HONOR SHOULD Be AMERICAS
Washington Man Really Was the FIRST
to Demonstrate Possibilities of
Wireless Telegraphy.

dentist living in Washington, D.
c., invented, patented and demon
strated wireless telegraphy before
Marconi was born. Had 1t 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-
ply to the world. The name of this
comparatively unknown inventive gen.
ius is Mahlon LOOMS. Back in the
sixties and seventies he eked out a
modest living by plugging moIars and
making store" teeth for the politi-
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 telegraphing appa-
ratus. The operators of each party
were provided with telescopes, with
which they could sight from one sta
ton to the other and read the signals.
When all was in readiness a message
was sent by the doctor along the wire
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 a wire In the ordinary
way. In this manner communications
were kept up until the fact was thor
oughy demonstrated that telegraphing
could be done as readily without as
with connecting wires.

Cadets, Great Ride.

Two hundred and fifty senior cadets
of Victoria. b. c.. have recently COM
pleted a l.400-mile ride on bicycles,
bearing dispatches from the state COM
mandant to the minister for defense.
The small riders averaged more than
ii miles an hour. and they completed
their task 6 hours and % minutes
ahead Of schedule. This fine perform
ance reused public interest in the new
system of cadet training, which has
taken the place of the mOnOtonOus
drill-yard evOlutiUns. Australia is
training its youngest soldiers in
cmaraderie, self-sacrifice, alertness
and a love of athletics. The story of
the l,400-mile ride against unex-
pecied obstacles has set standard
which will not be easily forgotten by
the Australian boy While the dis
patch ride has done much TO direct
attention to a happier system of train
ing. II has also served 10 awaken the
interest of fathers and elder brothers.

DOG RELAYS CALL OF PHONE
Make Mistake in Notifying
His Mistress.

Not far from Boston lives a dog by
the name of TimbuctOo a dog which
has never been trained but which of
its own accord acquired a trick"
which besides being clever is decidedly
helpful. His home is on a farm, which
is served by seven-party telephone
line. The call at Timbuctoo's house
is five bells, or as the toll operator
would say, Ring FIVE" Wherever his
mistress is when the telephone rings
five times Timbuctoo will go to her
and give five short, sharp banks. He
has never been known to make a mis-
take either by barking more or less
than five banks, or by calling his mis-
tress when the bell rings some other
call.
In order to "show off Timbuctoo,"
his mistress asks a neighbor to call
her IN few minutes, then she goes
somewhere out of range of the tele-
phone. and TimbucteO never fails to
give proof of his trustworthy sum-
moning.
