all came from monograph on Man
haitian island, 40 miles away and they
came by the air route. They were
picked out of the ether by marvel
Gus device which not only caught the
sounds. but multiplied them several
hundred times. Music has often been
transmitted by wireless, but It has
been necessary to hold special wire
less receiver to the ear to hear It. In
this case the music was distinctly au-
dible all over the house and the dane
ers had no difficulty in keeping step
to it. 1t was said to be louder than
the original music as it came from
the photograph.
This is one Of the most striking
triumphs of the new science of WIRE
less telephony. The instruments used
are said to be within the reach of am
ateurs and the possibilities thus OPP
ened up are surprising. A radio engi-
neer who participated in the Morris

such development in the future-the
best music played and sung by great
artists received by wireless either by
public gatherings or by families at
home? An opera thus transmitted
would be accessible to anybody with.

ceivably be grand opera audience of

like the imposition of a court martial
sentence Of six months at hard labor
on john w. Biggars, of Tampa, is a
unnecessarily severe punishment for
a rather trifling offence. Biggars was

bune, and sent to that paper from
Laredo certain articles at which his
superior officials took umbrage. To a
civilian the action of the court mar
