TO TALK ACROSS
THE WIDE OCEAN

If the assertions of Professor Pupin
are to be accepted as fact the time is not
for distant when the dream of science
viii. have been realized and it will have
become possible for person in this
country to carry on a telephone CONVEX
sation with friend on the other side of
the Atlantic. In fact, not only will this
be possible. but the system that will be
used is to be of such simple character
that it will be much cheaper to talk
with the party in Europe direct than it
now is to make use of the cable.
All this and much more is promised
by Professor Pupin and for once level
headed business men are taking a great
interest in the project, so much so that
1t will be a simple matter t raise the
money necessary to put the invention to
a practical test Again and again similar
inventions have been promised and have
gone to a natural deaf for lack of finan-
ton may be no better than those that
have preceded it, but there is little prob
ability that it will fail for want of a cer-
tain number of dollars and cents.
The reason for this is that the man
who now asserts that the oceanic tele-
phone is now a probability is not Wild
eyed crank. His standing as a scientist
is absolutely free from the spectacular
or sensational impulses which have char
acteriZed some men who have sought to
gain distinction in the field OF electrical
development. For years he has been
one of the most able of the instructors
at Columbia university, and such men
as Lord Kelvin have admitted that he
is one of the most important of Ameri-
can scientific intellects.
When such man, therefore, asserts
that he believes that it will soon be pos
sible to talk across the Atlantic it is not
strange that the world should stop to
listen.

constructors of long distance telephones

sending only medical missionaries, I
should think the missionary troubles in
China would rarely happen, for this is
tn ekind of philamthrophy that even the
masses can appreciate.
Though the Americans and Chinese
have widely different ideas on many
subjects they agree in regarding medi-
cine as a noble profession. I believe
that women. not only in America, but all
over the world, should adopt this pro-
fession, as it is one of the great means
of advancing the progress of civiliza-
tiOn.
I take special pride in DR.. Hu, who
was the first Chinese woman to graduate
in medicine, which she did in the Wo-
mems college Of Pennsylvania. l hope
that she will succeed in China.
Horace Greedy, one of your noted men
in journalism. advised all young men to
go west to seek their fortunes. If the
women of America would ask my advice
today, I would say with him, Go west,
young women, and stop not on this side
of the Pacific, but rather push on until
you have gained the further shore"
China has, 1t is generally estimated,
a population of 400, 900, 900, and Ealf of
that number at least are women. While

been regarded by scientists as one of the
impossible feats, the very thought of
which has no place save in the brain of
a dreamer. Among the experts, how
ever, there have been few men like
Carly, under whose eye the entire SUBJ
surface system of New York was INSTALL
ed Herbert T. Wade, the iminent elec-
trical specialist, and Professor Pupin,
who have refused to believe that there
We're any such limitations to be placed
u"on electrical energy, and it now looks
as if they would yet be able to prove
that there was reason in their apparent
madness.
Already Carly and Wade have wit
messed the operations of the Pupin sys-
tenn and their decl rations that the prob
lem has been solved has done much to
recommend the new invention to the at
tention of the scientific world.
Just how Professor Pupin'S apparatus
differs from that now in use is at pres
ent secret, but this does not seem to
have deferred wide awake business men
from giving their support to the system
They have seen that it's success is dem
onstrated from a purely scientific point
of view and they are anxious that the
new invention shall be put to a practical
experiment.
Already officials of the ocean cable
companies have seen in this discovery
a radical change in the methods of
oceanic communication and they are TAX
ing steps to put an experimental line in
Operation within few months. What
the outcome will be is matter in which
the commercial and scientific world are
equally interested.
Although Professor Pupin has been in
terested in this work from merely sci
entific point of view he will undoubtedly
be able to enjoy an immense financial
advantage from it. The discovery is ex-
c'usively his own, although he acknowl-
edges Indebtedness to certain scientists
of England for his knowledge of some of
the laws of electrical resistance.
This is merely secondary matter,
however, for it was Professor Pupin who
worked out the mathema tical formula,
then verified it experimentally. and ap-
piled his verification to tn emost import
aG.t technical problem the telephone en-
gtneers had met with: and, if it should
be demonstrated that he has taken down

SERVANT PROBLEM
TO BE SOLVED.
Miss Gail Laughlin Selected by the
Government to Perform This
Important Service.

OF all the problems that the twentieth
century is to be called upon to solve
there is none that will present more alb
solute difficulties than the servant prob
lem. While it has only been within
rcent years that this question has pre-
sented ITSELF it has now assumed such
proportions that the United States gov
ernment has determined that it Is inn
portant enough to deserve most serious

| has appointed Miss Gail Laughlin, of
| New York to investigate the problem
| and report upon possible means for Its
solution.
| Miss Laughlin is graduate of Welles-
| ley, class of 1894. and in 1898 she took
| her degree at the Cornell Law school.
"A few months later she was admitted
to the New York bar, and she has al

the legal circles of the metropolis. While

AMERICAN GIRLS OUGHT
TO GO TO CHINA
BY WI Ting Fang, Chinese Minister.

I believe in the highest education OF
women. not only in the literary hSS all
scientific and professional vocations
especially in th cline of medicine. A
celebrated statesman of my country once
said that the ambition of his life was
to become either a good prime minister
or a good physician.
The reason is that one has the care
of tn epolitical body, and the other that
of the human body, and both aim to
promote the welfare of the people. This
unquestionably evinces the high value
the Chinese attach to knowledge OF
medicine.

suit underneath the water cannot be re-
lied upon to carr the voice much fur
ther than 80 miles; so nearly all Of the
inventions to provide for telephonic COM
municaton from one side of the ocean
ITO the other have been based upon plans
that would, necessitate b-stations at
stated points. In this case, however,
the invention is bound round - no such
handicap. Professor Pupin's telephone
viii be operated unon submarine sys-
tenn entirely and will he as thou ighly
under water as the cable itself.
Up to the present time Professor Pu-
pins experiments have been confined to
his laboratory but there he has given
private tests that have amazed the sci
entists who have been permitted to wit
mess them. Within this room there are
coils upon coils of wire, all of which
have been submerged.
At the present time the mass br wire
that is used in the demonstrations is
equal to more than $50 miles in length
and yet on each occasion when experi-
ments have been made it has been
shown conclusively that the invention is
far more than aatoy. Withsa telephone
attached at either end of .this artificial
submarine cable conversations have been
carried on with perfect clearness, thus
demonstrating the seundness of Profess
sor Pupin's theory and apparently the
accuracy and perfection of his novel ap-
paratus.
1t is alo stated, moreover, that in ad.
dition to being able to furnish perfect
submarine telephone communication,
Professor Pupin's invention will be al
most revolutionary in it's effect upon
aerial telephony. He has solved one OF
the most difficult problems in this
branch of electrical research and has dis
covered system by whicn the efficiency
of electrical energy can ..e enormously

all the difficulties that have stood in .he
way of telephonic communication be-
tween such distant noints as New York

The Memorial Bridge.
From the Boston Journal
The Washington Star is hopeful that the
coming Congress will make such appropria-
ton as is necessary for the contamination
of the plan for an artistic bridge to span
the Potomac river as a permanent memo
rial of the centenary of the national capt.
tai, which is % be celebrated shortly after
the opening Of Congress in December. 1t
believes that many leaders in both the
House and SeEate are favorable to the
proposition, and it is certain that the wishes
of the people will be respected. Designs
have been submitted for bridge that will
adequately express the practical needs and
artistic requirements Of the work. The
Stars appeal to the pride Of the people Of
Washington in their city should meet with
a hearty response. The celebration Of the
centenary of the city will go far toward
arousng fresh interest in the project of the
memorial bridge. The erection of this per-
manent memorial would be a crowning act
OF the centennial year and add another val
ued feature TO the monumental works of
art and architecture that make the national
capital at present the object of just ma
tional pride.
