ing along at their highest rate.
In Il heavy sleet storm last winter
the wire service between Binghamton
and Scranton was put out Of commits
sion. and no train orders could be sent
by either telephone or ordinary tele-
graph. 1t was two hours before the
regular service was restored, and dur
ing that time all Of the usual train
orders affecting the section were dis
patched through the wireless stations
in the two cities and on the train.
Fifty-four orders and messages were
handled in all. and there were no de-
lays or mishapS in the operation of
the trains anywhere along the line.
The reports of every official agreed
that the wireless had proved as re-
liable and efficient as any wire serv-
ice had ever been.
On another occasion the conductor
of the limited discovered two hoboes
riding the blind baggage between
Scranton and Ringhnmton. Without
letting them know that they had been
detected, he asked the wireless opera
tor to advise the Ringhamton police.
and when the train arrived in that
city two patrolmen pulled the sur
prised tramps from their hiding place.
The fellows would not believe it when
told how the policemen had come to
know where they were.

OF life, so that the lesson could have
been appreciated by every one. '"Ten

the train. Whether these tall towers
are actually necessary for the imme-
diate work cut out for them is not of
present concern; they may be a neces-
sary part of the system when ultimate
ly elaborated. But an interesting fact
has developed. The messages leaving
the moving train are unquestionably
able to get past intervening mountains
and to climb from the meandering val
leys and find their way to the anten-
nae Of the towers at Scranton and
Binghamton.
According to the experts, the Hert-
Zian waves don't do this by climbing
the hills, but by actually going through
them. This is because the earth is a
great magnet. and the wireless waves
virtually wade along. partly through
the ground and partly through the air.
The Marconi outfit has been especial
ly developed for railroad service.
Space and weight had to be drawn
upon economically, and the whole sys-
ten is just about one-quarter the size
of an ordinary installation. This nat
urally has imposed reinements and
made 1t necessary to take great care in
ofsetting the Earring vibrations of a
speeding train. Again the electrical
engineers have done we'll, because even
upon the first run the apparatus func-
toned en~cOuragingly.
Much Still Unprotected.
OF 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 regulat-
ing the wave lengths and in getting the
installation upon the moving train
tuned to the distant stations.
The wave lengths generated by the
train equipment are about 500 meters
long. or in the neighborhood OF half a
mile. and these have permitted of the
maintenance of wireless ~communica-
ton for Il distance just short of thirty
five miles.

Elimination Of Tall Masts.
Wireless telegraphy. as every one
knows. usually calls for tall maSts or
towers from which the aerials or an
tennae can be spread, and this element
of height and length Of dispatching
and intercepting tilamentS influences
directly the efficiency of the appara-
tus, both in creating Hertzian waves
and in being sensitive to the ether vi
brations having their source elsewhere.
How, then. We're these requirements
to be met upon a swiftly moving
train:
AS a matter Of fact, the clearance
between the roofs of the coaches and
the tops Of the bridges and tunnels is
q matter of only a few inches. Would
aerials as low as this answer? Only
experimenting would solve the ques-
ton. and the electrical experts set
about doing it in this way:
\ single line of wire arranged like a
%rectangle is strung from four low
stanchions placed at each corner of
the car ends. actually below the crest
Of the roof. BY doing this upon four
cars, giving a total length Of aerials
of something like $50 feet, an arrange
ment has been reached which works
admirably and incidentally subscribes
to the physical limitations Of height
imposed by structures along the road
way.

There are plenty of examples or
what the wireless has done for ocean
going shipping in the way of spreading
news. in giving helpful warnings and
in calling succor from afar to injured
ships. It's application to railroadln%
will be for q somewhat different pur-
pose.
The block signal system now com
monty adopted in combination with
track contacts has done wonders in re-
ducing the risk Of accidents. The tow
ermen are stationed every few miles,
and unless something goes wrong in
side the block the train must clear
