What 10 Wireless?

Wireless is mans control of electro
magnetic waves in the ether But what
are electromagnetic waves? Briefly.
they are disturbances travelling
through ether or space, writes French
Strother in the Worlds Work. When
you see sunlight. you see electro-mag-
netic waves, at such a number OF VI
bratiOns per second that they are per
ceptible to your senses through your
sense Of feeling or touch. But both
light and heat are exactly the same
thing, namely, electromagnetic waves.
The only difference between them ID
that the lengths Of the waves are diff
ferent. The wave-length of light is al
most incOncelvably short-about ono
ffty-thousandth Of an inch. The wave
length of heat Is longer-about one
ten-thousandth of an inch. Now, wire
less is exactly the same thing as light
and heat, except that Its wave-length
Is immensely longer-anywhere from
200 feet to 20 miles.

Avoid Letters.

The editors Of recent volume OF
literary selections for the use Of col
lege students calmly omit Lamb and
Hazlitt and proceed to justify the
omission by the remarkable assertion
that to encourage pupil ''in pleasant
rambles with Ella or Hazlltt through
the by-ways of literature Is to put
weapon into the hands Of those critics
who condemn the English teacher as
pedant Of dilettante and TO
hasten the exodus of college men from
the liberal arts course" The thing to
do say these opponents Of liberal cul-
ture, Is to study authors who present
"a logically connected program OF

TESTS VlGOR OF BANK ROLLS
Majority Wither Quickly, but Some
Grow Robust When Exposed to
New Works. Climate.

New York has long been known IN
the provinces as the nesting place OF
hank rolls. In this nest either they
grow or they die young. bank roll
is a sensitive plant, as 1t were, being
Influenced quickly and permanently
by climatic and diplomatic changes.
Nothing can become discouraged more
quickly than bank roll In New York,
and nothing can gein satisfied and
prosperous maturity more quickly IL
II gets the right start, attends to Its
own business and keeps away from
strangers.
Generally speaking, I would recon-
mend this town as the best health re-
sort for bank rolls In the world. Some
hank rolls come here In the full view
of perfect health, with perfectly nor
NAL chest measurements and waist
lines suited to their age, and immedi-
ately go into a decline WHICH no
science is able to stem. They seem to
be victims Of the old-fashioned disease
known as galloping consumption.
Others come here In a very frail
state Of health, puny In fact, and by
iudicious exercise take on weight and
require larger and larger belts. CIR
cumstances alter bank rOlls.-ROy 4

small glass tube having walls half q
millimeter in thickness and contain

bromide is reported by French physi-
cist. The tube had been In use for IL
months. At the time Of the explosion
1t had just been removed from bath
of LIQUID air. A loud report accompa-
MED the explosion, which occurred In
a dark room and the glass was scat
tered all through the room In almost
microscopic particles, and the scat
tered radium shone In the darkness
like a starry sky. 1t was calculated
that the pressure In the tube must
have been equal to at least 20 atmos-
pheres, and 1t Is supposed to have
been due to the evolution OF gaseous

Nearly all the world over the hare

conclusion on the subject. 1t Is evil

When "FIappersr Used Snuff.

The fapper Of 200 years ago had
one besetting weakness that Is not
shared by her modern sister. The
use Of snuff was one Of the petty vices
of the young lady Of fashion In the
Eighteenth century. The practice
elected a roar of protest from gen.
tleman who wrote a letter on the sub
tect In I'LL. He tells Of the conduct
of a young gentlewoman In church,
and declares "she pulls out her box
in the middle Of the sermon and, to
show that she has the audacity OF
well-bred woman, she offered 1t to the
men as we'll as to the women who sit
next her. Last Sunday, when they
came about for the offering, she gave
her charity with a very good air, but
Mt the same time asked the church
warden IL he would take pinch"
