SEND PHOTOS BY WIRELESS
Exports Say New System is Being
Perfected That Will Speed Up
the Transocean Service.

LcnGon.-Wireless messages will be
sent across the Atlantic end to other
parts OF the world by a Few system,
according to experts, within four
months. Not only will transmission
be much faster than by the present
systems, but it will be with such pre-
clsion that It will be possible to send
pictures by this means.
The new system has been taken up
by one Of the big European telegraph
companies and will be given thor
ough test by a syndicate organized
under the auspices Of the telegraph
company, SO far as the transmission of
wireless messages is concerned.
Stations are to be erected at Lyons
in France and at Washington, D. C.
and the inventor claims that he will
be able to send at the rate of 200
words minute.
The improvements consist in being
able to control continuous wave as
compared with intermittent waves by
the present system.
After the Franco-American line is
working the company intends to ex-
tend the system to the coast to Africa
and to the British colonies. The
British government has Investigated
it, but is apparently satisfied to let
some other nation test it before adopt.

outdoor sport, good for picnics, morn
ing visiting, etc.
The shirtwaist Is in one Of the
plainest models, and the seam running
down the shoulders and sleeves gives
it a touch of distinct novelty. The
plainness of the skirt is relieved at the
left side, where there is a cluster Of
side plaits buttoned over by the front
breadth cut into point. For hard
use, and later service, mems cloth or
serge would be best for the skirt and
cotton cheviot for the shfrtwaist. A
dress entirely of ramie linen would
also be good In this style, or II duck
or pique is found to be cheaper, 1t
could be used. Then, II the sewing Is
to be done entirely for autumn, the
mother thinking this very good time
for getting rid of the practical gar
ments. neither a skirt nor a shirt
waist style could be found more suit
able for school wear. Concerning the
autumn materials needed in this case,
pray remember that the first fabrics
are put forth in August, and as 1t
sometimes happens that they are lett
overs from last year they are general
ly cheaper than later on.
Let me conclude by saying that
ready-made women's wear is quite as
cheap as that for misses, and also
that many a garment seen is adapted
to house use all the winter long. Then
the footwear, selling so low, is very
handy to have in the house for an
other summer The uncut materials
can always be kept over, and there Is
many a cheap hat so durable and
charming that it fairly speaks Of next
year. At any rate, the smartest peo-
pie never rush" into autumn MILL
merry. They wear summer hats and
summer dresses just as long as it is
possible to wear them.

What Is believed to be the largest

The largest covers 260 acres. The

is usually about June IS. If the sea-

Intrinsic ltuht of Stars.

M. Nordmann of the observatory OF
Paris has made some interesting cal
culations of the intrinsic Eight of a
cumber of stars, based on the results
he had previously attained in regard
to their effective temperatures. The
brightness of a star, as seen from the
earth, does not depend wholly upon
It's size and distance. Thus NJ. Nord-
mann finds that Sirius and Vega emit
light, the brightness of which is six
million c. p. per square centimeter,
while at the other end of the scale
the light of Aldebaran amounts to
only $4,000 c. p. per square centime-
ter. The intrinsic brightness of Vega
Is, according to this calculation, nine.
teen times that of the sun. II Vega
were of the same size az Aldebaran
and at the same distance from the
earth. the former would appear to us
over 200 times as bright as the lat.
ter.
