The berries look like red cherries, and
they are almost as soft: We get off

off the pulp. and find that each large
cherry has two coffee beans or seeds
inside it. These are oval in shape and

seed INSIDE the cherry. Inere are
smaller cherries at the ends of the

other cylinders filled with holes of such

them. AS the cylinders revolve. the

gummy and sticky, and they have to be
rewashed. At the end they are as
white as snow.

OF course. the navy is not the only
branch of the government that has
wireless equipment. The army. for ex-
ample, maintains a cable from Puget
sound to Alaska, an extensive system
of wire telegraphs in Alaska. and also
several wireless stations there. all e"-
gagged in commercial as we'll as public
business. That is because the tele-
graphs followed the troops into the
northern territory in the early days.
The system is heavy expense with
out being of any particular military
value to the army. and on several oc-
casions the War Department has i'm
plored Congress to let the Post Office
Department handle the cable and wire
lines. Sooner or later the army wireless
plants there will be abandoned.
Then the coast guard cutters, under
the jurisdiction of the Treasury Depar'-
ment, all have wireless equipment
aboard, while in the Department Of
Commerce is lodged supervision and
regulation control over commercial and
amateur wireless operators; but since
1904, by executive action of the Presi-
dent, the navy is supreme in the field
of coast stations. Commercial stations
operate, of course. on the coast, but they
must not be so located as to interfere
with the operation of navy radio sta
tions.
The organization Of the naval radio
service is a growth and a development.
When wireless first came into being in
the navy the old bureau of equipment
handled it. but subsequently the duties
We're absorbed by the bureau of steam
engineering. Then the passage of the
radio act by Congress in 1912, with its
provision requiring navy radio stations
to relay and handle maritime and COM
mercial bus ness. and the jo ming. in the
same year, of this nation in the London

mendous burden of new responsibility on

Highland lighthouse, near the entrance
to New York harbor. An antenna was
stretched from he flag pole near the
house of the lightkeeper, and this had
the distinction of being the first radio
shore station used in the United States
Later a commercial station was erected
near the same spot; and still later, in
1903. the navy put up permanent
shore station there.
With the erection of the first ex-
perimental station the three vessels
named were equipped with radio ap-
paratus, the first vessels OF the navy
to be so equipped This was the be-
ginning of the navy radio service.
Its growth and development has been
remarkable. No part of the Atlantic or the
Pacific ocean is too far away to be out
of reach of radiogram from an Ameri-
can naval shore. station. When the. fleet
was engaged recently in it's big war game
on the Atlantic coast the department at
Washington was in a position to be in
instantaneous communication with every
emit. Daily newspaper reports have
hinted at the remarkable results achieved
in the experimental efforts to disguise
messages conducted during thosn opera
tions
For example. one current story asserts
that it was found practicable for ves-
sci at sea to send a radiogram without
revealing even the approximate location
of the ship dspatching the message
something much desired by naval strate-
gists. but never before accomplished.
This, however. is but an item in the
record of the development by the navy of
radio telegraphy for, war purposes but
the full record cannot, obviously, be made
public.
The developments in radio telephony
In recent weeks have begun to show re-
suits; but this story is quite fresh in
the public mind.
Quite as remarkable as the tale of the
development of radio for strategic pur-
poses is the tale of its development in
the navy for purposes quite apart from
war. Every department of the govern
ment now uses 1t at times for communi-
cation. Its service to commerce and the
merchant marine has become indispensa-

service was in commercial telegraphy
up to its neck. 1t must follow the
charges on business handled for for
eign nations and for private COM
panies, and see that proper payment
was made, just the same as any other
telegraph company that interchanged
business with connecting companies.
Dumping all of these duties on the
few officers of the bureau of steam en-
glneering was not conducive to the
best interests of the service.
Whereupon the radio work was or
ganized as an administrative unit, and
Capt Bullard was detailed as superin-
tendent. The bureau of steam engineer
ing still provides material, but the ad-
ministration of affairs is under the direc-
ton of Capt Bullard.
For convenience his headquarters are
established in the building at the Airing

extension of the service and so great has
the business grown that already he and
his administrative staff are cramped for
