fought as bitterly as they are being
strongly advocated. The Cedar Rapids

be impossible for a boat even with
comparatively small plant and short
height of wire to get beyond the infiu-
ence of one OF their wireless telegraph
stations.
At White Fish Point, Lake Superior,
the De Forest company has been urged to
establish a station for connecting with
the 500, inasmuch as boats are frequent
ly driven there for refuge, and lay some
times for days with no means Of commu-
nicating their whereabouts to their
owners.
On passenger boats the wireless system
can be made a great feature, and the
public will very shortly learn to take ad-
vantage of these Geographic facilities and
to demand them.

pledged by Hungarian violinist. The
following inscription is discernible inside
the instrument: Joseph Guarnerius fecit
Cremonae. Ammo 1742. 1. II. s.
