 The ether about us is in a constant state of vibration of inconceivalble in tensity, but the wave lengths of the vibrations are such that they pass through the space we occupy as freely as though it were vacuous, and, consequently, we are uncon- scious of their presence.
 Yet all the intense agitationS of the ether do not interfere in the least with the transmission of our radio

Maxim Park, N. J., July 21-The most marvellous and mysterious thing in macroSom is the universal ether. From the ether all the worlds have been quarried, and from the ether all life has sprung.
 The communicating of the ether in the radio service is a thing so wonderful and masterful as to make the ghosts gaze.

 Radio Makes Sound Fleet
 Radio telephony. with it's speed ot 1s6oO miles a second-that of light gives fleet feet to slow-paced sound If. in telephoning by wire the voice should travel at merely the speed of sound-1. JOSS feet per second it would take more than four hour for the first word to reach the ear of the listener; whereas, by radio, the voice is transmitted at the speed of light, so that there is nc appreciaible lapse of time in the transmission of the voice to any dis. tance on the earths surface.
 If, however, it were possible to es- tablish wireles communication witt the nearest fixed star, Alpha Centau ri, it would take four years, even by radio speech, to cross the gap. Witt merely the speed of sound it would take 100000 years for speech tc reach the Centaur.

BELFAST
Believe Mrs. Davis was Shot in
Her Sleep-Husband Insane
~ Jealous for Some Time

There is no doubt but Annie, wife
OF Frank Davis, was shot while she
was sleeping and that her husband
and murderer then turned the gun
on himself. No one heard the two
shots, however, although there was
d family in the next building.
Mrs. Davis was formerly Miss An
ME Kenney a native of Frankfort.
Davis lost leg some years ago in
a railroad accident. He was a shoe
cObbler by trade, working part of
the time in the local factory and at
times has had business OF his own.
He was considered a good hard
working man. The officials say that
they were aware that for some time
he had been very jealous of his wife
and had made no secret of it, that
he was constantly watching her. No
one heard the shots and the first in
timation of the affair was learned
when the boy entered the house.
Besides the boy, there is IA
year old daughter, Marian. who at
tends the Sth grade. The son left
school last year to go to work. Mrs.
Davis also had daughter by for
mer marriage. Davis was about As
and his wife a little younger.
The Devises made their home over
the Durant Motor Company station,
formerly the Federal bakery. They
were considered good citizens, sent
their children to the public schools
and both worked to do so.
1t has been a long time since any
thing so tragic has happened to dis
turb the peace of Belfast and it re-
calls the Danforth murder and sui

Emery DanfOrth beat his wife to
death, clubbing her brains out and

before his body was found and a
State-wid search was made for him.
believing that he had fed after his
rash deed.
1t is said that those who have
known the Davises have been ap-
prehensive for some time. that Mr..
Davis was letting their domestic
troubles prey upon his mind, until
he had become almost insane. and
they have feared that something
might happen.
According to the sen and daughter,
everything was as usual when they
left the house last night to go to the
dance. Davis and his wife had both
gone to bed, and the latter had evil )
