In some sections of Africa the drum
is used to convey messages from camp

read its beat such as the telegrapher
reads his dots and dashes Civilized
people as they progress use spoken

WIRELESS FOR RAILROADS..

New Work. Times: It VIC may trust
Ehe predictions uf MIR. IT, Is. Foley.
he I.ac!>awunna's superintendent nj
telegraph. aud Mr. David Sarn"ff,
chief inspector of tho Martoni COM
pany, wireless service on trains Will
boon bc an accomplished fact. The
Eests conducted las, Sunday on the
Lackawanua Limited demonstrated
hat wireless messages car he sue
cessfully sent and received by a train
running tfty miles an TOUR. Tho an
periments were made on the route hc-
fwecn Scranton INC R~insharnpton.
These cities are SiNty miles apart, but
while tho train was between tho W
stations it was always in communica-
ion by wireless with one or the other
Of them. Thirty miles cast of scran-
Tor the regular conductor was taken
IL. lSlt there was no delay. \ wire
ess message was sent forward to the
railroad superintendent. and when
the train reached the station , relief
conductor was waiting. At one stage
Of the Journey h train became
crowded and the conductor decided
that an extra coach was needed. With
out stopping at a station to send q
message by telegraph, he notified the
wireless operator. and when tho train
rcached the next station an extra car
was waiting, ready for immediate
coupling.
The adaptation of wireless service to
moving trains has still to be perfected.
But Mr.. Foley is sure that The diff
culties can he eliminated:
In my opinion tho wireless will rev.
o%futionize railroadins. We won't do
the rcvclutionizing this week. maybe
not this month, but the time is COM
ing, and it is not far distant, when
the wireless telegraph on trains will
make the safety and convenience of
railroad travelling 100 per cent greater
than today. And as a preventive of
accidents 1 think the wireless will
prove of the greatest value.
The use Of wireless in the operation
and control Of signal systems has
been tried and proved on a few Euro
pean railroads. The German Impe-
rial state railway near Berlin uses
the Railophone signaling system.
which, its inventors claim, makes the
passing of a danger signal impossible
by giving three distinct arms to
the engineer. and by an automatic ap-
phcation of the brakes when the
fourth signal is disregarded. But the
experiments conducted by Mr.. Foley
and Mr.. Sarnoff go much further.
They represent the first attempt to
send actual word-messages from a
moving train Last Sundays tests
were SO successful that Mr.. Foley is
convinced that "the only thing re-
CURED to perfect the service is an ad-
justment Of the instruments" on trains
and stations until they are in tune.

versation, expresses himself in a con-
nected, rational manner. with any
thing like an appropriate use of words,
is sadly in the minority.
Aside from the fact that one does
not like to hear such a good thing as
a good language wasted, neglected or
misused, this habit of slovenly speech
has a bad influence on thought. Clear
thinking and clear speaking go to-
sether . There must a thought behind
the spoken word, or the word cannot
be uttered. But the habit of putting
thought into correct words i'll itself
aids i'll fixing the habit of orderly
thought. The person whose language

fences. drooled out. is not APP to get
far beyond that stage in his thought.

THE /: 2 TRAIN.
Copyright. 1918. By ".

Mr.. Logan stood at the window,
a~nX1ously watching for his wife. Her
absences were not frequent. 1t had
been a surprise not to find her at
home when he returned; and it was
with distinct relief that he espied her
coming toward the house, one baby
on her arm, n clinging to her skirt
nave noticed that she walked YEARLY
and that the. baby seemed heavy. Mr..
Logan did not notice. However, he
went to meet her and took the latest
Logan readily enough.
Lands" said Mrs. Logan, 81 didn't
know how tired 1 was. 1 believe Ill
rest a spell fore I get supper"
They were turning in at the gate
as h spoke, and in loosening the
catch, Mr.. Logan was spared answer
ing. But once inside he put thu baby
down on the couch and turned to
his wife. II guess you'll get time to

Mrs. Logan did not answer him nor
glance toward. him. Instead she pick
cd the heavy baby up. carried him up.
stairs. and laid him on her own bed.
SHE was as weary IS the baby, as
anxious to get to sleep as he had been.
All h wanted was TO get a bite Of
supper for her husband and the chill
dren-Sle didn't want any herself
and creep into bed as quickly as pos
sfble. And now the laundering. evil
train was bringing the usual uninvit-
ell guests.
She didn't want to see them. She
didn't want to see any one. not for
hours and days and weeks! She
wanted to lie abed In the morning AMI
watch the sun come altering in
through the lattice work Of green
leaves. But with guests in the house
there was no earthly chance Of that.
She mus arise earlier than usual,
cook the nice breakfast that they ali
expected n watch them hurry Of
for the early train.
She sat on the bed by the baby
thinking it over, without even taking
off her hat. It had been going on for
a long time-all summer, all Of three
summers. In winter there came a lulI,
But she could have borne it easier in
the winter than in the fierce summer
heat. And they v pressed her to
return their visits-just stopped on
as g. matter Of course, ate her fried
chicken and shortcakes. and sat on
tho honeysuckle screened porch while
