Good Old Santa Goes
To Many Odd Places

~ GOD old Santa Claus looks in
upon pretty nearly everybody
III at Christmas time and the fes-
tival Of which he is patron is
celebrated in some very odd ways and
out Of the way places in our country.
At Ellis island, in the harbor of New
York, on Christmas day several hun
dred children, with their parents,
usually await debarkation on the
shores Of America. There is a null
titude of German kinder" of Italian
''bambinos" and of youngsters Of
every nationality, as much interested.
all of them, in Christmas doings as
any Yankee young folks could possibly
be. 1t is indeed an occasion of great
excitement for them, inasmuch as the
missionary societies have provided for
these humble aliens wealth of good
cheer and with the help of donations
made for the purpose, the day is rem
dered joyful for all, both young and
old. toys being plentifully distributed
among the little ones.
The loneliest places in the world are
some of the lighthouses which our
government maintains along the coast
for the protection of mariners. Yet
Santa Claus finds his way to them.
and in his honor a feast, even though
it be a humble one, is held. 1t may
be that the barren rock which the
lighthouse marks affords room enough
for the keeping of a dozen chickens.
the latest of which are suitably sacri-
feed.
But even this is not practicable in
such a spot as Boon island. off the
coast of Maine, a dangerous bit Of
terra firma which is continually swept
by the waves Only a few years ago,
so the story goes, little girl four
years of age, daughter of the keeper
of Boon light, was so distressed be-
cause her father had been prevented
by continual storm from going to the
mainland for the customary Christmas
goose that she stole out of the light
house at night and knelt in a sheltered
spot to pray.
Dear Cod" she said, please send
us a goose for our Christmas dinner"
Hardly had she spoken the words
when great wild goose flew Gas some
times happens in such places) against
the big lantern above and fell dead at
her feet, to be promptly carried in and
presented to the family as bird lit
orally sent from heaven.
Uncle Sam maintains about fifty
lightships along the seacoasts and on
the lakes to mark dangerous shoals.
Lonely indeed are the shippers and
crews of these vessels. which. like the
tabled phantom ship. pursue voyages

The Rainbow.

We habitually think of the rain cloud
only as dark and gray; not knowing
that we owe to it perhaps the fairest
though not the most dazzling, of the
hues of heaven. Often in our English
mornings the rain clouds in the dawn
form soft, level fields, which melt i'm
perceptibly into the blue; or, when of
less extent, gather into apparent bars,
crossing the sheets of broader clouds
above; and all these bathed through
out in an unspeakable light of pure
rose color, and purple, and amber, and
blue; not shining, but misty soft; the
barred masses when seen nearer, COM
posed of clusters or tresses of cloud,
like floss silk, looking as if each knot
were a little swaith or sheaf of lighted
rain.-John Ruskin
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1913-12-10
GoIdschmidt Wireless.

According to a writer in the engi-
neering supplement of the London
Times, the Goldschmidt high frequen-
cy generator has brought long-dis-
lance wireless telephony measurably
nearer. With this generator it is a
comparatively simple matter to con-
troll the oscillations by a nicrophone.
The method is described as depending
on the simultaneous use of two gen.
orators running slightly out of step,
or asynchronously, the microphone
currents affecting the field excitation
of one of them. Any slight boosting
up of this field is just sufficient to
bring the two into step, with the re-
suit that an instantaneous and large
rise of current is generated for charg-
ing the aerial" 1t is also added that
preparations are nearing completion
for a demonstration of automatic
telegraph over a distance of some
1000 miles between Hanover and
Tuckerton.'
