HOW WIRELESS WORKS.
A Few Suggestions as to the Way the
system is Operated.

Many correspondents. says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. are asking for Il 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 Il 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 Il series Of undulatin@
waves, which may not only be meas
ured, but detected. polarized. and so
on. Some idea of this may be gained
from the we'll known fact that when Il
stone is thrown into smooth pool of
water series of circular waves eN-
tends in all directions. If any floating
objects come within these waves they
are oscilated.
1t was the lamented Professor Hertz
undiscovered that electricity. like light
and heat, also moves in waves which
may he 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 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 theil
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 anC
received somewhat on the plan of the
ordinary Morse code by wires, in thai
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 a good deal on the state Of
the atmosphere, electrical storms being
Instantaneous. Also when man!
wireless outfits are working in the
same zone much confusion results, ant
often messages are transmitted with
great difficulty, sometimes not at all.
To Marconi belongs the credit o:
making a practical success Of the dis
coveries Of others, but to Hertz be
longs the credit of making the system
possible.

Before he could politely decline this
protfer Mrs. Glidden began to read the
letter, which was in girlish vein.
She said that she longed for a place
where she could be quiet, some place
that was remote from neighbors, where
she could paint and dream at will;
that friend in passing the Glidden
farm had thought it would be just the
kind of place she craved and had writ
ten her about it.
Some of Orville's irritation vanished
upon hearing the letter. There was a
note of appeal in it, a reflection of his

A W0MAN's APPEARANCE.
Lines 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 Il woman writer in the
Chicago Tribune No taste in clothes
or excellence in looks will give beauty
where discomfort and morbdity 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 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 INDECENT 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 Il relative then
life has more than its average Of pin
pricks. She will be like one of those
mirrors in which everything Is magni-
tied-when you look at her all your lit
tie vanities, all your harmless attempts
at beauty culture will he 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 it
, is 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"

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
a wrong way in this branch Of good
housekeeping as in everything else.
The placing of the silver is a 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 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 and vegetable course and the 9th
er for the salad course. if the soup or
bollillon 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 at the
left hand of every guest beginning

are started on their progress around
the table at 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 Il rule that holds good with
or without company. Children learn i'll
this way by example and custom thar
the mother is to be considered first,
and with company this method of serv-
ing places the guests entirely at their

Discussion Helps Anyway

OF tremendous interest and i'm
portance will be the discussion by
the general conference of the Meth
cdlst Episcopal church at Minneapo-
lis of the propaganda prepared by a
special committee after four years
consideration. 1t Is proposed to put
this church, with a membership OF
3,235,000, on record for the wage
Garner
The propaganda calls for abolition
of child labor, reduction of working
hours to the lowest practicable point,
safeguarding Of the conditions of toll
for women and equitable division Of
the profits OF industry
For years this great church has
been preaching and praying for some
such things as these, but notwith-
standing this fact its conference
committee says that labor and social
conditions have become such that the
church must formally declare itself
and take prominent part in doing
things. Hence IL this representative
body of sincere men declare for
equitable division of the profits Of
industry" for instance, we may justi-
fably expect that the church will
adopt some rovel, direct and prac.
tlcal way for the advance Of such
propaganda.
When man Graves progress or re-
form he resorts to preaching, prayer
or politics. While many Of the good
men in that Minneapolis conference
may shudder over the mere sugges-
ton OF the slightest relation of their
church with politics it Is fact that
sacred history discloses several in
stances wherein the church played
politics for the sake of a cause not
one inch higher than that cantained
in the propaganda we have outlined
above.
