these fans, and perhaps the leaf of
one of them. were evidently decorated
by some heraldic painter of the eight
eenth century in the process called
"Vernls Martini. after Il famous car
riage painter and inventor of the col
orless lac varnish bearing his name.
The sticks of both of these fans are
painted in the style of the period.
An old French fan owned by Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt and presented to
her while in the White House, while
not showing the exquisite finish and
detail achieved at a later time by deco
an example of early designing and
painting. This fan has ivory sticks
Among these fans are several mod
ern lace ones with carved mother-of-
pearl sticks and mounts of beautiful
rose point and ducheSse lace. Just
when lace was first used for this pur-
pose is not definitely known, but it is
supposed to have been employed for
the whole leaf of a fan as early as
the first half of the seventeenth CEN
tury. Before that time the lace was
sewed on a leaf of silk taffeta or
gummed on parchment.

no danger of the sea is more dreaded
than fog but even this will be to a
considerable extent lessened by means
of messages sent from the naval sta
tions when the fog lies on the coast,
for by means of several ingenious de-
vices soon to be completed signals sent
from the shore to the ship Will give to
the mariner his exact bearings, thus
enabling him to verify his course and
to correct it, if necessary.
Radio telegraphy by the Navy De-
partment has several objects. First.
in times of peace and war, to keep the
ships in touch with one another and
with the department. These methods, 1t
is deemed best not to discuss, but II
may be safely said that they are tie
subject of thought and investigation
by some of the brilliant men of the
navy, whose efforts are inspired by the
steady watchfulness and support or the
Secretary. Second, the important serV-
ices just mentioned in signaling time,
weather conditions, ice and derelicts to
mariners: giving fog signals and other
important information to ships. Third,
doing great commercial work.
Under the radio act of 1912. twenty
five of the shore stations, mostly in
places where this country has no pri-
yate stations, were opened, under GER
tain restrictions, to general public COM
mercial service between shore and ship
and ship and shore, or ship and ship.
This part of the work is conducted
much as a great commercial business
would be conducted, only it is not the
purpose oe the department to enter into
direct competition in rates with private
enterprises.
Commercial messages may be relayed
when communications cannot be estab-
lished between the station of origin
and the point of delivery, where mes
sages originated in ship to reach the
nearest coast station. where the re-
laying ship is in position to forward
the message and on certain other con-
ditions. On all this business charges
substantially the same as private cor
poration are made and collected. In
the adjustment of tolls and charges it
is necessary that the naval radio office
account with many telephone, tele-
graph and cable companies ashore. and
an equally large number of companies
which own or operate radio installa-
tion on board ships.
During the term beginning october.
1912, and ending December 81, 1913, this
office handled 6o,196 official radiograms
and 1854 commercial messages, and
for the corresponding period of the
present year it had handled number

of the Poulsen type, sometimes called
the arc system, sending out continuous
undamped waves. There will be three
600-foot self-supportng towers 500

This arc system is differentiated from
the spark system by the nature of the
power waves and their application. The
undamped waves of energy of the arc
system are even, being sent out contin-
uously, while the damped wave of the
spark system is thrown out with great
er initial, but constantly decreasing
energy. The steady pressure of the un-
damped wave is broken by the oper-
ators key and the resulting inter
val gives to the receiving operator

Fans are also mentioned in the Bible,
and Nentllabrum and fabellum are
names under which ecclesiastical fans
are mentioned in old inventories. They
were used in the early middle ages to
keep flies from the sacred elements
during the celebration of the Christian
mysteries, and in the ancient records
of St. PaulS, London and the Salisbury
Cathedral there are notices of round
fans with silver bells attached, of sill
yer or silver gilt, used for such pur-
poses.
They still form a part of the celebra
tion in some oriental rites, and in
Egypt, India and Mexico were attri-
butes of men in authority and often
sacred emblems. Large feather fans are
still carried in the state professions of
the Pope in Rome, While as late as
the nineteenth century what were
known as chapel fans We're carried in
England.
There is an interesting specimen of
one of these quaint fans in the collec-
tion at the museum. The decorations

By presidential order the Navy De-
partment was instructed to enforce the
executive order of August to pre-
vent radio stations under our jurisdic-
tion from becoming the means through
which unneutral messages were sent
to vessels at sea or to other RADIO
stations. There was no precedent re-
lating to the use of radio stations by
persons within neutral countries during
the continuance of hostilities. The duty
of censorship was placed by the Presi.
dent upon the Navy Department, and
the work was done without friction or
injury to commercial business.
In furtherance of maintaining neu-
traIity the government was Obliged to
take over the radio station at Tucker
ton, N ]. Its ownership was dis
puted. 1t had no license, and its con-
troll by the department was required
to meet a real demand for mcrsa- -rf.
This was done under the rules OF tue
London convention.
The situation is well summarized in
the annual report of the Secretary OF
the Navy: THE military feature is the
one with which the department is more
concerned. In this field there
has been an enormous advance during
the past year, and much of this prog
ress. perhaps the greater part of it. IS
due to the original work of the de-
partment. Commercial progress i'm the
art has been notable. but it must be
that the naval problems in
radio work have no parallel in COM
merciai work: that foreign govern
ments guard carefully their own dis
coveries and developments, and that
therefore the Navy Department is de-
pendent upon its own expert talent for
military progress. For this reason II
is very gratifying to state that we
have kept abreast of the times and
have made material progress. and that
our equipment is such as will place us
in a position at least not inferior to the
service of any foreign
if we do not, in fact. sur
pass it."
