metz, the visible coal supply Of the world
will entirely disappear within the next
fifty years. Electric energy will then be
universally substituted for our heatine
purposes. Steam boilers and engines will
become curiosities. Operators Of large
coal companies are now applying electric
power in mining their product and the
economy thus effected is tending to de.

Just as electricity has transformed our
above-the-ground world by its light, hea,

ton in the lives of miners who spend a
greater part of their time in the coal
caverns under ground. The day of the
Woodworking, handwriting, rough and
tumble miner has passed. The safety

mine Of many of its perils. Electric To-

1t is generally predicted that electri-
cally driven machines will completely

so. Use of steam In coal mines has al

work overcame some OF the objections
to steam, but in turn, gave way before
the silent power.
The most important. advantage electri-
city has over other forms OF power in
operating coal mines is its great economy.

Cannot Hear Voice There.
In discussing the secrecy with
which the experiments were conduct
ed DR.. F. B. Jewett, of the Western
Electric Company pointed out that the
Bell system was compelled to develop
the sending and receiving apparatus
to an efficient point without a demon
stration. He said that the human
voice does not really carry across the
ocean. When a person talks into the
telephone, he says, the voice sound
causes the diaphragm to vibrate.
These vibrations are taken up by an
electrically charged apparatus with
the result that the vibrations are sent
out in electric waves which carry as
far as the electric energy will take
them.
Every word uttered, every rising or
lowering infection of the voice causes
different electric waves. Delivate,
representative receiving apparatus at
the other end catch the waves, trans
form them to sound waves again. and
carry them to the ear of the listener
in exact reproduction of the speaking
voice released by the sender. The
messages are received like any ordi-
nary te~ADhone calls. Receiving the
incoming vibrations without any dis

of the present system.
THE amount of energy" said Dr.
Jewett. required for the sending of
wireless conversation as compared
with that received, is like horsepower
compared with the millionth of mousse
power. This is caused by the electric
waves carrying the voice spreading
out fan-like for thousands of miles.

What do you think of the possi-
bilities of the wireless telephone for
commercial purposes?" DR.. Jewett was
asked.
THE wonderful achievement" said
the genius of the Western Electric
laboratories, will not revolutionize
telephony. In the present state of the
art there is nothing to indicate more
than a limited number of messages
being sent across the ocean stimuli
taneously from one given center. This
is due to the danger of interference
which cannot be avoided. Nor will

Newspapers in every city of the
world recorded the story of September
90, 1915, when the successful estab-
lishment of wireless telephony across
the continent brought to a glorious
reality the dream of scientists fol

Behind the bare news reports of the
successful transmission of the human
voice through the air lies a real ro-
nance. 1t is the tale of more than
500 faithful inventors and engineers
testing out materials and then reject
ing them, constructing models and
then destroying them, night and day
for more than three years in the
throbbing workshops of the Western
Electric Company's laboratories in
New York.
The many heartbTeaking setbacks,
the constant mental and nerve strain
attendant upon the accomplishment OF
an epoch-making objective, only served

At least one hundred of these silent

Bending over their work in this Gre

knowledge was the purpose and spirit
which guided them. They trekked the

Regarding the future of wireless
