IRON CHANCELLOR CALLED GLADSTONE POOR STATESMAN Bismarck Thought English man Had Too Great Facil ity in Speech Man of Deep Emotions.

Richmond reports In tho North American Review for September convcr gntlons lie lind with I'rlnce Bismarck at Frledrlchsruh, 18S7-1890. Speaking of Mr. . Gladstone, Bismarck said: "Your Prime Minister Is poisoned by tho venom of his oratory; If his facility of diction and his command of words were more restrained" he would not be bo great an orator, but a more rellablo statesman. If 3od spares him, Mr. Gladstono will ruin England." This was said In conjunction with some Mmarks upon Homo Rulo for Ireland. "No government could afford to grant It now, It Is too late. It would wreck a Tory or Radical ministry to do bo, es pecially now when Imperialism has been co deftly established In tho public minds of Englishmen by Disraeli," speaking of ' whom UlsmarcK snici: "I liko him: ho I, a great statesman and ho takes his part like a man. Your politicians do not drink enough. Think of Pitt and Fox whom have you now to compare with those 'two-bottle men,' whoso decisions were prompt, decisive and vlrllo? Now you have given your drink to tho lower classes, who arc becoming your masters, and dangerous ones, too, by and by, when tho franchise Is extended practically to universal suffrage." Bismarck Is described as having a sensitive, emotional temperament. "But I have," ho said, speaking of himself, "a fire within mo still which bums at times with fury." Upon that I asked, "Arc- you In reality the Iron Chancellor?" "ho," he said, "not naturally; the Iron I have created to use when necessary." CALLED FRANCE "ENEMY." "Germany," said Bismarck, "Is a now empire, and It must bo protected from possible assault by one or two or both Powers, one to tho oast, tho other to the west of us.

Bismarck suggested that perhaps tho East holds the future kejs of Europe China, Russia, or both, Ho told an aneciioto of tho King at the buttle of Koniggrits:, when 'he mistook the nohsi-'ot hullfts for tho chirping of sparrows. Ho 'as persuaded by Bismarck to leave, very reluctantly, the Held wlu-n ho was in Im minent danger, Bismarck riding behind and giving tho rump of the King's steed a kick to make him gallop. "My master," Bismarck aald, "turned round and gave me a reproachful look; but Iih took tho hint md rodo out of danger. Thut samu tvpmng he telegraphed to Queen Augusta, 'Bimirck took me somewhat rudely fiom the fleld.' " I "My grandfather," said Bismarck, "serv j d for three ears under Frederick tho i Great, and told me this anecdote: An ! ensign made a blunder during the maneu vers of troops at a review. Tho King, as nas his wont when annoyed, fell Into a violent rage and pursued the terrified 'nslgn stii'k In hand. Tho young soldier ran for very life, and Jumped .1 dltcli. i leaving the King upon the other Bide shaking his stick nt him In a fury. Shortly after the escape of tho ensign the colonel of the regiment camo up to the King and said, 'Your Majesty, the young man committed a blunder, doubt Ifss. I have Ju.st received his resigna tion from Your Majesty's service." plac ing the document Into the King's hands I urn surrv for It. for he was a Kood officer; but lie can take do other fctep under the circumstances.' The King un neicd, 'Bend htm to me." Tho ensign as M-nt for. and came trembling, lust ths time the stripes should In reality fall upon his shoulders, or still worse, he might he sent to prison. Without any Prefare the King replied. 'Here Is your captaine, sir, which I endeavored to glvo on this morning: but ou ran away so swiftly that my old legs could not catch ou up.' One can inwgli.e the delight " me ensign when ho found thut ho was me recipient of promotion and not of A. G. Howard, a Nebraska man, has In vented a dovleo which sounds a warning when a third party breaks In on the wire, and which ulso Identifies the culprit phone. As there nre about 3,000,000 party line telephones In operation In the United States, It can bo seen that the device Is destined to affect a .great many people and to check a firmly established custom.' The man whose Invention marks the doom of,eavosdropplnB Is the possessor of a honda fide photograph, showing a farmer's wlfo at work at her sewing ma chine with tho receiver of tho telephone tlrmly bound to her ear, so that sho may not miss a single word of the conversa tion of her neighbors throughout the en tile duy. Howard's device hns been tried out on a number of party lines and has proved practical. It is the result of 11 years' expel Imentation. "One of tho questions most frequently asked of me by new subscribers," says Howard, who himself Is In the telephone business, "is this: 'Does every ono on tho lino have an opportunity to hear what say when 1 am talking to another party?' I am forced to acknowledge that such Is tho case. One farmer's wlfo asked me that question 11 years ago. When I re plied she asked me If there was not In existence a telephone that would give private service on a party line. When I told her that I had never heard of such an Instrument she said bomo bright tele phone man had better get busy and In vent one: It would make his fortune. I took the tip, got busy, and believe I have solved the problem." Mr. Howard's device can be readily at tached to any telephone. Tho user oper ates his telephone in the old manner, ex cept that he turns a little switch Just as soon as ho begins to talk This switch starts a mechanism which is timed by a small clock. An indicator points out the time the conversation continues and the telephone connection Is automatically cut off at the end of four minutes. If during tho conversation some other subscriber on the line picks up his receiver, the re moval of the Instrument from the hook produces a musical sound, which not only notifies tho users, but Identifies tho one who Is listening. DISC TRODUCES SOUND. The Identifying sound is. produced Ly means of a disc carrlng toothed pro jections on its extremity, which come In contact with a pair of keynote tongues. These tongues produce the musical signal, which Is of a high or a low note, to represent tho long or the short ring used to call the different subscribers on the purty lino Inasmuch as most party lines have fiem four to twenty users, there are tho corresponding number of dif ferent signals or muslcat sounds by means of which the location of the receiver Just removed 's learned. The devloo thus has the twofold effect of measuring the length of a conversa tion and Identifying the euesdroppor. The Inventor believes that cutting down unnecessary conversation, by automati cally shutting off the connection at the end of four minutes, will effect a saving of SO per cent, or more on batteries, and I that It will eventually iet.ult in reduced I telephone- rates. It Is, however, ery doubtful If most country subscribers will tako kindly to . tho devlco which will out off some of their keenest pleasures, for there Is no doubt that many farm wives meet and talk In , company on the uiral line3 in a way I which shoulil be regarded uu perfectly le- I gitimate. At such times a frantic call ! for u doctor Is always regarded and uu- ! der ordinary circumstances there Is very i little business need for tho telephone at tho hours when It Is used for nelghboily i talk. Hut business methods are moving i Into tho country along with selsntific Im provements on the farm, and forbid tho use of oven the home Instrument for such purposes. FRESNO DISTRICT DRIEST Section in California Has Had Least Bainfall. According to tho Weather Buieau re turns one of the driest spots In tho United States Is the Fresno district of California. They have had onl' !H per cent, of the normal rainfall since March 1. Tho West coast generally has been short of precipitation. Anothor dry dis trict centres In St. Louis, which has only 32 per cent, of normal rainfall. The Ohio Valley hns had from a half to two thirds of the usual quota, and there aro some very dry spots In tho Southwest and the Southeast that have not yet been cleat od up. But generally the country Is fairly well, supplied with moisture for the late summer season. Streams nre falily full and reservoirs are not low as a rule. Tho distribution Is uneven, however. Fort Worth, Tex., has 194 per cent, of normal, and Fort Smith, Ark., only 48 per cent. Some portions of Kansas have three weeks of 100 per cent, weather, prac tically arresting vegetable growth and cutllnir off the corn crop for nnythlng else but fodder. SUDS EXTINGUISH OIL FIRES Standard Oil Company's Test Meets With Success. Pouring oil on troubled waters has been In recent yenrs demonstrated as effective, and many ships now carry oil for that purpose. The way to put out oil fires has been found in an equall odd application. Tank tires have long been the bugaboo of oil men. Water Is useless. The Stand ard Oil Company has tested suds at Bayonne, N. J. It placed four thirty-inrh tand-pipes around a forty-foot tank. These were supplied wiht a solution of carbonate of soda and soap bark. With them were fusible links of phnsnhnr bronze cables controlled by a scries of triggers. Water was let ino th 4n i ' within three feet of the top, with three thousand gallons of Mexican crude oil and naphtha run on It. This was lighted. Tho fuses melted, tho soda dropped into tho tank and the foam at onco stnitnd. And this tremendous fire of oil and naph tha was extinguished thus outuniatkuily In nine seconds by n fourtcen'lnch layer of suds or foam. Another experiment was tried with three thousand gallons of oil and ono hundred gallons of gasoline. The stand pipes were operated by hand. After the Inflammable stuff was Ignited It was al lowed to rage for flvo minutes. One stand plpo was opened, but made little Impres sion. The rest were turned on thirty sec onds later and In ono minute the fire was out. So It Is now posslblo either auto matically or by hand to stop an oil fire almost at once by the suds HOPED ARENA NOTES "nobby" Dobh", at one time oi.o of tho l)Pt lightweight colored boxers, has return' ii from noveral sears' residence In England, blinking with hlin a French colored mlddlewo ght.
