TRIUMPH OF WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY

c IGNOR MARCONI has just cause Tor pride IN
the splendid feat achieved by his system OF
wireless telegraphy in transmitting reports Of
the yacht race From a vessel following the yachts
over the course the messages were sent through the
air for distance OF fifteen miles and were then from
the land station sent by wire to The Call Each dis
patch was marked by statement OF the minute at
which it was sent from the vessel, and such was the
efficacy OF the arrangements made transmit it that
within the space OF two or three minutes it bull
letined to the public in front of The Call Office.
This is the second time The Call has demonstrated
the usefulness OF wireless teegraphy in gathering
news When arrangements were made for an
nouncng by that form OF telegraphy the arrival off
the Golden Gate OF the Sherman bearing the Calitor
MIA troops the enterprise was in the OF
pertinent and the work designed to be performed was
comparatively simple The test however, as will be
remembered, was completely successful and The Call
accomplished the feat of being the first newspaper in
the world to make use OF the system OF teleg-
raphy in the practical worl, OF newsgathering.
What has now been accomplished in getting reports
from the yacht race removes wireless telegraphy from
the domain OF scientific toys that of public useful
ness. Its value to newspapers has been demonstrated
beyond further questioning, and it will be difficult to
set the limits OF its eventual service tosthe world 1t
has been shown that any number OF words be
sent without wires across wide distances, and be
as readily transcribed and understood ii dispatched
by the old methods A new marvel has been accom-
pshed by science and mechanism, and the human
race has made a further stride in the direction Of
compelling electricity to be its servant.
The feat Of yesterday breaks the record Of long dis
tance newsgathering The people who watched the
miniature yachts in front Of The Call building and
read the reports of the they written upon
the bulletins might almost be said to have witnessed
the race. The wireless telegraph sent report OF
every shifting OF the course OF the yachts on each
successive tack and OF every change made in the sails
Not an incident OF the race was omitted AS soon as
any slightest fact OF interest occurred it was once
telegraphed to the shore. The electric energies
crossed the instantly, and once the reports
were dispatched across the continent over The Calls
special leased wire. The aggregate number OF words
dispatched $500, and perfect the system
ta not single message had to be repeated Thus the
watchers in San Francisco followed the race and
learned just how the contest was going on at every
instant. Our contemporaries, who had no reports
save those sent by the old system of teegraphy were
completely dstanced in reporting the news to the
public. Wireless telegraphy had achieved triumph
that is indspuable, and from this time on will be a
constant factor in the service OF progressive Jour
nasm.

A weak solution of carbolic acid applied

be stronger than one part pure carbolic

carbolic acid is virulent poison. When

The pipe organ recital in its success
was all that could be desired in the ex-
cellence Of the program and in the large
attendance. The proceeds were about
$3.50 Z. The society is truly apprecia-
tive Of the generous response from the
sister churches and from the commun-
ity at large in their patronage. Such
responses most happily indicate the
pleasant christian cooperation of our
people.
The service on Sabbath morning was
very largely attended, many of our
Baptist friends worshipping with us in
the absence of their pastor, and it was
a pleasant occasion of christian fellow
ship. The pastor preached on the
theme "God, Our Exceeding Great Re
ward" The choir rendered very effec-
lively a response and anthem, the duet
part being taken by Mrs. Philbrook
and Mr.. s. McHenry. The leading of
the song service by the pipe organ is
greatly appreciated, its tone being
peculiarly sweet and m~elodious, giving
strength and harmony to the notes Of
praise. Miss Agnes King recently re-
turned from her year at Oberlin con-
servatory, gives excellent satisfaction
as organist.
The Christian Endeavor meeting was
quite spiritual aud helpful in its char.
acter, its theme being the "Promises.'
Next Sabbath evening a missionary
service will be held at the Christian
Endeavor hour, led by Miss Anna Won
Coelln. All are welcomed.
