OF having our messages read by outsiders
do not understand the subject. -.
when I was in England I offered to
pay large sum Of money to anyone who
could pick up one Of our wireless mes
sages after notifying me that 1t was to be
attempted, and I even offered to lend ap-
paratus to anyone who desired to try the
experiment. No one took up my offer.
But even If it were possible to read our
signals-and do not admit it is a con-
tingenoy to be feared-it would be the
simplest matter In the world to use a con-
stantly changing secret code between our
stations. -.
Cheap Messages Not Secret.
Gwen II secrecy were actually impos-
sible, there are thousands of messages to
be sent by cheap system Of telegraphy
which are not necessarily secret in their
nature. If it were not SO, postal cards
would not be used so extensively. If a
man in New York wants to send a sailing
date or birthday message or any other
such communication to man In London
what does he care whether his message
Is read by an outside operator or not?
Remember that it only costs us $780,
900 to establish a wireless transatlantic
system and that our rates can be made
cheap enough to attract an immense vol
ume Of Geographic business which is pro.
hibited now by the high cable rates. I'm

The SIZE OF ALASKA AS COMPARED WITH UNITED STATES

Tho Popular Science Monthly prints a
map which is reproduced here, giving
an object. lesson Of the great size of the
Alaskan territory Of which the general
public know comparatively little, although
the :Klondike gold discoveries have been
the means Of calling attention to the i'm
portance Of this great northern posses
sion. b The size of the: country is general
ly under estimated because Of its great
distance from the United States and the
immense difficulties :. attending inland
travel. The article accompanying the
map is from the pen of George B. Hollis
ter of the United States geological sur
vey. In 1t he says: r. Y.-:. g.. 49,.
when it is said that Alaska has one
fifth the area Of the whole United States,
one begins to have more intelligent con-
ception OF its size, for in a general way
the average American readily forms a
fairly accurate mental picture Of the
broad size relations Of his country. But
50 great is the extent Of the United
States and so difficult is it to Judge ac-
curately Of the relations Of geographical
measurements, that even this is not a sat
isfactory comparison. For this reason
our practical knowledge would not be
much benefited were 1t stated that the
area Of Alaska is equal to that Of three
and one-quarter CALIFORNIA;, or ten Iowas,
or one hundred and twentyseven and
one.half tConnecticuts. But If it were
possible to AXE the whole territory of
Alaska and its adjoining islands and place

The lingering glory Of sunset gone.

With every doubt and mystery dispelled.

Hope wakes again, and faith that cannot falter,

them upon the portion of North America
occupied by the United States, it would
be simple thing to show exactly yhat
the relations Of these great possessions
to- our own country are. Just this, in
effect, has been done, as the accompany

prepared by Alfred H. Brooks, geologist
of the United; States geological survey, in
charge of the. government work of ex-
ploration and geological investigation OF
the territory, who has drawn upon the
map Of the United States an outline of
Alaska. The scale used in both instances
is the same, and the result is most in

eminent must send ordinary messages
across the Atlantic at not more than 10
cents word and government and press
messages at not more than cents a word.
Less Expensive Than Cable.
TN time the rate will probably be low
cred SO that it will be no more costly to
send a message from New York to Lon
don than it now is to send the same
message from New York to Philadelphia.
1t is easy to see that under such cir
cumstanoes thousands and thousands of
nonsecret messages will pass between Eu
rope and America. :.
But we can guarantee secrecy. It must
not be forgotten that since we have been
sending messages across the ocean from
Glace Bay to Poldhu, neither our wireless
stations at Penzance and Nantucket nor
the twenty-one ships with wireless appa-
ratus plying the Atlantic, have been dis
turbed by these messages. .7:~-
Blind Signals Unlmportant.
1.-THE truth is that when an operator of
tho wireless telegraph apparatus receives
some blind signal due to a mere elemental
disturbance, he is apt to conclude that he
has received part of a. secret code from a
Marconi station. There. is nothing in this
talk about outside stations reading our
messages. - --.. .gs.v 1T
During my experimental work / have
used untuned apparatus a good deal OF
the time and 1t is possible that messages
sent in, that way, without the slightest
attempt or desire to make them secret,
have been picked up outside. That was
in nearby work on the outside. But nc
trans Atlantic messages sent from Glaze
Bay have been picked up - -
Earth Currents No Hindrance.
But how about telegraphing over land:
Are there no earth currents in the way
no complications due to the existing sys-
tenn Of wire telegraphy?' =
1T Is as easy to telegraph without wires
over land as over sea. II send wire
less messages from New York to Sar
Francisco as, easily ais from Glace Bay tc
Poldhu."
