Wireless Waves,

Wireless waves travel with velocl'
ty Of 300 million meters per second.
They have the properties Of the more
familiar and shorter kinds Of waves,
such as light, heat and X:rays. Radio
waves from a transmitting station
spread out symmetrically from the
station with uniform intensity, very
much as waves spread out on a quiet
pond when a pebble is dropped In. In
a given direction from the transmitting
station, at a given instant the dis
lance between successive wave crests
Is the wave length.

Rare Occasion.

Very few people could say off-hand
the occasion when a king Of England
gave away" his daughter In marriage,
writes an English correspondent. As
q fact, authorities are quite hazy about
It. But this Is certain, that the last
reigning king Of England to have a
daughter married goes beyond recollec'
ton; for 1t was neither Edward VII,
Of course, nor George w., both being,
In turn, prince Of Wales when their
respective daughters were married.
The last instance, then, was that or
George ILL.,, who came to the throne
178O and died 1920. His eldest daugh-
ter was married in 1907, the third In
1878, the fourth In 1915. The case,
however, Of any only daughter goes
back to Henry l., In the Eleventh cen
fury. His only daughter Matilda mar
RED Henry V, emperor Of the West,
when her father had been four years
king Of England.
