The wireless call &C. O." Travelled all
the way from Hazleton. Pa. through the
coal regions. down over the Delaware
River to the Atlantic and thence to the
steamship city of Everett. 100 miles south
of the Diamond Shoals lightship on the
night of January II. Diamond Shoals is
10 miles off Cape Hatteras.
Heavy seas were raging. and S. Towner,
the wireless operator, was keeping a sharp
ear. He feard the call from Hazeton,
400 miles away, and the name of the
sender, Leon G. Maue. AS 1t was dark
and cheerless night, he welcomed the
greeting, and sent Maue the following
letter, which he received recently:
"S. s. City of Everett.
January II, 1916.
'Mr. Leon G.. Maue.
"Hazleton, Pa.
Dear Sir-Perhaps 1t may interest you
to know that | heard you call c. Q. at
10:4O p. m. January II. Your signals came
in loud The ships position at that time
was 100 miles south OF Diamond Shoals
lightship Very truly,
IS. TOWNER (operator).
Home address. 2OS6 vyse avenue, New
York city"
The message was flashed from a small
sending apparatus, which is erected along
different lines from any other now in use.
1t is small in size, but, as proved by the
letter, has exceptional carrying power.
The aerial is inside the home and con-
sists of three wires. 1t is is feet in
length.
The sending apparatus consists of
one-eighth kilowatt transformer, with an
oscillation transformer of Maue's own
make. Tho receiving apparatus consists
of Bitten transformer of the rotary
type and n Ferron detector.
Maue takes a great interest in wireless
telegraphy. He built machine in 1906
which he presented to the Ha2leton Y. NJ.
c. A, and instructed a large number of
Boy Scouts In its use. He also installed
n wireless in the Hazleton township High
School and in the Boy Scouts headquar-
ters at Freeland. Pa.
The success of the indoor aerial. which
was in the nature of an experiment, will
lead, many believe. to further valuable
discoveries in the wireless field

lndia's Jewels.

Though India exports S5,5OO,OOO
worth of jewels annually, she is still
supreme in the world rs the jewel
storehouse for all nations. Diamonds,
rubies. sapphircs, tourmaline, gar
net and many kinds of rare chalce-
dony are mined throughout her many
provinces. RubieS are principally
mined in Upper Burma.
One ruby of 10 caruts, taken out a
few years ago, was valued at 100000,
sapphires are mined in kashmir, but
the mines, after having been worked
for over 900 years, are now said to be
giving out, though the yellow, white,
blue, and green varieties are exten-
sively found in the ruby-bearing gray
els in Burma. Garnets form valu-
able trade in Krishnagar, while large
quantities of turquoise come from Six

country being harder and of darker
and more liquid luster, and having

tntions. The "inattentive" Isaac New
ton. the "dullard" Robert Fulton, the
"indolent" James Russell Lowell, the
"weakminded' David Hume and hun
dreds of others make us challenge our
methods of estimating the powers and
characters of children. These, more
than the disappointments we feel in
the failure of children to develop into
realization of our great expectations,
make us question our standards and
systems and signs.
In view of the common failure to
anticipate the ultimate achievements
of children, it would seem much wiser
to draw all the possible encouragement
and stimulus from the positive mani
fcstations, to watch constantly for the
best, than to fear and despair for the
weaknesses.

PROSPERITY FOLLOWS.

That little business, no less than big
business, Is bettered by prohibition is
shown by the following story told by
DR.. Harvey w Wiley:
at was Saturday afternoon in one
of the interior counties of Arkansas.
Hundreds of vehicles of all sorts
drawn by mules, most of which were
in good condition, were picketed
around the public square. The great
department store, which my guide
owned, was filled with colored people.
They were buying most literally and
were extremely well-dressed and we'll
behaved. l was struck with their ap-
pearance and prosperity and happi-
ness, and l was curious to know why
it was that these people seemed so
much better of than those I had seen
in other localities. l asked the pro-
prietOr, who was freely giving credit
to his customers, If he did not lose on
many accounts. He replied: Never
one How do you account for their
prosperity? I asked. Strictly en-
forced prohibition was his answer.
If we were to permit the saloon to
come into this county again, it would
wreck our prosperity; 1t would ruin
my business and send this town back
so years."
