WIRELESS OPERATORS ABILITY

A discussion which threatens to be- come acrimonious has arisen between experts in the merchant marine tele- graph service and United States naval officers who are responsible for the maintenance of the service on ships of the navy Naturally the naval men resent the imputatiOn that naval operators are less carefully selected and more inefficient than operators on transatlantic steamships and mer- chant ships generally
 The statement that the men who are intrusted with the manipulation of wireless appliances on the battle ships, cruisers and other units of the navy are subjected to rigid eXamina- tiOn as to efficiency is borne out by the facts. The chief wireless operator on one of the large battleships now on the Pacific station is a resident of Rochester, who obtained his cleo trical training entirely in the ROches- ter evening schools, which he left to join the navy when scarcely out of knickerbOckers. On the eve of sailing for the Far East the bOyish operator visited his home on a furlOugh and
Arizona republican., 1912-05-12

called upon one of his former even ing school instructors.
 In response to questions which naturally suggest q themselves. the young operator outlined tn eXaminl- tion which he was obliged to undergo before being assigned to his respOn- sible position in the wireless tele-
 graph room of the battleship. The
 examination was crucial in every re- spect. The examiners were not con
 tent with ascertaining the speed with
 which the candidate could send and receive message The questions GOV
 cred all the theories and practice in-
 terlving the art of wireless or radio
 intercommunication. not only, but delved deeply into the lads know ledge of the general principles oi electricity and magnetism as those principles are now understood and practiCed.
 It is understood that the eXamina ton of all wireless operators in the naval service is equally severe. Such being the case it is practically impos- sibIe for incompetent operators to hold responsible positions on the ships or in the land stations of the United States navy. If such examinations as the one to which the Rochester

THE WORK A WATCH DOES.
Small Wonder Its Mechanism Gives
 Out After Ten Years.

It is a matter of everyday occur renee for a person to say to his V atchmaker:
 Here is a watch which you sold me some ten years ago. II. has al ways gone well till lately, when 1t has taken to stopping without any apparent cause"
 The people who speak in this way little think of the amount of work watch has performed in this space of time and might be astOnished at the following figures:
 In ten years which includes two leap years. and consequently a total of 3.652 days, the hour hand has
 made 1904 and the minute hand S7 GAS revolutions The end of an aV- craze minute hand travels more than 10,S20 yards-more than six miles The second hand has made 5,25S, SS( revolutions, and it's extremity has traversed on the dial a distance oi 1 upwards of 123 miles.
