has secured another patent on the jmproye-

making three In all His latest patent, issued
June -. covers the main features Of the an
paratus now used by Marconi for receiving
aerial messages. In his original apparatus
the inventor gathered the Hertzian waves by
means OF an insulated aerial conductor direct
ly connected with an imperfect contact, or
coherer, In local circuit He now transmits
the waves TO the coherer through an induction
coil. the primary Of which Is connected WI tn the
aerial conductor and the secondary with the co.
herer. The induction coil is constructed ofvery
thin wire not over tlftieth OF a centm eter in
diameter. the wlndings being in single LAYER.
and 1t Is desirable that the coil should be in
tune with the electrical oscillation transmitted

turns and thickness OF the wire There IL a
condenser on the connection between the sec.
ondarv coil and the cohercr composed of siy
tlnioil orTrcopper plates Insulated by paraff1ne
PAPER The usual local battery aud relay and
choking coils to prevent the oscillations from
ruHning INTO the battery are used.
Marconi claims that the Introduction OF tho
COZ IN the conductor not only improves he
signals. put also prevents to a great extent
any, atmospheric electricity collected by the
primary Of the coil. thus, preventing a charge
through the coherer. Thus the improved re-
ceiyer. properly attuned to the transmitter
will receive only such electrical waves OF aerial
messages as are intended for It. Marconi now
uses two forms OF aerial conductor. one
$40 feet long. the top OF the conductor being
l2O feet from the ground. the other being Il
galvanized Iron wire netting about two feet
broad and 100 feet long. the top OF the netting
being 10 feet, above the ground. Marconi
has found 1t desirable that the conductor
should offer n broad surface for the collection

triotic addresses In place Of the pastors regu-

an hour on the vlrtues.and the weaknesses OF
the simple. childlke sailormen Of the Amerl-

must have an education such as men OF the
old navy never dreamed OF as necessary.
But the same brave spirit is in our men now
that there has always been. he said
The Commander turned to Cheplain Steele
and said that he would have knocked the head

CHAPLAIN had told In a story show ing how
sailors we're looked down upon and treated
unlnstly. A little later Commander Wadhlms
told how he was going uptown in street car

record for good behavior in tho navy. and
how. when the sailor brushed against the man

takes for his text. in the current issue OF his

Of Archbishop Corrigan 10 Pope Leo Xlll. in
acknowledgment OF the late encyclical on
"Amercanism:"
The Bishops and the clergy would have had
