Robinson Crusoe had been scared stiff
by the tracks of the savages, and felt
that his end was at hand.
Naturally, his first thought was to
provide himself with a coffin.
But what about cofiin-nailsf' he ex-
claimed, looking very blank.
For a considerable time it appeared
that there was nothing to be done.
However, as he considered the matter
further, there at length evolved the ex-
pedient of rolling up palm leaves and
filling them with his bits of rope, of
which he possessed an abundance.

whose lesser resistance enables them to
be carried to great distances for the
translation into air vibrations again, as
only the air vibrations can be meas
ured by the ear. In the wireless tele-
phone the air waves are translated into
vibrations of an electrical discharge
which oscillates the ether.
The ether waves sent out by the
transmitting station, having been there
modified by the human voice, are
changed back at the receiving station
into such a foEm as to affect the re
ceiver and cause the exact air vibra
tons which were made to modulate the
Transmitting current, and therefore, the
words of the speaker are heard exactly
as spoken.
DR.. DeForest 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 Gag ship,
the Connecticut, and another vessel.
Every battleship, cruiser and torpedo
boat of the great Pacific feet 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 conversation 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 successful
work in the navy, and has carried on
many experiments, both at home and
abroad. In May, 1908, from the Fife
tower, wireless messages were sent by
the radio telephone to every wireless
station in France. A warship off Mar
settles, nearly 500 miles away, heard
the transmitted messages just as dis
t;nctly as did the stations near Paris
While doing this, DR.. DeForest ha.
equipped several of the vessels of tn,
Italian navy, and the instruments me
with such decided success that an ar
rangement has been practically con
cluded for the equipment of the entir
navy.
Mrs. DeForest is quite as interest
ing as her inventor husband. She grad
uated from Cornell University in tn
difficult science Of civil engineering
She was the first and only woman t
