The greatest wireless station in the
world is soon to rise near New York
city. It is known as a five-way sta
ton, in other words, it will transmit
and receive long distance messages
in five directions at the same time.
The great masts which raise the an
tennae to the skies will be $50 feet
in heighth or a hundred feet higher
than the Washington monument.
Messages will be transmitted atj once
to England and Central Europe, to

to the Pacific coast and Japan. The
station will be capable of sending
500. words out and receiving 500

He Sat Down Quickly,

No finer dressed party Of men and
women ever assembled together in this
city than those who took part in the
ball given by the bachelors OF Sheri-
dan to their married friends. Many
of the costumes deserve mention, but
the Postwar is not capable Of de-
scribing them properly.
The supper and refreshments were
of the kind that all appreciated, and
were served at just the right time BY
obliging walters, who seemed to enter
into the spirit of the times and make
everyone feel satisfied. Only one de-
plorable thing transpired at the dance,
and it was nobody's fault.

RETURN AFTER MANY YEARS
TiIefish Again Caught in Vast Num-
bers, Though They Were Believed
to, Have Been Wiped Out

Tilefish are fish with short but
remarkable history, writes a CORE
spondent. Their discovery was. dra-
matte. In May, 1879, Captain Kirby
of the schooner Hutchings, out Of
Gloucester, Mass, was TRAVELLING for
cod off the Nantucket banks. No cod
was found. but large fish, unknown
to science, was present in great num-
bers. In a very short time 5000 pounds
of the new species were caught. The
fish proved to be Of high food value
and good keeping qualities. There was
a big popular demand for them, and
huge quantities were caught for three
years. Then the supply failed as sud-
denly as it had appeared. In the
spring Of 1882 the boats failed to
catch a single. tilefish. A few days
later incoming boats reported having
passed through miles Of dead or dying
tilefish. They covered an area of 5000
square miles, and. were estimated to
number 1,OOO.OOO,OOO :. :
From 1882 to 1915 no trace of tile
fish was found in any waters Of the
world, adds our CORRESPONDENT. Scien-
tific men were convinced that the fish
had been suddenly and mysteriously
exterminated. Then, early in 1915, a
government boat, In almost the identi-
cal spot off the Nantucket banks as
that in which tilefish were first taken,
again caught some Of the same species.
Again there proved to be vast num-
hers Of them, ana new: grounds, were
also discovered along the New Jersey
coast. Since then the tilefish has been
caught without interruption, but the
riddle Of its strange disappearance for
80 years has not yet been solved

New Meaning Of "intriaue."

bN0" sW0SAuSsb8 VI u"Su J3OVs
The latest verbal importation from
France that have had occasion to re-
mark Is no more than the comforting
of a new meaning upon an old word.
In English Ito intrigue" has always
meant to plot surreptitiously, whereas
in French it was always used (by ex:
tension) to indicate the state Of puz-
Eled doubt in which we may find our
selves when we have reason to suspect
a surreptitious plot; and this Sec
ondary French meaning is now pass
ing over into English, so that we may
read in the light stories that run
through our magazines, "she intrigued
me-" meaning that she puzzled me, and
not meaning/that she involved me in
an intrigue. This Gallo secondary
meaning will probably force itself into
our yielding Anglo-Saxon, and we shall
have hereafter the privilege Of en-
ploying ITO intrigue In either Of two
different intents. Il doubt if this will
be to the profit Of the language; but
protest is idle, since the fate of nov
city always depends upon its ultimate
usefulness.-Brander Matthews in
Harper's Magazine.

1t is now possible to pick up wire
less message from any of the big sta
tons within reasonable distance in
this country with the aid Of an ordin-

The umbrella will act as the aerial,
the pocketbook contains a miniature

phone must be high;resistance H.

1t has even been possible, inventors
OF the pocket receiving set say, to use
an ordinary bedstead as an aerial.
You must not expect with this sim

touch with Paris, Berlin or Moscow,
but if you want the mild excitement
Of picking up messages from home
station within reasonable distance you
must follow these directions:
Take your umbrella with you and
the pocketbook, select nice lofty po-
sition, and having earthed one corner
of the pocketbook-say to water
pipe or something equally damp and
handy, hold your umbrella out at
arms length. There should also be

convenient to use the headeear worn
