THE MARCH OF WIRELESS
TELEPHONY.

When wireless tel0graphy was first estnb-
lished across the Atlantic in 1901 it was con-
fdentIy predicted that wireless telephony
would speedily follow. An installation is
now being fitted in the EiffeI Tower, in
Paris, with which il will be possible for a
Partisan to talk with a friend in New Y ok.
Thus, as the result Of certain wa7e-moye-
ments in the ether, an element of which we
can only very dimly conjecture, the sound
Of the human voice can be conveyed $500
miles in an imparceptible interval of time,
when the human body could not cover the
same distance in less than five or six days.
The system of telephony adopted for
these experiments by the French Govern
ment is that of De Forest, an American in
ventor, which was tried last summer be-
tween the Admiralty Offices at Whitehall
and certain ships stationed in the Channel.
Previously to this the Admiralty at Ports
mouth had been in communication with
ships in the Channel fitted with De Forests
apparatus, and had been convinced that in
the case of a naval battle in the Channel
the commander of a vessel, directing his
ship, could talk with the Admiralty from
the bridge.
The innumerable practical uses to which
wireless telegraphy and telephony IRE now
being put show what service scientific inyes-
tigation of the most abstract kind may rem
der to man. Hertz, the discoverer Of these
obscure etheric or electric waves, never be
lieyed that they could be used for telegra-
ply, and yet when Mr.. Marconi took the
problem in hand it was speedily solved.
Wireless telegraphy to-day is employed in
every great Navy and in most of the Armies
OF the world. The time is not far distant
when all steamers atloat will be equipped
with wireless apparatus, the service Of
which in bringing help has been repeatedly
demonstrated in cases Of breakdown or
collision. Yet another advance, which may
be mean at hand, is the transmission OF pow
er through space without wires. When
that becomes practicable, and many minds
are working on the problem, the greatest
difficulty in the way Of aerial navigation
will be removed.-Ibid.

A BRITISH TRADE TRIUMPH.

Last week five lorry loads Of British made
shoes were sent from England to the United
States. The event is remarkable because it
affords striking evidence of how a British
trade at one time sorely pressed by outside
competition can not only beat back its
foreign rivals, but invade their own territory,
despite high hostile tariffs. Eight years ago
American made shoes were imported into
England in large and growing quantities,
and seemed likely to sweep the market for
better class footwear here. The old-time
British boot was uncomfortable until mould
ed by the pressure of the wearer's foot, and
was not elegant. 1t was taken for granted

this person that the anti viyisectionists and
their journalistic supporters expect us to
base the belief that Dir. Flexner and his
carefully chosen associates are guilty, not
only Of atrocious cruelty in tbeir work, but
OF performing it in a way so sloyenly and
unsklItully, In suoh complete violation Of all
the principles Of modern aseptic surgery,
that the attainment by them of any kind or
degree of success would be quite out Of
the question.
As it happens, however, these men have
already won worldwide recognition for their
repeated aohieyem ents In both preventive
and curative medicine, and their triumpbs
are acclaimed by their professional brethren
as those naturally to be expected when ex-
perts of the hug hest rank have been enabled
to pursue their studies with the best Of faci-
lities and in the best of conditions. The
story told by the woman who event there

clontly hOrrifying, for those who can accept
it as true, but in its essential features it is
much such a story as might be told by an
equally ignorant and seutim entail obs river
who watched what goes on daily in the
operating theatre Of any big hospital-with
men, women, and children substituted for
dogs and cats to make the tale Of torture
and mutilation the more dreadful. In the
hospitals us in the Rockefeller Institute, the
frighttuI spectacle if viewed out of relation
to purpose and consequence. But in both
cases, when viewed in that relation, cutting
and slashing, and even the means of fright
or pain, take on an entirely different aspect.
One sees no longer a revival of the mediae-
val torture chamber, but the application of
beneficent knowledge as it guides practiced
hands in the alienation Of suffering and the
conquering Of disease.
The testimony of this new witness may
not be Intentionally false, but false much Of
it certainly and obviously is, and its simila-
rlty to that given, and cUnclusively retuted
IN England concerning the famous brown

ROOSEVELT SAYS
ENTER POLITICS
Advises Members of Harvard
Government Class to En-
ter Public Careers.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 16.-Seyen
hundred Harvard students Thursday
heard Col. Theodore Roosevelt speak
on Politics
The colonel advised al the members
of the class of government to go into
politics when they are graduated He
declared the training they are receiv-
ing at Harvard will eminently fit them
for political work. He described his
political position by saying that he
thoroughly believes in the politics he
advocates.
Condemns Present Methods.
Col. Roosevelt condemns methods OF
nominating for political offices by
which men who had no previous ex.
perience because they have made nc
enemies.
The colonel spoke first on the neces
sity of combining book knowledge and
practical experience, and instanced the
Federalist as an example of the re
suit of the working out of that combi
nation.
1T was indeed a campaign docu
ueuI, lie Sdlu. was ueSlSucQ lOl
that purpose and was used in tina,
way"
The speaker showed that the same
necessity for book knowledge and prac
teal experience was demonstrated in
the discussion of the abolition ques
ton
The second part of his address was
more directly devoted to the students
themselves. Commenting on the fact
that the graduate is likely to be SUI
percillious and to sneer at politicians
he said: do not only have debit
side in your account with public men
have the credit side. too"
Must Work With Fellows.
In speaking of the necessity for the
participation of the college graduate
in politics, he said:
go into politics not merely to dc
the nation good but that the nation
may do you good. A man who cannot
work with his fellows in politics may
be too yirtuous for them, but
it is more probable he is too foolish
and finicky."
Col Roosevelt left Cambridge fol
New York with President Lowell.

The problem was serious one. for
II meant a great financial loss to In

finally solved by deciding to put the
burden upon the saloon keeper, in

prohibit any saloon keeper from re-

or distillery or liquor house of any
kind: 1t will prohibit him from accept
ing any furniture or fixtures from
these sources. directly or indirectly,
from having his license paid by them.
The provisions will be very stringent
