LONDON, Oct. 19.—(New York World Ca- blogram — Special Telegram.) — Sclentific loodon stunds astounded, but deeply grati- ficd, at the results of experiments with the new system of wireless telegraphy, as It may be called, although it is really much wore than a mere transmission of tele- graphic signal Sounde, as they are conveyed over the telephone circuits, are sent by this won- derful system and, of great further im- portance, electrical power of high strength speeds to distant polnts and does its work Just as well as It it were carried by the ordinary metallic circuits. Indeed, the new system, known as the Armorll system, b many points of su- periority over that of Marconi, whom all honor the ploneer—the Columbus of wireless communication. The invention is the joint work of Ariel Or! Swede, and J. T. Armstrong, sn Englishman, who have been working without the bl of pub- llcity's trumpet until they have finally per- fected their remarkable {deas, making ac- tual facte of the theorles. The new Invention does not use the air for transmission as does that of Marcont. The electrical waves are seat through the ground, and one charm is the simplicity and cheapness of the electrical {nstalla- tion. There are no tall masts, as are used at present to holst the sending and re- ceiving points far into the air out of reach of Interference. There can be o lnter- ference by the Armorll system. Interference Practically Impess| Mr. Armstrong has discovered that he can vary the pitch or tome in which the radia- tions are sent, much after the fashion of the quadruplex and duplex systeme in tel- graphy, by which the electric currents are divided and pass each other one wire without interterence. There are 40,000 dit- ferent tones, no one of which will confilet with another, a0 the chance of two tones of the same nature meeting and destroyiag ©ne or both is reduced to one in 40,000. Experiments were made yesterday at the home of Mr. Armstrong ia Buckingham- shire. The conditions were of the worst, since a heavy rain had fallen for twenty. four bours and a thick fog enveloped every- thing. Nevertheless the ments w absolutely satistactory 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 fleld and a spike attached to each was stuck into the ground. The spikes were 1,600 feet apart. The 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. Marvelods Re: The experiments conslsted in telephoning, in trapsmitting the ordinary Mor dots and dashes, In maneuveris pedo in & small lake, by the development of which feature it may be seen that the nhewest and strongest of fortifications can be rendered useless, the lighting of a lamp in a house two miles and a balf away by ing & button, the extinguishing of the light by again pressing the button, and the exchanging of signals betweem ships, & for this experiment and for that with the torpedo.

LONDON, Oct. 10.—(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegr m.)—King Ed- ward's life prospect Is a burning topic In soclety as well as In insurance circles. The Dewspapers here are actually referring in- directly to the subject by mentioning that Lioyds have advanced the rate of premium on the king's lite, which persons speculate Ing In expenditure for the coronation are anxious to Insure, from 10 to 12% and now 16 per cent. These dealings through Lioyds indicate that ordinary Insurance companies are shutting down on policles on the king's lite, of which over $2,600,000 have been taken out the past month. The king's friends Insist that he is suf- fering only from an agsravated form of smoker's throat, complicated with gout. There are two points about his case which Intensity the fears concerning the ultimate form ot bis allment. One is his family his- tory, for mot only did the Empress Fred- erick, his sister, and the duke of Coburg, his brother, die of cancer, but also his grandmother, the duchess of Kent. The sccond Is the king's own acute fear of this particular disease. His physicians hold it to be proved In many cases that dread of cancer is the first step toward its growth. Especlally in view of the king's {liness 1 soclety g itly interested in the report that & comparatively unknown scientific man has discovered, almost by accldent, a cure for cancer. The alleged discoverer has seen the king, but all details of the cure are kept secret. The only fact about it that 1s known Is that it je worked by electriclty. Beveral further experiments are to be mado beforo the secret Is disclosed and great of- forts are directed toward preventing premu- ture revelation.

PARIS, Oct. 10.—(New York World ( blegram—Special Telegram.)—To the Ed- itor: I am glad to be able to inform vou that I have today won the Deutsch prize, having succeeded in traveling from the Aero club grounds, near St. Cloud, to the Eiffel tower and back in twenty-nine min- utes, instead of the thirty minutes allowed me under the rules of the competition. According to the timekeepers for the ccmmittee, here are the exact timings of the voyage The second start was made at D. m. but my guide rope caught In a fence, and I therefore returned and requested the priv- flege of making another start. This was granted. The second start was made at 2:40 p. m The wind was blowing with me at the rate of about eight meters (twenty-six teet throe inches) a second When the airship reached a point just above the river it suddenly caught in a cir- cular current of wind and lurched violently to leeward. By quickly maneuvering the rudder and increasing the speed of the motor 1 was able to rectify the course al- most immediately. | tor | round | Thenceforward the airship went through, @3 an arrow toward the huge goal, arriving abreast of the Eiffel tower in eight minutes and forty-five seconds from the starting time, I skirted the Eiffel tower at a radius of about forty feet off, which is an extremely short distance. When the turn was completed I found that I was facing a wind which I estimated to be blowing at the rate of about twelve meters (thirty-eight feet four inches) a sec- ond, but which was afterward reported from the Eiffel tower recording instrument as of only eight meters and a half (about twenty-seven feet). sk Run Against Current. The balloon clipped along easily and briskly inst the current until 1 reached & point over the Bois de Boulogne, when the motor stopped abruptly. Before I could fnduce the motor to go agaln 1 had lost ten seconds. Later the motor stopped twice, but finally it was not as stubborn us on those occasions. I must admit that the ugly actlons of the motor made me un- easy about the outcome and I was furious against the whole machine. The rest of the trip was remarkably in- toxicating. The four cylinders worked charmingly. Everything was shipshape and I felt like putting my hands in my pockets and letting the thing travel on, At this juncture there was a short, brisk deviation, which made work with the rud- der necessary. This time, In crossing the Seine, I saw the banks, the people, black and heard wild cheers, blended I said to myself that be a good sign, indicating that time, but I had no watch and ly could not tell anything about ft. When the park came in sight I shifted my sliding welght forward, causing a slanting plunge downward, as I did not want to arrive at a point too high. The airship obeyed the rudder so well that I was able to pass exactly in the middle of the grounds of the Aero club. 1 went onward, because I expressly wished to show the committee my independence of its whimsical and arbitrary decree of a few weeks ago, when it was decided that 1 must not only pass over the starting point, but must land. Puarposely Overshoots Mark. T could have landed then, for I have done it fifty times, but I desired to maintain my contention that this competition applied to speed and steering and not to landing maneuvers, So today I overshot the mark as a.race- horse overshoots the line at the track. Then 1 brought the airship smartly around in order to effect a landing. The return trip, against the wind, occu- pled twenty minutes and fifteen seconds, the total time for the trip belng twenty- nine minutes. 1 won the prize, although Count de Dion, a member of the committee, announced his notfon that the time of the finish was taken upon landing and that I was forty over the allowance of thirty minutes. But whether they pay me is the least of 1 had promised that I would do ve done it, and now I am for crossing both the narrow and wide seas. Your correspondent once referred to me as the Yankee from Brazil and I have been proud of that appellation ever since. I shall try my best to deserve it more and more. SANTOS-DUMONT. PARIS, Oct. 19.—The Santos-Dumont ajr- ship ascended at St. Cloud at 2:38 o'clock this afternoon and five minutes afterward began to round the KEiffel tower. Santos-Dumont completed his trip sue- cessfully, but a question has arisen as to whether |t done within the time Iimit, thirty minutes. M. Deutsch says the aero- naut won the prize. The committee, how- ever, declares that M. Santos-Dumont took thirty minutes forty and four- onds to make the Santos-Dumont started for the first time at 2:29 p. m, but on leaving the park hi guiderope caught in a tre obliged to 2:42 p. m., rose 250 yards and then pointed the Eiffel tower, the balloon golng in a stralght line.

Before the alarm was turned In the flames had evidently been feeding for some little time and u mistake in turning in the alarm still further de layed the arrival of the fire department By the time the first company was on the scene the fire had spread to the fifth floor of the May bullding and was rapldly work- ing through both the W. L. May wholesale grocery and the Great Western type fours dry. These concerns occupled the five- story brick bullding and were only divided by a wooden partition. Thanks to the good work of the fire department, although all five floors of the bullding were flooded witn water, the fire did not get below the thira floor and the total damage will hardly reacn 460,000, when it might eusily have been ten times as much. Other Property Saved. For a time it looked as though the Mer cer Chemlical company's buildng, which ad Joins the type foundry on the cast, and the bullding of the Carpenter Paper company, which 1s immediately west of the May com pany's atore, were In imminent danger. By skiliful work the flames were gotten under control and the adjoining bulldings and stocks saved from damage other than that caused by smoke and water. Large crowds of spectators were at- tracted from the busy streets by the om- inous glow that lit up the sky, but the spectacle was extremely short-lived. Mayor Moores, who was personally on hwnd, ex preased special gratification at the wanus: fa which Chief Salter and his csssciates bandled the fire. When I. R. Carpenter one of the proprietors of the Carpenter Paper company, whose establishment was kept unharmed, complimented Chiet Salter, the mayor replied: “I am glad to have you appreciate the fact that we have a fire chief who puts out fires. Salter has been putting out fires for many years, but never got the credit for it until he was made chiet.” Sample of Brave Work. An act of conspicuous bravery was that performed by Captain John Coyle of en- gine No. 2, who stood exposed to the fury of the flames at the top of the rear fire escape until his men could bring up & line of hose. The coat was burned from his back and it was only with the greatest difficulty that he was able to keep his place. The mayor witnessed the incident and com- mended the captain for his bravery. The only accident which occurred hap- pened to Fireman Billy Croft of the same company. He was off on furlough, but when the general alarm was sounded he rushed to the scene. While assisting in carrying a line of hose falllng glass from one of the upper stories cut a deep gash on the back of his hand. He was removed in the patrol wagon to the police station, where City Physiclan Ralph dressed the wound, which {s not serious. The Great Western type foundry carried $26,000 insurance and members of the firm estimate the value of the stock at $37,- 000. The damage to the stock is supposed to be covered by the insurance. The elec- trotyping and stereotyping foundry were on the floors which were gutted and were badly damaged. The policies of the com- pany were not accessible und It was im- possible to ascertaln what companies have the Insurance, Covered hy Iusurance. W. L. May & Co. had $15,000 insurance and the value of their stock was variously estimated at from $25,000 to $30,000. W. L. Muy said after the fire that he believed that the company's loss is completely cov- ered by {osurance. Willow and wooden- ware and other highly inflammable ma- terial were stored on the top floors of the grocery compuny'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 the owner of the damaged bullding. Insurance amounting to $17,000 is carried on the bullding and ix divided among the following companies: Hartford, New York Undorwriters, Palatine, Phoenix, Orlent and Maryland Casualty. The roof of the bullding was more than half de- stroyed, The two upper stories were com- pletely gutted and conslderable damage to the bullding was done by water. The base- ments of the burned bulldings and the basements of adjolping bulldings were badly flooded. or 18 In Doubt, The origin of the fire is not known. W. L. May says that there bad been no fire In his place and he thought it started from the foundry type metal furnace on the fourth floor. The first alarm of the fire wi nt from Twelfth and Farnam streets. This causea a delay, as the members of the depart- ment lost several minutes in locating the blaze after they bad made the run down the Farnam street hill. As soon as Chief Salter located the fire he ordered a genera! alarm and soon bad all the companies in the city on the scene. Four engines anda the wator tower and aerlal truck wers called Into play. The board partitions and the highly inflammable nature of the goods stored in the upper stories of the building gave the flames great headway. The fire started toward the back end of the bullding and broke out at the windows In the rear before the department arrived. It found so much fuel that the flames mounted high and threatened to reach into djoining bulldings. The fire fighters were first concentrated in the rear of the buildings and carried
