Will SEEK To IMPROVE
NAVAL RADIO SERVICE
Capt. Billiard. Officer in Charge.
Makes Recommendations to
That End.

With a view to increased efficiency
in the naval radio service. Capt. w. II.
G. Billiard, the officer in charge. In
his annual report recommends that the
advantages OF the service be brought
to the attention of all bureaus, offices,
divisions and subdivisions. and its use
for ordinary messages be made compul-
sorry.
Shows Saving Effected.
AS an indication Of the saving effected
the department by its radio service the
station at Arlington, for the month OF
February, 1914, transmitted $50 official
messages from officials of the depart
ment, on which the land and cable
charges, computed at government
rates, amounted to S302.52; or. in other
words, that amount would have been
chargeable to the department had its
radio system not been used Consider
ing that this Is but one OF the nifty
shore stations, and for one month. Capt
Billiard says. it is readily conceivable
that the saving by the whole service
for a year is very great. 1t Is recon-
mended that in all cases. except pos
sibly very urgent messages which re-
quire an immediate answer. messages
intended for naval shore stations be
forwarded by radio.
Makes Recommendations.
Other recommendations made by
Capt Billiard that there be a feet radio
officer for each fleet; that chief cleo
tricians be detailed to Arlington from
ships during overhaul period: that pro-
motion to warrant rank from CHIEF
electricians be limited to a maximum
of five per year, and the waving OF

Hospitals for the Sick.

The contention that hospitals for
the care of the sick and infirm are the
product of Christianity" is probably
correct. Although In ancient times
there may have been places for the
reception of strangers and travellers. it.
is quite doubtful If there was any,
thing of the nature of charitable in
stitutons for the reception and regu-
lar care of the sick. The bethesda"
of Scripture was probably no more
than a collection of sheds built round
the ports of alleged miraculous pools.
Among the Greeks and Romans there
is to be found but little evidence of
the existence of hospitals in our sense
OF the word.

WHERE EMERALDS COME FROM

Where do they come from--those flashing
stones of pure pellucid green that often form
the central setting of beauty's choicest gems?
Diamonds form but satellites when that rarest
of Jewels, perfect emerald flashes its fire or
lends its sheen to the jewel-incrusted crown of
royalty. It's birth is hidden in the mystery of
natures alchemy, but its beauty and charm have
been recognized from the very dawn Of history
Emeralds flashed the shield of Aaron; the
otolemies OF Egypt treasured them, and their
lapdaries knew the art of engraving on their
hard surfaces the mystic symbols of their ancient
faith: the Theban tombs revealed choice emer-
aids among their long buried treasures, while
Herculaneum and Pompeii have added their quota
to the greed of modern excavators. Nero, that
half-mad monster who once ruled the destinies
of Rome, used an enormous emerald for mono

Cleopatra emeralds shone in verdant luster
Mt Zabarah, in Upper Egypt, is said to have
been the source of many of these ancient gems
but centuries have passed since these prolific
mines were exhausted and modern jewellers must
row depend upon the western hemisphere for
their supply.
In the spells Pizarro sent to Spain were found
the first fine specimens of American emeralds.

her excellent singing voice.
"After Wilhelm heard her sing he could not re-
sst her" is the saying with regard to the re-
o1.l of the kaiser's opposition. She is not str1k-
inplv beautiful but her pleasing appearance has
made her brilliant star in the stodgy court OF
the German empress All the other women at
+oobad tn the empress service have been in her
service since the early days of her marriage and
either are or are old enough to be grandmothers.
The countess best friend In her love affair mas
heon the Crown Princess Cecilie, whose brother
is the grand duke of Meklenburg, of which the
countess father is minister of state Coming
from the same place to Berlin, and with the same
yivacity good looks and pleasure In pretty clothes
and piquant society," they naturally formed an al
lance against the stiff and conventional sur
roundings-
The day after the marriage of Prince Oscar and
Countess Ina the royal bridegroom will confer a
settlement upon his wife. This is the "morgen-
gabe" (morning gift), from which the term NOR
ganatic" comes.
The marriage ceremony differs from the usual
custom in that the bride joins her right hand to
the bridegroom's left hand Ca token of their
UNEQUAL BIRTH and for this she cannot inherit the
estates of her husband or receive his royal name
Hence the day after the marriage he bestows
a new title upon her, according to the arrange
ments of the state and financial settlement.
This morganatic marriage is considered as
founding an entirely new family. The kaiser will
grant the family new name and Prince Oscar
will be paid lump instead of his princeiy
allowance.
Morganatic marriages have from time to time
been attacked as equivalent to concubinage.>
This is a mistake, for the whole SYSTEM of MGR
ganatic marriages has been built up, by the
Protestant church to preserve the purity OF the
marriage relation and at the same time preserve
the sanctity of royalty.
The royal bridegroom cannot marry again In
the lifetime of his morganatic wife unless she is
regularly divorced
The children take the title and rank of the
mother, but they invariably obtain high office
and rich ernouments from the royal family when
they are grown and, as in the case OF the Tecks.
frequently marry into royalty.
