Romance<of Wireless.

the Navy Department Is about to make
a reality.
Wireless doesn't travel well over land
a. present No one knows just why 1t
won't. But IT won't. The radius OF
sending tower doesn't seem TO depend
on its height. Neither does II depend
on the length of the electric spark.
It may depend largely on the frequency
of the spark. Scientists themselves are
much in the dark about these things.
But they do know how TO Increase the
radius by having high towers, powerful
electrical machines. and perfect. rapid
spark breakers. Results are the object
of the Navy Department. It Is willing
TO study the reason why afteTWard.

VIGOROUS WAR ON CHOLERA
Manila Authorities Hope to Prevent
Spread Of Disease.

Manila, Sept. 2s.-The vigorous
campaign for the eradication of chol-
era is believed to be preventing any
eppreciable increase in the spread Of
the disease There is an average Of
about fifty new cases daily. In official
circles 1t is maintained that there is
still possibility that the city may be
ridded of the cholera before the ar
rival of the American battleship fleet.
Governor General Smith stated that
while the time intervening was short
he still had considerable hopes that
Manila will be clean when the fleet
comes.
The campaign instituted by the au-
thorities against the plague proceeds
with increasing vigor. Although the
Filipinos continue to conceal stricken
patients through ignorance and fear
a house to house inspection now in
progress is disclosing practically all
the cases. Four chemical engines and
a dozen big street sprinklers are be-
ing used with good effect in general
