MEMPHIS, June 18.-Since the

Friends Of the gubernatorial candi-

to reckon with Mayor Crump. Ben

encouragement to any OF them, and

Before leaving this afternoon for a
fishing trip to Five Lakes, the Mayor

that strong undercurrent of bust

to predict that the Chattanooga

HOW WIRELESS
TELEGRAPH WORKS
SOUND, ELECTRICITY, Light AND
HEAT ALL MOVE IN THE
WAVES.

During the last few weeks we have
heard a great deal about wireless tel
egraphy, ard hundreds OF people have
confessed their ignorance of this mys-
terious system of transmitting mes
sages of mankind. On most any
street corner you could find the vii
iage oracle expanding and explaining
the dark mysteries of wireless and
nine ines out of ten he knew nothing
at all about it.
1t is quite impossible to describe
the details of wireless station SO that
novice will understand, but the
principle Of the thing is easily COM
pretended. 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 be measured, but can be de-
Elected, poiarized and so on. Some
idea Of this may be gained from the
we'll known fact that when stone is
thrG wn into a smooth pool of water
series of circular waves extends in
all directions. If any floating objects
come within these waves they are so
oscillated.
Il was the lamented Prof. Hertz
VINO discovered that electricity, like
light and heat, also moves in waves
which may be measured. Just pre-
cisoly how these waves pass through
the atmosphere is not whollyunder
but it is believed that they have some
relation to each other, which is omni-
present and which is believed to con-
stitnte all matter under different neg
alive conditions. In wireless telegra-
ply series of Hertzian waves is set
up ty powerful electrical dynamos or
batteries, and these are discharged
from the top of a high mast or pole.
These waves extend in all directions,
and miles their force is expended by
distance they excite certain effects in
the receivers of wireless instruments
within the zone, just as the waves dis
turb chips ON the pool. Messages are
sent and received somewhat on the
plan of ordinary Morse code by wires,
in That electrical impulses are regul
lated so as to spell words according
to a code.
In recent years many kinds of re-
ceive,s have been used and the PRO-
cess is now simpler than formerly,
but any successful transmission OF
waves depends a good deal on the
state of the atmosphere, electrical
storms being disadvantageous. Also
wnen many wireless outfits are work
ms in the same zone much confusion
results and often messages are trans
mittcd with great difficulty and some
times not at all. This may account
for some of the delays and confusion
of the last few days.
To Marconi belongs the credit of
making a practical success of the dis
coveries of others, but to Hertz be-
longs 10 credit of making the system
pos. BILE.
