PROGRESS OF RADIO
THROUGH THE YEARS
Wireless Research Began Long
Ago, But Development Has
Been Swift Lately.

Wireless research started many
years ago, as far back even as 1927.
Even the radio telephone is not a re-
cent perfection; rather it is that intro
duction to the laynan of the human
voice and music has suddenly popular
lied something that wireless men had
thought pastime or amusement. Here
is the chronological record of wire

1S27-1t was found that the mag
netic discharge from a leyden jar
would magnetic steel needle.
1881 - electromagnetic induction
was discovered between two entirely
feparate circuits by Michael Faraday.
1S37-COoke and Wheatstone of
London, England, and Morse Of the
United States take out first patent for
electric telegraph.
1S3S-K. A. Steinhell of Munich
suggested that system Of wireless
telegraphy could be established after
his discovery of the use Of the earth
return.
1S40-Joseph Henry CO. S. Az pro-
duced the first high-frequency cleo
trio oscillations, and stated that the
condenser discharge is oscillatory.
1872 Wireless experiments were
made by S. f. B. Morse by electric
conductiOn through water across
Washington canal and across wide
rivers.
1S43-A wireless system for trans
atlantic communication was suggested.
1S45-Water was used as a conduct
ing medium in wireless experiments
across a wide river.
1S49-Intelligible signals were act
ually sent across river $500 feet

prohibitive for commercial use.

BIBLE ASCRIBED TO SATAN
Monk to Perform Work, for
Fearful Price.

One Of the most famous copies of
the Scriptures in existence is the one
which bears the curious title, 1.-THE
Devils Bible" It is an exquisite piece
Of workmanship, inscribed on 300
asses skins, and was taken to Stock
holm at the conclusion Of the Thirty
Years war.
According to tradition this Bible
was the work of poor monk who
was condemned to death for some
detection, but was told that the SEN
tence would be committed if he would
copy out on asses skins the entire
Bible in a single night. He agreed
to try to do it but, finding the task
too great, made compact with the
devil to exchange his soul for the
required transcript. The devil kept
his part Of the bargain, and the work
was finished on time. The monk
life was spared by his marveling
judges, but tradition Is silent as to
how he kept his end Of the agreement.

KIM George Democratic.

"When he is out of the public eye
King George often sacrifices appear
ance for comfort-indeed, while in
conversation with him not long ago
noticed that one Of the shoes he
wore was adorned with patch !" This
is one Of many intimate anecdotes Of
his long connection with the royal
family told by Ernest Brooks, o. B. E.,
the accredited royal photographer,
in the Strand magazine. Queen Mary's
favorite portrait Of Princess Mary re-
veals something Of the kings tastes
in regard to feminine fashions. When
Mr.. Brooks showed the king the first
print, his majesty raised an objection
to the width of the panniers on either
side of the princess frock and or
dered him to have them taken out of
the negative.

And the Discussion Ended.

Two little boys, living in different
towns, one day were visiting an aunt
in a distant city. A discussion arosa
between them as to the merits of their
home towns. The heights of their re-

the discussions.
