he obtained his results only after
many eX3eriments-one cannot realize
how MANY without having seen them.
There is an Infinite number of possibil-
tiles. but once the proper relation is
established between the transmitter
and receiver, only a return to that re-
lation viii bring the true result.
slight VACATION of the proper resistance
at either end is enough to make the re-
ceiVer imperative 1t is easy to see how
almost any number of sets of instrll-
ments may be arranged, and with a
different ratio or relation each acting
without interference from any of the
others. There is a familiar analogy
in different tuning forks responding to
different notes of a piano. only in the
electric tuning there are many more
possibilities, since the electric vibra-
lions range from 100000 to billions
per second. When the ether wave
maker produces a vibration of 400 OOO.-
100000 per second, he creates light, and
when he gets vibration of trillions per
second, he has the X-ray.
The problem of prevention of inter
eepted messages has been attacked by
NJ. Tommasi, who, as reported recently
to the Academic des Sciences. used two
transmitters at each station, one of
which transmits the desired message
and the Other-termed the s'blind
transmitter"-a series of meaningless |
dots and daSheS. By keeping the range |
of the blind transmitter a little less
than the other. the apparatus may be
arranged so that only the real message |
is received al the station and any re- !
ceiver interDosed for the purpose of /
tapping will receive both the message |
and the tumble Of extra dots and |
1ashes, so that the real message is not |
1istinguishable.

Multiplex Aerial Messages.

But this plan does not obviate the
possibility of an outsider setting up a
receiver very near the other and out
of range of the blind transmitter. nor
yet of setting up a counter transmitter
which shall ''ioin" all signals intended
for the regular station. Marconi's
present arrangement prevents inter-
ception OF messages or jamming of in
struments, and, moreover. permits the
use Of large number of installations
in the same place. In reality he has
improved on the multiplex system of
wire telegraphy which is so useful.
In the use of the aerial wire. Mar
conf often found that the vertical wire
would become charged with atmos-
pheric electricity, and the operator
might receive a shock in making the
change from the transmitting to the
receiver circuit, the air and earth wires
being directly connected to the receiver
This difficulty was obviated by insert
ing a small induction coil in the re-
ce!ving circuit, the primary of which
is connected to the coherer and the
secondary to the earth and air wires.
The ether waves act on the coherer by
induction. and the atmospheric electric
ity cannot collect since it has free
passage to the earth. Another. recent
Improvement is a modification of the
Morse key by which>fhe 'change-over'
from the TRANSMITTED to the receiver
may be made automatically. This pre-
vents the operator from accidentally
operating the transmitter when the

Contribution to Galveston.

The school authorities for the boronghs
of Manhattan and The Bronx have just
completed the taking up of collection
from the school children for the aid of
the school children OF the stricken city of
Galveston Only once before has such a
thing been attempted, and that was when
there were just about half as many child.
This was in 1871, just altar the Chicago
tire. The project of raising fund then
was not decided upon without opposition,
for such thing was without precedent,
and many felt that II was a dangerous
departure. This same opposition ap-
psared when the project was formed of
making similar collection for the Gal
weston children. But the Texas disaster
was of such magnitude that the school
board felt that It would be jusitied in
taking action whereby those children who
were able might be nsrmitted to help in
relieving the suffering of child rem de-

this had been expected by the school au-

that 1t was impressed onthe minds OF the
children that contributions were purely
voluntary and that no one should give

Only a little OF the money collected re-
