The Ordway new era., 1914-02-20

The Marconi outfit has been espe-
cially developed for railroad service.
Space and weight had to be drawn
upon economically and the whole sys-
tenn is just about one-quarter the size
OF an ordinary installation. This nat
urally has imposed refinements and
made 1t necessary to take great care
in offsetting the jarring vibrations OF
a speeding train. Again the electrical
engineers have done we'll. because
even upon the first run the apparatus
functioned encouragingly.
or course there are yet obstacles to
be surmounted. because there are re-
finements Of adjustment that radically
affect perfect working. The principal
one of these has been that of regu-
lating the wave lengths and in get
ting the installation upon the moving
train turned to the distant stations.
The wave lengths generated by the
train equipment are about 800 meters
long. or in the neighborhood Of half a
mile. and these have permitted of the
maintenance OF wireless communica-
tion for q distance Just short OF 30
miles. So far the operator aboard the
train has been more successful in
dispatching than in receiving mes
sages and the immediate efforts will
be directed toward putting him upon
an equality with his fellows at the
fixed stations.
Upon the trial run the conductor OF
the buffalo limited was taken i'll and
when thirty-odd miles from Scranton
a wireless call was dispatched for q
relief conductor. The substitute was
on hand when the train pulled into
that station. -.
Again. there were more passengers
than seats. and in the same way an
extra coach was ordered and made
ready by the time the limited pulled
into Binghamtoa. Upon a later run
news items were received aboard the
train and bulletins posted from time
to time for the edifcation of the pas
sengers. In time It will be possible,
1t is believed. for passengers to send
and receive messages at any moment
of the day or night while the trains
are speeding along at their highest
rate.
What is perfectly plain is the fact
that the advent of the wireless opera
tor aboard moving train adds Just
one more watcher who will be con-
tinually on the alert and can cooper
ate with towermen in keeping the en-
gine driver informed as to the state
OF the road ahead. Logically the next
development of the system will be a
telephone installation extending from
the room of the wireless operator to
the cab Of the locomotive and perhaps
even to the fireman's position II his
task separates him from the engineer.
OF course the question Of expense
must be considered always. and for
tunately the outlay involved in this
case is not prohibitive. The station
ary plants at Scranton and Bingham
ton have apparatus costing $4,000 for
each. independently Of the wireless
towers. and the train equipment costs
about half this. The operator need be
but little more skilful than the aver.
age railroad telegrapher.

BOYHOOD MUCH

Eondness for Outdoor Life
Marked Characteristic Of
Washington in His Youth.
BY LOUISE 8. DUN.


4 CCORDING to the old entry in
n the family Bible George Washing-
toms birth is recorded as follows:
"A son to Augustine Washington
and Mary, his wife. was born ye 11th
of February, 1871, about ten in the
morning."
As everyone knows by the parlia-
mentary change In the calendar Of
1882. the eleventh OF the month be-
came the twenty-second, while the
settling of the doubt whether the year
began on the first of January or the
twenty-fifth Of March. made the year
In which Washington was born 1892
instead Of 1881. And this important
event took place near Fredericksburg.
Va, on the Rappahannock.
From all the Lives" and Letters"
extant we CLEAN the fact that the lad
who was destined to become the
greatest American OF them all" spent
his boyhood much like other lads of
his age and position, perpetrating
many pranks and receiving many
whippings in consequence. On more

1743. when George was a lad Of

her good judgment, many times. max
ing herself miserable in their behalf.
Yet there is no doubt that Washing
toms mother. as has been the case
with all great men. had potent In
fiuence over his life. and her strong
character was afterwards reflected
in the remarkable balance shown by
her son In whatever situation he was
placed.
After his fathers death he was
soon made to understand that he
must do something for q living. By

Broke Power Of Indians.

One hundred years ago Gen. An.
drew Jackson had at Fort Strother 900
raw recruits and several hundred
friendly Indians in preparation for the
second years campaign against the
Creek Indians. With this force he
conducted raids into the Indian coun-
try with varied success. Before the
end Of February General Jackson had
an army of 5000 men within easy
reach of Fort Strother. But 1t was the
first Of March before needed provi.

and several weeks more elapsed be-
