BOY AND GIRL INVENTORS.
Astonishing Record Of Their Achieve
ments,

Never in the history Of the country
have so many boys and girls been in
terested in practical scientific and me-
chanical inventions and experiments
as now. From all quarters come re-
ports of achievements by mere young
sters which are astonishing.
Boys who a generation ago would
have been told that children should
be seen, not heard" are today taking
out patents. The records show that
during the last year many boys and
girls from II to 20 years of age ap-
piled for and received letters Of
patent on a variety of inventions
ranging from a corn husker to a new
signalling device for which the in
ventor refused $4,000.
In addition to those who did apply
for patents there were thousands of
others who built for their own amuse-
ment various forms Of mechanical and
scientific instruments and never
bothered protecting their ideas in
corporated in their construction.
When the government took steps to
suppress the amateur wireless opera
tors the secret service men found, in
two weeks investigation, tnat there
were not less than 400 boys In
Greater New York capable of inter-
cepting any message which might be
sent from or to the fleet. Hundreds of
other boys in this city are working
with wireless apparatus but are less
expert in it's use.
OF course the early training that
the modern boy receives does much
to stimulate his inventive faculties.
Manual training Is now taught in
many schools and the boys and girls
are encouraged to make tools and In
struments they may need. For the
past two years special instruction IN
the making and use of wireless ap-
paratus has been given at the Chill
dren's Museum of the Brooklyn In
stitute The results are visible on
several hundred roofs of that city.
Paul Worth, aged Is, and his chum,
Eric Leavers, aged 16, have con-
structed two high power instruments.
Each made his entire apparatus,
young Worth constructing most OF his
out of old blocks. William Pearsall,
another siXteen-year-old Brooklyn
boy, built an instrument with which
he caught messages coming from a
thousand miles at sea.
Alfred Fage Lane, II years old, of
Manhattan, has sent messages sew
eral hundred miles by his homemade
instrument. Emil Krebaum, only IA,
has put up two poles. each 125 feet
high, which support his aerials out
in The Bronx. Over at Hastings on
the Hudson, Reginald Wand. aged Z,
invented his own wireless. for he
never saw any other machine. He
lacked poles. so he climbed a tree
and put a jacket. as wireless folks
call it, on that.
That science and morality do not
always go hand in hand was shown
in Los Angeles. Four boys, ranging
in age from IA TO II years, who were
arrested for burglary by the police.
tipped off the other members of their
gang by wireless. 1t was discovered
that the gang had been operating an
-to-date burglars club. Wireless
stations were installed by the boys
and operated in various parts of the
