ARE you aware of the fact that
Texas is bigger than Germany, with
Holland, Belgium and Switzerland
thrown in for good measure? We
have counties in Texas where such
countries as Denmark and Portugal
could be set down without touching
the edge anywhere. Texas is big
ger than New York, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, New
Jersey, all the New England States
and Ohio combined. II Norway
ard Sweden could be punched with
England, Scotland, ireland and
Wales, they wouldn't be enough
bigger than Texas to enable any
body to notice it. Texas could ac-
commodate the entire population
of the United States and be less
crowded than Connecticut is to-day.
Texas Is big-big in many ways.
Texas raises the biggest sweet po-
tatoes, the biggest onions and the
biggest steers in the world Texas
has more red-headed widows than
any other State in the Union. Tex

Telegraph System Brief

HOW THE MESSAGES ARE SENT
Prof. Hertz Was DiScOVerer

Gets Credit.
THE WAVES OF ELECTRICITY

Many correspondents are asking
for a description of how a wireless
! telegraph works. The fact of such
system has been known to every
body for years, but the means by
which messages are transmitted are
not generally understood. 1t is i'm
possible to go into details. 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 direction light in a series
Of undulating waves, which may
not only be measured, but defect
ed, polarized, and so on. Some idea
of this may be gained from the
we'll known fact that when a stone
ter, a series of circular waves ex-
tends in all directions. If any
floating objects come within these
waves, they are oscihated. ---- -------.
1t was the lamented Prof. Hertz
who discovered that electricity, like
light and heat, also moves in waves
which may be measured. Just pre-
cisely how these waves pass
through the atmosphere is not
wholly understood, but it is believ-
ed that they have some relation to
the ether of space, which is omni-
present and which is believed to
constitute all matter under differ
ent negative electrical conditions.
In wireless telegraphy q series of
Hertzian waves is set up by power
full electrical dynamos or batter
les, and these are discharged from
the top of a high mast or pole.
These waves extend in all direc-
tons, and-unless their force is
expended by distance-excite GER
tain effects in the receivers of wire
less telegraphy instruments within
the zone, Just as the waves dis
turb chips on a 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
receivers have been used and the |
process is now simpler than form
erly, but any successful transmits
sion of waves depends a good deal |
on the state of the atmosphere, |
electrical storms being disadvan-
tageous. Also when many wireless |
outfits are working in the same
zone, much confusion results and
often messages are transmitted
with great difficulty and sometimes
not at all. This may account for
some of the delays and confusions
Of the last few days.
To Marconi belongs the credit OF
a practical success of the
discoveries of others, but to Hertz
belongs the credit of making the
system possible.-[ Philadelphia In

ICEBERG DANGER
TO OCEAN SHIPS
In the North Atlantic is
Ever Near.
FLOATING AROUND FOR YEARS
Before Drifting Across the
Polar Basin Into the
Warmer Waters.
VARIOUS SIGNS OF PRESENCE

Next to fog, icebergs are regard
ed as the source of gravest peril to
vessels navigating the North Allan
tic. According to , all accounts
brought by incoming ocean steam
ers, this menace has been greater
during the last few weeks than in
any recent years. The presence of
a great number of icebergs in the
lane of transatlantic traffic just
now does not, however, necessarily
indicate any extraordinary condi-
tions in the arctic during the past
winter. According to the most re-
liable estimate of scientists, it re-
quires as a rule from three to four
years for an iceberg to drift across
the polar basin and reach that re-
gion of the Atlantic in which disas-
ter overlook the White Star giant
ess on her maiden voyage.
--- The greatest precautions are ia
ken on board the big ocean liners to
guard against collision with ice
bergs. Not only are the officers on
the bridge and the lookout in the
'crow's nest impressed with the
fact that they must exercise the
greatest vigilance when vessels ap-
proach the Newfoundland Banks,
where the danger from icebergs is
the greatest at this time of the
year, but the temperature of the
water is taken frequently, and any
striking drop indicated by the
thermometer is certain to be ac- |
cepted as warning against the |
presence of icebergs in the vicinity. |
This, and the lowering of the
temperature of the air-if one |
should happen to pass to the lee
ward of an iceberg-are about the
most reliable of all the danger sig
nails set against this peril. To the
eye, indeed, an iceberg is not easily
perceptible at night, even though
the weather should happen to be
clear and the moon, perchance,
shining. Most of the icebergs have
an intense white and blush hue,
which blends with moonlight in a
fashion that may confoound the
most seasoned and vigilant of ma Z
riners.
In a report issued by the Hydro
graphic Office in April, 1909. the
signs are enumerated as
indicating the proximity of ice:
Before the ice is seen from. the
deck the ice blink will often indi-
cate it's presence. This is readily
when it is known that
1t Is caused by the reflection of the
rays of light from the sun or moon.
On a clear day over the ice on the
horizon the sky will be much paler
or lighter in color, and is easily
tiistinguishable from that overhead,
so that a sharp lookout should be y
had and changes in the color of the
sky noted.
ION a clear day icebergs can be
seen at a great distance owing to
heir brightness, and at night ow-
ing to- their effulgence. During fog
sy weather they are seen through
he fog by their apparent black
ness, if such a term can be applied.
"They also can be detected by
