One curious fact about wireless
telephony is that it carries the
voice almost infinitely quicker
than it could be transmitted by
sound, provided that sound could
be heard so far. A sound wave
would require more than three
quarters of an hour to go 600
miles through the air; an electric
wave goes that distance in one
three hundredth of a second.
Practically we may say that the
transmission is instantaneous.
The same thing is, Of course,
true Of simple signals transmitted
by wireless telegraphy. They
could go round the earth in about
one-seventh of second. This fact
is about to be taken advantage of
in order to ascertain more accu-
rately than 1t Is known at present
the longitude of Washington. Be
ginning in winter this year, and
continuing until April next, sig.
nails are to be exchanged for this
purpose between the Eiftel Tower
in Paris and the Naval Radio Sta
ton at Arlington, near Washing.
ton. These signals will probably
traverse the Atlantic in about
-flftieth of a second.

She Sees Herself Clad in
Clothes That Set Off
Her Beauty.

She sees herself dressed in the
fine clothes that would set off her
youth and beauty as a frame
does a pretty picture, the kind of
clothes that she's seen sold over
the counter to other women, but
has never had herself. She sees
herself wearing creations" in
stead Of hand me- down suits,
sweeping into gii6ed restaurants
where there are shaded lights,
and music, and other gorgeously
dressed women eating dainty
food.
She sees herself rolling about
in automobiles instead of hang
ing on to street car straps. She
sees herself eating her breakfast
in bed instead of punching the
time clock at s o'clock in some
store or office She sees ease and
luxury, and all the things that her
ardent youth Graves so passion
ately, waiting for her to take il
only she chooses the primrose
path.
And when she looks down the
other bend of the road, the
strait and narrow road, she
sees nothing before her but hard
travelling. She sees poverty, and
self denial, and hard work. She
sees herself growing old. and fad
ed, and gray like little Miss Smith
in the office where she works,
woman whose meager pay en-
velope barely enables her to meet
the necessities of life and. has
never given her any Of Its frills.
Or If she marries she sees her
self following in her mothers
footsteps, the poor, tired, family
drudge, with always a baby in
one hand, and a frying pan in
the other; the one OF the house
hold who bears the heaviest bur-
den, and wears the shabbiest
clothes, and works the longest
hours, and receives the least APP
probation.
And so the poor young girl.
with her pretty face, and the avid
desires of her youth for pleas
ure, stands at the cross roads
and asks herself which way he

Ancients Only Dreamed

Here, there, anywhere on the
surface of the earth other little
man-made demons seize upon the
speeding waves and change them
back again into the human voice.
Was anything equally marvellous
ever imagined about the power,

only difference is that the an

first dreamed and then acted.
The Imagination Is the prime mo-

lures without an effort to trans
form them into realities. while we
have made them substantial by
the aid of science.
Many inventors are working
upon the problem of making

Writes on
Mysteries Of Science
and Nature
Wireless Telephony, Now an ~
Established Fact, Will Make
1t Possible for the Human
Voice Soon to Travel Around
the World. 50
By GARRETT P. SERVISS

"HERE is no longer the
slightest doubt that the
time is coming. and per-
haps close at hand, when we shall
habitually talk to one another at
distances of hundreds, or even
thousands, of miles without the
intervention of any wires con-
meeting the speaker with the
nearer. Wireless telephony Is an
established fact, but the appa-
ratus still needs development be-
fore it can come into general,
everyday use and displace the ex-
listing telephone system.
There is something weirdly i'm
pressive in the thought of trans
ferring the feeble human voice
over mountains and seas. and
making it virtually encircle the
earth. Man speaks and his PLAN
ct hears! At his command a
little electric demon transforms
his voice into waves that traverse
the ether with the speed of light,
carrying the voice with them,
locked up in their undulations.
In less than one second and a
third they could bear it to the
moon. In about three minutes
they could carry it to the planet
Mars.

also. You will get tortured
conscience. and you will get
shame, you will get fear always
with you lest your beauty fade.
And also, little sister, you
shall know cruelty and abuse as
no other woman ever knows it,
for it is the way of men to break
their toys when they have wea-
ried Of them, And you shall
have a brief life span, for that
is the motto of the primrose
path, "a short life and a merry
one"
And If the primrose path is
not so alluring at short range as
it appears at a distance, neither
is the straight and narrow path
so hard and barren in reality as
it looks in prospect. The woman
WIN tIeduS 1t may wear nome
spun, but no other woman draws
her skirts away from her as If
she was leper. She has the re-
spect and admiration of those
about her, and, believe me, little
sister, these are better garment
in which to be clothed than the
silks and satins that a woman
has bought at the price of her
soul.
Above ALL she has her own self
respect, and that is the one thing
that is absolutely necessary to
any real happiness. AS long as
we can look ourselves in the face
with a clean conscience none of
us can be utterly miserable.
The girl who chooses the bet
ter way may look forward to the
supreme happiness of life, that
of being married to good man
who loves and honors her, and to
having little children into whose
clear eyes she is not afraid to
look, and to establishing a home

Eiffel Tower Signals Are
Received Far Out
at Sea.

Already the time signals from
the Eiffel Tower are received by
ships far out on the ocean. But
these communications, which en-
able the navigator to determine
his longitude with hitherto unat-
tainable accuracy, will surely
seem far more wonderful when,
instead of mere telegraphic dots
and dashes, the captain of ship
in mid-Atlantic hears a voice from
Paris, dropping down out of the
blue, and saying as if the speak
er were close by his ear: Twelve
o'clock at the Eiffel Tower!"
But we quickly become accus-
toned to marvels when they are
Of everyday occurrence. II we did
not, we should be wondering at
ourselves all the while. Our bod
les are as amazing as wireless tel
ephony, and our minds infinitely
more amazing.

Vice Commission Proposed.

Rep. Glasner came forward with
another purity proposition in the
shape of a resolution calling for the
appointment Of a vice commission
consisting of two members of the
house and one member of the senate
to investigate conditions in the state.
The resolution was inspired by the
report of State Labor Commissioner
Powers relative to immortality among
women. Attention was called to in.
quries made in other states affecting
social conditions. The resolution
calls for a sweeping investigation by
the summoning Of witnesses and a
thorough investigation. The propo-
sition contemplates a report to the
governor for recommendations to be
made by him to the next session of
the legislature.

DOdsOn's Liver Tone at Night Will
Straighten You Out by Morning.
CalOmen May Knock You Out of a
Days Work.
If you are a calomel user, next
time you are tempted to buy it ask
your druggist if he can absolutely
guarantee the drug not to harm you.
He won't do it because he CAN'T do
it.
But here is a perfect substitute
for calomel which the druggist does
guarantee-the famous Dodson's Liv-
er Tone. The Rice Drug Company
will refund your money without ques-
tion If you are not thoroughly sat
isfied.
Go to The Rice Drug Company,
whom you are acquainted with-and
find out about the great number of
people who are taking this remark
able remedy and feeling better,
keener, healthier and better able to
enjoy life than they ever were when
taking calomel.
Why? Because calomel is poison
one that may stay in the system,
and while seeming to benefit you
temporarily, may do harm in the end.
II you haven't felt these ill-effects
so far, it is because you are fortu-
nate enough to have strong con-
stitution.
Don't take the risk any longer. Get
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone (5Oc)
and note how easy and naturally it
cOrrects all bilious conditions, how IL
clears away that sick headache ano
coated tongue, how it sets you right
without ache or gripe. The most won
derful thing in the world for CEN
stipation.
| J! Ali this without the slightest inter-
| ference with your regular habits.
