HOW WIRELESS WORKS.
A Few Suggestions as to tho Way the
System Is Operated.

A Few Suggestions as to tho Way the
System Is Operated.
/ Many correspondents, says the Phila
delphla Inquirer, are asking for de
scription Of how wireless telegraph
works. The fact Of such system has
been known to everybody for years,
but the means by which messages are
transmitted are not generally under
stood 1t is impossible to go into de-
tails, but 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 direc-
ton light in series of undulating
waves, which may not only be meas
ured, but detected, polarized, and so
on. Some idea of this may be gained
from the well known fact that when a
water series of circular waves eX-
tends in all directions. If any floating
objects come within these waves they
are oscillated.
1t was the amented Professor Hertz
undiscovered that electricity, like light
and heat, also moves in waves which
may be measured. Just precisely how
these waves pass through the atmos-
phere Is not wholly understood, but it
is believed that they have some rela-
ton to the ether Of space, which is
omnipresent and which is believed to
constitute all matter under different
negative electrical conditions.
In wireless telegraphy series OF
Hertzian waves is set up by powerful
electrical dynamos or batteries, and
these are discharged from the top Of a
high mast or pole. These waves ex-
tend in all directions and-unless their
force Is expended by distance-excite
certain effects In the receivers of wire
less telegraphy instruments within the
zone, just as the waves disturb chips
on 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 code.
In recent years many kinds Of re-
ceivers have been used, and the proc
ess is now simpler than formerly, but
any successful transmission Of waves
depends good deal on the state OF
the atmosphere, electrical storms being
Instantaneous. Also when many
wireless outfits are working in the
same zone much confusion results, and
often messages are transmitted with
great difficulty, sometimes not at all.
To Marconi belongs the credit OF
making a practical success of the dis.
coveries Of others, but to Hertz be
longs the credit Of making the system
possible.

Wash discarded suspenders and cut
into eight inch pieces, then sew on the
sides Of mattresses to use as handles.
They will be a great convenience in
turning the mattress.
Remove coffee or cream stains from
delicate silk or wooden fabrics first by
brushing the stains with glycerin and
then rinsingtthem in lukewarm water
Later press the material on the wrong
side with warm iron.
A glass water bottle when constantly
used soon becomes dscolored. This
may easily be cleaned by pouring n
little vinegar into the bottle and add
ing n pinch of salt. Allow this to stand
for several hours, then rinse with clear
water.

WOrnan's SectiOnoOf the Paper
A WOMAN'S APPEARANCE.
Limos Of Discomfort and Morbidity
Spoil Even a Pretty Face.

Limos Of Discomfort and Morbidity
Spoil Even a Pretty Face.
Many women forget that the mind
has a stranger effect on appearance
than any external attention. The walk
OF the hopeful, cheerful woman will
be alert and youthful.
The first secret Of good appearance
is to keep sane and pleasant outlook
on life, says woman writer In the
Chicago Tribune. No taste In clothes
or excellence in looks will give beauty
where discomfort and morbidity show
OH the face. Perhaps the only other
point to realize Is that~showlness and
cheap ornamentation are not good
taste and that simpleNline with good
accessories, whether the dress be cheap
or expensive. Is always in good taste.
The woman who never makes the
best OF herself is still with us, though.
thank goodness, ever In increasing
numbers. AS one writer expresses It:
"She belongs to one Of two classes
the naturally indolent and Indifferent
or the consciously superior. She Is
pretty hopeless in whichever class we
meet her, but when she patroniZes and
pities you she touches the limit of
human patience. Lucky for us IL the
superior one be only friend or ac-
quaintance. If she be a relative then
life has more than its average of pin
pricks. She will be like one Of those
mirrors in which everything is magni-
fied-when you look at her all your lit
tie vanities, all your harmless attempts
at beauty culture. will be thrown back
upon you as grievous sins.
''rhere could be no more unjust atti-
tude than that Of critical hostility from
one woman to another because Of an
effort to make the best Of looks and
clothes and circumstances. Luckily 1t
is every day becoming less frequent,
and in its place there Is growing up a
pleasant camaraderie, recognition of
the fact that it is the duty Of wom-
an to make the best Of herself and that
getting into years only accentuates the
duty"

NICETIES OF DINING ROOM.
Correct Way of Arranging Table and
of Serving Guests.


There are otherwise most excellent
housewives who overlook various little
details in the matter Of setting the
table" There is right way as well as
wrong way in this branch OF good
housekeeping as In everything else.
The placing OF the silver IS n matter II
individual preference though custom
that Is more often observed than any
other is that of placing the knives and
spoons to the right OF the plate and the
forks TO the left. For a simple dinner
TO the right OF plate would be placed
the meat knife and butter spread, then
the soup or bouillon spoon and TO the
left two forks, one serving for the
meat aud vegetable course and the 9th
er for the salad course. If the soup or
bouillon is preceded by fruit cocktail
or little neck clans the spoon or fork
would be placed to the right Of the
knives.
Dishes should be presented ut the
left hand of every guest beginning
with the first course with the lady at
the right Of the host and then passing
In regular order as the guests are seat
ed After the first course the dishes
are started on their progress around
the table at the left OF a lady, but not
always the lady at the right OF the
host, for the same person must not al
ways be left to be helped last.
There are many homes Where the
rule obtains OF serving the hostess first,
and this is a rule that holds good with
or without company. Children learn In
this way by example and custom that
the mother Is to be considered first,
and with company this method of serv-
ing places the guests entirely at their
ease.

The Lost Golden Spoon.

A lady attended state ball in n
dress the skirt of which was arranged
In perpendicular plaits in front. stitch
ed across at intervals. and, unknown
to her, n gold teaspoon got lodged at
supper in one Of these pocketlike folds
in the cloth. OF course there was one
spoon missing after the ball, and the
fact caused great perturbation to the
official in charge Of the gold plate.
The next spring the lady went to n
drawing room In the dress she had
worn ut the state ball, and as she bent
low before her majesty the plaits of
her skirt expanded, and the gold spoon
fell ut the queens feet.

OLD MAN OF THE SKIES.
A Certain Cluster Of Stars Are Sub
ject of lroquos Story.

The Iroquois point out to their chill
dren cluster of stars which they call
the "old man" White people do not
always know why it Is. They tell this
story Of his reaching the sky, or the
great blue wigwam:"
An old chief was tired Of life and OF
his people. He took his bundle and
walking stick and went to the highest
bluff. There he sang his death chant
His people followed, but waited at the
foot OF the bluff. While they were
watching they saw him slowly rise
into the air, his voice sounding fainter
and fainter. The spirit of the four
winds raised him to the great star
lodge" He was given a place among
the stars.

After much skirmishing and securing
of the country Murray found what he
thought he wanted and wrote his
friend to come on. (

met him ut the station in his big red

the car swooped down upon white
house nestled among the trees.
Murray helped him carry his belong
lngs into the big, airy bedroom and
then returned to town, with curious
smile lighting his face
The place proved Ideal for Orville's
purpose. The farmer and his wife
were quiet people, little given to
speech They never disturbed him
when he was at work even to the ex-
tent of summoning him to a meal.
dWhen hunger drove him from his work
no matter what the hour might be,
food was prepared without an objec.
ton. A beautiful winding river with
incurving shores swept through the
farm, and here Mt eve Dick Orville was
wont to repair for inspiration. Under
these blissful conditions his Ideas de-

interrupts my work in any way we can
ask Mrs. Allen to take her In. They
have other boarders, and imagine she
wouldn't get the quiet there that she
so evidently wants. I'll tell you what
I'll do. I'll move my writing table and
books and things down to the little
cabin on the river bank and do my
work there"
lie proceeded to carry out this plan
and remained in his new quarters the
remainder OF the day. 1t was dusk
when he appeared at the farmhouse
for something to eat.
"She's upstairs" volunteered Mrs.
Glidden. "She's awfully young and
pretty. | told her | had gentleman
boarder who came here to be alone,
and she said she wouldn't disturb you
In the least"
But Orville was intent on compli-
Gated situation in his book and paid no
heed to what his landlady was saying.
Three days and nights interviewed
without an encounter Of the two would
be hermits. Once Orville came upon an
easel down in the orchard. He paused
before it for some time, lost In admira-
ton Of the talent displayed. Then he
walked on to the river. That night he
was unable to write. Memories he was
striving to stihe were awakened by the
bit of landscape he had viewed.
The next morning AS he was seated
Mt his writing table in the cabin max
ing heroic efforts to concentrate his
thoughts on his work he heard the
sound as of some one running. He
went to the door aud saw a young girl
carrying tin pail filed with artists
materials running toward the cabin In
great alarm.
"Oh," she gasped, with a half sob,
save me. He'll follow me in herew
In an instant Orville's strong right
arm was about her shivering form.
"Kathie! Would l let any one or
anything harm your"
She lifted white face.
"Oh, Dick! You? why-you are not
Mrs. Glidden's boarder-ths one I've
been hiding fromT
Eyes, but tell me what frightened
YOU"
'The bull! He chased me down here
through the meadows"
Oryille placed her in a chair and step
ped outside. In moment he returned
with the pail Of paints and brushes
Its all right, Kathie," he said reas-
suringly; "the pail, supposed to contain
nourishment, was the attraction. The
gentle creature / found smiling suspi-
ciously and disapprovingly at your
paints was young, hornless thing
commonly known as a mulley cow"
"Dick," she said family, did Tom
Murray by any chance know you wsrs
here?"
TON Murrayl Why, he found me
this place. l wrote him to look me up

him / wanted farmhouse where I
could be quite alone and paint Dickv'
Dear, Tom was far wiser than we.
Shall we profit by his vision and let his
plan work out as he intended Can't

Later, when Mrs. Glidden saw her
two boarders coming slowly up from
the fields, she sagely remarked to her
spouse:
