The First Messages Are Sent Just Five

The First Messages Are Sent Just Five
Minutes After Sailing.
The first regular wireless message is
sent out as the steamer slowly backs
from her pier. 1t is timed just five
minutes after sailing. The sharp crack
Of the sending apparatus is usually
drowned by the roar of the whistle
calling for n clear passage in mid
stream. All transatlantic steamers
send to the wireless station at Sea
Gate, while the coaStwise steamers
call up the station on top of one of the
skyscraperS on lower Broadway.
This is merely IL formal message. but
no wireless log would be complete
without it, writes Francis Arnold Col.
Inns in st. Nicholas. This first mes
sage is known rs the "T. r." No one
seems to know just why. The wireless
station replies as briefly as possible,
and the wireless operator shuts off.
Business soon picks up. Before the
passengers are through waving fare
wells some one has usually remember
ed forgotten errand ashore or decid-
ed to send wireless (aerogram is the

the wireless station. 1t is usually Il

bunk or two. Before the VOYAGE IS

become familiar with the station. for
1T is after all about the most interest
ing place aboard.
If no messages are filed for sending
the operator picks up the shore sta
ton and clicks off the name of his
ship-as, for instance. "Atlantas-niI
here" meaning nothing here"
Should the operator have any mes
sages to file he will add the number
for example, "Atlantas g." The re.
ceivtng station picks this up and re-
plies quickly. If it has no message to
send 1t will reply: 80. X. Nil here"
Should there be any messages to de-
liver it will reply, 80. X. c." Go
ahead
All the way down the harbor the
great ship is in constant communica-
ton, sending and receiving beIated
questions and answers. The paSsS1l-
gers, who have been calling their fare
wells from the ships side as the wa
tiers widen, are merely continuing their
conversations with the shores now

RELIGION AND YOUTH.

Religion must begin in youth.
l have often heard people say
that it Is not right to bring up
child in any religion: that the
child should be allowed TO decide
the question FOR himself when he
is mGturcd. Let me suggest that
the person who makes such q
statement Is either himself de-
ceived or is attempting 10 de-
ccivc some one else. One Of the
first principles of physics is that
nature abhOrS vacuum, and it
applies i'll morality. too, for the
person who is without religion is
filed with irreli@ion. The man
who ut twcnty-one does not be-
li2ve in GCd has already re-
nouICed him. who does not be-
lieve that the Bible is the word
of God has placed it among the
works Of man. The man who
at tweuty-one does not believe
Christ is divine has discarded
him rs n mere man. Foolish is
the parent who does not per-
ceive that responsibility rests
with the parent Tor the building
up of 4 child'S life.-William Jen-

a hatch and through the bottom Of the

The sunken steamer is resting on the
flats at the foot of Conover street,

slight list to starboard, and at present
only the tunnels, masts, the fore part
of the deck and the bridge house are

today for raising the steamer. Where
she lies there is no current. and 1t is
expected that it will be comparative
simple matter to place chains beneath
the bottom and raise the vessel by der

The accident that resulted in the sink

to Caracas, was raised carefully in a
sling, precautions having been taken
against its slipping out. The case in
