To strip wireless of its technicali-
ties and boil it down to the primal
constituents is not hard" said an ex-
pert who has made study of the
theory and knows the practice 1T
Is simply transference through space
OF waves OF electromagnetic energy.
when a wireless operator presses
a KEY spark jumps between two
pieces Of metal. These two pieces of
metal are connected with long wires,
called antennae, that are strung on
poles called aerials. The energy from
this spark is spread on these wires
and dffused In waves.
These waves have definite length,
which can be determined partly
through the power of the sending sta
ton, The station that is receiving
these Is able to put itself In tune to
receive wave lengths of the nature
sent out by the sending station and
exclude others"
Wireless relies on electromagnetic
waves as the source of its communi-
cation. These waves are sometimes
called Hertzian waves and were made
use Of for the first time In 1880 by
Prof Amos Dolbear of Tufts college.
He applied for patent on a wireless
system that had every essential of the
plan followed today. He got his pat

What these investigators found was that when
an electric spark jumped between two poles there
started in what the scientists call the ether.
magnetic force lines. These force lines detached
themselves and travelled through space at a
tremendous tate of speed. This speed has been
reckoned $4,000 miles second. 1t was also
learned that 'hese force lines went through space
In wave lengths that could be measured
Doctor Hertz found that the presence of these
waves could be detected across room by means
OF a loop Of copper wire. This was called the
Hertz loop The ends of this loop slightly
parted and it was found that the electric spark
one Side Of the room caused small spark to
pass between the ends of the Hertz loop. Sir
Oliver Lodge and William Marconi used the same
spark gap and connected one side of 1t to a copper
plate buried in the earth and the opposite side
to wires strung In the air When the apparatus
was constructed in this way the electric spark
caused oscillations the aerial wires and ere

The modern wireless station has appliances to
regulate the length Of the waves that carry the
messages. .
To prevent interference each ship installation
operates different wave length and the re-
ceivng instruments either on the ships the
land stations are able to cut In tune In those
lengths. The tuner enables operator to change
the wave lengths on the receiving wires, and so
get in touch with the office that is calling.
Al the inquiry the operators from the
Carpatha and the Titanic were repeatedly asked
what and c. @ means. The effect of these
messages was very clear to the operators. but they
were not entirely sure what the let ters themselves

HOW AMERICANS
ARE SWINDLED.

One hundred and twenty million
dollars was filched from the Ameri-
can people during the last fiscal year
by swindlers who operated largely
through the United States mails, ac-
cording to a statement just made in
a formal report to Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock. This was an in
crease of approximately 100000
in the aggregate of the previous
year.
OF those who are alleged to have
operated the fraudulent schemes
1868 were arrested by postofiice in
spectors. They included persons in
all walks of life, merchants and me-
chanics, politicians and professional
men, paupers and millionaires.
During the year, which ended
June 80 last, 452 persons were con-
victed and sentenced and 571 cases
are awaiting final disposition.
Postmaster General Hitchcock S
order to inspectors to collect evil
dence that would warrant criminal
prosecution of the swindlers gradu-
ally is building a wall of protection
against such frauds around the
American people. Before that the
punishment was only a fraud order
forDlddlng the delivery OF mail to
such operators, who worried but lit
tie. They merely changed their
names, addresses and title of their
businesses" continued their opera
tions until another fraud order
caught up with them.
The report that these fraud mani
pulators who usually exploit bogus
mines, fake remedies and worthless
lands, constitute a distinct class of
law-breakers. Among the wealthy
offenders who have been caught by
the inspectors, according to the Post
master Generals report, are Grimm
ais who have posed as respectable
citizens, leaders in their communi-
ties and personages in the highest
social and business circles. Some
of them are millionaires, enriched by
| their plunder. Some of these men
are now serving prison sentences.

take advantage of them in anything
Nearly all of them do their best to
help us out whenever the market is
oversupplied with stuff we have.
We try to have our stuff clean
and attractive, carried in a clean
wagon, which we freshen up by
painting occasionally. While our
team is not fancy, yet our horses
are well fed and substantial looking.
My brother dresses as a business
man would on such trips, wearing a
clean duster, also sleeve protectors
while unloading.
Our methods of marketing have
created a demand for our stuff
among the consumers, many times
almost obliging the retailers to get
our goods. The storekeepers often
ask where such and such of our
stuff is going to be unloaded, so they
will know where to go to get it.
Working up a reputation, as l have
mentioned, pays, not only in MAX
ing a ready demand for the goods,
but also in prices received. We Of

GIYCERINE.

May be put to innumerable uses in
the household.
1t is especially useful for laundry
purposes. Try putting two table
spoons of pure glycerine in the wa
ter in which soiled blankets or any
other all-wool fabrics are to be i'm
mersed.
1t is also useful in the washboiler
when the clothes are boiled, two
tablespoonsfuls being a sufficient
quantity to each boiler.
1t Is said to make tables and floors
white when used in scrubbing and
makes the water soft, having a bene-
fetal effect on the hands as we'll in
doing this work
Shoes which have become wet will
not harden if a little glycerine is
rubbed into them after they are dry.
In making Jelly or preserves one
tablespoonful of glycerine to each
pound of fruit will prevent a sugary
coat forming on top, and it is con-
sidered an improvement to add a
little glycerine to any fruit which is
stewed.

considered that factor that you speak
of with the idea of getting hour for
hour out of the men"
Following this Mr.. Worthington
introduced a number of exhibits to
show the comparison in pay of con-
ductors, firemen and trainmen, with
the wages of the engineers. In sub
mitting the table Mr.. Worthington
said: THE object of that table is
three-fold:
Il. Mr.. Stone has made the claim
that the wages of the engineers have
not been increased in the same ratio
as other classes OF service. The
table shows clearly that the engin-
GERS have gone right along, and
shows about the same increase from
time to time as the conductors, and,
in most cases, a higher ratio of in
crease than other classes of service.
"2. This table clearly indicates
that the locomotive engineer is the
highest paid skilled workman in the
railroad service.
"3. If it should be decided that
notwithstanding the fact that the
engineer is the highest paid skilled
workman, that he is entitled to
greater compensation than he is now
receiving, it would be difficult to sat
isfy the other employees in other
grades of service who receive much
less compensation, that they are not
entitled to a proportionate increase" ."
The Commissioners, together with
the railroads witness, INDUCED in
considerable discussion as to the diff
ference in the pay of railroad en-
ployes in the Western and Southern
groups, as compared with the East
ern ErOuD.
