ian waves do not hold for the long waves,
for the reason that the Hertzian waves
radiated in free space and the ordinary
telephone or telegraph waves are forced
along single path or wire. Prof. Pupin
pointed out this fact to his fellow scien-
fists some two years ago, and explained
then to some extent his method for over
coming the difficulty 1t is interesting to
note that the vibration of the Hertzian
wave is many millions per second and the
waves vary in length from a few inches
to few hundred feet. Marconi uses this
form of waves for his wireless telegraph
work The ordinary telephone or teie-
graph wave on the other hand, as has
been noted, is hundreds of miles in length
and is produced by vibrations of only a
few hundred or few thousand per second
Now the chief drawback to long distance
telephony has been the blurring of the
vibrations which act on the telephone
receiver, caused by the action of these
long waves. In telegraphy the main oldt-
Guilty seems to have been the loss of ener-
gy along the line, together with the great
resistance of a long dine. These difficult
ties Prof. Pupin set about 10 overcome
The Savannah morning news., 1901-02-10

by an apparatus which would produce
short waves and reduce the evil effects
of resistance.
How was he to produce shorter waves?
He brought TO bear first the light of other
science on the problem, and taking the
action of a wave of light in passing
through different mediums, thus producing
various wave lengths, he applied the prin-
clple to electric waves. For example,
the wave length of sodium light is shorter
in glass than In vacUum-light travels
slower in glass than in vacuum, and If
one could increase the index of refracuon
Of glass to anything he wished, he could
decrease the wave length in that glass to
anything he wished. AS the medium
grows denser the energy it stores up in
creases. AS Prof. Pupin argued, If
substance which stores up a thousand
times as much energy as a vacuum De
placed in the path of the ray Of light the
waves will be one thousandth part as
long in that substance as in the vacuum.
Now apply the principle 10 electric
waves. Prof. Pupin found the necessary
medium in a certain choking COLI of
wire which he inserted at intervals in his
The Savannah morning news., 1901-02-10

circuit. In one of his earlier
experiments, he connected in a single cir
cult fourteen coils of wire, each of which
was capable of storing up the same
amount of energy as ten miles of tele-
phone wires, that is to say, each had
the same amount of self induction, re-
sistance, and capacity as ten miles Of
telephone wire. The coils were placed
three inches apart, making a total length
of three and a half feet. He had, then,
The equivalent of 40 miles of telephone
wire. A wave 40 miles long would de-
velope it's whole wave length, taking
spiral course now, in the fourteen coils,
but as it had gone over only three and
a half feet its rectilinear velocity and
therefore its rectilinear wave length was
reduced to three and one half feet, a re-
duction to less than one-two hundred
thousandth part of its original length.
Thus very simply, it would seem Prof.
Pupin found way of creating short
waves and having found them, of max
ing swift and accurate electric commun-
ication possible over much greater dis
tances than before One of the great OBJ
stacles to ocean telephony was then re-

when depth OF pot is granted them.
A drainage at the bottom of these pots
was secured by filling in with broken
crooks A mellow soil, made moderately
rich with thoroughly rotted and pulver-
lied manure and porous by the addition
of quarter of the soils bulk Of clean

stau the system on land wires and II il
proposed soon to lay another Atlantic
cable after the Pupin pattern. UP 70 the
present time the longest distance accom-
plished for telephony Is some l,5O miles,
but Prof Pupin anticipates no difficulty
in teIephonlng several thousand miles.
Already experiments have been made
looking toward the application OF teleg-
raphy at the rate of 1000 words minute
with the new rapid telegraph instrument
attached 40 this apparatus and there
seems to be no reason why success should
not follow Indeed, Prof. Pupin says that
the experiments have already shown that
rapid telegraphy in connection with his
system is an assured fact.
At any rate, the present tedious meth
cd of cabling will be superseded by at
least the speed and method of ordinary
land telegraphy. With Prof Pupin's APP
paratus a much larger proportion OF the
energy impaired to the transmitting end
of the cable will be received at the other
terminal and the rejecting mirror and
sine wave method will be unnecessary.
Messages may be sent and received
through transatlantic cable as readily
as a message can now be sent from New
York to Philadelphia. More than that,
ocean telephony Is possible. We may talk
with friends on the continent as readily
as we now talk over distance of a few
miles The present improvement is of
more far reaching Importance in that the
easier means OF communication will bring
about cheaper rates for ocean and land
messages. Indeed the Imagination may
carry one far in the attempt to limit the
possibilities of such simple apparatus
as this invention proves to be. And yet,
as has been pointed out Prof. Pupin has
not so much revolutonized present sys-
TENS as he has improved upon them.
Several months ago Prof. Pupin was
approached by one OF the telephone com
panies who wanted to secure the benefit
OF his patent, but they were unwilling to
pay the very modest sum which the in
ventor was then willing to take. Since
that time they have had occasion to re-
greet their action i'm the matter, as the
present arrangement for the use OF the
invention gives to Prof. Pupin a very
much larger return than he had formerly
asked. The inventor is still working on
his apparatus in his laboratory at Column
bia and doubtless further improvements
in It's working capacity will be secured
Prof. Pupn is very modest about his
success and dislikes the notoriety which
It has brought upon him.

In his letter the governor declined to

of the legislative council stating that
he required specific demands for certain
data and that there did rot appear to
be any subject before the house on
which data was needed by the members.

ton the governor sent another note to

Chicago. April 1o.-A special to the
Tribune from Kankakee, Ill. says: The
sale of two girls. members of a gypsy
band at Momence. this county. today,
brought on riot that for time threat
ened serious results. So angry were the
citizens over the traffic that a mob was
formed which drove the gypsy band
from town
The deal which caused all the trouble
was the sale of Juanita Costello and
Margot Czesh, 16 and II years Of age, by
their guardian, Nicholas Karoplin, q
Russian, TO a Brazilian. also a member
Of the band. the price paid being $500.
The girls refused to recognize the sale
and threatened their prospective master.
The Brazilian then swore out warrant
for Karoplin. charging him with obtain
ing money by false pretenses.
A squad of special police was found
necessary to secure the Russian who drew
a revolver on the officers. The failure
to secure an interpreter made it inpossi-
BILE to get evidence against the prisoner
and he was discharged
During the trial before Magistrate
Lloyd the mob gathered. Threats Of
lynching and Of tar and feathers were
made. The gypsies hastily packed up
their belongings and fed.
