ton, it is estimated, will easily span a
distance of 5000 miles. This will pro
vide means for the direction of feet
in the Mediterranean by and admiral
sitting in his Office at Washington.
The airship of the future, like trains,
vessels of the sea, the automobile, will
be propelled by electrical energy trans
mitted without the use of wires.
The electrical city of the future will
be most enjoyable place in which to
live. No longer will we have the an
noyance of smoke and SCOT from factO.
ries and coal burning locomotives, or
from the numerous iron smokestacks
which rise above the roofs of the mod
ern apartment houses and office build
ings, since electricity will undoubtedly
be used altogether for keeping us warm
in the winter and cool in the summer.
Our homes will be protected from un-
desirables by new electric burglar
alarm which will not only announce
the intruder, but will take his photo
graph as well, to be handed down to
future generations-or at least to the
police commissioner.
The marvellous strides in the electri-
fication of all the world may result in
cities beneath cities. Even as we now
have drug stores, cafes, department
stores, news stands with subterranean
entrances from subway stations, so
within another fifty years there is like
ly to grow a second New York under
grOuud.

How Water is Moved Along.


The mechanism of this device con-
sists of series of duplex screws within
cylinder so arranged as to pass on a
column of water from one unit to an
other without slip. These screws are
made to spin at tremendous speed, up
to 10000 revolutions minute in the
smaller sizes. Roller bearings are used
at ali points of contact, thus reducing
friction to minimum.
Now, the most wonderful part of it
all. The electrical energy for these va
rious uses will be transmitted without
wires.
Wires for the transmission of tele-
graphic and telephone messages will
be no more. The city of the future
will know no such thing as the un-
slightly overhead cable or the expensive
stringing of wires in underground con-
duitS.
Wireless will also make it unneces-
sary for you to go to the opera. The
opera will come to you. This has been
made possible by the wireless telephone
with magaphone attachment, which
may be placed in your library, drawing
room or music room.
1t is simple enough, so simple in fact
that the "angel child will be turning
on the receiving switch while mother
is out of the room and pulling the in
strument from the wall in a rage be-
cause Caruso insists on singing "Donna
e Mobile instead of "Yankee Doodle. y
Seriously, DR.. Lee de Forest believes
that the time is not far distant when
all humanity may partake of the now
expensive grand opera-not mechan-
ical version, as in the case of the phon-
ograph, but the real thing-transmitted
into your home even more clearly and
distinctly than you can now hear the
spoken words of friend thorough the
telephone.
IT will not be necessary to put the
receiver to your ear in order to hear the
voices of the singers on the stage of the
Metropolitan or Manhattan or some
other opera house. A large wireless
transmitter hung above the stage will
flash out over the Hertzian waves and
into the receiver in your home and
many other homes every perfect note
of the artists and every score of the or.
chestra. On your receiver will be an
attachment which will cause the room
in which you sit to be filled with the
music in all its volume, and you will
hear each note just as distinctly as il
you occupied a box in the front row Of

for sun generators will literally store
the suns rays by day for use by night,
The invention of the tungsten lamp
will make this idea of universal light
ing an actuality. The economical fea-
lures of this lamp have revolutionized
electric lighting, just as the new means
of generating electricity will revolu-
tionize the cost feature.
The automobiles which will traverse
the streets of the future electrical city
will be driven altogether by electricity,
for the machine will generate its own
power by means of sun generator at
tachment. And the electric truck will
soon be provided with a means of load
ing and unloading by electricity.
Going beyond the electrical city and
viewing the electrical world of the fu-
ture we see the desert wastes of all
lands transformed into tiowery gardens
and prosperous cities rise where once
there had been only desolation.
The practical means for accomplish
ing this has been provided by an invent
or who, after quarter of century Of
experimenting, has evolved a pump,
operating by electricity, which will
furnish to the most arid districts all
the water desired.
This pump, with a two-inch bore,
weighing only twelve pounds, will
bring out of a well or any other body
of water 240 gallons a minute, or one
third of million gallons a day, so its
inventor declares.

Nerve and the

A prominent writer says: You will need all your assurance the first time ycn walk out ln your new gown" She means you will have to know you arc Absolutsly 1t. or you will not be able to wear 1t with satisfaction. If you are too fat this assurance will be lack ing, for If the directoire reveals any thing 1t reveals fat Consequently stout ladies are In duty bound. out of respect to their own peace of mind, to reduce--and reduce auickiy--for time
 Exercising and dieting being out of the question as too tiresomeiy long winded and not desirable anyway as a sure means of reduction the question arises. how shall any except very slim ladies 1t themselves to wear the new mode with the necessary assurance. The answer Is Marmoia-1-2 ounce, no more, no less. mixed with 1-2 ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and 2 1-2 ounces Peppermint Water; all of which any druggist will supply for a
 This pleasant mixture helps nature to take off fat quickly, many losing a pound day, and yet owing to the do- mestic character of its ingredients, It can do no harm. Take q teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime and test for yourself the truth of tine state- ment that with Marmola alone one can reduce any time as much or little as desired without fear of causing either . wrinkles or stomach trouble. It pro- vides the means whereby you can train down to the mode without interfer- snce to your diet or your habits

IN POLICE COURT

Gus Ware Is short and yellow and very bold. When he gets mad he cuts people, but says he only cuts the heel when 1t Is his intention to kill Mary Baysmore. also colored. knows all about Gus. for they have been "keepin' company"
 Gus came home from work one night some three months ago, brushed his face and hands, washed his hair, and sticking a piece of bone comb in his bangs, surveyed the coon idea of even- Ing dress he presented to himself in the mirror. with beaming eyes. Not satisfied with the ravishing tout en- semole, he took towel with red fringe and rolling 1t wrapped it around his neck and let the loose ends hang. The toilette was complete.
 Gus stuck his razor in handy pocket picked up his guitar and wandered to- ward the home of the fair Mary His heart was on fire with passionate love he intended to pour out. and as he swung along the sidewalk he would caress the strings of the guitar in quaint little melodies handed down to him through generations of stygian ancestry. He neared the home of his 'iady love" and abruptly the little purring notes from the guitar ceased. Tn a crescendo of hilarity. a rattling, shattering love song sang from another B0Ah1A tAVhA hOuoc. Nruo uutct- ly cursed his own instrument. con- cealed it behind the fence. and whet- ting the razor on his palm. waited. After a while the door of the house opened, a shadow was silhouetted on the light that streamed from within and Gus sprang. -
 The story of the nearly severed hand he achieved Is on the early fall records of the police docket. Sufice to say Gus did his time for assault and came from de fahm'' a more healthy but far more subdued person. Gus wanted the clothes he had left in the care of Mary and asked her for them. Mary tossed up her head. That was a month ago, and Gus fumed In soiled raiment and silence. He crept under the house where Mary worked the next evening in order to surprise her pleas- antly and mayhap secure his garments when she came out but Mary happen cd to catch sight of the ponderous trilbys of Gus and "unbeknownst" to him phoned for the police.
 Again Gus did time and again got out of jail, and again he sought the damsel for his best bib and tucker. But he changes his plan of action :. With him when he went for the gar ments was police officer, and Mary was caught off guard. Gus had quiet ly sworn out a warrant charging Mary with the theft of his ''close,' and now, this evening, Mary will tell what she did with them if Judge Baber asks her.
