 Messages in All Directions.
 It has sometimes been urged that the radiation Of messages in all di- rections, so that al and sundrv can receive them, IS a disadvantage. This fault has been eliminated already, for it is now possible to transmit a, mes sage directly and exclusively to the receiving agent or station for which 1t is intended. It is from this system Of selection and direction of mes sages. which is only in it's infancy that the next wireless developments will spring.
 The next great development will be in wireless telephone. Already this is an accomplished fact-far beyond the experimental stage-and during the next few years there will be some wonderful improvement made.
 It will be- quite possible before many years have passed to speak by wireless from one end of the earth to the other; and even interplanetary communication is a possibility.
 Will in be possible, when these i'm provements have been made, to see
 
 is being held, although thousands of miles may lie between the speakers? There is no reason to the contrary. If voice can be transmitted. if signals can be regulated, it should be quite possible to send an impression of a face and figure. I regard the in vention of an instrument which will enable even those who are thousands of miles apart to see each other as scientifically feasible.
 As regards a method of entering into communication with the inha bi- tants of other planets, there are many problems to be considered Proba bly, the least difficult to solve is the in vention of an instrument by which the signals should be transmitted. AL ready inexplicable things are hap pening; and it is quite possible that they may be reducable to something intelngible when we have gained enough knowledge to enable us to de- cipher the signals which are being re- corded.
 Mysterious Messages.
 From time to time our operators in various parts of the world have re- ported the receipt of strange and in comprehensive signals It is, of course. rash to jump to the concIu- sion that they are messages from Mars, or elsewhere. It may or i- may not be so. Most probably they are merely the records of some at mospheric phenomenon about which nothing is known If, however. com munication could be esta blished with the planets (and believe it will bel all the difficulties would not be sur mounted. It would then be necessary to establish an inter planetary Ian- guage-assuming. of course, that the planets are inhabited, and that life on them IS on a similar or better plane of scientific development

In fixing the blame for the light

Get Ready for
The Census Takers.

a RlDAY, January 2, 1920, between
. two hundred and fifty and
three hundred men and women will
start out to take the census of Biz
mingham and Jefferson county. In
the city they will have two weeks in
which to complete their work. and in
the country until the last day of Jan
uary.
1t is important that every person
man, woman and child-in the CITY
and the county be listed by the emu
merators. Birminghams population
lncreasde about two hundred and
fortyfive per cent in the decade end
ing in 1910, jumping from about
thirty-eight thousand in 1900 to one
hundred and thirty-two thousand six
hundred and eighty-five in 1910.
Part of this increase was attributed
to the annexation of number of sub
urban towns, but there was a large
increase in all the territory embraced
IN the present boundaries of the citv.
While no such percentage can be
expected in the 1920 census, vet 1t is
believed that when all reports are in.
the population figures for Birming-
ham will be we'll above two hundred
thousand, possibly close to two hun
dred and fifty thousand.
The county is believed to have con-
siderably over three hundred thou
sand population at present, and un-
less the census figures show some
thing above this there will be disap-
pointment.
In order to make sure that every
perGon is enrolled in the census books.
the necessary data should be prepared
and left at home with some member
of the family in preparation for the
coming of the enumerators. The ter
ritory each of these must cover is
large and the time allowed short.
They cannot get every name if they
arc forced to make several trips to
the same houses.

make their work easy and at the same
time make sure that no names are

SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL

From the Memphis Commercially
peal.
O IR OLIVER LODGE, the eminent
~ British scientist is interested
~ in the development of a new
source of energy other than the burn
coal. He told an audience at the Royal
Society of Arts in Birmingham the
other day that we are on the verge of
a great discovery that will revolution
ize our whole system of securing pow
er. The time was not far off, he said,
when atomic energy would take the
place of coal or other fuel as the source
of power. He startled his. hearers
somewhat with his prediction:
at may take century, but 1 do not
suppose our descendants will be using
chemical energy. Instead of burning
1000 tons of coal they will take en-
ergy out of an ounce or two of mat
ter"
His confident assurances may put a
strain on the imagination and even on
the credulity, but are we to gainsay
them? Sir Oliver explains that a ra-
dunn atom fires off particle which,
developing into a positive charged
atom of helium, is like a two-ton gun
firing a 100pound shot Before it
has exhausted its ammunition" he
says, Sit fires off give such projectiles
and then settles down into a quieter
existence as lead or something chem

war. Sea power viii win any great
war of the future. Armies with
their vast human numbers have
more advertisement, but it is the
great machines of che seas that
determine the issue. often without
firing gun. A navy almost good
enough is like a string almost long
enough. Better have no navy than
navy that cannot be counted on
TO win. Having no navy may save
money and lives it is only the
navy strong enough to win that
saves nations. Anything in be
tween is total waste. Keep the
navy. its achievements and it's fu-
ture, close to your heart; it may
beat no bass drum, but it is the
one agency that best guarantees
that the hand of violence will never
be<on your childrenTs throats
This is good advice and timely ad
vice. Great Britain regards its pow
erful navy as the bulwark of the ma
ton, and for good reason. Without
that mighty fleet, England woulc
have been subjugated long ago. Incl
dentally, France, the rest of Europe
and America might have met a SINH
lar fate in recent times, when the
Hohenzollerns were reaching out fol
world dominion.
The war that ended with Germany's
defeat, taught Americans a new re.
spect for their navy. They will demand
and their wishes will be carried Out
by Congress, that our navy, on which
the existence of the nation. may III.
timately depend, be kept at a high
state of efficiency, certainly second
only to that of Great Britain, unless
there is some practical plan adopted
and lived up to, for reducing arma-
ments.
