At a recent annual meeting Of the

as TO whether the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting should be read before
business could proceed or not. One
daughter ventured TO quote Speaker
Reed on the subject, but she was
promptly oyerTuled and the reading
dispensed with, on the motion of an
other daughter, who asserted vehe-

waves of ether. This would prove to be a
grave objection in transmitting secret mes
sages from warship to warship, from fleet
to fleet, from army to army or from one
person to another when messages needed
to be strictly private. OF course, the mes
sages could be sent in cipher or by secret
code, but it has been often proved that
secret codes and ciphers are capable of
translation. Another objection is the pos
slbihty OF destroying the message by
lnterposing vagrant ethereal waves to the
waves Of ether carrying the message and
thereby destroying the consistency of the
message. 1t has been argued that mes
sages sent in the course of ordinary tele-
graphic communication can be DESTROYED
and interrupted by a person cutting the
wire or sending private electric currents
into them, but it is obvious that 1t would be
much more difficult to tamper with a sin
gle wire than it would be TO interfere with
the transmission of a message travelling
through space. J. A Fleming, professor
OF electrical engineering in University
College, London, says in comparing wire
less telegFaphy and telegraphy with wires:
The difference between wireless telegra-
ply and telegraphy with wires is the same
as the difference between a postal card.
or open letter, and a sealed one. The con-
tinuous wire is like the envelope OF the
4aIteI. II prevents the dlnusIon OF lnfOr-
nation beyond certain limits"
Notwithstanding all the objections that
have lately been raised to the wireless
method of transmitting messages. scien-
I lists admit that the future will slowly
unroll the scope and limitations of this
new telegraph and ultimately demonstrate
that all the obstacles which now present
themselves as a hindrance to its being a
perfect mode of ntercommunication can
be removed, and that its future develop
ment is practically unlimited.

NEW METHODS INTRODUCED.
Auditor of the War Department sys
tematizing the Work.


Frank II. Morris, Auditor Of the Navy
Department, was recently placed in charge
Of The work in the auditors Office Of the
War Department. Since assuming the new
position he has established new rules and
has thoroughly systematized the business
Of the office, AS a result the large amount
of routine work which had been accumu-
lating for many months is being rapidly
finished
When Mr.. Morris took charge Of the
work last August it was found that the
Office was nearly three years behind in
its routine business, and many complaints
were being received by persons who had
claims against the Government
With the assistance of Chief Clerk
Brown Mr.. Morris started an investiga-
tion, of the result of which he says:
L made note of the amount of work
done by the best clerks; from this I made
an average amount that should be required
from each clerk. il was such a startling
innovation that I lowered it several de-
grees The clerks who dawdled through
their work and managed to write 45 or 80
cards day are now required to write 100

A woman who formerly wrote on an aver
age OF % cards now writes from 200 to
2l2 Others keep very much higher There
was no reason why the clerk who now
writes 200 cards should not have done it
before 1t was simply a lack of applfca-
tion TO business during business hours. The
clerk who formerly managed to do any
where from 10 TO 20 lines day of schedule
work was at first required to get through
with A., and this is rapidly Increasing. This
average was gotten at just as the other
was. and then lowered from 55 to - lines
Many clerks have done twice the work and
not complained"
Mr. Morris says he is not opposed to
women clerks but he thinks the men
clerks. as a rule do the best work. He
also says that the civil service examina-
tions are not criteTions OF ability and that
many clerks who have passed good exami-
nations are not good workers. He saws
there are too many old people in the
Offices who are conscientious. but unable

miles. In 1897 two masts $50 feet high
were erected. one at the South Foreland
lighthouse, on the Isle Of Wight, and an
other at Boulogne, France Marconi
stretched wires attached to his instruments
TO the top of these masts and made num-
Der of successful tests of sending messages
across the English Channel. Tests were
made at sea which resulted as successfully
as had those made ashore. In August,
1898, wireless communication was set up
between Osborne House, on the Isle OF
Wight. where the Queen was staying, and
the royal yacht anchored off Cowes Bay,
with the Prince OF Wales aboard The
Prince had injured his knee and his mother
wanted frequent bulletins regarding his
health. In this way nearly 200 private
messages were sent without d break.
Successful tests of this no-wire system
of telegraphy have also been made in the
Italian and British navies, which were pro-
nounced highly successful by the officers
who had the tests in charge.
One of the chief difficulties with wire
less telegraphy in its present stage of
development is the inability of conining
messages to any one receiver, for messages
can be taken on any number of receivers
