port OF Major General George Squer chief signal oncer
OF The army. Wireless messages now may be trans
mitied and received practically between any two points
on the surface Of the earth in tenth Of a second"
This is amazing progress since the first workable wire
less apparatus invented p years ago by the Italian
genius Marconi That in 1895 Six years later Mar
conf sent the FIRST wireless signal across the Atlantic
rom Cornwall to Newfoundland on that historic occa-
sion he could transmit nothing except repeuons OF the
setter S But in another years he sent complete mes
sages by night
The wireless is easily the eighth wonder OF the world
as device OF communication alone Yet scientists look
for revolutionary innovations in the wireless Of the
future.
For instance in 1871 Marconi in London lighted cleo
trio lamps with current six miles by wireless That
may have been the birth OF lighting cities and operating
machinery By current sent by wireless from distant
sources OF waler-powcr
The Prince OF Monaco has piano on his yacht played
by wireless by master musician ashore
Al the Indiana state Fair. automobile engine was
started every five by wireless waves sent from
station in Indianapolis, Ave miles away.
Recently The i3OOOon baieshp Ohio was stripped Of
its crew and operated steered and entirely
by wireless from another ship
These remarkable performances suggest some on the
practical TO which wireless will be put in the future
Many Of the innovations will be American for our wire

Birthday Party

MT. and Mrs. L. M. Osborne very delightfully."- entertained in honor of Miss Billie's sixth birthday last Sat urday evening on the beautiful lawn. The children numbered about seventy guests. After playing many games and as it. was growing dark, all were promised should they ab- sent themselves that the grounds would be transformed into a fairy land with a real god-mother attend ant. So, all willing, made a march of about block. Upon their return the trees and grounds were brilliant with quaint magic lanterns and sure enough there stood the fairy, wings and all, to greet them. To add to their joy, favors, which were noise makers were distributed and so ju- bilant were they over their posses sion that they could scarcely lay them aside to partake of the de- licious cream and cake.
 The artistic taste of Mir. More land, manager of the light plant en- hanced the beauty of the entertain ment by the arrangement of the lights.
