rom the toronto GlODe.
A remarkable imaginative predic-
ton of wireless telephony was made
by Grant Balfour g. NJ. Grant, of To
ronto, in a Prologue which appeared
in an English magazine in 1889. and
was afterward reproduced in a pam
phlet entitled "Bahrak Kohl" two He
brew words meaning the voice of
lightning. The characters of this lit
tie treatise were represented as in
the neighborhood of the Jordan.
The prophet now took from his Cir
die says the narrative, "a small in
strument resembling trumphet for
the deaf. Coming down to Mohammed
he asked him to turn his right side
toward the south an to put the broad
end of the instrument to his right ear.
The prophet then inquired where his
home was
My home replied the prophet, is
in the extreme south of Arabia, four
teen hundred miles away
Listen now said the prophet:
dost thou hear the sound of waves? 2
1 do replied the sheik Where
may they be?'
!" These waves answered the pro-
phet, are the waves of the Indian
ocean breaking upon the Arabian
shore"
Further describing the instrument,
the prophet said: THE thing before
thee is but rude pattern in part of
the coming needed device of man. No
such device is required by a prophet
of the Lord to entrust the lightning
with message: The prophet speaks,
nay, he needs but to will, and it is
done"

AID $4,000 DISABLED
PERSONS BY FEDERAL
INDUSTRIAL SERVICE
rRv Associated Press,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 16.-During
the present fiscal year almost $4,000
disabled persons will have been as
sisted in "a states which are cooper
ating with the federal government in
Industrial rehabilitation, according to
an address here today by Harry L.
Fidler, vice chairman of the federal
board for vocational rehabilitation of
persons disabled in industry or other
wise. The estimate, Mr.. Fiddler said,
was based on from four to five
months of service to each case He
predicted that about 10000 cases
would be assisted in 1924.
Remarking that the subject of the
conference had been the background
of his life. Mr. Fiddler said, at is only
a few years ago that | stepped down
from a locomotive cab over here.
Among the wage workers | had spent
all the formative years of my life
And if there was any one impression
that | took away from my working
experience, it was the tremendous
need among workers of Just such an
agency as we are here today to pro-
mote-it was the need of vocational
rehabilitation.
THE most piteous memories which
| carry of my old railroad co-workers
are the memories of the broken, Grip
pied victims of Industrial accidents,
so numerous in our ranks. And the
greatest responsibility which | feel
as a member of the federal board for
vocational education is the responsi-
bility to use all my powers to perfect
this great rehabilitation agency to
the point where no injured worker in
America need suffer in the future for
the want of unemployment.
Truly remarkable has been the
progress of vocational rehabilitation
during the last "a months. Two years
ago it was only a project. Before
June ?, 1920 only three or four states
were engaged in any public program
of restoring disabled workers to re-
munerative employment"
