Niaht h ! Maroon station.

From Pearson's Magazine.
A night in the Marconi io1g distance
wireless telegraph station at South
Wellneet. on Cape Cod, is "A night spent
in q realm Of wonders. 1t is a night OF
mysterious sights and sound emanat-
ing from things that are little known,
from things that are in advance Of the
age.
Even the men who are employed
there. whose duty it is to receive and
transmit these wonderful, winged air
messages over vast stretches OF gray
sea, have never become accustomed to
the wonder, to the mystery of it all,
and the impression IN gets Of them at
their work is that OF a band of men
duly sensible OF the fact that they are
i'm close touch with perhaps the great
est discovery of all time.
The band Of wonder-workers at South
Weelheet numbers eight men. They are
the manager, Mr.. Paget; an assistant

a very able man, by the way, an assist
ant electrician; two operators from the
wireless telegraph school at Babylon, Il.

strangers not properly accredited do
not enter the Marconi preserves. For
there are rival wireless telegraph COM
panies, and Marconi has secrets that
some OF them would like to have.
It Is not a large place, this mysteri-
Gus operating room, where the operator
now begins his work of talking to YES
sells far at sea, and every inch OF
space Is utilized. There are mysterious
tanks OF oil, and sheets of zinc, and
strange appliances, and telegraph keys
and saunders, and the like, and the con-
crete floor is covered with rubber mats
which wind in n out among the APP
lparatus In ways as devious as those OF
Ia labyrinth.
Suddenly a little brazen bell clangs
out a warning that some vessel wishes
to talk. Far out al sea, in the dark
ness, a thousand or more miles away,
some man has pressed a key, a spark
has shot to the masthead wires, and
then another, and another-each spark
starting In shoreward flight, dots and
dashes which, being caught on the
overhead wires, nave been sucked down
into the operating room of the station,
changing the brazen bell In their course
and then flashing through various ap-
pliances designed to record them, In the
shape OF sound, on the telegraph instru-
ment.
The message is from the captain or
the Umbria, and strange IL seems to
hear. as IL were, a voice from the deep.
Even the operator has never got over
the novelty of this. Here is the mes
sage:
Report all well. High head seas.
Nasty tonight. Sighted a derelict in
mid-ocean. Spoke the Deutschland"
Then comes messages from the pas
sengers to friends and relatives ashore.
and the mental Impressions all this
arouses among the attaches of the sta
ton are ever the same, night after
night; their minds are carried far out
over the dark ocean, out into the invis-
ible beyond, and they picture the
great liner rolling her lonely way
among the gray-backed combers, the
cabin light flickering ftfully over the
waters, the officers on the bridge in
their oilskins, with eyes straining for
unseen dangers ahead.

The wnpoan and .h. s,,ltan

80 W. Nsh'% 49,
The story OF an interview that once took
place between Mrs. Reader and the sultan
Of Johore, India, is thus related by Juliet
Wi!bor Tompkins In her continuation OF
the Hlstory of ELLA Rawls Reader, Finan-
cier, !" in the October Everybody's:
"She named her conditions: the right to
issue five million dollars worth OF six per-
cent. bonds: one hundred and twenty thou
sand acres OF land extending along the
one hundred and twenty miles OF track;
tin mincs-but here royalty demurred q
little; he though he would keep all the
tin mines, For the first time the young
contractor slipped into feminine processes
Of reasoning and set aside for a moment
the urgent business-full enthusiasm Of the
promoter for the dismay OF the human girl
who secs her pet project in danger of fall
ure.
But you are so rich. you know you
don't need all those Mines she argued,
and we do!'
The sultan conceded the mines. From
am oriental point OF view the experience
was perhaps cheap at the price. He con-
coded the five million dollars worth of
bonds. the one hundred and twenty thou
sand acres of land. AT the end Of their
three hours talk Ella Rawls had in her
possession a tiyc~-million-dollar contract TO
build a railroad across the state of Johore,
and it's ruler had secured, on fair terms, "a
means TO wealth and civilization the need
Of which could no longer be ignored. She
had come to him at the psychological
moment, when the contract was ripe for
giving; she had shown herself clear-head-
cd and r~esolute, master OF the facts and
frankly open in her statements: she had
demanded much, knowing the value of
what she gave, but there had been no
sign OF sharpness, of trying to steal an
advantage. No doubt TO a man accus-
toned to be approached by indirect
methods, by gifts and batteries, there was
a wholesome CONTINGENCIES in this novel
experience, a welcome promise of good
faith. At all events, he accepted freely
and wholly.'

Started 10 His Fortune BY a Kitten.


Gathering from his practice an in
colne large enough to permit him TO
own an auto In which he goes TO the
homes OF his fashionable patients, q
young Boston doctor attributes all his
good fortune-after his own inherent
worth-to his kindness to a stray kit
ten. After he finished his term as an
inferno in a big hospital he put out
his single, but his neighbors did not
seem to appreciate his greatness and
his funds were getting low. One even
ing n kitten mewing plaintively and
evidently with o leg broken strayed in
to his Office, and after the kitten a
dirty faced urchin of 6, who begged
the doctor 10 help the suffering ami
NAL. 1t went against the grain Of the
rising light TO begin his professional
career on a cat. and he was about 10
refuse brusquely and turn the intrud-
ers out, but his heart got the bet
ter OF his pride and he did a neat
Job with splints and bandage. Just as
he finished his bell was rung and a
handsomely dressed woman came in.
She asked for the kitten. The boy,
she explained, was the son OF her cook
and was permitted TO play with the
pet. Through his carelessness the ac-
eident had occurred. The kitten, she
explained, her yes filling with tears,
had belonged to her little girl and was
the last thing at which the child had
smiled before she died. The upshot OF
the Bit of surgery vas that the woman
sang the young Doctors praises far and
wlde, and now he lis thinking of get
ting an assistant to help take car OF
his practice.

CARE OF
Heavy Loads on Narrow Tires D~estruc-
tive to Streets.


Asphalt Journal: Properly cared :or,
a good pavement should last for many
years, and the real economy in work CT
this character is to build nothing but
good, substantial pavementS at the
start, and then see to it that they are
protected from abuse and misuse. II is
becoming generally recognized that the
most attractive and satisfactory pave
ment for all ordinary purposeo is the
modern, up-to-date asphalt pavement,
some of which has already been laid in
this vicinity, with the prospect that an
other considerable stretch of it will be
completed during the present season.
The old theory that asphalt is not we'll
adapted for standing the Wear and tear
of heavy teams is gradually being dis
carded, and the claim is now accepted
that a good asphalt pavement, laid on a
substantial foundation, Will stand fully
as much strain as any other kind of
pavement. provided care is taken to in
sist on wide tires for heavy loads. It
is in accordance with this theory that
the city of Chicago is planning to pave
all of it's downtown streets with as
phalt, which is far more noiseless than
brick, block or cobblesIone.
1t is a fact that is we'll understood,
however, that the use of narrow tires
for heavy loads is terribly destructive
to any kind of street pavement, no less
than to the maintenance of good coun-
try roads, and there is a gem
eral tendency to require by law that all
wagons and other vehicles used in
transporting heavy loads shall be
equipped with tires of specified width.
A list of the leading cities OF the coun-
try shows that most Of them have or
dinances which require a minimum of
one inch to the ton for actual loads.
while in many OF them the specified
width Of tires is still greater. With
the growing use of asphalt
however, there is a general tendency
to require all wagons that are used to
convey ordinary loads to nave tires not
less than three inches in width, while
in the cases of extra heavy loads the
tires must be still wider. In this city
there Is an ordinance which requires
tires three inches in width for all loads
OF 5000 pounds or over, but this should
be supplemented by a further reauire-
ment that extra heavy loads, such as
ccal, stone, machinery. etc. should
a V tires -four or five inches wide. ac-
cording to the particular needs.
