PHOENIX n RECEIVE
 4 LIT 0F DIAMONDS

Phoenix is going to get the equiva- lent of one-tenth of the one and only shipment of diamonds received in the United States since the war began. Perhaps some of the diamonds will be some of those in the shipment, but at least in value they will represent one tenth the value of the shipment. This information was received in a telegram by The Republican yesterday from Mack Gardner, local diamond merchant MT. Gardner stated he had purchased $40, ,0o0 worth of diamonds, outbidding the biggest diamond brok- CTS in New York to get them. The wire said that MT. Gardner would leave New York, where he has been for some time and would go to Chicago to pur- chase more diamonds for his trade in Phoenix
 Some two weeks ago The Republi- can published New York dispatch which told of the first and only ship ment of diamonds to be received in this country since the war began. The shipment was valued at S400,000 and came from Amsterdam, the diamond cutting center of the world. It repre- sents the only importation of diamonds in this country for several years. And now, according to MT. Gardners tele- gram, the equivalent of one-tenth of the diamonds in the shipment are to come to Phoenix, a far cry from their place of origin.

TREES As As EE|IEECTR|C EIEGT||R|||C,
 APPARATUS RECEIVE
 WIRELESS MESSAGE

Through all the long centuries the earth has existed and man struggled to
 master science and nature, trees have
 been the pieces of electrical apparatus. radiating, conducting and absorbing electrical charges and playing lead ing part in maintaining equilibrium be-
 tween the earth and the upper strata of atmosphere But is has been only in the last decade and half - and principally in the last five years-that man has been able to use this peculiar property of growing plants in com municating from place to place While man has been using, to some extent, trees as pieces of apparatus for electrical communication, it has been only in the last few years that any general knowledge of the use of trees
 sn this connection has come about
 Even now. except to readers of tech
 nical magazines, the part that trees may play in wireless communication is
 almost wholly unknown.
 In the summer of 1904 when the sig
 nal corps of the United States army was conducting experiments in Califor-
 nia- it was found that. due to the dry
 season and the unusual character of Inc SOli, the FeSuldF army DuZZeF anu telephone sets became imperative with any ground or earth terminal, but op- erated all right when connected to a
 naE driven into the trunk CT roots of
 live trees. This discovery led to experi-. ments which resulted in the allies
 being able to "listen" in on radio mes
 sages which were being sent between German airplanes and the German lines.
 Officers of the signal corps would connect an audion set-a device which operators use to magnify the little dots and dashes used in wireless telegraphy ito a nail driven into a tree trunk and thus set up receiving apparatus
 which could intercept. the eneiny's
 messages in places where it would
 have been impossible to transport a field wireless set.
 According to Maj. Gen. George O.. Squier. chief signal officer of the United States army. who tells of some of his work in an article in the Elec- trical Experimenter. it is difficult to

TEMPE, Aug. 11.-C. O,Austin has just closed a deal whereby Thomas J. Parry of Tempe becomes the owner of the old home place of the late W. T. Cummings. Mir. Cummings. soon after coming to Arizona back in the "sev- enties;" located a homestead one mile and half southwest of the then little village of Tempe. MT. Cummings. with his wife, lived and reared large family in the old home for nearly 40 years, whe nhis wife passed on to the beyond. Mir. Cummings remained on the ranch until his death two years ago. So now the nine living children, the heirs of MT. and Mrs. Cummings, Scattered over Arizona and California building homes for themselves, have let the old home place pass into the hands of Mir.

predict what part trees may play in communication in the future.
 A metallic electrode, he says, when driven into living tree is intimately connected with the earth itself and is subject to all the changes of potential represented by the innumerable fre- quencies required in modern radio telephony and teiea,raphy as well as any other electrical disturbances which may occur on the surface of the earth or the atmosphere above the earth.
 We may consider a growing tree as a highly organized piece of living earth, to be used in the same manner as we now use the earth as universal con- ductor for telephony and telegraphy and all other electrical purposes.
 In the war a chain of receiving sta tions were established in different parts of the United States which re- corded and copied enemy and allied messages from stations in Europe for the general staff. These communica- tions were readily received from across the Atlantic by simply laying a small piece of chicken wire netting on the ground for one terminal and connect ing the other to a nail driven into tree.
 An arrangement which Gen. Squier says is one of the best for receiving radio communications is to have one terminal of an audion set connected to nail driven into tree near the top and the other to several short pieces of insulated wire sealed at the ends, lt.,fsr buried a few inches beneath the sur face of the ground.
 A striking advantage of this ar rangement is found in it's flexibility, as wireless and wire systems can be linked up together. In Washington radio telephone messages were re- ceived from airplanes by means of a tree antenna arrangement, transferred to the telephone system of the city and finally heard at any point desired.
 That physicists should devote more time to the relation between plant life and physical phenomena is the belief of General Squier for he concludes his article by saying s'It is believed that vegetation should be studied more sys- tematically from a distinctly physical standpoint, than has been done in the past. Physics has been said to be the mother of all the sciences and more and more the physical method of studying all science is proving to be the true one, as is evidenced by the great advance in recent years, in com paratively new branches of scientific work, such as astrophysics and phy- sical chemistry. Has not the time ar rived for more systematic study of physical botany in the light of the electric theory of matter?"

The light fingered fraternity seldom pick the pockets of a cross-eyed or clubfooted person. To doso would mean courting disaster. Finding a twisted coin among the contents of a stolen purse will often induce pickpocket to throw the purse away. The keeping of it is supposed to signify early arrest.

DAIRY cow is ECONOMICAL
UtiIizes Coarse Materials, Inedible to
Humans, and Turns Them Into
Food Material.

Two facts stand out prominently az
reasons for the increased production
and use OF milk. The first is that
milk as purchased on the market
usually supplies food material together
with the growth-producing elements
more economically than either meal
or eggs. The second reason Is that
the dairy cow Is the most economical
producer OF animal food. One great
law Of food conservation is to turn
lnedible feeds into edible foods IN
the cheapest possible manner. Tne
dairy COW will utilize coarse mate
rails, inedible to humans-such o.
grass, cornstalks and hay-and VIII
turn them into milk. Other farm AMI
mails also are converters of coarse
roughage into edible foods. but are
not so efficient as the dairy COW.

SEAL OF SILENCE BROKEN
System Of Sending and Receiving

New YOrk.-As the seal placed upon
the activities of Americas inventors
by the war is broken. news Of many in
teresting achievements unknown to the
public during the conflict are being
brought to light. A system Of sending

Konrad Detzler, German army en-

Guinea jungle since the beginning Of
the war, has come back to civilization
and now is in an internment camp in
Australia. Detzler's story Is on a par
with other romantic incidents of the
war as it affected the South sea.
Detzler holds captains commission.
When the war beganh he was surveying
the boundary line between the then
Kaiser Wilhelmland, or German New
Guinea, and Papua, or British New
Guinea. He decamped into the bush.
This was a risky act, for the bushmen
prefer human flesh above all other
kinds. When an Australian force oc-

WAR INVENTIONS
COMING TO LIGHT

neers that obviously some system of
simultaneous sending and receiving
would have to be invented before wire
less telephony would ever become com
mercially practicable. Switching from
one apparatus to another to send and
receive would be annoying and delay
ing. For instance, the user of the tele-
phone on this side Of the Atlantic says:
Hello" into the mOuthpiece. Then
he has to switch to another apparatus
to catch the answer from Europe. And
perhaps his friend overseas is doing
the same thing, and the attempt at
conversation develops into sort Of
hide-and-seek game There was also
the problem of bringing the wireless
telephone to the home of the user. If
one has to travel to Washington or
New Brunswick to use the wireless tel
ephone it is scarcely saver of time
or money.
Doctor Alexanderson has devised q
system of separate sending and re-
ceiving antennae, the sending and re-
ceiving stations interconnected by a
wire line and further connected to the
exchange Of the local telephone sys-
