MEANS MUCH TO NAVAL MEN
Ability to Communicate Through Wa

tant Discoveries.

Several American battleships and
submarines are now equipped with r,
A. Fessenden's submarine wireless
apparatus. This sends messages more
than thirty miles under water, and
the inventor expects that with expert
ence 1t will be possible so to improve
the apparatus as 10 make It send and

The apparatus starts a metal plate
vibrating so rapidly that it sends
waves Of sound through the water.

times a. Rpidly as through air.
In ar srticle in the American Maga-
zine, Cleveland Moffett quotes Profes-
sor Fessenden as saying:

oscillators in naval warfare, for a bat

ments can talk to its own submarines
while they are miles away and sub
merged and can actually direct their

Back in the palms in the conservatory
two beady black eyes were eagerly
watching.
Chatting with animation, Kennedy
tasted the ice. He had taken only a
couple of spoonfuls when a look of
wonder and horror seemed to spread
over his face.
He rose quickly. A cold sweat
seemed to break out all over him. His
nerves almost refused to respond.
He took only a few steps, began to
stagger, and finally sank down on the
floor.
Elaine screamed.
We rushed in from the library and
drawing room.
He had fallen near the fountain and
one hand dropped over into the water.
AS he fell back he seemed to have
only just enough strength to withdraw
his hand from the fountain. On the

the investigation which the coroner
had asked him to make into the mGr-
der. He and Long Sin moved few
steps away, discussing the affair.
Elaine and were still talking over
the entertainment.
She happened to place her hand on
the desk near Long Sin. My back was
toward him and did not see him start
suddenly and look at her hand. On II
was the ring-the ring which, un-
known to US, Long Sin had found in
the passageway under Aunt Tabbys
garden, of which he had been robbed,
Long Sin decided to recover the ring
by stealth.
Elaine was still talking enthusias-
tically about her party, when Long Sin
turned from Kennedy and moved to-
ward us with bow.
THE lady speaks of an Oriental re-
ception," he remarked. Would she
care to engage a magician"
Elaine turned to him surprised. "Do
you mean that you are a magician%
she asked, puzzled.
Long Sin smiled quietly. He reached
over and took small bottle from Ken
nedy's laboratory table. Holding 1t in
his hand almost directly before us, he
made a few slight-of-hand passes and,
presto! the bottle had disappeared. A
few more passes, and a test tube ap-
peared in its place. Before we knew It
he had caused the test tube to disap-
pear and the bottle to reappear. We
all applauded enthusiastically.
Il don't think that is such a bad
idea after ALL" nodded Kennedy to
Elaine.

The Oriental hangings which Elaine
and Kennedy had purchased seemed |
to breathe mysticism. At the far end |
OF the room a platform had been ar
ranged TO form a stage on which Long |
Sin was to perform his sleight of hand.
Almost everybody had arrived when
Elaine turned TO the guests and intro
duced Long Sin with a little speech.
l shall not attempt to describe the
series of tricks which he per
formed. His hands and fingers seemed
to move like lighting.
He had finished and every one

him on his skill. His only answer,

Head 6ookkeeper Must Be Reliable,

The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm
coffee and tea did for him:
My wife and drank our first cup
Of Postum a little over two years
ago, and we have used it ever since,
to the entire exclusion of tea and
coffee. 1t happened in this way:
i had an attack of pneumonia,
which left me with dyspepsia, or neu.
ralgia Of the stomach. My cup Of
cheer had always been coffee or tea,
but became convinced, after a time,
that they aggravated my stomach
trouble. l happened to mention the
matter to my grocer one day and he
suggested that / give Postum a trial.
Next day it came, and we liked 1t
so much that we will never change
back; for am a well man today and
nave used no medicine.
MY work as chief bookkeeper in
our Cos branch house here is Of q
very combining nature. During my cof-
fee drinking days l was subject to
nervousness and the blues in addi-
tion to my sick spells. These have
left me since l began using Postum

it to those whose work confines them

and anyone who had chanced to see
