new STEP MADE IN WIRELESS.
p. COOPER HEWITT HAS DEVISED
A SPARK.GAP SUBSTITUTE.

Solves the Electric-signalling Problem
and Puts the Marconi System on q
Commercial Basis. Prof. Pupin says
Simple and Inexpensive. Too.
In its current issue the Electrical Re-
riev describes a new apparatus invented
by Peter Cooper Hewitt. son Of the late
Abram s. Hewitt, which some Of those who
have examined 1t say will make a revolu-
tion in methods Of sending wireless tele-
graph messages.
The device consists Of a glass globe,
about ten inches in diameter, having two
tubes containing mercury sealed into the
bottom OF the vessel This apparatus
acts AZ a powerful and effective interrupter,
and takes the place Of the spark gap now
used in dscharging the condensers for
setting up electrical waves. II enables
powerful, rapid and continuous oscilla-
tions to be set up in the antenna. or sending
mast used in transmitting wireless mes
sages, and not only enables messages to be
sent over very great distances with ease,
but permits secrecy to be maintained, which
heretofore has been impossible.
The operation OF this device depends
upon two new phenomena in physics. which
have been discovered by Mr.. Hewitt In the
course of his researches. The first Is the
resistance Of the mercury In the apparatus
to a passage Of current until a high poten-
tial has been applied; the second is the
disappearance Of this resistance after
this high voltage has been reached. The
effect Of these two phenomena is to permit
a condenser to be charged to high poten-
tial. and then, by the disappearance of the
resistance Of the interrupter. to discharge
1t very rapidly. The result OF this action
is to set up violent and rapid current i'm
pulses in the circuit containing the con-
denser, and thence in the sending wire.
These current impulses. being very
powerful, will enable messages to be sent
to great distances, and as the number Of
oscillations per second can be controlled
this permits Of selective signalling. The
number of impulses per second can be
made very high-above 1 600 600 per second
II desired. the device is inexpensive, and
il is said that there is no appreciable de-
teriorat ion in it, 80 that it has long life.
DR.. NJ. /. Pupin. professor Of electro
mechanics at Columbia University and
widely known by his inventions in teie-
phonc transmission, il very enthusiastic
about The new device and considers il a
great contribution to wireless telegraphy
He is quoted as saying Of 1t:
THE Cooper Hewitt mercury vapor
interrupter at once establishes wireless
telegraphy on a commercial basis. The
problem Of selective signalling is solved
and transatlantic transmission will be
easy"

some time he went to the railroad
where he now is. On the re-organi-
cation after the purchase OF the road

chief engineer.

and have good positions. More men
are needed but they cannot be sup,

The engineering department is al,
most daily in receipt Of letters asking
for men for various engineering posi-
lions. These men cannot be furnish
ed at present but just as fast as the
men are ready they will step

les to start and steady promotion as

ST. VALENTINES DAY
ALMOST HERE.
February 14th is the Date-The Leg
end of the Beheaded Priest.

st. Valentines Day, the day to
which lovesiek maidens were want
to look forward with pleasant, fanci
full anticipations, at the time when
they would put to test the artful
devices of cupid, is almost here
again. 1t is an inexplicable enigma
why st. Valentine should have been
chosen as the patron saint OF lovers
who honor his pane by interchang-
ing amorous missiyes on February
Ia, the day on which he was behead-
ed in accordance with cruel decree
issued by the ruthless Emperor
CIudius 1000 years ago. Many de-
lightful fables have been written to
clear up this mystery.
1t is said that the tender hearted
priest fell into dlstavor with his Sc
cular lord by uniting ardent lovers
during year which Claudius, while
in fit of jealous passion, had COM
manded should witness no marriage.
1t is also limited that the good faith
err was sent to the block because he
so popular through his happy ad-
vice, to troubled victims OF the god
of love that the Emperor feared for
the answering LOYALTY of his people.
But although accounts are legen-
Diary, it is nevertheless asserted that
Valentinius vas friend of true low
ers and they regard him as martyr
who was offered up sacrifice for
love without having enjoyed loves
sweets. In Caaucer and Shake
speare's works there are references
which associate the day with the
mating of birds. When this idea
originated history does not relate,
but its significance is more in keep
ing with the manner in which the
day is commemorated A visit to
the leading stores will show that
the illustrated trayesties on the re-
lationship of friends and lovers are
rapidly accommodating in preparation
for February IA. The custom of
interchanging these burlesque to-
kens of good will or love il slowly
dying out, but it will be many a
year before the name of st. Valen-
tine has become matter OF mere
history

An Interesting Race Is On Among
FIints-It lis Desired That New
Building Shall Be Erected.

Interest among the glass men Of
the country 10 the probable location
of the Flints' headquarters, which by
vote, have been removed from Pitts
burg, is growing The towns after
the office are Wheeling, Columbus and
Indianapolis, and each will from now
forward hustle for it on lively scale.
The impression that it is to go TO
Wheeling through the action OF the
lodges in voting its removal from
Pittsburg is erroneous. Wheeling
wants it, but vote of the subordi-
nate lodges must be taken to decide
which city shall get it.
In speaking Of the situation, a
prominent glassworker said 1t was the
intention of the society to build its
own headquarters, and if Wheeling is
lucky enough to win out in the COM
Ing contest there is every probability
that building of suitable size and
appropriate appearance will be provid-
ed for presently.
The lodges are voting, or will soon
be asked to vote, on successor to
Vice President Rowe, who has been
promoted TO the presidency by the res
ignation of President Voitle. Nomi-
