NATIONS WILL TALK OF WIRELESS

VI VI YHEN the nations get to-
 N A gether next month in Lon
 Eg Sy don to talk about wireless
 telegraphy their meeting will have more than-a coldly scientihcI value. The ways of wireless through the air have acquired immense interest in the eyes Of the world by reason of the use of the new method of communi- cation Ill saving the survivors of the Titanic disaster. The delegates will talk of laws to regulate wireless teleg- raphy, of international agreements of maritime regulations of the proper pay of operators, of the proper wave lengths. etc. but underlying their dis cussions will be the feeling that they are dealing with living, breathing thing akin to all varieties of human thought and feeling.
 The virtues of the wireless have been extolled sufficiently since the Titanic
 flashed out her first distress signal. But the methods of use of the priceless medium have received severe criticism from scientists and laymen alike. For instance, there has been much talk of the useIessness of the wireless stream when the only man on board a ship lies buried in needed sleep and his compan ions on board cannot read what the eager ether would tell them. Doubt less the delegates in London will voice their conviction that every ship should carry at least two wireless men.
 Other matters of high importance will come before the conference. Ma tions on the eastern shores of the At | lantic censure America for not having | instituted before this time a system of regulation of the use of wireless teleg l raphy to the end that interference, by 1 amateurs and by unauthorized profeS- l sionals may be done away with. The l United States government has named eleven delegates to represent America | at the conferenc

 sels in distress. The loss of the Ti- l tanic recalled to the world the collision between the Republic and the Florida

 The disaster was sudden and over whelmiug. and about 2,000 persons per ished in PompeH alone The city was buried in ciaders and ashes and faded from the memory of man. For fifteen hundred years it lay entOmbed. In .1594-1G0O an aqueduct for the nearby town of TOrre AnnunZiata was tun- .neled under the ruins, but no substan- tiaI notice was taken of them
 It was not until 1748 that the Nea- uoIitan goverumcnt acted in the mat ter of bringing forth the objects of immense historical and archaeological interest, in some cases of material value. which lay under the ashes ISince then the excavations have been fairly continuous.
 The present government of Italy, successor of the kingdom of Naples, holds in its own hands the right to eX- Icavate and will under no clrcum- stances permit outsiders to dig in the lruins. Time after time foreign scien- itists. eager to uncover more rapidly flor the world the rich treasures Of l PompeU, have proffered assistance Foreign capitalists, interested Tn his tory and art have offered money 10 lbelp in the work. All these offers have met with polite and firm refusal Italy wishes to retain for itself all the glory Iof excavating what was once the coun- Itrv seat of some of its wealthiest cit- lzens
