energy. The Arlington towers are ex- amples of this plan and they have been | copied throughout the chain of naval stations.
 The antenna, the name applied to
 the section of the apparatus which comprises the actual transmitting and receiving agency, is really an insulated
 conductor suspended between towers. A difference of opinion also exists as to what constitutes the most efficient form for these. In any case, regard less of forms. they are a mass of
 bronze wires suspended between tow CTS to excite-that is, when sending messages-the ether in the atmos- phere by electrical means. They are charged with a high voltage from the stations source of power; this causes an explosion in the ether similar to dropping a stone into a smooth pond. The waves from the electrical splash are picked up by the antenna of the receiving station. It is possible to ad- just these waves to an exact length and both transmitting and receiving stations can be tuned to correspond.
 Uncle Sam is singularly equipped to perfect his knowledge of radio com munication. With high-powered sta tions on both of this country's coasts, it is possible to make all kinds of ob- servations. 1t has been found that climate makes a great difference in wireless transmission. On the Pacific Coast the climatic conditions seem to be ideal, even small outfits work two and three times the distance that they do on the Atlantic Coast.
 East or west, 1t is not an easy mat ter to chose a site for a giant radio station. They demand much in the way of setting. First of all, the elec- trical conditions in the way of ground connections must be good. No high mountains or tall buildings should be nearby, for they absorb the magnetic waves. And in these war times the question of defense is vital one. A high tower makes a fine target and it is especially desirable to an enemy to paralyze sources of communication. For this reason towers must be To- cated far inland to secure immunity from gun fire.
 It would appear that radio station is a very fastidious piece of mechan- ism, as witness the amount of thought they demand. But mere thought is not all that is expended upon them.

 When Ivan III came to the throne a new era was inaugurated-a reign of terror-for he at once made war on Novogorod and Pskov, killed about 27,000 people and compelled their richest citizens to settle, in Moscow. He also made war on the German merchants and sent a number of them to prison. He allowed the relatives of bis deceased mother to be massacred, accusing them of setting fire to Mos COW. His love of carnage increased with his age and the most trif1ing offense meant an orgy of blood. car ried out in, the Czar's presence. He had an ungovernable temper and in a fit of fury slew his own son by hitting him over the head with a bludgeon. This instrument is preserved in the historical museum at Moscow. The old execution block, where scenes of carnage were staged for his amuse- ment, still stands and has become a nesting place for birds. He believed that the majority of his subjects were guirty of treason and by his inl1uman methods of putting down treason" he created a feeling of rebellion, and anarchy was fostered among the peo- pie.

 VT HEN the first wireless station
 was erected by Guglielmo Marconi on November 1. ;" 1897. at Alum Bay in the Isle of Wight, 1t would have been difficult to convince the men who witnessed his early experiments = remarkable as they were at that time in covering a range of fourteen miles-that within enc short span Of nineteen years the world would be dotted with wireless towers.
 But such is the truth. The develop ment of radio communication has been phenomenal and the radio sta- lions which exist today must exceed in both height and power those which Marconi himself visualized when he saw the significance of the great fact that electromagnetic waves can be used for telegraphing without wires. Indeed, this is one of the fascinat- ing phases of the development of radio telegraphy. It has given rise to a
