JAP PANESE INSPECT
WIRELESS Phone
Officers of the MikadO's Navy
Test Invention of Oakland
Man

OAKLAND, Aug. 12.-Wfreless tele-
phones invented by John Mccarthy of
6S2 Thirty sixth street, this city, may
be Installed on Japanese warships in
the near future. Two representatives
of the Mikado's navy, Baron IVAN
Kowajuchi and Baron Meniiro Togono,
came here yesterday and inspected and
tested the apparatus They made
second inspection and test this morn
ing of the wireless telephone plant
which is located on the roof of the st.
Mark hotel and which is operated by
Mccarthy and two fellow inventors,
Kendall Douglas and E. p. Herrguth.
After the Japanese naval men had
boarded the liner Mongolia in the bay
this afternoon preparatory to leaving
for home, Kelly caused a phonograph
to be played into the transmitter of
the wireless telephone. The barons
heard the selection distinctly OH the
steamer, according to wireless tele-
gram received by Kelly. The wireless
plant on the Mongolia could receive
the wireless telephone message, but is
not equipped to send such a message.
1t Is peculiar feature of the Nc
Carthy wireless telephone that any
wireless telegraph station may receive
the messages transmitted. Since the
inventor has been operating his ma
chlne the operators of wireless stations
nave had spell of nerves" While
some of the operators We're engaged in
the serious work of sending out and
receiving telegraph messages they
would be interrupted by the strains
OF Has Any One Here Seen Kelly?' as
sung by phonograph into McCarthy's
wireless telephone.
Mccarthy says he has talked with the
telephone as far as Santa Cruz and
stockton. He says that the Japanese
naval representatives were well i'm
pressed with the invention and that
he expects to hear from them after they
arrive in Japan.

very beneficial effect on realty values.
The abandonment of steam locomotives

comprehended in the change. Work is

Railroad Contest
BERKELEY, Aug. 11.-There is an
interesting contest going on in north
ern Berkeley Just now The rival roads,
the Southern Pacific and the Key
Route, are extending their lines to
reach the great open district where
some of Berkeleys choicest residence
land. Thousand Oaks, lies. 1t looks as
if the Southern Pacific will have its
service in this territory first, as the
loop line. now under construction, will
be electriciZed and in operation shortly
after the first of the year.
The Southern Pacific is extending its
road north and west from Bergman
station on the Shattuck avenue line.
The excavation and grading are about
completed in the Circle, which is the
portion of the road which is to be COW
cred and made into a tunnel, while the
track has already been laid over the
greater part of the route. After pass
ing through the tunnel the road will
run west in Solano avenue. The station
at the corner of The Alameda and So
lano avenue will be but two blocks
away from Thousand Oaks, the new
subdivision which is shortly to be open
ed by the Newell-Hendricks company of
Berkeley and San Francisco. From So
will complete the loop by two different
routes One line will turn south in
California street. while the other will
cross San Pablo in Solano and turn
south in Ninth street. BY this route
the Santa Fe district viii be covered
and all of this vast territory will have
an to 10 minute service, because
trains viii be running both ways on
the loop all the time to northern
Berkeley.
In speaking of the Importance of
these extensions r. c. Newell. of the
Newell Hendricks company, said:
The coming of two electric lines with quick
service to San Francisco means the building up

Add to this the fact that the great

than the influence of English,

what a complicated state of semi

exist. The only wonder is that laws
are ever administered, that justice is
ever meted out, and that the country
is not in perpetual state of anarchy.
The explanation of the comparative
good order and apparent contentment
that exists is doubtless found in the
khaki-clad English soldier, who is not
over-conspicuous in the streets of
Cairo, but whom every Egyptian
knows could be summoned at a mo-
ment's notice to quell an insurrection

Ta1IeSt

In early days, when human intelli-
gence was in its infancy. there -four
ished a primitive form of religion,
known as plant and tree worship. and,
though centuries have intervened.
curious traces Of this old phase still
remain in the folk lore of plants.
This old-time veneration which our
ancestors cherished for forest giants
and exquisite blossoms can be readily
appreciated in view of the emotion
and admiration which they call forth
In ourselves today.
With the passing of the centuries
and the progress Of civilization these
primitive ideas were modified and
changed to meet the changed condi-
tons of life and mind. so that under
the shadow of Christ's life and cruci-
hxion some members OF the plant
