WIRELESS TO THE BRAIN.

At the dedication of the Roosevelt
dam in Arizona few weeks ago it
was stated not only would the water
from this one of the biggest dams in
the world fertilize thousands of acres
of semiarid land, but
The power derived from the fall of
its waters would be made to light the
city Of Phoenix and turn the wheels of
its industries, seventy-five miles away
That would have been wonderful in
deed fifty years ago.
But it is only half the feat of trans
mission involved in lighting the city
of Syracuse, N. Y, bringing light and
power over thin wire from the har-
messed forces of Niagara falls, $50
miles away.
Electricity has become the obedient
slave of civilization, taking the place
of the shaclzled slaves of the older
day.
One by one masterful man is hitch
ing his machines to the forces, of earth
and air and water. The time is com
ing when he will be almost free from
manual labor giving him leisure and
strength for the exercise of those quail
tiles of mind and heart that shall
transform the world.
But
There is a more wonderful thing
than all this advance of science, and
/ It will always be more wonderful.
More mysterious and more powerful
than the transmission of light and
heat over a slender wire is the wire
less transmission of the light of hui
man intellect and the power of hu-
man fancy that comes to the brain Of

However, by judicious questioning
as we came home from the services |
learned from her that one of her
friends, regular church communi-

cause she was afraid she might look

that there were people in the church

Republican Bosses Fix on Early

Election

Santa Fe, N. M. August 25.-
While no official call for the state

New York, Aug. Is. Sailing
serenely over NETWORKS myriad
water craft, it's ferry boats and
ocean liners, Harry N. Atwood,
the Boston Aviator, arrived in
New York in his aeroplane today,
the first man in history to travel
as far as from St, Louis to New
York by way of Chicago in a
heavier than air machine.
Atwood's S safe landing on Gov
ernor's island after flying down
from Nyack, N. Y, above the
Hudson river, through a fog
which made him only dimly Wis
ible to the million eyes that
watched him, was a notable in
cident in the annals of the air.
He not only broke the worlds
record, covering 1865 miles in
an air line, or perhaps 100 more
miles with his detours, but he
flew all the way in the same bi
plane and no important mishaps.
Atwood's flight is comparable
only to that made by fast trains,
for he covered the distance in an
actual flying time of 2s hours
and 81 minutes,
Atwood's final lap in his long
journey was glide Is miles from
Nyack, N. Y, where he had
stopped over night. He landed,
smiling, hatless and hungry in
the arms of a handful of United
States army officers and men who
hailed him as Americas greatest
aviator.
