lief station, which has been kept continuously
open since September. and before finally dSbaud
ing we, too, should express our heartfelt graft

The name of Clara Barton has ever been
cherished in our Southland and the Red
Cross the synonym Of the most noble charity.
But those OF who have modestly labored in
the same desolate field OF the September storm
better appreciate the devotion TO her holy
cause, the sacrifice 30 health and comfort. the

heartbroken, the counsel. born Of the wisdom Of
a wide experience. given 10 the brave people
OF the stricken land by Clara Barton aud the

her Those will never be forgotten by grateful
people.
At our station the assistance in the way Of
clothing and financial aid has been ''tower Of
strength during the winter when other sources
OF supplies. those of the Red Cross, the
international Sunshine Society and the Houston
Post" had ceased.
We therefore deem il a fitting close to labor
Of love to thus extend the grateful hand OF fra
tornal love to the Red Cross OF America.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY PLANS
" Gather bureau to Add n Third Ex-
nerimemt Sinfion.

The wireless telegraphy experiments be-
ing conducted by the Weather Bureau on
the North Atlantic Coast have awakened
no little interest ON the part of the gen
eral public. and Chief Moore is called upon
daily for information in regard to the
work. However, the work as yet is in an
embryonic stage and IL viii be some time
before results will be obtained.
There are to be three stations. The two
now completed are at Hatteras and at
Roanoke Island while one will shortly
he erected at cape Henry. After con-
ducting extensive Investigations the Gov
ernment experts found that the most ef-
fective mode for the transmission was
by wire cylinders. Each station win be
equipped with cylinders of sixteen wires
each and 40 feet in length. These cyiin-
ders it is expected will cover a magnetic
field of 500 miles. When the stations are
completed il is expected that they Will be
able to signal ships at sea and warn them
of approaching storms. This will not be
possible. however. unless the vessels are
equipped with receivers. and as il Will
doubtless be some time before merchant
ships are provided with these Instruments
their utility in this direction will not be
realized very soon.
