HOW WIRELESS WORKS.
A Few Suggestions as to the Way the
System Is Operated.

Many correspondents, says the Phiia-
delphla Inquirer, are asking for j. de
scription of how wireless telegraph
works. The fact of such a system has
been known to everybody for years,
but the meal by which messages are
transmitted are not generally under
stood. II is impossible to 20 into de-
tails. but a few suggestions are offered
which may satisfy those not inclined
to deeper study.
As is known. light and heat move in
waves whose lengths can be measured.
Thus the sun gives out In every direc.
ton light in a series of undulating
waves, which may not only be meas
ured. but DETECTED. polarized. and so
on. Some idea of this may be gained
from the well known fact that when a
stone is thrown into a smooth pool of
water a series of circular waves ex-
tends in all directions. If any floating
objects come within these waves they
are oscillated.
1t was the lamented Professor Hertz
undiscovered that electricity. like light
and heat. also moves in waves which
may be measured. Just precisely how
these waves pass through the atmos-
phere is not wholly understood, but it
is believed that they have some rela-
ton to the ether of space, which is
omnipresent and which is believed to
constitute all matter under different
negative electrical conditions.
In wireless telegraphy a series of
Hertzian wave is set up by powerful
electrical dynamos or batteries. and
these are discharged from the top of a
high mast or pole. These. waves ex-
tend in all directions and-unless their
force is expended by distance-excite
certain effects in the receivers of wire
less teiegraphy instruments within the
zone, just as the waves disturb chips
on Il pond. Messages are sent and
received somewhat on the plan of the
ordinary Morse code by wires, in that
electrical impulses are regulated so as
to spell words according to a code.
In recent years many kinds of re-
ceivers have beer used. and the proc
ess is now simpler than formerly, but
any successful transmission of waves
depends a good deal on the state of
the atmosphere. electrical storms being
disadvanta geous. Also when many
wireless outfits are working in the
same zone much confusion results, and
often messages are transmitted with
great difficulty. sometimes not at all.
To Marconi belongs the credit of
making a practical success of the dis
~coveries Of others. but to Hertz be
longs the credit Of making the system
possible.

NICETIES OF DINING ROOM.
Correct Way of Arranging Table and
Of Serving Guests.

There are otherwise most excellent
housewives who overlook various little
details I'm the matter Of Setting the
table" There Is a right way a. well as
a wrong way in this branch OF good
housekeeping as in everything else.
The placing Of the silver Is n matter ~
Individual preference, though a custom
that is more often observed than any
other is that Of placing the knives and
spoons to the right Of the plate and the
forks 10 the left. For a simple dinner
10 the right Of plate would be placed
the meat knife and butter spread. then
the soup or bouillon spoon and to the
left two forks. one serving for the
meat and vegetable course and the 9TH
or for the salad course. II the soup or
bouillon is preceded by a fruit cocktail
or little neck clans the spoon or fork
would be placed to the right of the
knives.
Dishes should be presented at the
left hand of every guest beginning
with the first course with the lady vt
the right of the host and then passing
IN regular order as the guests are seat
ell. After the first curse the dishes
are started on their progress around
the table at the left OF a lady, but not
always the lady nj the right of the
host. for the same person must mo- al
ways be LEFT To be helped last.
There are many homes whore the
rule obtains of serving the hostess first,
and this is a rule that holds good with
or without company. Children learn in
this way by example and custom that
the mother Is to be considered first,
and with company this method of serv-
ing places the guests entirely at their
ease.

A WOMAN APPEARANCE.
Lines of Discomfort and Morbidity
Spoil Even a Pretty Face.

Many women forget that the mind
has a stranger effect on appearance
han any external attention. The walk
of the hopeful. cheerful woman will
he alert ana youthful.
The first secret of good appearance
is to keep a sane and pleasant outlook
on life, says n woman writer In the
Chicago Tribune. No taste in clothes
or excellence in looks will give beauty
where discomfort and morbidity show
on the face. Perhaps the only other
point to realize is that showiness and
cheap o~rnameatation are not COOL
taste and that simple line. with good
accessories. whether the dress be CHEAP
or expensive, is always in good taste.
The woman who never makes the
best of herself is still with us, though.
thank goodness. ever in increasing
numbers. As one writer expresses IL:
she belongs to one of two classes
the naturally indolent and Indifferent
or the consciously superior. She is
pretty hopeless in whichever class we
meet her, but when she ~patronizes and
pities you she touches the limit of
human patience. Lucky for us if the
superior one be only friend or ac-
quaintance. If she be a relative then
life has more than its average of pin
pricks. She will be like one of those
mirrors in which everything is magni-
fied-when you look at her all your lit
tie vanities, all your harmless attempts
at beauty culture. will be thrown back
upon you as grievous sins.
There could be no more unjust atti-
tude than that Of critical hostility from
one woman to another because of an
effort TO make the best Of looks and
clothes and circumstances. Luckily it
is every day becoming less frequent,
and in its place there is growing up a
pleasant camaraderie. a recognition of
the fact that it is the duty of a wom-
an to make the best Of herself and that
getting into years only accentuates the
duty"

After mach skirmishing and securing

Six miles farther he turned into a

1T will keep getting better from your
standpoint" retorted Murray.
ON they sped until the car swerved
and turned into what looked to Orville
like an overgrown copse.
You don't mean this is n road?' he
said as the car bumped and protested
against the ruts and underbrush.
NO; just a lane, the only house on
which is the one where l have engaged

the car swooped down upon a white
house nestled among the trees.
Murray helped him carry his belong

then returned to town, with a curious
smile lighting his face.
The place proved ideal for Orville's
purpose. The farmer and his wife
were quiet people, little given to
speech. They never disturbed him
when he was at work wen to the ex-
tent Of summoning him to a meal.
When hunger drove him from his work,

wouldn't get the quiet there that she
so evidently wants. I'll tell you what
I'll do. I'll move my writing table and
books and things down to the little
cabin on the river bank and do my
work there"
He proceeded to carry out this plan
and remained in his new quarters the
remainder of the day. 1t was dusk
for something to eat.
"She's upstairs" volunteered Mrs.
, Glidden. "She's awfully young and
pretty. | told her l had a gentleman
boarder who came here to be alone,
and she said she wouldn't disturb you
in the least"
But Oryille was intent on a compli-
Gated situation in his book and paid no
heed to what his landlady was saying.
Three days and nights INTERVIEWED
without an encounter of the two would
be hermits. Once Orville came upon an
easel down in the orchard. He paused
before it for some time, lost in admira-
ton of the talent displayed. Then he
walked on to the river. That night he
was unable to write. Memories he was
striving to stife were awakened by the
bit of landscape he had viewed.
The next morning as he was seated
at his writing table in the cabin max
ing heroic efforts to concentrate his

went to the door and saw a young girl
carrying a tin pail filed with artists
materials running toward the cabin in
great alarm.
"Oh," she gasped, with a half sob,
save me. He'll follow me in here!"
In an instant Orville's strong right
arm was about her shivering form.
"Kathie! Would l let any one or
anything harm your"
She lifted a white face.
"Oh, Dickl You? Why-you are not

Orville placed her in a chair and STEP

with the. pail of paints and brushes.

suringly; 1.-The pail, supposed to contain
