Editor Edgefeld Advertiser:
Just a few hundred yards from
the Fort at a little place called
Radio, Va, stand the three tall
towers that support the antenna
Of the great Radio Wireless Sta
ton, also known as Arlington Wire.
less Station. Two of the steel
towers stand 45O feet in the dir and
$50 feet apart, 400 feet from these
two stands the 600 foot tower which
forms the apex of an isosceles tri-
angle, the base being line between
the two $50 feet towers.
The plant was completed in 1913.
The building for the wireless sta
ton is divided into three parts.
One section for receiving messages,
another for sending and the third
for the lavatories and living quar-
ters..for the station personnel.
1t requires 200 II. P. motor to
drive the radio transmitter dynamos
and rotary spark gap machine. This
belongs to sending room.
In sending a message the current
from the sending switch is led thru
a transformer and stepped up to
25, 900 vots, then TO a rotary spark
gap machine. This rotary spark
gap machine has 4s revolving spokes
and makes 1850 R. P. III. This
gives 1000 sparks per second pro.
ducing a rapidly vibrating sound
wave. The sending switch is ope-
rated by a magnet and controlled
from a Morse telegraph key.
From the rotary spark gap the
sound waves pass turn transfor-
mer tuning coil which omits the
electromagnetic waves into the
ether. The waves travel along the
earth's surface to the receiving sta
tions.

ditions. The Navy Department

FRIDAY Triangle presents "NANCY COMES HOME" By B. D. Garber.
FRIDAY

Nancy Comes Home" is a highly amusing story illustrating the futil. ity of parents keeping their children too closely confined. Nancy didn't take long to unload a cargo of troubles at the home port when sle found that her parents were going out for a good time and were leav. ing her at home in fourteen-year- old short dresses. In the unloading she stirred up such excitement and so many complications for herself and parents that the latter swore never again" Parents will find an interesting moral in this story
 snappy with action and meaty with thought-morsels. "Nancy Comes Home" features two Keystone fav- orites in this Triangle photoplay Myrtle Lind and George Pierce.

A German War Submarine with Part of
Grew on Deck.
By CLiUe Marshall

"AIy position IS $50 mony) degrees north and
$50 many degrees west Come ana get me.
I'm waiting for you. Hans Rose"
THIS IS the mysterious and taunting wireless
message coming from somewhere out of the
sea that American ships and others travelling
the Atlantic ocean, have been receiving daily for
some time. The tone Of this message indicates
that It is intended for the commando OF any Amer
ican warshp and 1t IS needless TO say that Uncle
Sans jacldes are keen to accept the challenge
but up to this writing. they have been unable to
locate their mysterious challenger
An investigation Of these mysterious wireless
messages ls reported to have revealed the identity
OF the signer as Hans Rose the German U-boat
commander who took Il submarine into Newport
two years ago, welcomed society aboard his craft
and then went out and sank several steamships
almost within shooting distance of Nantucket.
Not only does this U-boat captain send his
taunting message to the man he has never seen,
but he goads him further by flashing a message
defining the position Of the destroyer that is seek
ing him.
While it s dsquetng for the American com.
mander ne has no fears Twice 1t IS stated. ne
has swiftly guided his craft to the location de,
scrIbed by his enemy, but has found nothing and
seen nothing. Still the mysterious wireless dis.
patch comes, no matter where the destroyer may
be. Others catch It, and thus is circulated the
weird story of the mystery OF the U-boat5
How Do They Know?
How is this German U-boat commander en-,
Rbled so audaciously to reveal not only his own
position but that of his foes as we'll and get away
with it,? How does he so accurately determine
the position Of his enemy Far from his base
how does the U-boat commander keep in touch
with his home port and how does he get his sup,
plies? The answer TO these questions will explain
the mystery Of the German U-boats whose methods
Of murder and assassination on the high seas Of
neutral and enemy alike have caused within the
past year loss Of nearly 90O0,000 tons of ship
ping alone according TO striking figures on the
present shipping situation with regard to the sub

resourceful Germans may have solved TINS prooiehi
may be found In an invention recently pdten'eu
b,, pbuiDpo l. z del Fungo-Giera OF New YORK
citv Acting on the idea that since automobiles
and motor trucks have trailers and why not suD-
marines Mr.. Fungo-Glera, whose invention ma!
have been anticipated by the Germans, deslgneu
a tender or trailer which submarines may I1sR
over the high seas as unConcemedIy as far ner
hauls his milk cans in tWo-Wheeled Vehlcie pe'
hind his Hvver.
Mr. FungoGiera's invention is described IN
ponular Science Monthly consisting Of "a ten
der about 30 feet long which can be submerged
= convenient distance from the field of operation
and thus concealed from the enemy In 1t, fuel
sunn1ies compressed oxygen oil and other stores
arc carried When the submarine runs out OF such
necessaries 1t can return to the tender ana rene"
its store The frequent long trips to and from
naval base are largely eliminated
The Depth Bomb"
One OF the first things the Germans did to add
70 the mystery Of their U-boats was to resort to
the strategy OF camoufage by painting the coming
towers and periscopes OF their submarines in black
an, white checker-board fashion, thus rendering
them practically invisible to enemy ships, even at
short distance.
While science has developed many things to
enable the Uboat so successfully to mask It's move
ments on the other hand science too, has brought
forth remarkable inventions to aid in the extinc
tion Of these enemy wasps of the sea.
Chief among the most effective weapons
against the U-boat Is the depth bomb" whose
success is due to the fact that water cannot be
compressed When an explosive is set off under
water, the gas generated must find its way some.
where Thus the great quantities of gas and water
are thrown into very violent motion, sufficiently
powerful, in fact, to crush the shell OF a U-boat
1t is estimated that four cubic feet Of trlntro
toluol exploded Will produce 10000 cubic feet OF
gas 1t will be very easy to see what will become
of a submarine If 1t happens to be within range OF
this tremendous expansion. Five hundred pounds
of this explosive 1t is said, will utterly destroy
any U-boat within 125 feet of the discharge.
The depth bomb finds the U.boat an easy mark
II the submarine can be accurately
located and the bomb discharged at
just the right place before the u
boat can alter Its position.

Of more than 200 miles at most. The latest Ideas
IN such equipment has been introduced by the Ger

the Atlantic coast Of the United States and remain
in instant touch with her base in Berlin.
