Marvels of the Wireless
nv EDGAR LUCTEN LARKIN.

Send a electromagnetic impulse or wave
through tho air and direct a balloon, or
along over tho sea and direct tho move
ments OF boats. and you will solve one
part OF the problem OF acting at a dis
lance. And with no human or boat or
balloon. This Is a very recent achieve
ment.
Could the reader secure one glimpse OF
the wireless mechanism now in use
throughout the world, en- masse, he would
be surprised at its magnitude.
Boats have been steered TO right or
left. stopped. started, reversed, aoceler-
ated, retarded and controlled in every way
by an operation in a wireless plant on
the shore. No wire from man to boat
waves OF electric force only.
None must fall into the mistake, how
ever, that power to run the boat was
transmitted from land. Accumulators OF
electricity--Le.. storage batteries--actuat-
ing a motor were on board the vessel.
Now, the wireless starts, stop and re-
verse this motor, or can actuate a gaso-
line explosion motor, with facility equal
TO that OF an engineer on the boat. THIS,
indeed, is a triumph OF llmltless mind
over the forces OF nature.
| The first trial, made on a lake In Ger
many, was the managing OF a boat
thirty-three feet in length, having a four
and one-half- horsepower motor. On
board was an attuned receiver able 60
receive and use waves coming in from
the signal station located In distant
I lighthouse tower. IL power could be
transmitted, then the career of man
would be almost completely changed from
it's present status.
The operator I'm the tower first caused
gun on the boat to fire a signal shot to
attract attention OF spectators. Then he
started the unnamed vessel, which as
sumed a speed Of ten miles per hour
Then he stopped the boat reversed the
motor and likewise the direction OF mo-
ton. changed the rudder, aport. to star
board and amidship; fired rockets, turned
on lights and also signals and continued
these modern wonders during several
hours.
The antennae, a system OF wires whose
office is to select waves from space and
traismit them to the receiver I'm the hold
OF the vessel, were stretched between
two tall. slim masts. The receiver sent
these impulses into the tuner. and
when tuned, they were sent into the dis
tributer OF force 10 the motor apparatus.
The applications OF this now perfected
wireless mechanism are numerous and Of
great value. II enables those on shore 10

shore 20 ships. or from ship 10 ship.
Thus, town minus a harbor or pier can
send out boats to load or unload off
shore ships; send mails and perlshable
goods Distant lighthouses can be lighted,
mines fired dynamite detonated without
danger. signal guns fired storm bells
rung, likewise fire alarms and signals OF
all kinds actuated.
one great use is the sending out OF life
saving boats TO the drowning and to
sinking ships on rocks In surf The waves
are broken up into sets by the ordinary
Morse telegraphie keys. All OF these
beneficent uses--the sending of malls and
rescue of the neutrality-suspicious. with a
hundred others. are harbingers of ap-
preach Of great blessings TO modern
civilization.
Good things turn TO horrors. Thus an
ordinary torpedo can be surrounded with
chamber OF compressed air for power
and provided with an almost invisible
float. Two uprights hold antenna wires.
One Of these poles contains electric lamps
visible from the shore, but not from n
ship that is being attacked, Look at this
terrible engine of death. This floating
torpedo is not TO he fired from any tube

This one large torpedo. capable OF being

batteries OF colossal guns are obsolete, for
few torpedoes sent from unknown hooks

plosives can be dropped on decks from
the sky by an operator on shore hidden
from the sight OF ships. Three men can
now annlhilate a fleet in short order
and with little expense. II is not even
necessary to plant harbors and road

be wiped out as easily as ironclads at

This generation ought TO see the last

dangerous habit in painful and effec-

My correspondent, who had her nose

Wage Garner After Marriage

made everything she did better than what
anybody else did, and there are mighty
few of us now who would be willing to
risk our lives on mothers bread and
mothers pies. We prefer the output of a
sanitary scientific bakery.
Also the time is passing in which men
hold TO the arrogant notion that a
woman must be inferior to a man and de-
pendent upon him, and with it will come
husbands Joy in his wifes success and
her ability TO do things outside Of the
home When that glad day arrives
mans vanity will not be hurt by know
ing that his wife earns her own money
and helps along the family. Also in
selecting a wife a man will look out for
a companion more than he does for a
cook.
The kitchen and the drawing room can
take care Of themselves, but the nursery
is another matter. No incubator can take
the place of a mothers breast, no trained
goverpess is a substitute for the broodng
mother love of even an ignorant woman,
and when there are babies in a household
everything should be sacrificed to their
needs. They are a mothers career, and
they are her pay envelope.
But THIS question of the right OF a
woman to work after marriage is one
that should never disturb the home circle.
In the first place, unless a man is able 70
support family so that his wife doesn't
feel the need OF earning money, he has
no right to ask a woman to marry him.
And in the second place, II a girl hates
domesticity and isn't willing to give up
her work and make a home for man,
she has no right to marry.
The only exception to this rule is when
q couple are broadminded enough to dis
tcuss the matter before marriage and to
have a thorough understanding that each
Is to pursue his or her calling after mar
riage' and that they are to be pals and
comrades, and preserve their financial in
dependence. l have known many couples
who have done this and who are happv
and contented, although they live I'm

Says We Should Have Two
 Sundays a Week

How would you like to have B addi- tional holidays a year? How would you like two Sundays week. one for rest and recreation and the other for religious devotion?
 In presenting this idea the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hills of the Plymouth Congregational church., Brooklyn. has pointed out most interesting fact. He declares that if the practice of the earliest Jewish Christian churches had been fol- lowed, two rest days a week is exactly what we would be enjoying today
 "The earliest converts to Christianity were Jews" declares the Watchman. a Baptist publication issued in Boston, in dorsng Dr. Hillis's idea, 'and they con tinued, after their acceptance of Jesus as the Messiah, to observe the Jewish Sab bath on the seventh day of the week. After the resurrection Of Jesus on the first day of the week the Christians be- gan to observe this day as a day of Christian assembly to worship their risen Lord. So these early Jewish Christians had a day of rest and day for worship every week We have stated before and we repeat that it is our conviction that this is the proper order for Christians.
 There has never been given any en- tirely satisfactory reason why the sev- anth day of the week should be aban-

A Human Interest Story

He is a little boy, a serious, grave eyed little boy, four or maybe five years old. His father Is a tailor who works all day in a large shop for small wages, and his mother takes in sewing to help out the family income, and the two of them have kept through all their struggles the simple religious nature which is the birthright of all men. Every night thS little boy offers up little prayer he has composed himself Dear God, please bless father, and mother. and all the poor little children in the world" So when, the other day, he was on one of the principal thoroughfares with his mother and they wanted to cross. and the automobiles were whizzing up and down, it seemed to his baby mind that the only thing to do was to ask God to protect them. He slipped his hand out of his mothers and crossed 1t with the other on his breast.
 Dear God he said, "help us across this street. >~
 And maybe God heard. Anyhow. just then the big policeman held up his hand, and way was made for them
