WIRELESS TElE6RAPHY.
Some Results OF Prof. Green's Hasty Ex-
periments In Chicago Last sunday

From the Chicago Tribune.
Hasty and rudimentary as were Prof.
Green's experiments with wireless te-
legraphy in this city on Saturday and
Sunday, they contribute TO the sum TO-
tai Of knowledge on this fascinating
subject. The successful communica-
tion between the Tribune Building and
the Marquette Building demonstrates
for the first time that the electric i'm
pulse can be utilized despite the pres
ence of innumerable wires and iron or
steel beams in the intervening build
ings. The test between the hfe-saving
station and tug far out in the lake is
no less interesting. The fact that the
storm did not interfere with the COM
munication confirms the experiences OF
Marconi himself in the English Chan
mel last winter. The sudden ceasiDg
of communication after the tug had
gone two miles from shore also appears
to lend strong confirmation to the
Italians theory that the distance at
tainable by the electric waves bears
fixed relation to the square Of the YER
tical wire used in sending the message.
1t is in communicating with vessels
at sea that wireless telegraphy gives
promise of being ms Ca A. re re Eror

shows the powers of the apparatus IN
this direction. 1t is evident that a
transmitter Of this kind creates
"sphere Of influence " having radius
of at least two miles, and that any YES
sell equipped with proper receiving ap-
paratus will be notified the moment 1t
enters this sphere Of impalpable dis
turbance By this means vessel can
be warned automatically whenever 1t
comes in dangerous proximity to reef
at night or in fog. Still more impor-
tant is the possibility of using it to
prevent collisions at sea. II every YES

necessary batteries and receivers why
would il not be possible for an automa'
tic warning to be sounded the moment
one ship came within the electric at
mosphere Of another2 With such pre-
cautions an accident like that Of La
Bourgogne would be almost impossible
These are simply some Of the most
elementary uses TO which wireless tele-
graphy can be put. Sig. Marconi has
already demonstrated that telegraphic
messages can be sent thirty miles, and
his own experiments are as yet quite
rudimentary. 1t seems almost certain
that this discovery can and will be used
for communicating from one vessel to
another at sea. 1t will enable "ships
that pass in the night to hold an ex'
tended dialogue in passing without
checking their speed. 1t will enable an
admiral to communicate with his whole
feet st distances precluded by the limi-
tations of wigwagging. The fascina-
tion of mystery and Of utility should
urge American scientists to prosecute
further the Investigations so ably begun
by Prof Green.

to be worn by the woman who manages
her own machine One OF the newest of
these capes comes almost to the bottom
of the gown. It is built of military blue
cloth, and from the decided dip at the
beck it rounds up to the left shoulder.
where it is draped and held in shape by Old
silver clasps 1t is bordered with double
shaped founces of the cloth, trimmed with
black velvet appliques.
A modish little Jacket with short basques
is built of wood brown cloth. 1t is cut
round-necl1ed to show a yoke of white
cloth and is hooked invisibly to the left
side. A broad band of dull old blue velvet
borders the yoke and edge OF the jacket.
This is placed under the cloth that is cut
in small round scallops and heavily stitch
ed in silk of the same color. The white
cloth of the yoke is nearly eclipsed by a
heavy braiding of blue soutache mixed
with silver cord. From the yoke merges
the high straight collar of white cloth
braided like the yoke. The sleeves of the
blue cloth are perfectly plain.
With all of these jackets there will be
worn butterfly bows of tulle or lace era
watts and scarfs that will ia in the vacant
space between the reyers where the silk
scarf once did duty.

than the boleros and longer than you ex-

In this trousseau were three long cloaks
lined with various materials; one was lined
with fur, one with silk and one with a very
thick soft satin. The cloaks were of covert
cloth, silk and serge. The Etons were all
long, all finished around the lower edge
with points, and several Of them were belt
ed. Others were long in front, ending in
pointed tabs.
There is a tendency to wear the shirt
waist all winter; in the heavier chevots
and fer these shirt waists there are being
made thickly wadded little Elton coats,
with long, loose fronts and tight-httins
backs They are inexpensive, and woman
can afford to have several of them, one
for each hat and small muff of cloth to
match each cloak.

THE LONG CLOAKS
OF EARLY AUTUMN
They Will Entirely Envelope the Figure AlmOst
COncea1ing the Elegant Gown.

Paris September 1s.-Dame Fashion Is
slow in fulfilling the prophesies Of the
fashion prophets who have prepared US for
.he most startling surprises In winter gar
ments. After having heard innumerable
minute descriptions of the pannier skirts
and the draped tunlcs that we would be
forced to adopt this winter, in spite of all
the objections and protests that have been
raised, we are prepared for all sorts Of
radical changes in dress.
I am told by some Of the best tailors that
there will be a gradual change from the
absolutely elose-ftting skirt to the much

the back. This stitched strap is repeated
again at the bust line and passes around
the tops of the close fitting plain sleeves.
The broad revers and collar were of black
velvet.
As each one of the models was shown me,
I tried to picture them worn in conjunction
with full panniers and much looped over
skirts. But the long jackets and coats are
so close fitting over the hips that one Is
obliged to think that they are designed
with the idea of being worn with clinging
gowns
As impraeticable as it seems, no few CT
the long capes are fashioned for autouo-
bile wear. OF course they are not intended

for my grosgrain suit at once. You will
remember the one, as 1t has revers on the
frontage and chain stitched biases on the
back. 1t is in the lower trunk in the cup
board beside the back room, under your
winter coat. If not there it must be in the
sealed box on the third shelf in the front
room cupboard. If you don't find 1t there 1t
must be somewhere else. The trunk keys
are in the second wardrobe drawer, unless
they were put in the chiffonier; and I think
the keys are in vase on one of the man
tells. Pack the waist so as not to wrinkle
1t: and, oh! James, please do not swear!
