BOY PHOTOGRAPHED
WIRELESS Waves
Young Texan Made Discovery
by Accident While Expert
menting.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 3i.-Mar-
cus Goodrich. a sixteen-year-old high
school boy of San Antonio, apparently
has photographed wireless waves
really waves OF invisible light. That
seems to be the only explanation of
the record or picture on the photo
graphic plates that he has been using.
He believes that when his apparatus is
perfected photographs may be taken on
absolutely dark nights. the invisible be-
ing made visible, wireless messages be-
ing accurately recorded. He expects 10
produce soon an apparatus that viii,
transform the harmonies Of color into
harrnonies Of sound. SO that II will be
possible to hear a beautiful picture.
Goodrich has been experimenting with
chemistry and photography since he
was eleven years old; they are a pas
sion with him; but In his discovery
accident was a factor. Just previous to
his work on wireless waves he was try
Ing to perfect a device for sending
photographs by telegraph. He had
installed a platinum safety fuse In his
electrical apparatus to protect the
main fuse. lie noticed that part Of the
platinum fuse became white hot, and
moment afterward he found an ex-
act reproduction of the heated part on
Photographic plate that stood near 1t.
This started new train OF thought and
experiment.
With the aid Of John Rodriguez, a
wireless expert, he set up a wireless
sta ton and began work on a device TO
make the invisible visible.
Principle Explained.
Goodrich thus describes his work
and its results:
The base and principal foundation
of this process lies in the peculiarity
of selenium. which makes il a perfect
conductor of electricity when exposed
to light Whether the light is from
the visible end of the spectrum, or
from the end that has a light invis-
ibIe to the eye, makes no difference,
for it is light, and selenium is sensi-
tive to all light, visible or invisible.
In darkness, on the other hand, selen-
ium is Il non-conductOr OF electi icity.
Once this is understood the proc ess Is
vrey simple.
x selenium cell with a fat plane
surface is inserted in the camera IN
place of a plate. This cell is placed
in the circuit of positive wire from
a wet battery, SO that no electricity
can come over the positive wire with
out first coming through the selenium
cell Back of this. in an Opaque cab
met. is a platinum cell. which con-
sists of thirty fine platinum wires
arranged In the form of small
screen. each wire insulated from the
others. The right side of this plat
inum cell is connected directly with
the negative pole of the battery, SO
that each OF the little platinum wires
receives part of the current On the
left of the platinum cell is the posi-
tive wire coming from the selenium
cell, and connected with the platinum
cell in the same manner is the mega
tive wire.
In the same opaque cabinet with the
platinum cell. so IN direct line and op-
posite TO II, about three-Iu?rters of an
inch away. is placed IA highly sensitive

Mrs. Barrick soon came. She and
Jones entered the elevator. AS the
car neared the fourth floor she was
in the act of handing the detective
$40O in bills. Jehelka stopped the
car, flung the door open and grabbed
the money.

STORM IN NORTHWEST KILLS
TWO-INJURES MANY

Milwaukee, Wis.,, Oct. fla storm
which ragged throughout the North
west yesterday exacted a toll of two
lives and injured five others, while
the wind, cyclonic in velocity, de-
stroyed thousands of dollars worth of
property.
Two men were killed and nine
horses were cremated when light
ming struck a barn at Minot, NJ. D.
The farm owner was stunned, but
was rescued by his wife from the
burning building.
At Alton, near here, Mrs. Arthur
Jackson and three children and Mrs.
Leonard McCrea were seriously hurt
when their houses were blown down.
Wires are down throughout this
portion of the country, so the full
extent of the damage cannot be as
certained. A torrential rain accom-
panied the gale, followed by the first
snow in Milwaukee.

Lonely New Workers,

There are 100000 single men and
women in New York. OF these 100000
are men and the remaining 100000
women past their twenty.tlfth BIRTH
day.
The statistics have set ministers and
social workers thinking and wonder.
ing what they can do to bring those
isolated members of the human family
together. The chief reason for their
not being married is that they do not
have the opportunity of meeting. The
women work In the daytime and most
of them retire to hall bedrooms or at
the best to thirdstory fronts at night
The men also work in the daytime and
though the freedom of tho city is
theirs at night thousands of them are
lonely and would welcome place to
meet women OF their own sort.
Social centers, counting parlors,
night schools and settlement clubs are
among the means being used. but all
too ineffeotively according to the stag
gering figures to bring the lonely men
and women together.
