HERE IS TREE TELEGR4PHI!
Major squier OF the Army Finds a New
Method or Wireless Communication.


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. AFTER months Of
careful experiment Major George o. Squier
Of the United States Signal Corps has die
covered that trees may be used to catch
wireless telegraph messages and to convey
them to an observer standing on the ground.
He has found that trees may serve the
purpose OF Marooni's metal feelers or
antenne as they are called, and that tree
trunks, while serving as mests or towers,
also serve as wires to bring eleotro-mag-
netic currents to earth.
The healthier the tree the better 1t serves
as conductor For highly oscillahng
currents the leaves OF trees or Of plants
behave precisely as If they we're made OF
metal and they will transmit these oscilla-
tons from the ground surrounding them
through their leaves At Fort Mason
Major Squier attached his telegnphic
apparatus to trees and communicated with
the wireless station on Alcatraz Island,
about two miles distant. He also COM
municated in this way between Goat and
Alcatraz islands, a distance Of three miles
and d half.

CORNER IN ARM0R PLATEr
Belief In Pittsburg That the Mld'ale Com"
pany Has Been Let In.


PIrrssuRo Jan. LIN local circles and
steel circles. where the closest OF touch
il kept on the Rrmor plate situation, il
is said to-day that Charles NJ Schwab
has once more made a master move in
cementing friendship among the different
armor plate concerns. and there will DO
no friction after. no expose Of high price
when the Naval Committee opens the bids
TO award the contract for the New Hamp-
shire and armored cruisers on Jan. -.
There have come from the Fast rumors
that Mr. Schwab has been called on by the
Midvale Iron Company OF Philadelphia, a
concern which seemed about 10 make
trouble for high priced armor concerns.
and that general understanding has
been reached whereby the Philadelphia
concern will get bit OF the big contract
with the Carnegie Steel Company and the
Bethlehem company.
These three concerns are the only ones
now making srmor. and n the agreement
has been reached as reported, il means an
important corner in armor plate. This
would not be the first corner as for years
the Carnegie and the Bethlehem people
have controlled the output, but II simply
lets into the circle a third party, making the
agreement three sided instead OF two
aiGed.
R1mors about the late test OF Mldvale
arrnor at Indian Head first started the
iron people Of Pttsburg guessing and there
has been figuring since. II Is not believed
that the Aidvaie people used the Chase
Cans patent in making the plate for test,
as was given out. Those who saw the plate
at Indian Head are firm In the belief that
il was made under the krupp patent. which
il controlled In America by the Carnegie
and the Bethlehem people,
How did the Midvale people secure the
right TO use this' BY no other way was
such thing possible, il is aid. save that the
big fellows now controlling the armor
oiItput let them in on the krupp process.
This being the case II is assumed that in
