along the coast for any considerable distance the
guiding forces of the torpedo, the tower and the
wireless, must be necessarily moved. This would
be an impossible task.
But more important than all; is there any
torpedo controlled by wireless which cannot, with
in a certain radius, be captured and controlled by
the wireless of a great battleship which may be
the object of attack? We will allow that it is the
easiest thing in the world to move small boat

A Wireless Dream.

man once made bet with companion
in New York City that the latter could not see
three miles. The taker immediately said
that he could see the sun, and certainly the sun
farther distant than three miles The bet
settled by the mathematical expert of the
New York Sun and strange to say in favor OF
the takcr. Another in Manchester, Eng
land not long ago offered $1,000 to any one
who could prove to him that the earth was round.
A military subject with some slight mathemat-
cal training took the offer A section OF the
Manchester Canal selected for the demon
stration and in very short time it was shown
that the surface OF that like any other water sur
face, was curved.
There are a great many people today who
have implicit belief in the fact that the earth is
round, but for some reason or other these same
people believe that any short distance on the
globe is flat That is to say that small lake
or any other small body of water has no curva-
ture This theory is deep-rooted that many
people think it is possible to stand on shore and
direct a submarine torpedo by wireless for twenty
miles or more. To direct such torpedo for
twenty miles would require a tower some eleva-
ton more than $50 feet high, and with this
the possibility of such performance would be very
much in doubt First of all the motor power of
such a machine would be difficult problem to
solve. Then it would be necessary to have a pow.
erful wireless plant, and a tower from which the
signals could be given for the direction of the
torpedo. Such machine, to be properly guided
for any distance must of necessity have the ordi-
nary receiving apparatus, parts of which must be
above the water, and these parts kept in view
from the tower of observation. This last would
be difficult and almost impossible, even under the
best conditions of weather, and absolutely impos-
sble when the weather conditions were not favor
able. Then again if the warship or other object
at which the torpedo is to be directed should
move back out of position the thing would be a

ocratic State Convention in 1877. Mr.
Stanton was an editorial writer on the
New York Sun while | was sent from
the Sun office to report that Conven-
ton. We found it convenient to room
together so that we could with great
facility exchange information and opin-
ions as we cleaned. them from the
Democratic leaders. Mr.. Stanton was
proud of the fact that he was better
known as the husband of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton. who was one of the
great leaders at the time of the wom-
ans suffrage movement, than as an
editor or political speaker. He was
brilliant writer and had an unusual
gift for public speaking. Mr.. Stanton
was man of slender build and when
l first knew him he was past seventy
years of age. although he seemed to
be as young physically and mentally
as he was at fifty.
One of his most intimate associations
was with Charles a. Dana, editor of
the New York Sun. The two men had
been friends long before Mr.. DanS be-
came editor of the Sun. and it was
while he was managing editor of the
New York Tribune under Horace Greedy
that he brought Mr.. Stanton into edi-
torial association with the Tribune.
One of the first of the choices he made
for editorial assistants after he secured
the New York Sun was of Henry Is.
Stanton and that relation lasted until
Mr. Stanton died.
One of the reasons why Mr.. Dana was
attracted to Mr.. Stanton was founded
upon an extraordinary gift for political
intuition which MIR Stanton possessed.
He was able to put two and two to-
gether mentally and in that way reach
correct inference respecting some po-
litical manipulation which was under
way. He could not explain the mental
processes by which his intuitive judy
ments were reached. ] had an opportu-
nifty to observe Mr.. Stanton at a moment
when an intuition OF this kind had come
to him. | had enetered our room in the
evening before the State convention, pre-
pared to write preliminary report for
the Sun. Mr.. Stanton was writing at a
table-under a somewhat dim Easlight
and having some difficulty by reason of
the dimness of the light in reading his
manuscript. Suddenly he put down his
pen and said to me:
You are probably going to write that
Judge Green will be nominated for gov
ernor of New Jersey tomorrow. Now, il
l were you I would not put 1t that way.
! would say that this evening the Demo-
cratic leaders expect to bring about the
nomination of Judge Green, but there
are some little things which indicate
that some other one than Judge Green
may be nominated
