ON WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
LIGHT Is NOW USED TO MAKE
COMMUNICATION.
a German Professor Invents System
by Which Sea-Going Ships Can
Communicate at Sight.

In the various forms of the so called
wireless" telegraphy, about which we
have been hearing so much lately, the
electric waves that carry the message
spread in all directions, so that any
one who has the proper receiver can
read the signals. Attempts to collect
and concentrate the waves have not
yet been practically successful. This
disadvantage has led German expert
menter, Herr Karl Zickler, to expert
ment with method in which he util-
ICES the influence discovered by Herr
Hertz in 1887 of certain light rays of
short wave length on electrical dis
charges. He describes his device at
length in the Observation-Disclosures Zeit-
schrift, but the quotation below is
from the abstract in the Engineering
Magazine. According to this maya
zine:
"The most effective rays for this
purpose are the ultraviolet, and, as
these are transmitted by quartz and
INSTRUCTED by glass, this fact is util-
lied in connection with the method
of transmission.
"The source of light in the trans
mitter is an arc lamp, the rays from
which are reflected and collected by a
lens of rock crystal and projected up
on the receiver. The latter consists
of glass vessel, closed air tight at
the end by. a truly parallel plate of
rock crystal, and partially exhausted
of air. In front of the receiver is
placed rock crystal condensing tense
and within the exhausted chamber are
the two electrodes, one of which is an
inclined disk and the other a small
ball. These electrodes are connected
with the secondary portion of an in
duction coil, and, when the ultra-vio
let rays fall upon the inclined disk
and are reflected to the ball, dis
charge will be produced, which may
be used either with a telephone or a
coherer to be read.
''The signals are sent by alternately
interposing glass in front of the
rays issuing from the transmitter, and
removing it therefrom, the interrupt
tons corresponding to the make and
break of a telegraph key.
"Since the glass does not produce
any variation in the visual effect of
the rays, the signals cannot be read
by sight; hence such an apparatus, in
the form of a searchlight, might be
used to communicate from one ship
to another, without revealing the fact
to onlookers.
Herr Zickler has made many expo
riments to verify his conclusions, and
appears to have demonstrated the
feasibility of his ideas in practice.
HE is now making the arrange
ments necessary to carry on further
experiments at greater distances than
were at first attempted. The early
trials were made with a distance of
only so meters Q63 feet between the
transmitter and receiver. 1t is claim
ed that, while the distance to which
messages may be sent by this system
is limited mainly by the strength of
the light, it is also dependent to a
certain extent upon the nature of the
light, the strength of the current and
other conditions"

THE LAW OF THE CACHE.

One of the interesting phases of life
in the Canadian northwest is indicat-
ed in the respect which is paid to the
unwritten law of the cache. For in
stance, an explorer in the woods may
hang coat, boots, accouterments or
any personal belongings in a tree, and
find them there when he returns, even
if weeks have elapsed, with the modi-
fication that a hungry man may open
ii and take food sufficient for his
needs, first building a fire as an indi-
cation that no secrecy in the visit is
intended. Almost absolute assurance
is felt in so disposng of property in
the woods, and when it is considered
that those deep woods are peopled by
representatives of civilization which
has need of bolts, bars and the pro-
lection of a constabulary, fine ethi-
cal phenomenon is presented in the
situation.
In the pathfnding times in the his
tory of any new country, the isola
ton, dangers and privations of the
pioneer keep him more or less in sym
pathy with his fellow man. Even to-
day in many backwoods sections of
the United States the latchstring is
lists. 4 settlers cabin in any emer-
gency is more or less the cabin of any
person in distress who may chance
that way. If the settler be absent, the
traveller may enter and make himself
at home as his needs may require, al
ways holding himself responsible for
the proper appreciation of the priyi-
lege.
But that the floating, adventurous
froth of iaded civilization should
people a country commonly under
stood to be without law or order, and
yet adapt itself to a code of morals
such as courts and jails at home could
not instil, certainly smacks of a refor-
nation undreamed of in the wilder
nesses of the great cities.
Where is the secret of the virtue?
Does it lie in the mysteries of the
great woods? Is it that in their
glooms and silences man has a chance
to awaken conscience and to feel his
kinship and duty to all men?

PHOTOGRAPHY AND DRINK.

Drunkenness having made alarming
strides in New Zealand, it has been re-
solved to call in the aid of photogra-
ply to put it down. In future any
one who may be condemned on the
charge of being drunk and disorderly
will have to have his photograph TAX
en-, at his own expense, and distribute
it among all innkeepers, barkeepers,
etc. The idea is that publicans will
then be able to refuse to serve any
one whose portrait appears in this
original gallery, but when the law has
been in force for few months it is
probable says the London Sketch that
the collection of photographs will be
rather unwieldly and if customer has
to wait until the landlord can be sat
istied that his photograph is not there,
he is likely to remain thirsty for a
long time. The photographers, how
ever, ought to drive a roaring trade.
