Roanoke Times on Tazewcll Trip.

The following appeared in yester-
days Roanoke Times about the visit
of The Boosters to Tazewell:
while every town has given us a
welcome, Tazcwell stands out as the
brightest spot of today's itinerary.
When we reached the station at North
Tazcwell mt 30 p. mr.. it seemed that
the entire population of that energetic
little town was ut the train to meet
us and that everybody in TaZewell
owned an automobile. Forty or fifty
machines We're ut our disposal and
every Booster had seat in car
under the direction of TaZewell and
North Tazewell Board of Trade.
Plans for an auto trip had been
made and it took but few minutes
to load Boosters and whisk them
away from the station out into the
beautiful country that is marvel
10 those who have never seen this
bluegrass section of Virginia. Rolling
hills and green with their thick COW
crlng of bluegrass border the roads
and off in the distance rise other
hills, green to top, the wonder of
Tazcwe!l county and its great wealth
lies IN rich land which produces green
and sufficient feed for cattle at an
altitude which would stunt plant
growth on poorer soil.
And roads, Fine macadam in and
out, around hills they wind, smooth
and lined with picturesque beauty
this trip. was the most enjoyable of
the day"

strong leather strap around the mid

A WIRELESS MESSAGE.

In this age science is inventing
many useful and profitable machines
and devices. They are for the benefit
of those who will use them, or who
are not disposed to "lct we'll enough
alone" and to do things in the old
way because they are too inert to
learn new and better way.
One of the recent important and
valuable inventions is the wireless
telegraph apparatus with which cleo
trio waves sent out into space can be
detected. These waves travel in all
directions ut Speed of $4,000 miles
per second and can be detected at
places several thousand miles dis
tant from their starting point. They
travel farther over water than over
land, farther at night than during the
day, and farther in winter than in
summer. Therefore, at any particular
station they can be heard best on n
clear cold night.
The waves have various lnn~'l,s
ranging ordinarily from $50 yarui 20
5000 yards, according to the appara-
tus used. The length of those sent
out by the government station ut Ar
lington is about 2700 yards and by
the navy $50 yards. The waves from
receiving of waves from another sta
ton because the receiving apparatus
IS tuned Tor one particular wave
length at Il time.
"'Thc tuning" is done by changing
the length of the WIRE in the circuit
with the aerials. The longer the wire
the longer the wave that can be
caught. The length of the wire is
chnged by using coils of wire called
HInnIInu In1nninnnnO
coils" The principle of tuning" is
analogous TO the tuning of n STREET
ched string ii. e. changing the note)
by changing its length-the shorter
the string, the higher the pitch, and
the shorter the sound wave emitted.
In the town Of Tazrwell there is at
least one progressive citi1en-Mr. IL.
w. Fo5st. the Jcwelcr. He has re-
Gently installed Il wireless telegraph
plant under the supervision of DR..
c. NJ. Tilby, Of Randolph Macon Wo-
mans Colleg, ana his plant is now
receiving the wireless time signals
sent out from Arlington at II noon
and 10 p. m. daily. AS Western Union
time service has not been available
here, accurate clock-time couli not
be securd. Now Mr.. Pobst can set
his clocks to Washington time with
an error less than l second.
Any one wishing to hear the sig
nails may do so by calling at Mr..
Pobsts store at 10 p. m. and night
Mr.. Pobst is to be congratulated for
ms progressiveness ana is entitled
to the thanks Of the citizens of Taze-
well.
Since the installation of this wire
ess outfit by DR.. Ki!by, Mr. Ralph
9r::ard, son of Rev. and Mrs. w. S.

charge of the plant of Mr.. Pobst and

cd a small sending plant at his home
IN this town, and has on one or more
occasions sent messages to Mr.. Pobst's
