the complex problems involved and overcome in its creation are considered
 In telephoning, the operator talks into the mouth piece exactly as with the wire telephone and listens for reply through head phone instead of a receiver. In order to get into com munication with a wireless telephone station, it becomes necessary to get the instrument to the known tune of the other station and then press the buzzer key which calls the person to the phone at the other end The conversation is then carried on as if the two opera tors were face to face.
 The mechanical principles upon which the radio wireless telephone depend are simple enough, although there is great difference of opinion upon the actual explanation of the phenomenon of wireless telephony. Speech is the forming of very rapid and ever-vary- ing series of vibrations in the air, and their measurement by the nerves of the ear. Owing to the resistance of the atmosphere, these vibrations grow weaker and at last disappear as we get further from the source of distur- bance. Telephony is the art of trans lating these vibrations into vibrations of ether whose lesser resistance enables them to be carried to greater distances for the translation into air vibrations again, as only the air vibrations can be measured by the ear. In the wire less telephone the air waves are trans lated into vibrations of an electrical discharge which oscillates the ether.
 The ether waves, sent out by the transmitting station, having been modified by the human voice are changed back at the receiving station into such form as to effect the re. ceiver and cause the exact air vibra- tions which were made to modulate the transmitting current, and therefore, the words of the speaker are heard exactly as spoken
 Dr. De Forest bases his claims for success on his past experiments with the wireless telephone at the sugges- tion of Admiral Evans, who conducted the experiments on board his flagship, the Connecticut. and another vessel.
 Every battleship, cruiser and torpe- do boat of the great Pacific fleet was equipped with radio wireless tele- phones before setting out on the memo rable cruise. These instruments were given a thorough trial in inter ship communication and in communication with several wireless stations on the Pacific coast.
 In the meantime the young inventor has not been content to rest on the laurels obtained from his succeful work in the navy and has carried on many experiments, both at home and abroad.
 In May, 1908, from the Eiffel tower, wireless messages were sent by the radio telephones to every wireless sta tion in France A warship of Mar seilles, nearly 600 miles away, heardthe transmitted messages just as distinctly as did the stations near Paris. While doing this Dr. De Forest had equipped several of the vessels of the Italian navy and the instruments met with such decided success that an arrange ment has been practically concluded for the luipment of the entire navy.
 Mrs. De Forest is quite as interest ing as her inventor husband. She graduated from Cornell university ill the difficult science of civil engineer ing. She was the first and only wo- man to graduate from an Eastern col lege in this profession. After her graduation honors were haaped upon her until she stood before the world as its foremost woman hydraulic en- gineer, and most remarkable example of woman's intellectual equality with mau.
 She was the first woman ever elect ed to membership in the American Society of Civil Engineers. She help ed to build the greatest waterworks system in the worlds history, being on the engineering staff charged with the building of the sl61, 000,00 Cat skill systems. In June, 1907, she was elected Fellow of Cornell university, an honor rarely conferred upon women.
 While at Cornell she proved herself to be the peer of any of the male ath- letes. She is leader of the equal rights movement and the various movements designed to improve the social condition of all women. And now she further distinguishes herself by being the first woman to engage in
