HONOR SHOULD BIZ AMERICAS
Washington Man Really Was the Frst
! to Demonstrate Possibilities OF
Wireless Telearaphy.

4 dentist living in Washington, D.
@, invented, patented and demon
strated wireless teiegraphy before
Marconi was born. Had it not been
for the attitude of big newspapers and
the stubbornness and lack of vision OF
congress, this country today would be
ENJOYING the honor, distinction and
credit of presenting wireless telegra-
pby to the world. The name of this
comparatively unknown inventive gen.
ius is Mahlon Loomis. Back in the
sixties and seventies he eked out
modest living by plugging moiars and
making "store" teeth for the politi-
clans and social leaders Of Washing
ton. Doctor Loomis called his discov-
cry "aerial telegraphy." His first pub
lie demonstration was made in 1866
from the two peaks of the Blue Ridge
mountains in Virginia, some Is miles
apart. From each peak an ordinary
Kite was elevated, connected with an
insulated copper wire attached at the
lower end to a te'egraphing appa-
ratus. The operators of each party
were provided with telescopes. with
which they could sight from one sta
tion to the otter and read the signals.
When all was in readiness message
was sent By the doctor. along tile wi-s
OF his kite, and was received at the
station on the other mountain top just
as though the two kites had been con-
nected with q wire in the ordinary
way. In this manner communications
were kept up until the fact was thor
oughly demonstrated that telegraphing
could be done as readily without as
with connecting wires.

CITY WAITS TO BE CLOTHED
Jerusalem Far From Being Restores
to the Glory That Has Seen
Promised Her.

The view Of Jerusalem as one leaves
the Garden Of Gethsemane draws the
heart with sympathy. The walls rise
severely above bare slopes where
nothing grows, for it is outside of the
city proper that Biblical prophecies Of
the desolation Of Jerusalem seem to
be fulfilled.
Today the city stands midway be-
tween the horrors of the Turkish
regime and the promised good of the
British mandatory rule. Nothing has
been done as yet in a public way to
beautify the city. North and west the
houses straggle outside the walls; on
the south forbidding slopes border the
road to Bethlehem, and on the east
lies the terrible Valley of Jehosha-
phat-a valley of dry bones, William
D. McCracken writes in Asia Maga-
zine.
Seventeen times destroyed-bitterly
hated, anxiously sought-how desper-
ate a history since Nebuchadnezzar
captured it more than % centuries
ago!
Redeemed today, but in her naked
ness, Jerusalem waits to be clothed.
She has as yet no grace; no covering
for her ugly wounds. Some day her
sides will glisten with the brightness
of heavenly radiance; she will be
washed anG aleinted like a bride
waiting for the bridegroom
