10 OAR.
TODAY

The members of General Marion
Chapter. Daughters of the American
Revolution, celebrated the one hun
dred and seventy-ninth anniversary of
the birth of George Washington, the
first president of the Republic. with
a reception, luncheon and patriotic
program at the Strathmore hotel this
afternoon. Mrs. Wheaton of Denver,
state regent of the Daughters or the
American Revolution, arrived here
from the east at 1:45 o'clock to at
tend the gathering and was the guest
Of honor. A reception was held for
Mrs Wheaton at o'clock; the liter
ary and gastronomic features of the
occasion taking place at its conclu-
sion.
Among the matters discussed at the
meeting today was the forthcoming
annual convention of the D. A R of
Colorado, to be held at Pueblo on the
seventh, eighth and ninth Of next
month. From maps and the personal
journal Of General Zebulon Pike in
the War Department at Washington,
d. c., it has lately been ascertained
that General Pike and the fifteen or
twenty soldiers with him on his IA
nous exploration trip to the Rocky
Mountains in the early part of the

boundaries of what is now the state
of Colorado at the mouth of Sand

OF Canon City General Pike remain
ed there during the winter of 1906,
treating with the Indians and learn
ing what he could from them about
the country, which was at that time
terra incognita so far as the Ameri-
cans were concerned. On the way up
the valley General Pike. at some point
east OF where Florence now stands,
got his first glimpse of the mountain
that bears his name. Subsequently
he visited the Pixies Peak region and
got a nearer view of the mountain
that Fate had decreed should be NAM
ed in his honor. Later he crossed the
Arkansas river and made his way
down the Continental divide. only to
be arrested by the military authori-
ties of Mexico as sort of filibusterer
and taken first to Santa Fe and then
to chihuahua, where he was thrown
into prison.
To commemorate the establishment
here by General Pike of the first Eng
lish speaking settlement in the Rocky
Mountain region the members Of Gen.
eral Marion Chapter. d. A. R.. are dis
cussing the proposition Of erecting a
tablet TO his memory on the site OF
the camp where he spent his first
winter in Colorado. one hundred and
five years ago. It is more than pos
sible the matter will come up for con-
sideration at the state convention In
Pueblo next month.

Paris.-The wonderful wireless
compass invented by the Italian Off
GERS Bellin, and Tosi, will shortly be
used to enable ships to ascertain their
position in fogs.
Special wireless signals are to be
sent out from various stations on the
French coast, and ships fitted with
the Billini-Tosi compass will ne able
20 determine the direction N which
ne signals are travelling.
Different signals are to be sent out
AZ regular intervals from stations at
t. Hayre lightship, Tile de SEN. and
Creach d 'Quessant. The tune" Of
each signal will be different, and the
$ gnals, themselves will be various
letters of the alphabet. so that those
arriving from one station will not be
confounded with those coming from
another.
The compass is an instrument
which, when tuned" to receive any
wireless signals, shows by an indicat-
or in what direction the signaling sta
ton lies. During a fog, therefore, an
operator in a ship fitted with the
compass will be able to ascertain the
directions in which the various sta
tons lie. and from the data the ships
position can be calculated with a fair
amount of accuracy.

KAISERIN-MOTHER LAUDED.
German Emperor Points to Example
Of Her Bringing up Six Sons.

Altoona, Prussia.-EmperOr William
last night made a noteworthy speech
at a banquet in honor of the province
% Schleswig-Holstein, whittier he
had come to attend the maneuvers,
Referring to the empress as a daugh-
ter of the province, his majesty de-
clared:
"She Is an example for German
mothers because she has brought up
six sons-serious, energetic men-who
are not inclined to take advantage of
the comforts and enjoyments of their
rank, like many of the present day
youths, but have devoted their
strength to the Fatherland in hard
and strict fulfillment of duty, and
should a serious occasion arise, are
ready cheerfully to sacrifice their
lives on the altar of their country"
Many of the newspapers are draw
ing the conclusion that the emperor
in this speech in referring to the pat
riotism of his sons, had in mind the
dispute between Germany and France
over Morocco.
