wireless" in War Time.

Barely ten years have elapsed since
Marconi-than a young fellow of 22-

which ray hidden in the discoveries of
Hertz, went to England to patent his
system of wireless telegraphy, and al
ready the transmission of aerial mes
sages has become part and parcel of

conference, convoked by Germany, has
been sitting in Berlin. the chief point
at issue being the question of the
monopoly of the Marconi company in
Great Britain. Germany demands an
international convention compelling
intercommunication between wire
less telegraph stations of all systems,
while Great Britain, who In the Mar
conf system possesses a great ad
vantage, naturally does not wish to
forego 1t merely TO oblige rival
power.
The use of wireless telegraphy In
wartime was recognized long ago, and
as far back as 1898 experiments were
made by the French army in trans
hitting wireless messages by means
of captive balloons to which were at
tached vertical conductors from 100
to 500 feet In length. These attempts
proved moderately successful. mes
sages being sent about four miles.
About the same time the AustrIans
managed to send messages nearly
double the distance, and In the Ger
man army signals we're transmitted
more than 25 miles by the same
meMod. The first occasion when the
wireless system was put to practi-
cal test In the field. however, was last
year in the Herrero campaign, when
the Germans shipped number of APP
paratus to southwest Africa, and
found them exceedingly useful In their
operations against the natives. In
warships, of course, wireless tele-
graphy was adopted from the very
start, and as early as 1900 the British
admiralty entered into a contract for
the installation of the Marconi appa-
ratus in 26 of his majesty's ships, as
well as at six coast stations. Within a
few years practically every navy In
the world was experimenting with the
transmission of aerial messages.

ployed by the Japanese during the late
war was the invention OF one of their
countrymen. DIR. Kimura, who attend

other mixture is of marshmallows.
For this the following recipe may be
used:
One-fourth cake of unsweetened
chocolate. two cups of graduated
sugar, one cup of milk, one teaspoon.
full of butter. Boil for five minutes.
then take from the fire and pour in
a heaping saucerful of marshmallowlI
torn in small bits. Beat until the
mixture begins to stiffen, then pour
quickly into buttered tins to cool.
Another way is to sprinkle the shred
ded marshmallow on the bottom OF
the pan, and pour the hot fudge over
It, This Is convenient when both the
marshmallow, nut, and the plain varie-

broke out with Russia the Japanese
government had conducted the most
searching Investigations into the diff.
ferent systems, and after series OF
tests carried out with temporary bal
loon stations 100 miles apart, DR..
Kimura's system was found to be the
most successful, and was accordingly
adopted. In the course of his expert
ments, DIR. Kimura hit upon a method
of sending wireless telephone mes
sages, which has also been recently
adopted by the Japanese navy. Both
inventions are government secrets,
jealousy guarded by the Japanese
navy department In the Russo-Jap-
anese war Admiral Togo made good
use of the invention, both while di-
recting from "a certain place" the
blockade of Port Arthur and, later,
when he met and demolished the Rus
sian Armada in the battle of the sea
of Japan.
The completeness of the Japanese
victory In the battle of the sea of
Japan may certainly be ascribed to
wireless telegraphy. During the foggy
weather Japanese cruiser, while
searching for the Russians, suddenly
found herself In the midst of the
enemy's feet. A wireless message
giving notice of the discovery was
simultaneously received by all the
Japanese warships. though some were

enemy and to strike home at the most
favorable moment. Strangely enough,
though the Russian vessels were
equipped with the latest and most
efficient wireless outfits, they made
no attempt to interfere with the Jap.

Doubtless in the next war wireless
telegraphy will play a more important
role than ever-at least the Germans

BOY WAS SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Had Wrong Idea of the Sound TO %
Removed.

Deacon Allen Sheldon, who recently
passed away. was universally respect
ed by all who knew him, and his
stories were listened to with much de-
light, says writer In the Boston
Herald. He used to tell the following
with great deal of interest:
When a very small boy he asked his
father to let him go with him to the
town meeting. He went, with the
promise that when he returned he
would tell the folks what happened.
In those days the church was sup
ported by tax ON every property
holder. Whatever Of interest came up
for the church had to be voted on at
the town meeting.
The pastor being feeble and his
voice not strong, an article in the
town warrant called for the removal
of the sounding board from over the
pastors head, since it acted as an ex-
tinguisher, and not as originally
planned. When Allen returned he
told his mother about the sounding
board, and said:
"Mr. Flagg got up and said. In his
squeaky voice: Mr.. Moderator.

sound from under the board"
