Not a New Scientific Discovery

A recent number of the Scientific American, in describing a series of elaborate tests in fitting soldiers shoes, has this to say. regarding what it calls a unique method of adapting the shoe to the foot:
 The method now adopted by the army for breaking in new shoes and making them conform to all the little quirks of individual feet resulting in a perfect fit, is unique. After the shoes are fitted to the soldiers feet they are made to stand in water to their shoe-tops until the leather is thoroughly soaked, then they are marched around until the shoes have dried on their feet. when forever after the new footwear is as comfortable as the proverbial old shoe This may seem a somewhat heroic method, but in practice it is found thoroughly eff
 fective."
 The term unique" in the sense of
 being new, is used unadvisedly in this connection, for the method of adapting footwear to the peculiarities of the foot harks back at least half a cen tury to the time when boots were generally worn. The ready made boots and shoes of the Civil war period were far from being the scientifically made and carefully finished fabrics of the present day, and even custom made" boots and shoes left much to be desired, from the present stand point. It was a fairly common prac- tice for country lads who had been l fitted with comparatively coarse boots or shoes at the village store to take
 the first opportunity to wade in water
 with them, and then allow them to l dry on the feet.
 The experiments of the army board 1 in providing comfortable footwear for i soldiers appear to have had good re suits, but it can scarcely be said that
 the board has invented the method of fitting the shoe to the foot by soak ] ing it and allowing it to conform to the foot by the drying process.

A man was brought to the insane asylum yesterday laboring under a hallucination that his name was Roosevelt and that he was a candidate for the presidency. Since last Mon day night. when Col, Roosevelt passed through Yuma without stopping, that town has not felt friendly to Bull Moose or people who imagine they are Bull Moose. They evidently took out their spite on this unfortunate individual.

No one seems to realize better than Magistrate Scott, of Philadelphia that this is an age when the young have come to their own. A patrol man, who, probably, wouldn't be able to see a saloon openly selling liquor
 in violation of the Sunday closing law, brought before the magistrate a young man whom he had detected in the act of kissing his fiancee good night in the street, and the court dismissed the criminal with these words, which, of course, all right thinking young folks will want to place in a gilt frame: If a good, clean young man must hide his head under a bucket or crawl under a barn when he wants to kiss a nice, sweet girl, then I say it's about time for Gabriel to tOot his horn and set off tie big blast" Somehow or other, modern assaults on the ancient and honorable institution of kissing only serve to establish it more firmly.

great measure on the success of those already

From Arlington the north Atlantic ocean can

he is able to send and receive fifteen words
minute he is stationed at receiving booth, where
he can have actual experience. Two weeks are
allowed for review before the final examination
Before actual wireless work is taken up by the
students each one goes through short course in
the ground work OF electrical equipment. He
starts at the blacksmith shop, where he learns to

ITO strip wireless of its tecnnicali-
ties and boil it down to the primal
constituents is not hard,' said an ex-
pert who has made a study of the
theory and knows the practice 1T
is simply transference through space
of waves Of electromagnetic energy.
when wireless operator presses
key, a 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 diffused in waves.
.sThese 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 it's 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
ent in 1886, which was two years be-
fore DR.. Hertz's discoveries.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.

Small pieces of toilet soap too small

and when sufficient amount is col
lected boil with water until dissolved
Use this liquid soap for the shampoo
and there never will be the possibility
Of having small particles left in the
hair. This Is an excellent soap for
the children to use, and they like 1t,
too, especially the boy with the grimy
hands.
Milk that is slightly scorched may
be redeemed by putting it into clean
dish and letting it stand in cold
water.
good way to warm rolls or muf-
fms: Lay cloth in a colander or a
sieve, and place the rolls in it over
the teakettle; the water can be boil
ing for the tea or coffee and the rolls
heating at the same time
Every cellar should have partition
or closet shut off from the rest, where
the potatoes. fruit and perishable
foods may be kept at temperature
below fifty.
A most dainty dessert and one
which, IL the materials are at hand,
may be prepared in a short time is
the following: Peel and cut in halves
sufficient peaches for the number to
serve. Whip cream, sweeten and fla
vor and few marshmallows cut into
quarters.
Another unusual peach dessert is
this: Place the halves of very ripe
peaches on slices of angel cake and
pour over sweetened whipped cream,
Do not tax the brain after a hearty
meal, as the blood is all needed in the

appropriate dessert
Asparagus is said to be an excel

such after effects as many Of the rheu-

When cooking beans for Boston
baked beans, always soak them over

Beans should be baked at least eight
hours in a moderate oven. Keep them

good flavor to pot of beans. Many
like an onion baked with them for

What these investigators found was that when
an electric spark jumped between two poles there
were started in what the scientists call the ether
magnetic force lines. These force lines detached
themselves and travelled on through space at a,
tremendous rate OF speed. This speed has been
reckoned at 1885, 900 miles second. 1t was also
learned that these 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 loop of copper wire. This was called the
Hertz loop. The ends Of this loop were slightly
parted, and 1t was found that the electric spark
on side of the room caused a 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 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
ated wave that could be detected at a consider
able distance.
The modern wireless station has appliances to
regulate the length Of the waves that carry the
messages
To prevent interference each ship installation
operates on different wave length and the re.
ceiving instruments either on the ships or the
land stations able to cut in or tune In those
lengths The tuner enables an operator to change
the wave lengths on the receiving wires, and so
get in touch with the Office that is calling.
At the senate inquiry the operators from the
Carpathia and the Titanic were repeatedly asked
what o s and @ means. The effect of these
