INCE July time signals,
: giving the exact hour =.
- determined by astronomi-
cal observation, have been radi
ating through the air from the
lofty Eiffel tower, in Paris,
speeding in all directions with
the velocity OF light, and all
that people who want to keep
their clocks and watches regu-
lated in accord with the steady
motion of the earth on its axis
have to do is TO capture these
flying signals with a wireless
telegraph receiver attached to
telephone.
Away off in Africa, in Algiers
and Tunis, the invisible electric
waves are caught with perfect
ease, and ships at sea, off the
French coast, can take them at
will, and thus regulate their
chronometers and ascertain their
position with an accuracy hith
erto unattainable.
This is truly scientific magic.

1t Is Like Watch Wheels
Cleared to Rotating
Earth

1t is very much as if the
wheels of your watch were
geared for a moment to the ro-
tating earth in order to correct
their rate, for the whole thing
is done automatically. The pen
dulum of a special clock in the
observatory of Paris "a clock
whose running is kept accurately
in accord with the rotation Of
the earth-periodically closes a
circuit, which instantly actuates
the wireless apparatus in the
Eiffel tower and thus sends forth
an electric voice, travelling with
a speed which would suffice to
carry it seven times round the
earth in a single second, and
which says in radio-telcgraphic
language, 40 a. m.,' or mid
night" as the case may be.
For hundreds OF miles around,
in every direction, this mysteri-
Gus voice drops out of space and
can be heard in any telephone
attached to wireless receiver.
Beginning three minutes before
the automatic transmission of the
hour is made, set of warning
signals is sent out, by listening
for which the receiver may be
prepared to note with great ac-
curacy the difference between
the time indicated by his watch
and that given by the observa-
tory clock. A practiced observer
can make the correction to the
tenth of second.
Even home made wireless re-
ceivers suffice for picking up

So Long As the Fundamental Feat

President Wilson willing to accept
substantial amendments to the ad-
ministration currency bill in the hope
OF securing speedy action on the mea-
sure in the senate committee. support
ers Of the administration today grew
optimistic over the chances for the
passage OF the measure before the
end OF the extra session of congress.
The President himself in a letter an
nounced his willingness to consider a
proposal for a recess OF the house. be-
cause he said a conference with mem
bers OF the senate committee led him
TO believe the bill would be report ed
10 the senate the frst week in 10

session.
Republican members OF the commit
tee. and Senator Hitchcock. OF Ne

this plan as too optimIsuc. ~; other
members OF the committee said they
hoped TO be able 10 live up 10 the
Presidents expectations.
Amendments Not Opposed.

serve banks, fixed by the administra-
tion bill at y. and the removal OF the
secretary of agriculture and the comp
troller of the currency from the Fed

troll the new currency system. were
the amendments which the President
let il be known he would not oppose.
Witnesses before the senate commit
tee have almost unanimously contend
ed for these amendments. and ma.
jority OF the committee is believed TO
favor them.
