WILL TEST WIRELESS
NAVY DEPARTMENT PLANS GREAT TELEoRAPHIc FEATs.
Messages to Be Sent 5000 Miles Be- tween Station in East and War. ships-Hiah Tower or
 Brant Rock.

The navy, says report from Wash ington, is to conduct experiments In long-distance wireless teleTaphy. Im- pressed with the importance of sys- tenn which will in cases of necessity transmit messages from some place on the Atlantic seaboard for a distance of 5000 miles, the matter was taken up in earnest almost year ago. The desirability of such Iong-distance com munication, the officials say, is ob- vious, for in times of war it would prove invaluable tot the government.
 By it's means the navy department will be able to control and direct readi- ly from shore the movements of this fleet. This, together with the propo- sition to install wireless apparatus on ships so that they may be able to com municate with each other at dis tance of 1000 miles, will put the gov ernment in the position where direc- tions given to one vessel quickly may be transmitted to another
 The experiments in communicating 5000 miles are to take place at Brant Rock, Mass, beginning probably late in December. Instruments construct ed for this purpose have been installed in tower over 400 feet high. Two scout cruisers, the Salem and the Birmingham, are to be utilized as re- eeiYing stations. Repairs to these vessels now under way will be com pleted December 4, after which they fri which will keep them, within a radius of 5000 miles of Brant Rock, the pres ent program contemplating a cruise from the Scottish coast downward to the west African coast and also in the American tropics. Meanwhile mes sages will be sent to each of these yes sels, both of which have been equip ped with ten-kilowatt-power receiving apparatus, capable, it is asserted, of recording the long-distance communi- cations. Al the same time the yes sells will exchange messages for the purposes of testing the apparatus for communication ,00O miles at sea.
 Strict requirements we're laid down by the navy department in the speci- hcauon5 inviting proposals TOT con- structing the proposed high-poweTed station as well as for the apparatus aboard ships. The messages from shore must not be interrupted by at mospheric disturbances or intentional or unintentional interference by neigh boring stations. The messages also must be transmitted with entire secre- cy. The apparatus aboard the ships must be capable of transmitting and receiving messages at all times, in all seasons and in all attitudes for 1000 miles and to receive messages from the high-powered station for 5000 miles at all times.
 Upon the result of these experi. ments will rest the question of the erection by the navy of a wireless tower at Washington as contemplated originally, that in Massachusetts be. longing to private company.

The maidIess Home.

There is a lady in an aristocrat.c suburb who is able to keep a half dog en hired girls, but she won't have any at all She is her own cook, her own waitress, her own housekeeper, and she says she lives as happy as bird, and her husband says so. too. He likes it. There is serenity in that household that makes home as sweet as a shady nook in Eden.
 If a man wants only rice for sup per, he gets rice. If he wants a link of sausage for breakfast he gets that. If he wants for lunch an oyster stew there it is; it's only matter of a few minutes and a few smiles. There is true life, and it's abundant, too: and if John wants to help clear of the table, there is a picnic. We must not think tha. life is only manly when it is Iounging in a club room, smoking Q ten-cent cigar. It is manly most when it mixes a happy heart with the little needs of life.-Ohio State Jour- nal

crant,s tinrse East WaIker.

If was not so very long ago that Gen. Frederick D. Grant, who re gently headed cold water parade fin Chicago, led forth from Fort Myer at Washington a half hundred officers who were to undertake the test of the 9O-miIe ride in accordance with the order of Theodore Roosevelt The rule was that the column should walk five miles, trot five miles and gallop five miles successively. Gen. Grant was at the head of the column, mount ed on a horse that had in Its iron shoes all the distance-coveTing virtues of seven-league boots. The walk of the generals horse was equal to the fast trot of any ordinary cavalry mount, at least so some disgruntied officers complained a day or two after the test was completed. It seems, ac- cording to the story, that the head Of the column did rot look back, and that while his horse was walking five miles the 50 horses were trotting five miles in order to keep up. Army of ficers will tell you to-day that in the whole 90 miles covered in the test, not one horse walked a foot except that of the general who led the procession.

ONE ON MoReAN's PARTNER h His Youth, George w. Perkins Achieved Other. Than Financial
 Distinction.

Of course it may seem mean to dig 1t up on him now that he's made good, but George W. Perkins. now famous as partner of J. Pierpont Morgan,s was once a singer in church choir in Cleveland and his only claim to distinction ir those days was an incl dent now past the memory of all but the older inhabitants of this town.
 George lived here when he was young man in his early twenties and he liked to sing. He had a ,first-rate with Memorial church, if one is cor rectly informed as to the particular church The choir singers sat in loft back of the pulpit almost hidden from the congregation. At that time there were two or three remarkably pretty young women in the choir. Well, there wasn't any harm in the bass or tenor singers looking at the contralto or soprano members of the choir and feasting their eyes on them when the sermon dragged, was there? Certainly there wasn't. But being seated all in a row, 1t was necesssey for one to tilt back ones chair in or der to get a square view of face at the other end.
 That is what George W. Perkins did one bright Sunday morning, if the dope is handed down alright. He shift ed his chair about trife to get still better view. Unhappily, one leg of his chair had been resting close to the top of the steps that led down from the choir loft to the main audi torium When George shifted his chair he shifted one leg over the edge of that stairway.
 A second later a bright young man, destined to be one of the great finan- cial geniuses of the coutry, lay all in heap at the foot of the pulpit. And the sermon was brought to a complete stop just as effectively as if it had been wound up by a peroration.- Cleveland Plain Dealer.

SEASON FOR SOCIETY
Mrs. Taft, After Enjoying a Complete Rest, Is Expected to Enter
 tain EIaborately.

Mrs. Taft, wife of President Taft, has returned to the White House in Washington. It is s predicted that there will be brilliant social season at the White House, with many in novations as regards official dinners and receptions
 Mrs. Taft took a complete rest dur ing the summer, esehewing all social duties and receiving calls only from her nearest personal friends. and it is hoped that she will retain through the season the full vigor of health to which she seems to be completely re- stored.
 Miss Helen Taft is pursuing her duties at Bryn Mawr. While it is supposed that she will make her debut this winter, it seems hardly credible.
 While Miss Taft is thoroughly hu- man girl, loves life, outdoor sports and fully enjoys the society of both women and men, she is in no sense a society girl In fact, she absolutely disdains most purely society accom- plishments. Shes does love her books, and as she obtained the scholarship at Bryn Mawr by arduous labor, it is probable that she will prefer to com plete her scholarship term before en- tering into the ljoys as well as annoy ances of the debutante White House belle.
 Miss Taft is very original in her ideas. and has most decided chin which means that she is going to do just exactly as she pleases. She will have a year at the White House after completing her scholarship at Bryn Mawr. and, being a very sensible young lady, she probably will choose to reserve her strength and put it all into that one year of joyous belleship after she has graduated and re- ceived her diploma at Bryn Mawr.

SENAToR ALDRlcH ON THE MONETARY coMMIssIos,

While Senator Cummins was talk Ing of national policies with intense fervor before the Marquette Club Senator Aldrich delivered a careful ly measured address on the finance commission before the Commercial Club, says the Record-Eeraid. The senator from Rhode Island was not militant; hS was hardly in a conro- yersial frame of mind. It is true that he made sighting reference to An drew Jackson and hit vaguely at cranks and demagogues, but his theme did not invite personalities or even the setting forth of financial plan. It was announced thus: 'Tt lis my purpose to call the attention of the bankers and business men of Chi cago to some of the more salient fca- lures of the work of the national mon etary commission"
 The commission, we are informed, is making and will continue to make a most thorough inquiry into the mon etary systems of the world. It's la tors are so great that they will not be completed this winter, but it will probably make a report at the begin ming of the third session of the pres ent congress Meanwhile it will wei come the advice and assistance of the business men of the co-ctry.
 The senator, confessing to a cen version, expressed his personal opi1- ion that an efficient organization of the credit banking system Of the coun- try is much more important than the question of note issue. but he did not absolutely neglect the latter He in dicated in what he said of EuroPeal experience that he had a sympathy for a central bank Of issue. He be- iieves that branch banking as i. CT ists in other countries is not po5sit.e here. He expressed himself strongly on the subject of keeping partisan politics out of any system that may hc established.
 M2aifestly this was not keynote sDeech, but the story Of a program of the commission is interesting. If ve are to have. as the selato- says, lbs most complete and comprehensive investigation of the subject of fiaalcc that has ever been made and an up to-date library on that subject we

WHAT IS A HERo2

The awards made by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission for ,acts of bravery and illustrious conduct" in dicate that the commissions defini- tion of heroism is the accepted one an exhibition of physical courage in moving accident by flood or field. or 8 display of hardihocd in the immin- ent deadly breach. Such at least is i. the idea obtained from the award of fifty medals and sums of money az gregating S33.0eO for daring rescues of children from rivers and from be- fore railroad trains, stopping unman- ageable horses, carrying helpless per sons from burning buildings, etc. No doubt Horatius at the bridge would have headed the list of recipients of medals from an Old Roman Hero Fund
 This Is the popular understanding of the word, and there is no desire to criticise the laudable efforts of the commission to encourage what after all is one of the commonest at tributes of humble life. But one looks in vain fer an award for moral cour- age, for medal bestowed in recog- milton of 'illustrious conduct involv- ing higher display of heroism than that which involves physical risk only.
 Is there no one in the country who has deserved such a decoration by putting his political future in jeopardy for the sake of his principles? Medals for mayors who defy bosses, for dis trict attorneys who follow trails of corruption to their sources and sen ators who affront predatory interests would contribute greatly to stimulate civic virtue The public has no lack of applause for spectacular physical courage, but it has a yet deeper ap- preciation for moral heroisn.

Presiden,-- o:iee rs Round.

President Tafts new private office is practically ready for occupancy. It is circular in shape, and as one of the workmen put it, Tt will it him nice ly." The president will be surrounded by law books. As soon as he became chief executive he had shelves built along the walls of the office which Mir. Roosevelt had just vacated, and on these shelves went brown-covered books by the scores. MT. Taft believes in having the constitutional authori- ties within reach. There is a vast dif- ference bstweep Che Taft and the Roosevelt 'decoi ations" of the White House office. MT. Taft's law books have been told about. Mir. Roosevelt had a picture of Abraham Lincoln on the wall, an ax in one corner and a -Mauser rifle in another. That was all. The ax appeared in its corner unher- aided by any advance notice. It ap- peared suddenly, and visitors on the day of it's coming wondered at it. One had the courage to ask the colonel what the ax was for. The answer was a grin.

Captain Wheeler. of the late and lamented ranger service. we believe has oyerdrawn the picture of any in creased lawlessness in the territory since his excellent force was disband- ed. This paper was opposed to the abolihment of the rangers when that was done. but with the present law providing for county rangers where desired we do not regard that there is a serious demand for the old ter ritorial force. However. we believe in large border counties like Cochise a local ranger force of four good men would be both economical and eff cient in the enforcement of the crim- inal statutes of the territory.
