LIBRARY NOTES AND
COMMENT ON BOOKS
Library Book
On Wireless

An Instructive book on wireless,
suitable both for the boy Just begin
ming to study this art and also for
the expert, has been added to the
other books on this subject at the
local public library. "Harper's Wire
edition which was written by A
Hyatt Verrill,, a writer who has the
ability to put difficult explanations In
such simple form that all can under
stand. Two other books by the same
author but not on this subject are at
the local library and have proven
popular. they being THE Book of
the Motorboat" and "The Book of
the Sailboat."
In his last book Mr.. Verrill begins
by telling something of what wireless
Is, the history of its progress and it's
various uses. He then explains the
Instruments necessary, their use, how
they may be made if the operator
has not sufficient money to purchase
them and how and where to install
the wireless outfit.
The book tells the amateur how.
after he has gotten his set complete,
to secure the attention of some other
operator. how to adjust the tuning
coil. get the correct wave lengths,
how to take down messages and how
to send also. There are three codes
given which the operator Is supposed
to commit to memory and there are
also the abbreviations which stand
for so much in this means of COM
munlcation. Laws concerning the
sending Of messages and receiving Of
same. together with full regulations
are contained in this book.
One Of the interesting features is
an exact reproduction of q wireless
message received telling of the sink
ing OF the Titanic and how 1t was
translated by the various newspapers
TO make sense.
This book like others in the Harp
er's How To" series Is one of the
clearest written books on this subject
which may be secured.

WANT KAISER EXPELLED
FROM BOSTON YACHT CLUB

Boston, March 10. - The Eastern
Yacht club has had a stormy ses-
sion over the question Of expelling
the kaiser. who is an honorary
member. The matter was finally
dropped when bylaw was recalled
which provides that q member
against whom charges are made
must be given hearing.
The kaiser was elected member
as a compliment for Germanys hos
pitaiity to American yachtsmen in
1907 during the Sender races at Kiel
for the Emperor William cup.
Prince Henry then entertained
members Of the club, and they were
presented to the emperor
The reason given by proponents
of the kaiser's expulsion was that
he had been guilty of conduct inim-
ical to the best interests of the
United States.
