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
improvements in ap-
paratus, perhaps even some new dis
covery as to methods Of stirring up
the ether, may revolutioniEe the art

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

For those of us who are forced to

there are a few consoling thoughts,

that the severest cold does. Another

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 $50 degree

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 IL we wish to carry
further the benehcent 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.

Of the Philadelphia-Chicago Grand
Opera company, when travelling

a milk massage was all they ever In

A very small quantity Of good milk

Beauty is an elusive thing. And
yet we should strive to possess what
little we may of it's priceless charm.
A beauty doctor solemnly adjures
lovely woman to make the most of
her chin"
This little point should not be neg

slang of the day, that perhaps some
few women made too much of their
chins. Ginning is not unknown among
feminine occupations. But now that
we have a beauty doctors word for it.,
