The Wonderful Wireless

The story that the steamship Deutch-
land brought to New York last week of
her voyage was filled with interest.
While bowling along, suddenly out of
the air came wireless from the Ham
burg, hundred miles southeast of her
on the way to the Mediterranean, an
nouncing that she was receiving the
buffetings of West India cyclone, and
to look out, for the storm was swirling
at a speed of 80 knots and would soon
overtake the west bound ship.
A moment later came another warn
ing from the Lusitania from the east
that the big ship was fighting the
mightiest storm that had ever struck
her, and a little later a third message
came from the Majestic that she, too,
was under the lashings of the same
storm-a storm so fierce and steady
that it blew the crests of the waves
down and prevented the angered ocean
from piling up its furious seas. And
the shrewd mariner who commanded
the Deutchland, putting the three mes
sages together, rightly concluded that
the course of the cyclone would strike
his ship astern or off his beam aft, and
held his ship on her way at full speed,
though when the gale struck him it
ripped the tarpaulins from the boats
and roared around the ship with fury
indescribable.
Men at sea have fought cyclones for
years, have learned their habits and
know what to do when they come. The
marvellous thing was that out through
the fury of the storm the wireless could
carry from three ships warnings to a
fourth to look out, that the monster
was making for the fourth ship at the
rate of eighty miles an hour, and would
soon be upon her. And the storm
could not turn the messages aside.
Over the rage and the roar they shot
with the swiftness of light and with the
precision of a planet in its orbit. 1t
would have been the same had il been
battle instead of storm at sea.
1t would have summoned other ships
to come, or given notice to the men
on shore that battle was on. 1t is the
marvel of marvels; it exalts poor human
nature to contemplate the truth that
man has caused such Genii to enter
his service and to obey his sovereign
will. Since the world began men have
sought for signs to prove that his life
is not all, that it is not all of life to
live here.
We have an impression that through
the wireless the answer to that longing
will finally be given. The stars are but
ships sailing through the abyss Of space.
One of these days one of them will
cast off message that will find its way
to our darkened planet, and it will not
tell of storms that are on the march,
but rather how, under soft skies, in
everlasting sunshine, the mighty craft
is sweeping joyously on its luminous
way.-Goodwin' Weekly.
