TAKING THE OATH

TAKING of the oath in this country and in
Great Britain whether in court or in the
assumption of official duties is simple mat
ter. Not SO everywhere, however. When
Chinaman, for instance. swears to tell the
truth, it is customary for him to kneel, when
china saucer rs handed him and the oath is ad-
minstered as follows:
You shall tell the truth and the whole
truth. The saucer is cracked. If you do not
tell the truth, your soul will be cracked like the
saucer" the last words being spoken as the one
kneeling breaks the chinaware.
The exact significance of this oath has never
been made precisely clear to occidental minds
but its solemnity and force, however, are quite
clear it appears, to the oriental temperament
Other symbolic variations of the Chinese
oath are the extinguishing of candle or the
cutting off of chickens head the light of the
candle representing the witness SOUL and the
jurer.
In parts of India tigers and lizards skins are
substituted for the Bible of Christian countries,
and, it is averred, the penalty of breaking the
Indian oath Is that in one case the witness will
become the prey of tiger and in the other
that his body will eventually become covered
with scales, like the skin of lizard.
In the courts Of law in Norway there is
prelude to the oath proper, consisting of long
honIly on the subject of its sanctity and dis
QUESTION on the terrible consequences of not
abiding by it. When the witness is thought to
be appalled, by the sense of his fearful respon-
sibilitv the oath is then administered he hold
ing aloft the while his thumb and fore and
middle fingers as an emblem of the Trinity.
Turks and other Mohammedans take the
oath with their foreheads reverently resting on
the open Koran. The one sworn takes the book
into his hands and, STOPPING low as if in the
presence of higher power. slowly bows his
head until it touches the volume which is to
him inspired.
In some provinces of Spain the witness must
cross the thumb of one hand over the forefnger
of the other; then, kissing this symbolic if
swear to tell the TRUTH

known. The manner of producing 1T IS also
understood, and it is the winged Mercury that
will get on the job for the Government in its
big accomplishment.
By the length of wave is meant the distance
from one crest to the next. This length de
pends upon the rigging of the station from
which it is sent Short waves are produced by
a rigging that is closely coupled and therefore
vibrates rapidly. AS this rigging is heightened
the vibration is slower and the wave length IS
greater. 1t trequires plant OF great size to send
out wave the length of which is two miles
from crest to crest. Yet this is known to be
the most enduring length. 1t is possible SO to
enlarge the plant still to increase this wave
length; but above two miles the carrying
power of the wave begins to wane.
The New Station
THE form of the ordinary wireless station is
that OF great central pole, with wires run
nlng out from it like the ribs of an umbrella The
pole IS some three hundred feet high and the
sweep OF the umbrella IS in proportion. In the
station the Government is to erect the same
principle will be followed; but the pole will be
replaced by concrete tower of gigantic pro-
portions. Instead of height of three hundred
feet, it will tower six hundred feet above ground
and take its place among the talest structures
IN the world. 1t will overshadow the Washing
ton Monument by nearly hundred feet 1t
will have base of fifty feet diameter and taper
to width of eight feet at the top. The tower
IS to be erected on some Government reserva-
ton near Washington not yet decided upon
and will be in operation within year When
completed 1T will be one of the most curious
structures in the world and a monument to the
material of which it is built concrete which the
Government is recommending for all sorts of
construction.
This station will not, of course be able to
receive messages from the distance to which
1t can send them; for there are no other sending
stations OF the same strength The receiving
instruments will be of the greatest possible
efficiency, and 1t is expected that they will be
able to pick up messages more readily than the
ordinary station; but they have no power that
goes beyond the best instruments at present
possible to acquire and operated in the most
favorable circumstances.
Together with this great step in advance
more efficient wireless is to be installed on all
the principal ships of the navy, this having
sending power that will carry one thousand
miles under all conditions. 1t is considered un-
likely that there will ever be in case of war
gap between the Government ships or stations
of more than a thousand miles, and these NAV
be filled IN SO that messages may be relayed
home with no great delay. Then the home
Government can talk back to the most distant
ship direct and instantaneously if that ship
happens to be in the probable zone of activity,
the North Atlantic Ocean. If the station is
success. twin will be erected on the Pacific
Coast with probable chain to Honolulu and
the Philippines, and practically all the world
in which this country is interested will be
within cali by wireless
Evening star., 1909-09-05
Power of Wireless Stations

THE distance that wireless message will
reach depends upon the extent and quality
of the disturbance at the home station and
whether the air conditions are favorable for the
transmission. When pebble is thrown into
mi1lpond it starts ripple widening in all di-
rections. If the water is smooth and unob
structed the ripple continues lessening until it
becomes imperceptble in the great distance.
If, however, there are foreign bodies in the way
the progress of the ripple is interfered with, and
its career may end with so small thing
sturdy straw which breaks it up The ray of
signal light starts out into the darkness, and if
there is nothing to interfere it goes on and on
indefinitely. But if there is fog its light is
gradually weakened and eaten up before a
great distance is reached.
So it is with the wave that transmits the wire
less message. There are conditions under
which it travels more readily than Others
There are wave lengths that set out at swing
ing gallop harder to stop than others, just as
one football player may be catapulted farther
through the line than another. What the con-
ditions are under which the messages are more
likely to prevail are not yet understood; but

Ira B. Fee. deputy superint 'ndent

was an element Of virtue in football,
but that generally it was too rough.
William S. Sutton. of the University

the association. In the discussion
that followed it became evident the

chairman of the democratic national
committee, whose name was mention

for the purpose of clearing his name
of any connection with the sensation

Taggart said BE mad not been sub

when he heard of his name being
used. as a man Of family, he came
to clear his name. He declared he
did rot know Miss Gingles but knew
Miss Barrett. the complainant in the
case. He said the latter was a mani
curist and rented an apartment in
one of his hotels at French Lick.
A wrangle between the attorneys
followed the propounding of a ques-

which resulted in a statement from

Last evening shortly after 4:3O
o'clock took place what is probably
the second black hand outrage in
this city. This attempt, like the 9th
er, was also directed against color
ed man, but this time on the east
side, instead of the west.
The latest victim is Ben Brooks,
a coIored man about thirty years
old, who is in the employ of A. M.
Adler, as stableman, at his residence
at 1880 Seventh street.
Brooks was in the rear of the
Adler residence yesterday afternoon
polishing harness, when he was ap
preached by man, who in 4 grufl
tone asked him the following ques
tion:
Don't you know that we don't al
low any sinners around hereg"
Brooks told him that he knew
nothing about It, and the unknown
then said: ii>
We viii give you just two dayE
to get away from here, and Il you
do not go. we will come around and
hang you some night
Brooks was very much frightened
