroes and othar
loungers. This became such a nulaanoa
that it was finally decided that tha appla
women and the rest must keep out.
The subcrypt bas only artificial Bght,
and except for ths tomb In tho oentor la
used as a sort of lumber room. Here ars
old pieces of furniture from oommlttea
rooms; some of them broken, but many of
them taken out in order that something
more modern or pleasing to the chairman
might be substituted. An annual aa)s ts
held, ,at which tha furniture which csutnot
hops to bs reinstated is sold.
A big Item at these sales la tha carpeting
from the houss and ths senate. Tho
chief clerk buys about 2,000 yards of car
peting for the houss of representative.
It takes about 1,400 yards to cover ths house
Itself, but there are various other places
where It Is needed, and about 100 yards ts
kept In resnrvs to replaos worn spots.
Hitherto svery congress started out wtfh
a new carpet. But this time ths clerk; has
paid mors for ths carpeting and hopes tt
la going to last more thsn ons congrsas.
Ths house Is a pretty expensive problem
when It comes to carpeting. It la a aeries
of semi-circular platforms shout four feet
In width. Try to flgurs out aa easy, ln
expenslvs way of carpeting those terraces.
If you succeed you will be welcomed wfth
enthusiasm by ths chief clerk.
It Is ths chief clerk, by tho way, who
provides the soap, towels, brooms, rugs,
In "Tact all the new things which tho fore
man has to keep In repair. When ths chair
man of a committee falls off his chair, aa
one did the other day, breaks ths casting,
smashes the frame and shivers a plats
glass fire screen. It Is probable that tha
clerk and the foreman have to patch tt up
between them.
Finally, a single Item gives soma Idea of
what It means to housekeep at the capltol.
The reporter noticed twenty-five bolts of
cheesecloth In one of the store rooms. They
were Uncls Barn's dust cloths.
