the attempts to steer the waves made by
Artone in Italy have given no practical
result. Along these lines there has been
practically no progress at all. The use
Of detectors enabling the operator to read

new stations on land, especially in Eu-

A review OF 'Telegraphy, Telephony and

10 La Nature by Lucien Fourier, who
dismisses the first two subjects with few
words and devotes himself chiefly to the
last. His review leaves the reader with
the impression that the technic of wireless
is not advancing greatly, although the field
of It's application Is extending widely. Says

Valparaiso the Valley OF Paradise"
may with greater propriety be called the
valley OF earthquakes and calamities. In
1880 occurred the first great recorded dis
turbance of the earth on which the city
stands The whole city was practically
destroyed. In 1922 Valparaiso was again
badly shaken, though the earthquake OF
that year displayed it's greatest energy
100 miles north of that city. The coast
was found to have risen in consequence OF
the disturbance from three to FIVE feet for a
distance OF at least thirty-nve miles. In
1885 Conception underwent a similar ex-
perience. The land in its vicinity had
been raised by a severe shock between
four and FIVE feet In 1887 valdlvia was
destroyed and the coast In the neighbor-
hood raised from five to eight feet. How
ever, Il is Caracas that Is known as the
City OF Earthquakes" and Il is situated
among the mountains Of one of the spurs
Of the Andean system.
The year 1880 witnessed the first great
earthquake that shook Valparaiso Prac-
tically the whole town was destroyed in
this CONFUSION, and only after many years
OF slow progress did it recover In 1872 a
second earthquake came to shake down
what had been rebuilt. In this catastrophe
many lost their lives. A great fire swept
the city in 1s43, destroying 100000 worth
OF property. Hardly had the fortunes OF
the community begun TO mend when a
second fire licked up Ave times as much
wealth as had the FIRST. This was In 1865
When the Spanish made the last futile
attempt to destroy the republic OF Chile,
In 1866. they sent feet into the harbor
Of Valparaiso, and the town was merci-
lessly bombarded. What with the dam
ages wrought with the shells and the fire
that followed 100000 was the loss
counted UP. The last great disaster pre-
oedng the one which the Chilean city has
Just suffered came in 1885, when a large
dam back OF the city burst and a portion
OF the business district was washed away,
with great loss OF life.

floating docks, capable of accommodating
ships OF 1000 tons burden.
In tho center of the port district stands

massive buildings constructed on the char
