PRESENT LIMIT OF WIRELESS
Depends Largely on Existing Weather
Conditions, but Possibilities Are
Apparently Unknown.

According to Prof. ]. A. Fleming,
several of the most powerful wireless
stations are now generating ether
waves having a length from crest to
crest of about four miles, and these
disturbances can be detected" at dis
tances up to 5000 miles from their
source-that is, four such stations
would suffice to "girdle' the earth.
Obviously, however, the ability to de
tect' the signals over this vast dis
tance, presumably under favorable
weather conditions. is very differ
ent thing from the power to maintain
commercial communication along the
route. AS yet the wireless service
available to the public covers but a
third, or at most half, this distance.
There is as yet no means of deter
mining the practical limit of wireless
communication. Improvements in ap-
paratus, perhaps even some new dis
covery as to methods of stirring up
the ether, may revolutionize the art

Fast UnitIno.

To use an old phrase which fits the
situation perfectly, a condition, not a
theory, confronts those who have been
striving to prevent the union of the
two great parties which ought, to
stand together against the Democratic
organization now In control of the ma
tional government and supreme In
many states where it has the support
of only minority of the voters.
While the opponents Of Progressive
and Republican amalgamation are
talking against it, the union is actual
'ly taking place. 1t becomes more and
more apparent that nothing can keep
it from going on until the two parties
become in effect one, with only few
irreconcilable extremists left outside
of the camp.
There will be a getting together of
Republicans and Progressives which
will leave little room for dissension
and strife in the years to come. No
man, no group Of men, can prevent
this natural welding of political forces
which are working for the same pur
poses, toward common goal.

At seven o'clock that morning the

ried, fatigued, vaguely resentful, un
usually profane.

hopeful activity by my possibly un.

"It simply amounts to this" said:
"Jacqueline pulls US through or the

And I called Speed and pointed at

SOME CRUMBS OF COMFORT
Those Of Us Who Sweltered In the
Dog Days May Find Little
Consolation Here.

For those of US who are forced to
spend most Of our summers in cities
there are few consoling thoughts,
remarks a writer in the Atlantic
Monthly. One is that the severest
heat does not prompt men to crime,
as the social statisticians have found
that the severest cold does. Another
is that the worst temperature we are
called upon to face falls long way
short of the endurance limit of the
human body and brain, as proved by
French experiments at the ESQ degree
level Another comes from the dis
.covery through the newspapers, with
every prolonged hot wave, that we are
breaking the record" in some line
or other. This ought to be a stimulus
to our pride, and if we wish to carry
further the benefcent influence of
mental suggestion, all we need to do
is to compare what is happening to US
with what has happened to various
sther people at various other times.

Shall We Restore Majority Ruler


The Philadelphia Public Ledger de-
clares that the reunion of the two
great factions whose separation last
year brought about revolution in
the national government is "a patriot
ic duty" which "devolves on Republic
ans and Progressives alike" that ma
jority rule may be re-established and
''sobriety in government preserved"
On the dangers of permitting the pres
ent division to continue it truly re-
marks:
Our system of government re-
quires party rule. The men
ace of an unrestrained majority can
not be compared to the danger Of an
unrestrained minority which, through
the petty strife of the opposition,
holds complete control of the govern
ment. The danger lurking in SO un-
natural situation appears in recent
legislation suggested at Washington.

LOW WAGES ABROAD
Comparison of Interest to Ameri-
can Workers.
Reading This Statement From Lon
don, Can Any One Question the
Wisdom of Republican Party's
Protective Policy?

A London dispatch announcing the
intention of the Reuter- Telegram com
pany to substitute boys for girls in its
messenger service after the 9th OF
this month throws incidentally light
on the low compensation of labor in
Europe, when it quotes as follows an
explanatory statement of the manag
ing director:
''It Is purely matter of expense
Our experience of girl messengers has
convinced us they are from fifty to
sixty per cent. dearer than boys. The
wages of girls vary. Some are earn
ing twelve shillings and others eleven
shilings a week. Their hours are
from O'Clock in the evening They
finish early Saturday afternoons, and
not begin work again till the follow
ing Monday. On the other hand, the
boys-aAd there are two separate
staffs, one for day work and one for
night work-take messages to the
newspaper Offices. Their wages
range from eight shillings up to ten
shillings weekly"
Think of what these wages mean in
American money. The compensation
Of the girls, which now, it seems, is
considered too high, is $2.75 and So
per week. The wages for which boys
can be got to do the work are 81 a
week to $3.50. Is it wonderful that
Europeans crowd into the United
States. attracted by the higher wages
and better conditions of living which
have existed in this country under the
system Of protection to American la
Dor that the Democrats have underta.
ken to supersede. Is it wonderful that
there are American manufacturers
who feel apprehensive of what may
follow the attempt to compete with
foreign rivals who hire labor at wages
far below those which prevail here
There are signs that recently this fear
has begun to extend to the ranks of
labor. It always has been the claim
of advocates of the protective system
that no class of the community is
more concerned in the maintenance OF
protection than the men who work for
wages.

The Christian is always rich and

world counts wealth and success, but
it will be what God and heaven and

for the greatest wealth and the most

veins in the leg swell up. All the
weight is thrown on one side of the
body, and the under leg goes to
sleep, owing to the pressure put on
the sciatic nerve. The body should
be equally balanced Then there is
another danger. Too much cross
ing of the legs is sure to bring lop-
sidedness. Let the legs rest Imply.
In that way the muscles become eased
while the flow into and the return of
