tances; others are not. That depends on their plant
Every ship has its code signal-the Baltic is BIC, the
Lucania is LA, the New York is NIX, the Minneapolis is
MS, the Caronia is CA. Each wireless station has It's
code number, too. This. station at South Well1eet is
&C; Siasconset on Nantucket island is sc.
when we get the danger signal from a ship we drop
all commercial business and press dispatches and start
to find the ships within our radius. We know from
the chart just which they are and where they are.
1.-THE particular moment when Operator Irwin got the
news from the Republic that the ship was rammed by an
unknown steamer, Mr., Irwin came over and woke me up.
1t happened to be his %eighthour trick at Siasconset, be-
cause there we worked in %eight-hour watches. ! knew
it was up to me to get help. | looked over the regular
chart and found the steamers that were within touch
with us.
"Binns kept sending us his wireless messages with the
information that his juice was giving out and that 1t
wouldn't last much longer. BY aid of the submarine bell
on Nantucket Shoals lightship his captain could tell the
ships latitude and longitude in the fog. This information
he sent to us.
I'VE found that the Baltic was closest to us. We kept
sending out B G till we got her answer. Then we told
them the story. Then we tackled the Lucania, and got
her with the same news. Next the New York, and then
the Minneapolis, tuning our instruments to catch each
one. We even reached the Caronia, which was too far
away to be of any service.
"But that's an old story. Wireless Is very simple
the simplicity of the thing is wonderful. If we have
trouble we can find it out right here. On a telegraph
line they have to employ a big force of linemen, and
when anything happens they have to go out to see what's
the matter, and even then they can't tell just where
it is"
And just then came a business message from a man in
Chicago to another man on La Provence, nearly 1900
miles away. 1t had been sent to New York, from thence
another operator had hustled it along to Boston, and
from Boston it had been sent out to Cape Cod, 1903 miles
away.
La Provence was in midocean, but across the line
which divides the European stations from the American
stations.
And off went the message with its thunderstorm Of
dots and dashes to that lonely ship far out on the Allan
tic, while engines ground and the dynamos sizzled with
enough power to kill a man.
Lightning again!" laughed Gilman. as he sent the
last dot.

ICES him with the chemistry OF all known explosives
He has to study the manufacture of all the explosives
from the cheap black powder right up to the terrible
nitroceuulose powders, such as the British lydd1te, the
French melinite, the German "88," the ltallan pertlte, the
Australian ecrasite and the Japanese shimose. He must
also know, if he gets his diploma, everything ABOUT a
proiectile, how much powder it takes to shoot different
proiectiles different distances, how to manufacture them,
and all about the effect of humidity on the speed OF a
proiectile, how to handle powders of all kinds, how to
preserve them, how to prevent explosive accidents, how
to tell when there is danger in time to prevent the accl-
dent, and how to keep powder years and years without
the composition losing power.
In defense and offense the instruction is just as thor.
ough, problems that are supposed to represent war con-
ditions being given the students from time to time to
work out, these problems being intended to familiarize
them with their duties in all possible situations in time
of war. There will be nothing about great guns that
they won't be given a chance to learn, and this instruc-
ton will render them capable Of caring for these great
engines of war so that they will always be ready for
instant service night or day. In range finding, elevation
of rifles, in armor attack, how to ventlate magazines,
everything imaginable about the use Of the barometer
and thermometer in these magazines, and the manufac-
ture and construction of every device connected with
modern coast artillery armament, the instruction is just
as thorough as it can be made.
In the department of electricity and mine defense the
instruction in the use of the searchlight in defensive
and offensive work from the shore is one of the most
important subjects in this department, for than the
searehlight there is no greater adjunct to the night work
Of the coast artillery corps of the present time. The
officer must know everything about the telephone, the
telegraph and the telautograph, and he must be as near
ly perfect as he can be made in understanding the oper-
alton and manufacture of the instrument.

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink II?

A minister's wife had quite a tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years Of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty, I
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
/ should want a good, hot cup Of cot
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and ! could keep awake better.
After three or four years Of coffee
drinking / became a nervous wreck
and thought that | simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
| was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes SO severe al to keep
me in bed for several days.
after being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, 50 I resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
Il began taking Postum, and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but /
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
FINALLY began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
years use Of Postum ! now feel like a
new woman-have mt had any bilious
attacks since | left off coffee"

Counsel Sought from Christian Men.
An evidence of the part which II
missionary colleges are to play in the
reconstruction of Turkey is found in
the appointment of two professors in
Euphrates college on a committee to
consider educational measures for mi
of the large interior provinces. One,
Prof. N. Tenekijian, several years ago
served a term of six months in prison,
being falsely accused Of ~disloyalty,
and Prof. Nahigian studied for a time
under President Angel at Ann Arbor.
Both are scholarly and earnest Chris

missionary of the American board in
eastern Turkey, to suggest what in
his judgment will promote popular ed

TREE RESEMBLES UMBRELLA.

A curious tree grows in one of the humorous islands
which are studded about the Pacific ocean. 1t grows, at
its full height, to nearly 80 feet, with branches spreading
like a huge umbrella, yet it is completely leadess, the
species having never been known to show signs of a sin
gle bud. It's sap is useful as a medicine, but as fuel the
wood is worse than useless, being as hard as iron and
quite as difficult to burn.
