She Sees Herself Clad in

has never had herself. She sees
herself wearing creations" in
stead Of hand me- down suits,
sweeping into gilded 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 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 If
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

woman whose meager pay en-

the necessities of life and has
never given her any OF It's trills.

from all quarters of the sea a
congregation of vessels bent on a
message of deliverance.
1t is a revelation to us OF this
majesty of human thought. il
gives us a new suspicion OF the
maGnilicence inherent in the hu-
man mind. It widens for us the
chasm that divides between flesh
and humaness.
We may not all of us have the
genius of Marconi, but he was
man and so are we, so that in a
way his triumph is the triumph OF
the race and reflects a dignity In
which we are all of us sharers.
And then the other feature, too
subtle to be expressed by any
painters brush, is the splendid
humanity evinced by the scene.
The steamer which at the time OF
the Titanic disaster ignored its
humanitarian opportunity has
been the object of the righteous
Indignation of the entire world.
Around the Volturno, on the
contrary, were gathered ten
steamers, representing different
nationalities and varying inter
ests, who suspended temporary
their individual purposes, and, out
of the humanness of their sym
pathy. which everywhere is grow
ing warmer and sweeter with tho
years, surrendered themselves to
the relief Of the threatened VIC
Tins Of horrible disaster.
1t is beautiful commentary or
the widening sense Of human
brotherhood, and makes the II
ture look brighter by indicatirs
that we are all of us outgrowing
ourselves and broadening into Al

The Apparently Gay Life
Is Only a Bitter
Mockery.

1t is TO throttle memory, and
dull thought, so that they may
forget for an hour what they
once we're, and the sort of crea-
ture they are doomed to become.
1t is sadly true that there is
nothing else in the world so lit
tie gay as what Is termed the
gay life. Listen to it's laughter.
1t is mere noise, the cracking
of thorns under a pot, with no
ring of merriment in 1t. The
women who lead it never smile,
for there is no happiness there.
You will see on their faces fear.
and bitter mockery, and bold in
science, and jealousy and rage.
and every evil passion that can
tear the human heart. but you
will never see that look of calm
peace and content that shows
that a woman has got for her
souls desire, and that all is we'll
with her.
If you take the primrose path,
little sister, you may get a few
fine clothes. a little rich food, a
little luxury, but do not forget
that you will get other things

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 500
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 biography. They
could go round the earth in about
e-seventh of a second. This fact
is about TO be taken advantage of
in order to ascertain more accu-
rately than it 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 Eiffel Tower
in Paris and the Naval Radio Sta
ton at Arlington. near Washing
ton. These signals will probably
traverse the Atlantic in about
one-fiftieth of a second.

"A Wireless Triumph
By DR.. CHARLES H. PARKHURsT.

TNHERE is a. picture that to
the end of life will linger in
the minds of those who,
with the power OF a qulckened
imagination. read the story of the
recent burning of the Volturno---
the picture, namely, of the DOOM
ed vessel wrapped in flames,
dashed by the storm and sur
rounded by the ten steamers how
ering about her on their errand OF
mercy and of saving. No paint
ing could do the scene justice, but
in tens of thousands Of hearts
the event is portrayed in colors
that are unfading.
1t can not be adequately repre-
sented on canvas, for there are
two distinguished features that
no artists brush is sufficiently
delicate to delineate: one is the
scientific genius that rendered
possible the gathering together Of
such squadron Of relief.
That feature was the celebra-
ton, under most august circum-
stances, Of the triumph of wire
less telegraphy. 1t was eulogy
pronounced in terms to which no
articulate speech could approx
mate upon the genius of the great
discoverer. It was an instance,
almost unprecedented, of the abll-
ity OF the human mind to assert
its supremacy over nature and
to bend the energies OF nature to
the service and needs of man.
1t may be long time before
there will be a greater demon
stration of what is in man to dis
cover and to effect than was af-
forded when the operator aboard
the Volturno. touching the keys
Of his instrument, could assemble

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
who treads it may wear home
spun, but no other woman draws
her skirts away from her as IL
she was leper. She has the re-
spect and admiration of those
about her, and, believe me, little
sister, these are a 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 a 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
over which no shadow of a past"

Ancients Only Dreamed
We Dreamed First,
Then Acted.

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 powers
of the magicians of old? The
only difference is that the an
clients merely dreamed and we
first dreamed and then acted.
The imagination is the prime mo-
tor for both, but they saw its pic
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
wireless telephony at great dis
tances commercially successful.
1t is probable that several differ
ent systems will be perfected,
but the base of all is the same.
1t is always the electric waves
that carry the impulses transmit
ted from the human organs of
speech, ready to be retrans-
formed, when they reach their
destination, into articulate words.
The difficulties are purely mat
tiers of detail. There are Ameri-
can systems, German systems,
French systems, Italian, systems,
and all of them are more or less
successful.

THERE 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
hearer. 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.

Eiffel Tower Signals Ar
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, viii surely
seem far more wonderful when,
instead of mere Geographic 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. If 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.
