The Perfect Chronograph.

A TEST has just been completed OF
"A device for automatically re-
cording radio time signals and mes
sages between the Naval Observatory.
Washington, and a private observatory
at Elgin. Ill. This promises to accom-
plish one of the long sought ends Of
wireless telegraphy. -. 80
Frank D. Urie of Elgin told how he
came to invent the long-sought device
which accomplishes these things. and
will be a great step in the develop
ment of photography.
Mr.. Uric is the astronomical observer
for large watch factory and an in
cident to his work has been the tax
ing of standard time records sent out
daily from the Naval Observatory BY
radio at noon. This is done by max
ing electrical connection between the
observatory clock and the wires at
the Arlington radio station in such
way that the tick Of each second Is
flashed by wireless for five minutes
before noon. Hitherto the method of
comparing local clock with the
standard time has been for the persons
making the test to connect the local
clock with the telephones OF the wire
less and determine by sound Whether
the beats Of the two clocks are syn
chronous. This was unreliable and al
forded no means of telling the exact
difference of time. if any existed.
Mr. Uric, who believed that better
way could be found to accomplish this,
about eight months ago began TO IN
yestfgate and experiment, with the re-
suit that a short time ago he sent TO
the observatory a great surprise In tn
shape of a perfect chronograph O.
time chart OF one OF the obServatct!
time signals-one that was immediatt
ly recognized from certain peculiari-
ties of the beat of the observatory
clock as a reproduction. without at
tempting to go into the technical de-
tails of the instrument, one may say
that it is electrical and purely auto
matte; it converts the radio signals
into movements Of a chronographic
pen 1t not only correctly records the
beats Of the clock, but 1t has been SO
amplified that the dots and dashes
of the telegraphic code are easil.
caught and automatically recorded at
the observatory In Elgin. distance OF
about 700 miles 1t has also correctly
recorded signals from Key West a
distance of over 1900 miles. 1t Is 30
sensitive that 1t records with absolute
accuracy intervals of time down to the
one-hundredth part of second.
If the wireless room OF the steamer
which failed to go to the relief Of the
Titanic, because her operator had re-
moved his head phones a few minutes
before the doomed vessel sent her
radio call for help. had been so
equipped, the signal S. O.. S. would
have been visibly recorded and she
could have been rushed to the place o.
the wreck before the Carpathia ar
rived.
Mr. Uric, a young man, graduated
with the class of 1909 of the Cniver-
sity of Michigan, where he specialized
in mathematics and astronomy. He
expressed his great appreciation OF the
kindness and interest shown by SapI.
Hoodewerff and of Capt. Bullard. U.
S. n, superintendent of the radio serv-
ice, each of whom has co-operated to
develop the invention. which will be
of great value to the radio service.

CHICAGO CUPID
 LOAFING ON JOB
Drop in Demand for Marriage Ii. censes Blamed on Democrats
 by Republicans.

A sharp drop in the marriage record this year in Chicago is attributed tt business depression-particularly b, republicans-and the clerk at the li cense window, Louis Legner, himself is puzzled. He is a Democrat, too. but says the May total was "disheartenz ing Cupid is in for a bad year, he said,
 After preparing figures on the first five months of 1914, he says he has found slump in the number of mar riage licenses such as Chicago has not experienced ir forty-five years.
 During the month of May we is- sued 253 fewer marriage licenses than we did in May last year." said Mr. Legner. Under normal conditions there would be an increase of 200 as the records for the last twenty years will show. Apparently the entire year will feel the effects of the slump. There is no way can explain it unless the trade conditions are re- sponsible."

KIN, STRANGERS,
 MEET FIRST TIME
Never Knew of Each Others Exist ence Until Will Case Is Called
 At St. Paul.

St. Paul, June 10.-Settlement pro- ceediags in estate of Emma Remitter, who died at the age of seventy in the asylum for the insane at Anoka, Mnn.. last July, before Probate Judge Brazille the other day, brought to light the strange stories of three sisters who once lived on the fami- ly homestead at Nininger, Minn, sev- enteen miles south of St. Paul. Since their separation forty years ago the sisters had lost track of each other, although two had lived in Milwaukee many years, Mrs. Remitter possess ed real estate holdings in St. Paul valued at $26,000. Her nearest known relatives were the seven Ross chil- dren. the children of sister,.
 Matt Ross, C. teamster, living in St.. Paul. took up the estate matters in behalf of his brothers, sisters and himself at Robert, Wis.
 Through his attorneys efforts the matter was given wide publicity, and letter came from Milwaukee, signed by Hubert Zander, who said he was the son of Mrs. Remitter's sister and would come to claim his mothers share. Three notifications to appear in probate court here were sent to Zander, but he failed to comply, and on April z, Judge Bazille issued a final decree ill favor of the Ross family.
 Zander subsequently had the mat ter opened again, declaring that his mother, Katherine Za2der, Mrs. Re- mitter's sister, had lived as a recluse in Milwaukee for more than twenty five years and that she refuses to al- low the postman to carry mail to her home.
 Concidental with the arrival of Zander was that of the arrival of Ferdinand Brown, also of Milwaukee who declared he was the son of Mrs May Brown of Milwaukee, a sister ot Mrs. Remitter. and that he had come to protect the interests of two broth CTS. sister-and himself He said his mother is dead. Brown and Zander had no knowledge of their kinship until they gathered in the probate court. Curiously enough none of the mothers had told her children of q sister until the news of Mrs. Remit ter's death came. +

Grade crossing accidents on the six great railway systems of France dur Ing 1912 numbered thirty, in which horsedrawn vehicles, automobiles and trolley cars were concerned. The to- tai number of persons fatally injured in these accidents was eighty-eight.
 From present indications the Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail road see silver lining in the cloud that has been hanging over the rail- roads, particuarly in the freight traf- fic business. The travelling freight agent who has been idle for the past six months has been put back on the job.
 Proposed rate increases on coke from Chicago and Peoria. Ill.,, to St. Paul, Duluth and other cities in that section over the Wabash railway, have been suspended indefinitely by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Boosters of the Railway Y. M. c. A. movement in Shawnee, Okla, have received assurances from Mrs Helen Gould-Shepard that she will contrib ute $5,000 toward Y. M. c. A. build ing there if the city of Shawnee will contribute like amount. Her aid had not been solicited, but was volun- tary.
 The Pennsylvania railroad has pur- chased Berry Lake, Ind. former sum- mer resort, and will convert it into a site for railroad yards and repair shops. The lake is in the center of the tract and will be drained. The courts will be asked to condemn, six and one-half acres which the owner refused to sell. This is the third rail- road yard to be established near the state line by eastern railroads in the past six months.
 As a proof of their contention that it costs more to operate railroads than ever before, some of the carriers are pointing out the fact that even freight locomotives cost at least $1O,- 900 more today than they did fifteen years ago. The cost of an engine to- day is $25,00O as against $15,000 fif- teen years ago. The cost of repairs and renewals has increased from 4 te l 10 cents a mile. Oyer the same peri cd wages have increased 25 per cent
