| DISAPPEARED A MAID,
REAPPEkRS A MATR0N
Mrs. Laura Olivia Birmingham-Nel-
son Does Not Account for Thir-
teen Intervening Years.

BALTIMORE Jan. 16.-MaTshal Far
nan yesterday received a letter from
Mrs Laura Olivia Birmingham-Ne!so
Of New Orleans. in which she says that
she is the Laura Olivia Birmingham who
disappee~ from her home n Cincin-
natl on .anuary l, 1890. and for whom
her parents and relatives in various
parts Of the country have been search
ing
Recently the marshal received a com
munication from S. B Draper, Of Gin
cinnatf, an uncle OF the missing woman,
conveying the information that a clair
voyant had told him Miss Birmingham
was in Baltimore and requesting the
local authorities to locate her here An
extract OF the letter was published IN
Baltimore papers at the time, and
among those who read it was James Z.
Birmingham. an uncle OF Miss Birning-
ham, who lives at $50 Columbia Avenue.
Mr. Birmingham called on the marshal
and said that If his niece were here he
was determined to find her Nothing
further was learned Of the whereabouts
OF Miss Birmingham or Mrs. r5elson
until the receipt Of the letter from New
Orleans signed Laura Olivia Birming-
ham Nelson, saying she was the person
sought.
Appended to the letter was a post
script saying she left home January /,
1890.
From the above communication it is
evident that Miss Birmingham is mar
ried, and, although her disappearance
has ever been a mystery TO her relatives
and the public, she makes no reference
10 the circumstances under ahich she
left Cincinnati.
Foul play was long the theory Of her
disappearance.

De FOREST TELLS OF
HIS WIRELESS METHOD
System DisCards Marconi and
FeSsenden Methods.

Dr. Lee De Forest. the inventor Of the
wireless system of teIegraphy which
bears his name, is a young man. Of
slender build. he fmpresses one as hav-
ing worked harder than his constitution
permitted. Possessed of an appearance
indicating great perseverance. he also
shows he is a devotee of that new life
the strenuous He is possibly thirty
five years of age
While working about his instruments
last night, DR.. De Forest told more Of his
discovery to a reporter for The Times.
He said.
Practically all systems, except mine.
use the induction coil for sending. and
as receiver the old BranIey coherer
tube, with the tapping OF decohering de-
vice introduced by Popon, and improved
by Marconi OF Tissot. The disadvantag-
eous features entaiIed by the use of the
cohereT are: The necessity of a mechani-
cal decohering device; the complication
of apparatus involvedi its uncertainty Of
action, and, most important of all, the
time lag by reason of which the speed
of word transmission is limited to the
capacity OF these receiving instruments,
and on account of which great care must
be observed by the sending operator not
to exceed in speed the ability Of the re
ceiving instrument TO record his mes
sages. Fifteen words per minute is the
maximum speed Of the coherer systems.
With ne advent of the De Forest
/ Smythe responder the receiving de-
vice of the De Forest system. and The
most important elemert in space sig
mailing, this condition assumes a differ
I ent aspect, inasmuch as the responder
is absolutely automatic in its action, OBJ
waiting the necessity Of coherers. deco
/ herers, and induction coils.
In word, the De Forest system mo-
nopolizes completely and absolutely the
anti-coherer principle. which, we be
Ieve, is the key to the future CONNER
cfaI success of wireless teIegraphy
throughout the world. Under ordinary
| conditions a speed OF forty words per
minute can be easily maintained. as
against a maximum speed of fifteen
words per minute by any other known
/ system.
! The wireless telegraph systems were
used in the naval maneuyers Of 1902
THE stations of both the Marconf and
Fessenden systems on the scout boat
Unique were practically imperative
from the start, and the entire burden oil
the three fell to the De Forest system
which system, though handicapped by in
sufficient equipment, as well as by the
adverse conditions prevalent in warfare
performed its work in successful man

Would-be Naval Officer Too Large
About the Girth.

Despite the handicap of his unusual
girth, Dr.. A. Il. simonton. born in
Maine, but now residing in Alabama. is
petitioning the Navy Department for 6
second hearing upon his application TO
become an acting assistant surgeon in
the Navy His original z%.7lieatlon was
accompanied by papers showing that 40
had a remarkably good record as an
army surgeon.
Dr.. Simonton was examined by the med
fcaI board. which was obliged TO reject
him, because. as reported. ne was too big
to get through the hatches Of a torpe-
do boat. and could only navigate with
difficulty in the corridors and state
rooms OF the average battIeship. Other
wise he was considered a valuable ac-
QUESTION to the service
Although not quite six feet tall he
weighs more than 300 pounds.
