A PATHETIC EXPERIENCE.
An Instance Where Wireless TeIeg.
raphy Was Anything But q
Blessing.

A pathetic experience has been that
OF Capt. Jorgensen, of the IightshuI
on Nantucket shoals. That lightship
is anchored out in the Atlantic some
distance from Nantucket. Communica-
ton with the island of Nantucket is
kept up by wireless telegraphy, says
the Rochester Democrat and Chron-
cle.
The other day the mysterious cleo
trlc impulses from the land informed
capt. Jorgensen that his beloved 49,
year-oid daughter at Braintree was
dangerously i'll. At the time and since
the wild Atlantic was sending its
mighty rollers against the lightship,
and 1t was impossible for the father
10 get away from it. Every day the
wireless messages came freighted with
glvomier tidings, until the announce
ment of the young girls death was
made. And still the captain could not
be taken from his floating but an
chored prison. The winds and the
waves ragged about the Ightship, and
no vessel could get near enough to take
him Off.
This is one Of the cases in which
wireless telegraphy was not blessing.
Many hours Of mental anguish would
have been averted had Capt. Jorgen-
sen not had intelligence daily from his
daughters deatbbed

GUTTA PERCHA FROM PEAT.
Discovery In Germany That May
Cheaper the Cost Of Great
Ocean Cables.

Advices from Germany are to the
effect that very satisfactory arti-
fetal gutta percha has been derived
from peat, and great things are eX-
Pected to result from the discovery
in cheapening the cost of insulating
ocean cables. Gutta percha is the
only substance thus far discovered
for protecting a wire against the
corrosive action Of salt water, and
the product is not only limited, but
is controlled by an English firm of
cable manufacturers, who cwn the
forests in the East Indies from which
the gutta percha is obtained.
Experiments to find a substitute
have been going on for years
throughout the world, but thus far
nothing has been entirely successful.
The price of gutta percha has been
advanced considerably by the de-
mands of the manufacturers of golf
balls, which has almost doubled the
cost of cable manufacture, says the
New York Times, and if this German
inventor is able to make an equally
good ipsulator out Of peat he will
make a very important contribution
TO the worlds economy, for peat can
be found in almost every country on
the globe in quantities almost unlim-
tied.

COAL IN NAVAL WARFARE.
che Fuel supply Is Great Factor
I'm the Success of Our
Warships.

The problem of naval success in war
is a problem of coal. a feet cannot OPP
crate with success if it must limit itself
to defensive operations with home
base; it must be ready to strike Of
fensiveiy in the spot where the stroke
will be the most effective, and TO do
this it must have access TO coal supply
at widely distributed points.
The report of Admiral Bradford,
chief Of the equipment bureau of the
navy, shows how we are progressing
toward a provision of sources Of coal
supply. The progress is slow, but
gain is being made. We are as yet
without proper equipment Of coaling
stations on our own coast; and while
we now have cOaling stations on Mex
lean and japanese territory, we have
none in Cuba, and none in the direction
Of Europe. In the Pacific and in Phil
ippine waters we shall soon be so well
equipped in this line that we shall not
be at a disadvantage in the far east.
An immense sum has properly been
spent in the last fiscal year to deposit
American coal at these widely scat
tered stations from Pichi'inque, Mex
leo, through Hawaii, Tutula and Guam
TO Japan and the Philippines. Another
war would not see our navy so nearly
Iyzea by coal famine. says the
Black Diamond, nor so dependent on
the friendly offices of another power,
