HOW WIRELESS WORKS.
y Fs" Suggestions as to the Way the
System Is Op~r Atsd,

System 10 Opsr atsd.
Many correspondents. says the Phila
delphia Inquirer. are asking for de-
scription OF how wireless telegraph
works. The fact of such a system has
been known 10 everybody for years,
but the means by which messages are
transmitted are not generally under
Stood IL is impossible to 90 into de-
tails' but a few suggestions are offered
winch 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-
tion light in II series of undulating
waves. which may not only be meas
ured, but detected polarized and 50
on Some idea Of this may he gained
IRON the well known fact that when II
stone is thrown into a smooth pool Of
water series OF circular waves eX-
tends in all directions. If any floating
objects come within these waves they
are oscillated.
III was the lamented Professor Hertz
undiscovered that electricity. like light
and heat. also moves in waves which
may Ice measured. Just precisely how
These waves pass through the atmos-
phere Is not wholly understood, but it
Is believed that they have some rela-
tlon To the ether Of space. which is
omnipresent and which is believed to
constitute all matter under different
negative electrical conditions.
In wireless telegraphy IL 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

less teegraphy instruments within the
zone, just as the waves disturb chips
on a 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-
ceiyers 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
disadvantageOus. 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 practical success Of the dis
coveries Of others, but to Hertz be
longs the credit of making the system
possible.

A WohlAM's APPEARANCE.
Lines Of 0iseentsnt and Merbidity
Spsii Even . Pretty eaes.


Many women forget that the mind
has 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 u woman writer in the
Chicago Tribune. No taste in clothes
or excellence in looks will give beauty
where discomfort and morbidity show
ON the face. Perhaps the only other
point to realize is that showiness and
cheap ornamentation are not good
taste and that simple line. with coed
accessories, whether the dress he cheap
or expensive. is always i'll 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 1t:
she belongs to one OF two classes
the naturally indolent and Indifferent
or the consciously superior. She IL
pretty hopeless in whichever class We
meet her, but when she patrOniZes aud
pities You she touches the limit of
human patience. Lucky for us If 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 he like one of those
mirrors in which everything Is magni-
fied-when you look mt her all your lit
tie vanities, all your harmless attempts
at beauty culture. will be thrown back
upon you as grievous sins.
"There 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
IL every day becoming less frequent,
and In its place there is growing up Il
pleasant camaraderie, a recognition Of
the fact that it is the duty of a wom-
an to make the best OF herself and that
getting into years only accentuates the
duty"

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW.

The corset for stout woman should
be large in the waist and low in the
bust, but long over the hips and fiat
over the abdomen.
Place piece of white blotting paper
under a vase containing flowers. 1t
will absorb any moisture which may
run down the vase, staining the polish
ed surface of the table.
Wash discarded suspenders and cut
into eight inch pieces, then sew on the
sides Of mattresses to use as handles.
They will be II great convenience in
turning the mattress.
Remove coffee or cream stains from
delicate silk or woolen fabrics first by
brushing the stains with gycerin and
then rnsing them in lukewarm water.
Later press the material ON the wrong
side with warm iron.
A glass water bottle when constantly
used soon becomes discolored. This
may easily be cleaned by pouring
little vinegar into the bottle and add
ing pinch Of salt Allow this to stand
for several hours, then rinse with clear
water.

in perpendicular plaits in front. stitch

TO her. a gold teaspoon got lodged ut

spoon missing after the ball. and the
fact caused great perturbation to the

The next spring the lady went to n

NICETlEs OF DINING ROOM.
Correct Way Of Arranging Table and
Of Sarvina Gussts.

There are otherwise most excellent
housewives who overlook various little
details in the matter of setting the
table" There is Il right way as well as
Il wrong way in this branch Of good
housekeeping as in everything else.
The placing Of the silver is n matter Of
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 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 and vegetable course and the 9TH
er for the salad course. If the soup or
bouillon is preceded by fruit cocktail
or little neck CLAIMS the spoon or fork
would be placed to the right of the
knives.
Dishes should be presented at 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 ut the left of Il lady, but not
always the lady ut 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
ease.

cabin on the river bank and do my

He proceeded to carry out this plan
and remained in his new quarters the
remainder of the day. 1t was dusk
when he appeared ut the farmhouse
for something to eat.
"Shes upstairs" volunteered Mrs.
Glidden. shes awfully young and
pretty. l 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 a 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 1t 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 stitie We're awakened by the
bit of landscape he had viewed
The next morning as he was seated
at 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 and saw young girl
carrying a tin pail filled with artists
materials running toward the cabin in
great alarm.
"Oh," she gasped, with a half sob,
save me. He'll follow me in here"
In an instant Orville's strong right
arm was about her shivering form.

She lifted white face
