EARTH AND WATER SEEN
AS FUTURE RADIO ROUTES
Lieut.. B. A. Morton, Who Con-
ducts Experiments, Is Confident
They Replace Air.

biography will be revolutionized by
transmission through the earth and
water. instead Of the air. as the re-
suit Of discoveries made at a little
experiment station located on q barge
in San Diego bay, it was predicted
today by Lieut.. r. A. Morton of the
Navy radio laboratory at Mare Island,
who conducted the experiments.
First proof of the success Of the
new method of radio Transmission
through the earth, according to Lieut..
Morton, was made when the United
States Navy Department sent a mes
sage from the Annapolis station to
the British admiralty that the dirigi-
BILE R-34 had been sighted OF the
American coast. Lieut.. Morton was
at his Instruments, heard the mes
sage and copied it in its entirety, he
said. AS additional advantage Of the
earth and water transmission he de-
clared that underwater. cables can
be pointed like q gun toward any
station desired and so single out such
q one, whereas aerial antennae are
equally affected by waves from all
directions.

Seems Like a Miracle.

with a crash our gallant ship was
overwhelmed and buried deep beneath
a semi-solid mass of sand and water.
For a GREATNESS eternity we were
submerged; then. groaning in every
timber. the stanch old Wateree strug-
gled again to the surface. with her
gasping crew still clinging to the life
lines-some few seriously wounded,
bruised and battered; none killed; not
one even missing. A miracle it
seemed to US then, and as I look
back through the years 1t seems doubly
miraculous now.
THE morning sun broke on a scene
Of desolation seldom witnessed. We
found ourselves high and dry in a lit
tie cove, or rather indentation, in the
coastline. We had been carried some
three miles up the coast and nearly
two miles inland. The wave had car
ried US over sand dunes bordering the
ocean, across a valley, and over the
railroad track, leaving US at the foot
OF the seacoast range Of the Andes. On
the nearly perpendicular front of the
mountain our navigator discovered
the marks Of the tidal wave, and, by
measurements, found 1t to have been
forty-seven feet high, not including
tho comb. Had the wave carried us
200 feet further, we would inevitably
have been dashed to pieces against
the m0untainside"

tidal wave was upon us at last. Chained
to the spot, helpless to escape, with all
the preparations made which human

watch the monster wave approach

That the ship could rise through the
masses of water about to overwhelm
us seemed impossible. We could

Shaking Of Dreadnaughts by
Quake Recalls Thrilling
Incident of 1868.

Dispatches stating that six dread
naughts of the Pacific feet were shaken
by an earthquake off the coast of Mex
leo recalls an amazing incident in the
annals of the American Navy in which
a United States man of-war was car
ried on the crest of tidal wave three
miles up the coast. two miles inland,
and set down. entirely unframed, upon
the beach within hundred feet of the
Andes" says a bulletin from the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Geographic Society.
This thrilling incident is recounted
in a communication to the society by
one of the participants. Rear Admiral
L. G. Billings, U. s. N, retired, as
follows:
I'm 1858 I was attached to the
U. s. S. Wateree, then on duty in the

built at the close of our civil war to
ascend the narrow. tortuous rivers Of

and was quite fiat-bottomed-a con-
formation which. while 1t did not add
to her seaworthiness. enabled her to
carry large battery and crew. and
eventually saved our lives. in the ca

Rt. Rev. ]. F. Regis Canevin.
bishop of Pittsburgh diocese and
one of the most widely known pre-
iates of the Roman Catholic church
in America, today rounds out SER
vice of 40 years in the priesthood,
having been ordained June 4, 1S49.
The ecclesiastical labors of Bishop
Canevin have been confined almost
wholly to the diocese over which
he now presides. Beginning his
career as a parish priest, the flu
ture prelate gave early evidence of
his ability as an administrator and
was rapidly advanced to positions
of responsibility. Successful SER
vice as rector of st. PauPs Cathed-
raj and as a member of various
administrative boards of the do
cese was followed in 1903 by his
elevation to the bishopric. Bishop
Canevin is the author of various
widely distributed books and
pamphlets on religious subjects
and is also well known for his &C
tivity in the promotion of temper
ance.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a girl
twenty-one and since my mother

make home for my father and two
younger brothers who are fourteen
and eighteen now.
We are fortunate in having a
splendid maid SO l am not tied down
completely, although l manage 10
keep pretty busy. While father was
always kind to mother ana me ne
was always stern with the boys.
Our eighteen-year-old boy was not
mean, but not very tractable and il
seemed as though father were tor
ever Furnishing him. Lately he mas
been growing somewhat sullen.
About two months ago he got
into difficult at school-what t-le
trouble was doesn't matter so much
now, but when father found it out
shortly afterward he was dreadful
ly angry and gave him a severe
whipping. The next morning our
lad was gone. He had packed mis-
bag and gone either in the night or
early morning. For several weeks
we worried about him and father
has tried to trace him. He has writ
ten me twice, but begs me not to
| tell father. He claims he is working
and happy and neither time has he
asked for money. / cannot under
stand this, because although faith
er was very good about giving him
money, he was never very saving.
l have been asked a number OF
times if have heard from him and
have had to lie to my own father.
Sometimes l think he would be
more lenient with tn boy if he re-
turned. | worry a great deal about
him, for he is inclined to be way
ward. What would you advise me
to do? SINCERELY SISTER.
think you have been doing ex-
actly the right thing. 1t is very
necessary that you keep your
brothers confidence. AS long as ne
has asked you not TO tell yonr
father of his whereabouts you
should not betray his trust.
