WIRELESS MUSIC USED FOR A Dance

TO the reporter. doctor Armstrong of
columbia has been doing research
work along these lines for many years.
ana he has at last turned out device
that will multiply sound 500 to 1000
times. The De Forest amplifier multi
piled sounds II to IS times. The prin-
ciple is somewhat the same, the diff
ference being that the Armstrong in
strument has complex repeating ac-
ton, while the De Forest instrument
has single repeating action.
Together, the instruments make 1t
simple to telephone by wireless, and
there's no reason why New Yorkers
should not be telephoning to Chicago
regularly except that the Instruments
have not yet been put to commercial
use. That is because of the many
legal fights that are taking place over
the fundamental radio patents, and be-
cause of the field being practically tied
up at the present time by the Marconi
company. But there's nothing to ere
vent amateurs from using these in
struments.
1T would be Just as ensy to trans
init the music of an entire opera from
the metropolitan opera house as to
transmit this phonograph music that
is being played tonight. 1t would only
be necessary to have the sending ap-
paratus within range of the voices in
the Metropolitan. With the ampli-
fiers now being used the music could
be transmitted about 200 miles,"
Mr.. Cooley said that the amplifier
perfected by Doctor Armstrong re-
sembled the headlight of an automo-
bile. Instead of the light filament,
there are two electrodes. There is
vacuum in the bulb, and in an in
candescent light. and the weak sound
enters on one electrode, while the pow
erful sound issues from the other.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BH RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes chemical analy-
sis of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys nre doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back, to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one
year, in the State of New York alone.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary to
pay more attention TO the health of thess
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy
is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases. is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get swamp Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in
bottles of two sizes-50c and sl00.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
kilmer Il Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for =
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

New York.-A bulletin issued by the
New York chamber of commerce
shows that during the first eleven
months of the calendar year there
were constructed in the shipyards OF
this country 1,066 vessels, with n
gross tonnage of 4SS,446 tons.
This means that for every working
day in the year more than three ves-
sells of more than l 1000 tons were add
ed to the fleet that sails under the
Stars and Stripes. The compilation
does not include 20 wooden vessels
and 13 steel vessels built for foreign
ers.
OF the 4Ss,448 tons built for do
nestle demand, wooden construction
included only 127,276 tons, or 26O5
per cent, while steel construction COM
prised 361.170 tons or 1894 per cent.
Nearly two-thrds of the steel con-
struction was built at yards on the

Sent From Distance of Forty
Miles, 1t is Heard All Over
the House.
DOUBLE AMPLIFIERS ARE USED
Inventions of Doctor Armstrong of
Columbia University and Lee de
Forest Make Experiment at
Morristown, N. j., Success.

New York.-What was declared to
be the worlds first wireless dance was
held recently at Morristown, N. j., at
the home of Theodore e. Gaty. His
two sons-John Z. and Theodore e.
Gaty, Jr., the latter home from Cornell
for the holidays-got up "A dance and
throughout the evening the seven or
eight couples who had been invited
danced to music that was played on a
phonograph in Highbridge, at the
. northern end of Manhattan, about 40
miles away from Morristown by air
line.
Mr.. Gaty and his sons are enthusias-
tic amateurs in the science of radio
telephony and telegraph. A friend. p.
f. Cooley of Montclair, who is radio
engineer, made use of the Lee de For
est audion detector and the sound
amplifier invented by DIR. Edwin ii.
Armstrong of Columbia, the inven-
dons which made transcontinentul tel
ephony possible, as well as a wire
less telephone message to Honolulu.
Mr.. Cooley, who is only twenty-seven
years old. adapted the two devices to
amateur use and attached them to a
phonograph horn in the Gaty home.
Taken by Amateur Receiver.
The phonogrnph that furnished the
dance music was played In the High
bridge plant of the De Forrest Radio
Telephone and Telegraph company,
and the musical sound waves were re-
ceived by the amateur receiver over
Mr.. Gaty's house.
When the faint sounds, which, COM
ing from the receiver, could scarcely
be detected by the ear, passed through
1.-THE combined sound amplifiers and
then through the megaphone they
could be heard all over the house.
To show how clearly the sound was
transmitted. Mr.. Gaty telephoned to
the De Forest company's Office at High
bridge and the onerator of the phono-
graph listened to the ground wire tele-
phone. The music when it got back to
him by this route, he said, was even
louder than the original sounds from
the phonograph. A New York Times
reporter called up Mr.. Gaty's house
and the megaphone was placed near
the receiver at that end. The music,
transmitted about 4O miles through air
and then nearly the same distance by
ground wires, could be heard distinct
ly. The phonograph was telling how
she could "yacki hacki wicki wacki
WOO" in Honolulu.
Mr.. Gaty was enthusiastic. He said
that the operator in the De Forest
building announced the number of
each record, its name, and SO forth
when he was about to put it on the
phonograph. and that the spoken an
nouncement could be heard in every
corner of the Gaty house. Mr.. Cooley,
at his home in Montclair, had not
taken the trouble to ask If the expert
ment was successful. He took 1t as a
matter of fact that 1t should be.
All Very Simple.
