THE WONDER OF 1T
WE have become so accustome
wv TO the accomplishment {

WE have become so accustomed
wv TO the accomplishment of
mechanical wonders that even
a long distance conversation such as
that which took place between Gov
ernor Brumbaugh in San Francisco
and more than $50 people in Har-
risburg the other day is subject for
little more than moment of passing
amazement unless We pause Co think
of some of the difficulties overcome
and the remarkable results achieved.
For instance, the sound waves hav-
ing been faithfully converted from
air waves into electrical waves, and
sent out on their journey over the line,
must not interfere with each other;
they must not tumble over each other,
so to speak, or to get in each others
way; they must be sent out-nearly
5000 of them-every second. Some
of them have one shape and some an
other. They are just as different from
each other as the waves of the sea.
These differences in shape. the dis
tance between them, the time be-
tween them, must be faithfully pre-
served and conserved so that at no
point in their journey will they be
changed sufficiently to be noticed. 1t
is not the problem of sending one
simple current, but as many as 120,-
900 a minute. All of these minute
currents, the millions and millions of
than raoujrad for n conversation. must
be carried electrically over the line
to San Francisco, and then converted
back again into the sound waves which
agitate the air of the room and affect
the ear as air waves.
Think also of the fact that if a
voice were loud enough to be heard
from Harrisburg to San Francisco it
would require four hours to traverse
that distance in the air, and then that
the voice by telephone travels the
distance in less than one-fifth of a
second. And time is annihilated as
we'll as space, for the Harrisburg
guests, sitting comfortably in their
chairs at the Capitol, noted that the
clock pointed to when the CONVEX
sation began, while those at the other
end of the wire heard them speak at
high noon, this being the difference in
time between the two places. Not
since Marconi invented the wireless
has there been such a remarkable
achievement in the way of long dis
tance communication as this across
the-continent line of the Bell Tele-
phone Company.

INCREASE IN TONNAGE

CHIPPING figures show that there
y are more vessels on the ATTAIN
tic now under the American
flag, as a result of the war in Europe,
than at any time since Civil war days; !;
this, regardless of the fact that the
LaFollette seamen's act, has forced
out of business practically all of the
American steamship lines on the Pa
cific where the pressure of the war
abroad is not so keen as in the East.
This, one would imagine, would
give the Wilson administration pause
for thought in its proposed ship-pur-
chase legislation. But not SO. The
President is determined to buy ships
to place in competition with private
owned vessels in order that more pri-
vate capital may be tempted into sea-
going investment. The idea is pre-
.posterods, but it will be nevertheless

INDIscREET DEMOCRATIC ORGANS

[From the Scranton Republican.J
Partisan Democratic organs appear
anxious to make political capital in
the coming campaign out of the ad-
ministration's foreign policy. They
would do well to curb their impetuos-
ity. IA they are indiscreet enough to
precipitate a discussion tending to en-
barrass President Wilson, with a lot of
they are likely to invite trouble.
1t is too soon for the practical poli-
ticians to pluck the fruits of the ad
ministration's achievements in foreign
diplomacy. Besides, they should bear
in mind the fact that representative
Republicans and newspapers have
stood by President Wilson through the
entire crisis of his negotiations for the
assertion of American rights, and are
still standing by him in behalf of this
patriotic principle.

UNCLE SAM LEADS AS WORLD EX-
PORTER

[From Beaver Falls Evening Tribune. ]
With Great Britain at war and the
industrial centers of the United King
dom diverted to the manufacture Of
munitions, there Is a consequent falling
off in exports which approximated a
billion and three-quarters dollars last
year as against two and one-half bill
lions in 1914. With such conditions pre-
war exports soaring, the United States
gains first place among exporting ma
tions of the world. Our total of ex-
ending June 80 and dispatches from
Washington this week indicate that the
peak load of the ammunitions exports
did not develop until late this Spring.

The State From Day to Day

"The erection of a public bath
house in Erie, at a cost of $152, was
the signal for a protest from several
of the city commissioners on the
score that the expenditure was an eX-
travagance. Fifteen hundred baths
were taken. which made the rate
about ten cents each. They were
fairly economical and certainly did
more than that amount of good"
holds DIR. Wright, the health officer"
Erie Evening Herald. That cleanli-
seems to cut no figure in the estima-
ton of the councilmen.
The psychological influence of
music is the subject of investigation
by physicians who formed the Ma
tional Society of Musical Therapeutics
year ago, according to the New
Castle News. Health can be easily
affected one way or another by the
various kinds of music, is the theory.
Ragtime, for instance, is likely to
rouse depressed persons from their
m melancholy and create a happier,
more optimistic spirit; sad and
pathetic music will soothe the excit-
able and hypernervous.

At the autumn dance of the Free
From Kare Klub, held at Winsted,
Conn, the pleasure of the evening was
considerably diminished by the pres
ence. in the grand piano, of an adult
spiced pussy. The effect on the music
was equalled only by the effect on
the personnel of the party. 1t was
not until about 10 o'clock that the
fatal strings, upon which the skunk
was resting, were struck by the
pianist Naturally the animal acted
upon impulse, and the hall was soon
cleared. The culprits have not been
captured as yet.
The final blow against the whisker
is being delivered by great industrial
concerns in the East that declare 1t

The Searchlight
AUTOMATIC MUSIC TEACHERS

A music teacher of New York has
devised means by which the phono-
graph may be of material assistance
in teaching. He has provided records
upon which the different counts are
given. For instance. the 1, count
runs in one continuous groove or cir
Gle on the record and the 1, 2, in
another and so on until the counting
is complete with six separate circles.
Examples in oral text cited by the
teacher are upon one side and upon
the other the oral count of beats. The
record of oral instruction sings as a
teacher the bars of the music empha-
sizing the count as "One, two, one,
two one, two, three. four Thank
you" and so on throughout the lesson.
This automatic coach is ever ready
to repeat the instruction or the count
and its infinite perseverance will go
far toward overcoming the terror of
the practice hour to the youngster
who has found it difficult to secure
the required rythmic time.

PEACE WITH HONOR

The United States has won a great
diplomatic and moral victory in the
square acceptance by Germany Of
those principles concerning neutral
rights on the high seas for which our
State Department has been contending
since last February. To positive de-
mand, firmly, but courteously reiter-
ated, and supported by the overw elm
ing preponderance of American opin-
ion, the answer. most gracefully ex-
pressed in Count Won Bernstorffs note
to Mr.. Lansing, is unqualified acuui-
escence; for the stipulation that liners
carrying noncombatants shall not try
to escape or offer resistance is merely
rule of war. Ten thousand words cpuId
add nothing to the simple announce-
ment that President Wilson has sue
ceded in this controversy in preserv-
honor.
