CABLE NAY BE
 MADE WIRELESS

Seattle Nov. 2S-Tae Alaska-Se- attle cable operated by the United States Army Signal Corps, will soon be supplemented by wireless ser vice, according 10 pr. Louis Wins low Austin, head of the United States Naval RadiO4Telegraphic La boratory at Washington, D. C. He Is at The New Washington, says the Seattle Times.
 Dr. Austin is working on experi- ments here for the purpose of i'm proving the cable service between Seattle and Alaska. The Newport wireless station. he says. will be completed next year and conner .cial service will be available from there to Cordova where the big na- " wireless station is located. It Is planned entirely tQ eliminate the cable, but the business is grow ing at such a rate that the neces- sitv for auxiliary service Is becom- ing readily apparent.
 "Government ownershFq and opeT- ation of the wireless plans of the country could surely be looked for in times of trouble, but I have no reason for thinking the government will take over these plants now" '" said Dr. Austin. Tt is very hard to get the structural steel neces- sary for building large stations and this may cause the purchase of a few stations for use by the navy department,

Oldest Bank in fine World.

It is thought that the oldest bank in the world Is the PalaZzo San Giorgio. on the Piazza Caricamento, in Genoa. This institution has played a promi- nent role in the history of the Italian city. It was built In the year 1260 by order of Guglielmo Boccanegra, cap tain" of the republic of Genoa, and after serving as his residence was the headquarters of the famous company and bank of St. George.
 It is held that the modern system of banking sprang from this historic ed lice and that the SOcleta Dele Com prere di San GIorgio was the first Tim tied liability company" The architect of the building was a monk named OH7iero. Although It's architecture has undergone a number of changes, the facade still speaks elOquently of the thirteenth century. Its arcades with pointed arches1 and its windows form ed of little columns are exceedingly attractiTe.-Washington Star.

DARK DISTILLED
 BfDISCOVEBE

Anew discovery is reported this week from Rome, Italy, signor Giu- lio uiyi, the inventor of "F'' rays, who was badly injury in labora- tory experiment. after many months spent in a military hospital at Mi Ian, now announces that he has succeeded in applyiug the invisible 3nfra red waves beyond the red band of the spectrum to detect ob- jects in darkness by determining. their length. if. .............
 The new invention is known as. "scotcscopia," meaning vision in darkness and consists of a search light emitting invisible rays which illuminate distant objects and rem der them visible only to the ob- server. Thus by means of scotos- epic searchlgihts warships are en- abled to see without being seen
 Photographs or rather scoto- graphs of objects in darkness can be taken and enlarged SO that enemy coasts can be mapped. The inVen- tion can be used on land and sea as we'll as in the air, so that it will be found most useful in waging war against submarines and in de- fense against aerial craft.
 Signals can be exchanged inyisi- ply between ships equipped with scotoscopic apparatuses, and oth- CT practical applications of this wonderful invention can be easily obtained.
