THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 12. 1893-SIXTEEN PAGES. — —— BUILDING A LIGHT HOUSE. WIRES UNDER WAVES. Uncle Sam Has a New Plan for Cabling to Ships. COMMUNICATING WITH THE LAND. How It is Proposed to Locate Cable Stations at Sea. A MARINE TELEPHONE. NEW DEVICE FOR enabling vessels to| communicate with} land from a sistance of many miles has) been offered to the United States govern-| ment by an English | electrician, Willough- | by 8. Smith. By its ald a ship far out at sea may drop 2 wire overboard, with a weight on the end of it, and exchange mes-/ . sages either by tele- Sraph or by telephone with the shore. While useful in time of peace, in war such a sys- tem would be most valuable, enabling armed cruisers to get orders and send inv formation without approaching within sight of terra firma. The inventor, who nas Just left Washington, asks no pay for his idea, which is given purely in the interest of science. The plan—already under consiieration ty the tht house board, for communicating with Mgnt ships—involves the laying of an ordinary telegrap! cable out from ore into the ocean for any desired number of miles. To mark the seaward enl o! it a gonspicuous buoy is anchored. The precise | location of this buoy is marked oa th2 nan- tical charts. A vessel desiring to sena a| message to the land anchors close by the buoy and drops a wire to the bottom. It is| Rot expected to come in contact with the | cable, but salt water being a first-rate con-| ductor, the electric current from » battery | on board the ship jumps from the wire to the cable and is transmitted to the chore station. To afford the requisite current there must be a circuit. A tele; h line between Washington and Philadelphia needs but a single wire, because the two ends are at- tached to metal plates which are buried in the earth. So excellent a conductor is the earth that the current transmitted from Philadelphia to Washington passes hack through the earth without the aid of « wire, and so the circuit is completed. Now, in like manner, the line by which the municates with the land must be ed” at both ends. This is ace the method shown in the diag: a ‘A—B Is the shore-line. C ts the land. tion. D is the “ground-plate” at the shore end. It is in the water because the ground- plate at the other end must be put in the water, and the current is to be sent through | that medium. D—C—F is the cable. Its seaward extremity, at F, is marked by a buoy, which enables the vessel to find it imately. She lowers overboard on the port side @ ground-plate attached to a wire. From the starboard side she drops the other end of the same wire, which finds the bottom at G. If G and 'F were ed. the circuit would be complete. As it is, there is a gap; but the current can ump It, if it be not too great a distance, and thus messages can be carried between the ship and the land. If time of war, floats marking the ends of such cables would be likely to be de- stroyed by hostile ships. Or the latter might utilize the wires for sending mis- leading messages, unless perhaps a cipher code were employed. But Mr. Smith says that the buoys could be wholly dispensed ‘with, the locations of the cable-ends being accurately Indicated by memoranda of lat- and longitude noted on secret charts In the sion of naval commanders. ‘The chief difficulty in the way of utilizing | this plan for establishing communication with light-ships seems to be found in the swinging of the vessel at anchor, which ‘would be apt to carry her out of reach of the cable. Communicating With Light Ships. ‘The lighthouse board has been trying for many years to find a way for connecting lightships and off-shore lighthouses with the land by some means of communication. For instance, take the case of the New South Shoal lightship, twenty-six miles from the nearest land, guarding the dread- ed “banks” south of Nantucket, which have @ record of 3 known wrecks. She lies fight im the track of trans-Atlantic com- ferce. If, through her, vessels bound for New York could be reported in advance to owners and consignees, the advantage | would be great. Sailing craft with perish- could ‘telegraph for fos. | ry now and then this lightship is blown away by a storm, and is off her station for | weeks. If prompt notice of such an acci-| ent could be had, by her failure to report, one of the supplementary lightships could be sent at once to take her place and warn hips off the shoals. There are fifty light- Ships in United States’ waters. They are laced where lighthouses are not practica- le. ‘There are certain off-shore lMghthouses which It would be most desirable to con- fect with the land by some means of com- munication. The Tillamook Rock Is an example. It is an islet one acre in extent, ome mile from shore, and twenty miles south of the entrance of the Columbia riv- er, Ore. Congress gave $6,000 in 1889 for the Pp of laying a cable from the rock to Port Stevens. The sum is still avail- able, but has not been used because it is absurdly insufficient. Telegraphic cable costs 5) cents a foot, or $2,000 a mile, ‘Without counting the expense of laying, &c. Furthermore, the strongest cable would quickly be torn shore of Tillamook, and every storm would ut it off. ‘A means of communication between Till- gmook and Port Stevens, or with Port Adams, or with Cape Disappointment would of inestimable value to ship owriers. It would give them early notice of the ap- roach of expected vessels, and would in- Form the skippers of vessels as to the con- ition of the bar_at the entrance to the Columbia river. The rock cannot be ap- roached save at certain times in the year. Fethere ‘were an accident at the light house it might be most important to have notice of it on the mainland. Suppose that the keeper should die or that the lantern should be smashed. ‘The Tillamook rock rises 1% feet above the sea level, wit deep water all around. ‘avorite resort for thousands of sea lions, with which huge beasts—valu- able only for of—its su letely covered. “Ihey were disposed to de- fend the premises at first, but eventually Fetired to other rocks to the southward. How « Light House was Built. The beginning of the light house w: made with almost incredible difficulty. In trying to land one man was drowned and several other lives were endangered on dif- ferent occasions. Eight quarrymen were fin the Islet by the breeches bu started to cut away the rocks 30 48 to make a place for a shelter. ‘This they accomplished with drills and dy- | pamite after being nearly swept away by a hurricane, which threw waves cleat over the summit. After leveling the top of the Tock a tower was put up, with a first-class light. 136 feet above the sea ‘Sthe light house is now provided with a wteain siren of the first class.

No other contrivance of human manufacture is capable of emitting so loud and far-reaching a noise. Freaks of Sound. The Tillamook stren has two trumpets and two steel boilers as big as those of locomotive. They utter blasts of five sec- onds’ duration, at intervals of one and a half minutes, when there is fog, and they consume 13 gallons of water per hour. Their agonizing cries can be heard at a distance of ry miles under favorable circumstances. Nevertheless it sometimes happens that while in full operation they cannot be heard at all at a distance of two miles. At the same time they will be ai fble at seven miles, wholly taudible twelve miles and audible distance. from the rock. This e- nomenon 1s due to the refraction of sound found that ch a when not heard at all on the, deck of @ vessel, will sometimes be loud and clear to the ear of a person ascending to the mast-head. Sometimes it is audible with great volume in one spot and com- pletely inaudible 200 yards away. ty one sirens and other steam signals have been established by the government at @ cost of $500 000, and are maintained at a yearly expense of $100,000. ‘A light house which it would be most de- sirable to connect by telegraph with the main land is situated on one of the Faral- lone islands, twenty-two miles out in the ie the most 6 tate imaginable” A power e most desolate im: le. er- ful light. 360 feet above the sea, is Ropple- mented by a fog whistle, blown by the rush of air through a cave which forms a age opening into the ocean. One of the many caves worn by the surf on the shore chanced to have a hole in its top, through which the incoming breakers violently ex- pelled the air carried before them. The mouth-piece of @ great trumpet was fixed to the aperture, and now the waves blow mighty blasts ‘through the _ instrumen’ hich is only silent for an hour and a hal each day. In various other parts of the world are signals made by utilizing such natural orifices in wave-beaten cliffs. How advantageous it would be if some means of communication could be estab- lished between the main land and the Mi- not’s Ledge light house, near Boston, which stands on a rock that is under water at low tide. In winter its ke are shut off for months together from all the rest of the world. Several of them have gone insane from ‘sheer loneliness. An occasional mi Sage from the shore would relieve the sense of hopeless isolation which weighs them down. It is said that persons who are natural most cheerful become, under such conditions, morbid and morose. Several light houses on the Florida reefs are equally ‘0! ry. at it devices for communicating ideas by sound across wide spaces of water have recently been experimented with. One of them is an invention of an electrician named Cox. It is a trumpet for telephoning at sea. Echoed sounds “carry” great dis- tances, and speaking trumpets, if made to give the same note, will produce the phe- nomenon known in acoustics as “sym- pathy.” From these two discoveries the theory of this instrument springs. With its aid conversation can be carried on in an ordinary tone of vdice between speakers five miles apart. The other invention, by Thos. A, Edison, is a system by which ships are to be enabled to exchange intelligence by electricity through water, without wires. It has not progressed beyond the experi- mental stage thus far. Ships constantly find trouble in deciding on the direction from which a fog sii comes, and many a wreck has occurred on that account. It is usually hard to locate the source of a sound. The child returning from school, on entering the house, calls, “Mamma!” The mother replies, “Yes! The next question is, “Where are you?’ ‘The child cannot tell’ from what room or floor the answer has come, but has to be informed. Other animals cannot determine the source of sound any better than man. But !t 1s expected that before long mechani- cal contrivances will be de for over- coming this difficulty om the water, go a8 revent col tween = bees RENE BACHE. In favor of SI: From the Hartford (Conn.) Courant. There are, perhaps, some formal, cut-and- dried people who still nourish the notion that slang is vulgar, and the use thereof a horrid thing. If so, let them read Brander Matthews’ bright and entirely sensible pa- per in the July “Harpers” on “The Func- tion of Slang.” They will, 1t is to be hoped, see the error of their ways, and liven up their speech hereaf“er with more uff-hand and idiomatic Janguage. Not that Prof. Matthews defends slang in toto; no, he readily admits that some of it is base-born, intrinsicany low and neces- sarily ephemeral in its tease of ilfe. But certain varieties of slang are not only in- nocent but highly destrable. One such is the word or phrase once in use. but fasden into desuetude until resurrected for a mod. ern emergency. Plenty of what passes for modern-born ‘slang is 07 this oi ‘Fact. Matthews gives as in example the idiom fire out a the i “I'll fire you out," which, as literary studeats are aware, oc- curs in one of Shakespeare's sonnets. ‘The use of the word deck in ‘a deck ef cards,” which certainly smacks of the present, is also Shakesperean. The investigator will be astonished to find how much that seems new will resolve itself into the old in this matter of idiom. 7 ‘Again, a great deal of slang that ix being made every year and every. day all about Is legitimate and weicome. The test is, wheth- er it survives or not, and nobody can say that the street slang of today will not be the accepted idiom of tomorrow, We can see this going on all the while. ‘Ten years ago the word dude was outside of polite so- ciety; now it is in the International Web- ster and the Century dictionary, and has a distinct literary value. Cases illustrating this point could be multiplied indefiniteiy. Slang that is spontaneously born, that forcible and picturesque, and that fills a real want, is not an enemy to language, but rather its very life, its chief means of re- cruiting the outworn words and iMioms, which through long use have been rubbed down from thelr original bright and pic- ture-making quality into unini con- ventional coins of expression. —_—or-_—__—_.

GOSSIP OF GREAT MEN Justice Blatchford’s Death and the Health of the Supreme Court. FAMOUS LAWYER STATESMEN. Well-Known Names That Always Command Big Fees. PRACTICE IN WASHINGTON. HE DEATH OF JUS- tice Blatchford will make another change in the Supreme Court, and deaths have been more rapid here during the past few years than in any other branch of our government. Chief Justice Waite died when he seemed to be in his prime. Justice Miller, though he had served on the bench twenty- ight yoars, seemed hale and hearty just before he passed away, and no one here seemed to think but that Justice Bradley would last for- ever. His wiry frame seemed to bo made of eel, and he was regularly in his seat year in and year out. He was ie of the hardest workers on the bench, and he put = ‘ out nae hours s aa Grery twenty-four. It was Miller. "T don't ‘think Justice Lamee ones worked himself. He got the grip, and this, added to his careless habits of eating and ¢ cise, helped to carry him off. He had no rules of work, and he sometimes put in twenty hours atastretch. Justice Blatchford was more reg- ular in his habits. He looked more like an statesman than an American jurist, and he was the personification of the eminently Tespectable gentleman. The other justices are extremely healthy, and the court a8 it is now constituted would _ make = good hotel advertisemnt. Justice Harlan must weigh over two hundred pounds, His eyes are bright and his cheeks are rosy. Jus- tice Gray is fat and rotund and his skin is as clean and fair as that of a bab: Both Brewer and Brown are the personification of physical vigor, and the Chiei Justice, though his hair is white and his mustache is silvery, has eyes full of life and he trots about as though he were walking on rubber. None of them look as though they had much to worry them, and they have forgotten their first struggles at the bar, when, asin the case of Chief Justice Fuller, they were glad to get fees of $5, and had not ret begun to hope for positions worth $10,000 a year. Secretary Smith’s Firat Fee. During my chat with Secretary Smith the other day I spoke to him of his law prac- tice and asked him if he remembered the first fee he received for legal services. He is, you know, one of the most famous lawyers of the south. He made Inst year,I am told, just $37.00 out of his practice. and his earnings right along range from $30,000 to $50,000 per year. He laughed as I put the above question and replied “Yes, Iremember it very well. It was for the settling of an injunction. The case was de- cided in Atlanta at 11 o'clock Monday ani the situation was such that the injunction would have to be served at 11 o'clock Tuesday. The party interested lived away off in the interior and it was a question whether we could reach him in time. I took the train that afternoon for Gainesville and the next morning at 4 o'clock Iwas ina buggy riding off into the mountains with my injunction, I reached the iving my horse as fast as he and succeeded in serving the injunction in time. The fee I got for was $25, and it seemed to me very good pay. “How about your first law case, Mr. tary? What was it?” “It was the defending of a negro who had been arrested for arson,” was the reply. “T! nd I took up the man cleared him. This gave me such a reputation among the negroes that they all came to me to defend them when they got into trouble. I took their cases for practice, some- times getting small fees and sometimes none at Tsoon got a better class of business, bo! ever. Before long I bad one of the best prac- tices in the south. I don't think there is any more pleasant work than that of the law. I like it, and Ishall go back to itassoon asI leave Washington.” Some Famous First Fees. This $25 which Secretary Smith received as his first legal fee was a big amount in comparison with those of our other great lawyers. Henry Clay's first fee amounted to just fifteen shi Tings, and the late Justice Lamar got two ju of hand-made whisky for his first legal serv- ices. John Sherman hid to borrow #30 to go to Columbus to be admitted for practice before the supreme court of Ohio. And Jobn H. Mitchell of Oregon, whonow makes $20,000 and upward a year at the law, was refused credit by a carpenter whom he asked to make an office table for him at the time he began his law ractice in Portland. = Senator Ingalls’ first law fee was from a carpenter and he took his pay out m trade. The carpenter made him « table anda desk for trying the suit, and Ingalls’ son uses this desk as a part of his office furniture today. The late Benjamin But- ler made his first reaj start at the law in attach- ing a mill wheel for one of his clients in Lowe and Leland Stanford once told me that he mad Jast $1,200 the first year that he practiced law in main. A fire burnt down his law office and library, and this it was that sent him west to make his fortune. How Presidents Have Made Money. understand that the prospects are that ex- President Harrison's law practice will be more than doubled by the reputation he has made as President, and Grover Cleveland is said to have made a fortune during the four years he was out of office. Nearly all the Presidents ha deen lawyers, but none of those of the past have made the vast sums that our lawyers make today. Thomas Jefferson early jumped to the front of the bar of Virginia, and he was making $5,000 » year when he was = married. Madison and Monroe were good lawyers before they meddled with politics, and Hayes had a fair practice. Andrew Johnson liked nothing bet- ter than to make « speech at the bar. He studied law while he was at the tailor's bench, and graduated from it to the bar, Martin Van Buren is said to have been a good lawyer. James Buchanan was making $11,000 a year when he left the law for politics, and Harrison's Practice was a valuable one. Some Coxtly Lawyern. It costs something to get one of these great statesmen to trys suit for you. Evarts re- ceives about €10 apiece for each and every word in the 400-word sentences which he uses in his arguments before the Supreme Court, and Senator Edmunds was published not long ago as having an income of $100,000 from his law pra tice. “One of the most famous lawyers of t country was prominently connected with the routhernconfederacy. Ireferto the late Ju- dab P, Benjamin, who served at different times in the cabinet of Jefferson Davis as Attorney General, Secretary of State and Secretary of War. He left this country with only $10 in his pocket at the close of the war and fled to England. He opened a law office in London and during the eighteen years which he practiced there his fees amounted to $696,- 000. He began his work in London by writing editorials while he was waiting for clients, and his first year's income was only €2,000. The next year it doubled and during the ‘last seven years of his practice he made from $50,000 to $80.000 a year. This was especially wonderful in that Benjamin's law practice had been be- fore this entirely in the United States. He had practiced before the Supreme Court while he was member of the United States Senate, and at this time he got big fees, some of which were in the neighborhood of $50,000. Law Practice at Washington. Some of the best paying practice is that be- fore the government departments at Washing- ton, The fees are often contingent and where the amounts are large the lawyers got a largo percentage in case they win. A number of fa- mous lawyers will not undertake a case without a retainer. Roscoe Conkling is said to have received a fee of $50,000 from the Apollinaris Water Company for arguing in its favor before the Treasury Department. Ex-Secretary Ste- phen B. Elkins told me last winter that he once made $10,000 in an hour by presenting a land case before the Interior Department, and he said that he made as much as $50,000 a year for some time after he left Congress in practicing law here. Speaking of retainers, it often surprises a client to be asked to pay down money before ras told here the other day by one of onr lead- amount in the suit was about $80,000 and Webster was asked what the retaining fee would be. The reply was $1,000, “One thousand dollars!” exclaimed the client. “Yes,” replied Webster, “but you will not have to take it, and you need not if you do not wish it, Loan’t engage to try the suit without a re- tasner, It Tom jot ‘retained T may be ap- proached by the other party and may gets much larger fee from them than from you. If Iam retained I will, of course, have to try the suit for you.” This frightened the client and he wrote outs check for $1,000 and gave it to Mr. Webster, who put it into his and then said: “I will now give you my advice on the case. It is that if you can compromise the suit on fairly good terms you had better doit I will not el you anything for that advice.” ‘The client expressed his thanks and left. He did compromise the suit and then came back to Webster. Mr. Webster congratulated himself on his success and was turning to other business, when the visitor said: “Of course I shall not now need your services, ‘Mr. Webster.” “Certainly not, sir.” "Srepenpe toa that $1,000 I paid you,” - went on, evidently ex; to have it Banded back to him, "Pets “Oh,” replied Mr. Webster, while a broad, substantial smile flitted across his dark face, “you don’t seem to understand. That was retaining fee, called in law a retainer. By vir- tue of the contract I leo became s retainer. What am I to retain, if not my fee?” Our First Sultan. The Sultan of Johore will give our people © different idea of the rulers of the far east. We imagine them a set of heathen igno- ramuses, They are, in fact, generally well educated and are as smart as we are. I visited this sultan during my tour around the world | WASE and spent two hours with him in his palace near the Straits of Malacca. He English fluently and he has spent a part of his life in London. He knows most of the London nobility, and has been entertained by the queen, "He hss number of pictures of the royal family of England in his ee, and I found that he knew all about America. When he received me he bad a lavender silk skirt wound around his waist over his trousers and above this he had on a sack coat of white duck. A turban of brown plush decorated witha great diamond medallion covered his head, and he had a diamond pendant on his breast and diamond rings on all his fingers. He has about ten million dollars’ worth of diamonds, and he often wears rings of dia- monds and emeralds and diamonds ru- bies. He had bracelets of solid gold rope on each of his wrists and his palace was by soldiers in gorgeous uniform. I talked to him somewhat cf his travels and he told me that he needed only to go to America to com- piste his tour of the globe, and the probability that he will come to New York and go home by San Francisco. He lives just half way around the world from us, and an auger hole might be bored through the earth at certain angle from the Capitol here at Washington and strike his capitol in Johore. The sultan is a Mohammedan and his kingdom is a little bigger than Massachusetts, It contains considerable good mineral lands, but its chief products are coffee and gambier, & plant which is used for tanning. The most of the labor is done by the Chinese, and the sultan encourages Chinese immigration in every way. His people are Malays, who will not work. ‘The sultan sold me his only hope for the dev ment of his country came from the Chinese. A New Story of Columbus. Speaking of the world’s fair, I heard a new story of Columbus last night. It was one which ex-Senator William M. Evarte told some time ago at adinner given in Washington by John B. Alley of Massachusetts. Alley was, you know, mixed upin the Credit Mobilier, and be has in different speculations made a great fortune. He has been living in Washing- ton during the winters for some vears, and dinners are famous. Mr. Alley had a very large acquaintance with great men, and he likes to talk about his ex- periences with them. As the y Koes, ne frequently indulges in reminiscences at his dinners, During the one at which this incident occurred be had monopolized the conversation. He had told his* guests what President Buchanan had asked Mr. Alley and how Mr. Alley bad replied to Mr. Buchanan. Of how Abraham Lincoln had greeted Alley on ® certain occasion and bow Salmon B, Chase had advised with him on another. Aw Alley told his last story, his eye caught a queer smile laying around ‘the wrinkled lips of Sena- Evarts, and he asked him if he had not something to say. Senator Evarts replied: “Ihave been thinking while you have been speaking, Mr. Alley, ot one of the most stir- log incidents in our history. It was when Columbus was on his way to the discovery of America. You remember the anxiety of the great discoverer as the time arrived when he had calculated he should arrive on the shores of the new country. Morning after morn- ing he appeared early on the deck, strain- ing his eyes in looking toward the west. At last one day as he gazed through his glass his face was seen to shine with surprive. He looked long and earnestly and finally handed the glass to his most intimate friend at his wide, exclaiming: “There, Alley. thank God, there is land at last! Embrace me, Alley; our fortunes are made!” The teller of this story does not give the response of Mr. Alley. Frank G. Canpexten. ———+e Why John Didn't Understand. From the Kansas City Times. A Chinaman sat yesterday in close prox- imity to a group of attractive young wo- men in the ladles’ waiting room of the Union depot. Some one objected to his presence and requested a passenger con- ductor to escort him to another waiting room. ‘You will have to sit in another room.” The Chinaman looked at him with a most woful absence of expression. “No sabe,” he replied. “I say you will have to go in there,” the passenger conductor ordered again, ‘point- ing significantly to another waiting room. But John seemed utterly innocent of the meaning of the words or the point. “No sabe,” he again returned with a shake of his head. ‘The passenger director once more tried to explain that he was out of place, and that objection to his presence nad been raised; and then, after a long study of the continued blank’ look on the face of the celestial, concluded to let him alone. Clearly he could not be made understand, and the director, of course, did not wish to remove him by force. And when ‘the official had gone the ex- pression of the smart Chinaman's face sud. lenly veered around to intelligence, and there was a knowing twinkle in his’ little almond eyes and a broad smile on his yel- low face as he turned to a man near by and remarked: “P'lece—fiools.
