ly he exhibited an article published
in the Electrical World eleven years
ago, in which he predicted not only
wireless telephony on a commercial
basis but that 1t would be possible to
identify the voice of an acquaintance
over any distance. That its operator in
Hawaii was able to distinguish the
voice Of an engineer friend at Airing.
ton, Va, was announced by the Amer.
lean Telephone and Telegraph com.
pany as the most marked triumph Of
its communication by wireless tele.
phone from the naval radio station at
Arlington to Pearl Harbor. Hawaii, a
distance of 1000 miles.
The inventor, who has won fame by
his electrical inventions, dictated this
statement:
"The experts carrying out this bril-
liant experiment are naturally de.
serving of great credit for the skill
they have shown in %perfecting the de-
vices. These are of two kinds: First,
those serving to control transmission,
and, second, those magnifying the re-
ceived impulse. That the control Of
transmission is perfect is plain to ex-
perts from the fact that the Arlington,
Mare Island, and Pearl Harbor plants
are all inefficient and that the dis.
lance Of telephone communication is
equal to that Of t%elegraphic transmits
sion. 1t is also perfectly apparent that
the chief merit Of the application lies
in the magnification of the micro
phonic impulse. 1t must not be imag-
ined that we deal here with new dis
coveries. The improvement simply
concerns the control of the transmit.
ted and the magnification of the re-
ceived impulse, but the. wireless sys-
TEN is the same. This can never be
changed.
That 1t is practicable to project the
human voice not only to a distance of
5000 miles, but clear across the globe,
l demonstrated by experiments in
Colorado in 1889. II is claimed that
static disturbance will fatally inter-
fere with the transmission, while, as a
matter of fact, there is no static dis
turbance possible in properly designed
transmission and receiving circuits.
Quite recently l have described. in a
patent, circuits which are absolutely
immune to static and other interior
ences-so much so that when a tele,
phone is attached, there is absolute
silence, even lightning in the immedi.
ate vicinity not producing a click of
the diaphragm, while in the ordinary
telephone conversation there are all
kinds of noises. Transmission with
out static interference has many won
derful properties besides, first of which
is that unlimited amounts of power
can be transmitted with very small
loss.
Another contention is that there
can be no secrecy in wireless tele-
phone conversation. l say 1t is absurd
to raise this contention, when 1t Is
positively demonstrated by expert
ments that the earth is more suitable
for transmission than any wire could
eve be. A wireless telephone CONVEX.
sation can be made as secret as a
thought.
IT'S all a wonderful thing. Wireless
is coming to mankind in its full mean.
ing like a hurricane some of these
days. Some day there will be, say, six
great wireless telephone stations in a
world system connecting all the in
habitants of this earth to one another
not only by voice but by sight. It's
surely coming"

SEA ROMANCE
Sole Survivor Recalls Wreck of
Bark Egypt.
Went Down In Gale In Bahama Sixty.
Six Years Ago-clinss to Rigging
for Five Days and
Nights.

Blackwell, Okla.-The only survivor
of the wreck Of the bark Egypt &C
years ago is visiting relatives in Kay
county, and celebrated the anniver-
sary of what was known to him as
the most terrible week he has spent
in his eighty.nine years on this earth.
Sheridan is yet a hale and hearty
old sea dog" and his tale Of the ad-
venture many years ago in which prac-
tically the whole crew Of the bark
were drowned and the remaining Is
come near meeting a much worse
death was told by him in this fashion:
1T was sixty-six years ago this sum-
mer that the old bark Egypt put out
from Portland, Me-, with a cargo OF
lumber and a few weeks later struck
a real Northwestern while in the gulf
stream neal the Banks of Bahama.
A happy outfit we we're. all full Of life.
"On the evening Of September 6 q
storm struck us and for six hours we
battled that gale in a terrific fight.
Finally, however, the bark turned
over. The masts and rigging were left
afloat, and to these those Of us that
were left made. When we counted up
the next day, there were thirteen OF
us.
without food, without a drop Of
fresh water, suffering intensely from
the semitropical midsummer sur by
day and from the cold at night, half
famished and nearly crazed from
thirst, we chung to the rigging Of that
half-submerged vessel for five days
and nights.
Time after time I was in the no.
ton of letting 60 and ending the tor.
ture in the cool deep Of the sea, but
each time the love of life was too
great, and l held on in the hope that
some time before my mind left me,
which is the usual ending Of those
cast out in that way, we might be
rescued by a passing boat.
"On the evening of the fifth day a
sailing vessel bound for New York
sighted us an hour after we had seen
it. That was the longest hour of my
life, for ! was afraid that they would
go right on by without seeing us. We
quickly revived, but the memory of
those times will be vivid always"

AFTER TIE War. WHATa

President Wilson is undoubtedly
right in saving that no man can pre-
diet precisely what viii emerge from
the great war Al present we can see
little but an awful welter of armies,
pitting brute force against brute
force. OF course, there are examples
lenongh OF individual heroism. and the
grim scene Il touched with redeem
ing element in the ministry of mercy
being performed everywhere by the
Red Cross societies But In the main
III is a vast drama of frenzied passion,
with nations OF civilized men baptized
in blood. sacrament that varies not
la whit from that OF the barbarian
|ages. says the Philadelphia Ledger
And the President is also indubit-
ABLY right in predicting that there will
be an emergence of spiritual forces
directly following the war. This will
come partly as revulsion, partly from
physical exhaustion and partly from a
|reyaluation OF the things for which
me nstrire. Horrible as war is, it
seems to quicken certain dormant
faculties and lead men to new and
truer perspective. Nearly every war
has been followed by a religious re-
vival. And. curiously enough, the
children born during an era of strife
have a touch OF genius that marks
them for exceptional things. Nearly
all OF the truly great men OF Europe
ia the last century were born during
or Just following the Napoleonic vars.
One result that may be expected is
a new internationalism. Some writer's
predict that il will come through
socialism. others from creating a
United States OF Europe. and stisl
others from concurrent realization
OF the futility of trying to advance the
good social ideals of any
nation by resorting to physical force.
But it is certain that there viii be q
new International conscience, whether
expressed by The Hague Tribunal or
not, which will not permit milifaristic
harharities upon noncombatants and |
that will effeciually guarantee inyio-
liability to neutral states. If all OF
these results shall follow. or even one
pr two OF them. the ultimate gain to
he world will outweigh the present
waste and loss.

THOSE WHO WALK.

! II is generally believed that more
automobiles viii be used this season
! than ever before, Many people feel
that il is a sign OF social insignificance
not to own a machine. Yet there are
tens Of millions Of good people in this
country who own no automobiles
Have they wholly failed in lifeg
There are OF course many people
perfectly able TO buy motor-cars, who
do not care for them. The meditatiye
PAGES OF the old family horses suit
them better. Or they may have no
gumption for machinery. The posi-
bility of finding themselves stranded
on a lonely road twenty-five miles
from nowhere is the deterrent.
Still automobiles are the twentieth
century's most popular toy. In inc
out OF ten cases, failure to own one
results from a feeling Of inability to
afford it. What solace have these
people for lack OF d convenience that
d great many people now find to be
an absolute necessity?
To the philosopher. the possession
of two good muscular legs. able to
walk considerable distances without
fatigue, is a very good substitute. 1t
is compensation which many people
do not understand. Even before the
days Of automobiles, one often used
to hear farm people, who had the use
of several horses, speak rather con-
OF city persons who used
TO come into the country and spend q
good deal of time walking. 1t never
seemed to occur to the horse owner
that people walk for the mere pleas
ure az the stride and the close contact
with nature.
/ The use OF motor cars IS weakening
muscular power for great many
persons. AS the fascinating ease OF
motion gets its grip over them. 1t is a
great temptation to Jump into them

errand about town.
Man is walking animal His or.

losing the habit OF walking under the
beguilements Of fascinating play

something that threatens serious work
