ENSTRANGED COUPLE
Little 3-Year-Old Daughter Means of
Effecting Reconciliation.

Sioux Falls, Nov 1S.-The little
3-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman Bouman of this city was the
means of effecting a reconciliation
between the parents who became
estranged several months ago when
they lived near Volga. After the
separation Mrs. Bouman came to
Sioux Falls with her daughter, Han
nah May. Later the husband came
to the city, but they were unable to
come to an understanding. About
four weeks ago the father took the
child and disappeared. Later he re-
ceived word through local newspa-
pers that If he would return with
the child the mother would do all she
could to effect a reconciliation, and
this. supplemented by the services of
interested friends, resulted yesterday
In a happy reunion of the family.
They left in the evening for Valley
Springs, where Mr.. Bouman has
work.

Lord Rosebery Says America win
Suffer Under Burden.

London, Nov. 1S-'I know nothing
more disheartening than the an
nouncement recently made that the
United States--the one great country
left in the world free from the
hideous. bloody burden of warts
about to embark upon the Building of

Rosebery, presiding at the Rhodes
lecture in the University of London
1T means he added. that the
burden will continue on the other ma
tions and be increased exactly in pro-
portion to the feet of the United
States.
Il confess that 1t is disheartening
prospect that the United States, so
remote from the European conflict,
should voluntarily in these days take
up the burden, which after this war
will be found to have broken, or al
most broken, our backs"

OF American scientists and others. All
l did was to direct the. work. The
men under me did the rest.
I'm this wonderful achievement there
is glory enough for all. Two of the
principal scientists who labored on the
problem and whose researches and dis
coveries were OF great value were f.
B. Jewett and H. ID. Arnold, both
young men.
Ten years ago the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company decided
to test the possibilities of wireless te-
lephony. There are approximately 500
eminent scientists In the employ of
the company. During the last ten
years at least fifty of these men have
devoted their time largely to the ap-
paratus needed"
How would message be sent by
your telephony apparatus?" the inter
viewer asked.
There Is common telephone at the
base of the wireless towers" Mr.. Car
ty explained. You enter the building
where it's housed and take off the re-
ceiver. placing 1t to your ear. The
current that flows through the wire
from this telephone has little power.
II is not severe enough TO more than
cause your tongue to tingle, providing
power OF that strength were applied to
your tongue.
Electrical waves caused by the
sound of the voice as they pass along
this wire reach an electrical apparatus,
which is one of the keys to the inven-
ton. This weak current Is so develop
ed as it passes on and upward that
when 1t runs out along high tension
wire and Is shot into the air In the form
Of electrical waves the voltage would
kill man. This is accomplished by
an electrical generator Of between fif-
ty and seventy-five horsepower. In
other words. this apparatus which de-
velops electrical currents that will pass
around the globe develops the same
horsepower as the average automobile
Iriven by business man.
"The waves are sent out in all di-
rections and not In a straight line.
They reach everywhere"
Captain w. III. Bullard. superintend-
ent Of the naval wireless system, is re-
ported as saying that telephone COM
munication between the navy depart
ment and war vessels at sea was only
question OF installing the necessary
apparatus.

ORDER HAD HIM "IN THE AIR"
5oatswain's Mate Considerably Mud
died by Command That Was
Entirely New TO Him.

In all the naval services tradition Is
strong. AS Chief Boatswain McCar-
thy. L. S. NJ. has shown in an article in
The Proceedings OF the United States
Naval Institute. the adherence TO GUS
tom extends 10 the manner in which
the. boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions. and even. in the
old navy. at least. ii extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the otficer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate, who
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order.
On one occasion, the officer of the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate, scrub down with
rapidity." This was a new one, and
after causing the officer TO repeat the
order three times, the boatswains
mate became desperate. He grabbed
a deck bucket. and forced 1t into the
hand of the nearest apprentice, whom
he started on his way with push that
sent the youngster reeling, and fol-
lowed him with this shout:
go to the captain of the hold and
ask him for a bucketful OF 1t! l never
heard of anything to scrub deck with
but sand and lime, and don't know
anything about these new 'soogy-
