Filtering Wireless Waves.

The device familiar to telegraph
and telephone engineers which made
it possible to send two or more mes
sages over a single wire at one time
produced a saving to the extent that
a single wire was made to carry the
burdens of several wires. The prob.
lem Of providing a wireless receiver
which will catch two messages at the
same time, one created by the human
voice, the other the tuneful song of
the Morse code, is now reported to
have been solved by filter invented
by DR.. G.. A. CAMPBELL. a telephone
engineer, and exhibited In this city
a few days ago by DR.. FRANK B.
JEwETr, head of the Bell system re-
search laboratory.
The electrical waves created by the
sending apparatus may be roughly
compared to ocean waves; and if one
should visualize the section made by
cutting series Of spherical electrical
waves through the center it would
resemble the circular waves created
when a stone is thrown into still
water. But the great waves carry
each smaller waves riding on them;
and on the surface of these are still
smaller waves and ripples.
The waves sent out from the radio
stations are comparable in motion
and in complexity to water waves.
They may be very long or very short:
that is, the distance from crest to
crest Of the waves may vary from a
few meters-practically yards-to
several thousand meters; they may
vibrate slowly or very rapidly in COM
parison. Their rate of vibration. or
cscillation, is measured in terms of
frequency. The receiver must be tuned
to the frequency of the waves.
But when lot Of waves differing
in length and frequency roll into the
receiving apparatus it is difficult to
pick out and separate the various
series. This is accomplished by the
filter invented by DR.. CAMPBELL,
which separates not one frequency
but several of them, just as a chord OF
several notes struck on one piano is
repeated by the strings of another.
1t is not out Of the ordinary to
catch two radio messages in the same
receiver at the same time; each mes
sage is tuned to a frequency which
may be represented by a single piano
tone. But the frequency filter ex-
hibited by DR.. JEwErT segregates not
single tones but the complex chords
Of tones which are created by the
human voice. In other words, It may
be compared to a device which sep
arates the voice Of singer from the
tones OF a piano accompaniment,
sending each in different direction,
each inaudible where the other is
heard.

Shad and Wild Flowers.

The shad season is on. Down
Charleston way it begins in mid
January. BY mid-February 1t has
reached Norfolk. About the first OF
March shad are in the Delaware
River. A few weeks later they ap-
pear in the Hudson, and. when the
New England apple orchards are in
bloom, the season in Massachusetts,
and Maine is in full swing. Shad
are the first harbingers of spring.
just as the trailing arbu.us is the
first floral signal that spring is really
here.
But, what with oil pollution of our
coast and river waters and the raw
ages OF arbutus hunters, the promise
this year for the finest of our early:
season fish and for the most beauti-
full and fragrant of our early season.
wild flowers is gloomy one. The
Delaware shad fishermen are utter
ing dark forebodings and angry pro-
test. Near Chester, Pennsylvania, a
few days ago a tanker spread a
thousand barrels of oil over the
waters from leaky pipes. With this
as text the shad fishermen on the
Delaware are emphasizing their
complaints about square miles of oil
being spread on the waters by oil
burning steamers. Already fish in.
great numbers have been killed by it.
Unless something is done to abate
the nuisance before the shad begin to
spawn it is feared the catch this
spring will be under the poor record
OF last year, when only 10000 fish
were taken. In spite of all the talk
and all the protests and all the dis
cussion in Congress the fishermen
report that pollution by Oil is con-
stantly growing worse.
AS to the trailing arbutus, the
beautiful Epig@a repens, upon
earth creeping" flower which afore-
time was abundant in the coun-
try not remote from New York by
mid-April, it is on the high road to-
extinction. 1t should be in bloom
this year by Easter, for Easter is
late-April 1e---but the supply prom
ises to be limited as never before.
For this the automobile is par
TALLY to blame. 1t carries great
numbers Of trailing arbutus seekers
to remote abodes of the dainty little
flower rarely penetrated until motor
cars opened up the trails. Only with
great care the arbutus blossom may
be plucked without injuring its pecul-
iarly sensitive vine. The motor car
arbutus ravagers rarely exercise any
care. They rip up the plant root and |
branch. A few more seasons of such
destruction as those of the past four
or five years, and within 100 miles of
New York the trailing arbutus will
be only a beautiful memory.
Not as. important is this disap-
pearance Of a sweet blossom as the
ruin OF our nearby fisheries and
bathing beaches by oil pollution, but
regrettable none the less. Ultimately
the long and flexible arm of legal
regulation will reach the oil pollu.
ton distributors. But for the trail.
Ing arbutus there seems to be protec.
tion only in the slender reed of ap-
peal to the despoilers and their own
sweet reasonableness.

SUNDAY. JANUARY %, 1922.
The Town Hall Outrage.

An investigation Of the Town Hall
outrage OF November 13, when the
little clique of police prevented citi-
zens from holding public meeting,
is to begin in Room 1918 of the
Municipal Building at 10 o'clock to.
morrow morning.
This investigation Is to be con-
Quoted by the Mayors Commissioner
of Accounts, DAVID HIRsHFIE1D.
Whether it will be genuine inquiry
into the Town Hall incident or a
fake investigation such as the police
held in an effort to smother the
scandal remains to be seen.
Commissioner HIRsHFIELD has al
ready laid himself open to a suspi-
cion that he will permit smoke
screen to be raised. In the letter
announcing the date Of his investiga-
tion he says:
81 propose to hear all those who
may wish to speak concerning the
conduct of the police on that occa-
sion or upon the subject of Discus
sios at that meeting"
The joker is in the, words we have
cut in italics.
The people of New York are not to
any great extent interested in the
subject that was slated for discussion
at the Town Hall meeting. But they
are vitality interested, all of them, in
the constitutional right of free
speech which was violated.
Any evider given at Mr..
ERsuFELD's Ivestigation relative
to ''the SUBJ, of discussion at that
meeting" will be beside the issue. No
subject was discussed at the meeting
because the meeting was broken up
before any speaker could open his
mouth.
Any effort to cloud the issue in this
case will be resented by every lover
of liberty. That issue is as plain as
day. The Constitution Of the State
of New York declares that "every citi-
zen may freely speak, write and pub
iish his sentiments ON all subjects,
being responsible for the abuse of
that right" The Town Hall meeting
was not permitted the right of free
speech.
The violation of the Constitution
was committed directly by little
clique of the police, evidently. in
spired by somebody at Police Head
quarters. Whose was the motive be-
hind this inspiration? The New
York policeman Of the rank and file
does not violate the Constitution on
his own initiative. indeed, THE
New York HERALD believes that a
great majority ~ New York's 10000
policemen will be glad to see the lit
tie group responsible for this outrage
punished. The police must be as
jealous OF their own rights OF free
speech as any other citizens. And
the police in general do not like to-
have their good reputation injured
by the acts of any clique.
Mayor HYLAN turned the investi-
cation Of the Town Hall affair over
to Commissioner HRsHrrELD. AS the
Commissioner of Accounts is the
Mayors own Official creature the sue
cess or failure of the inquiry will
be laid at Mr.. HYLAN's door.
II the Mayor should permit this
investigation to be turned into
farce. then the District Attorney
should act at once. And II he will
not act, then the matter should be
put before the Governor. For the
most precious rights OF millions Of
people are at stake.

The Joy of Color.

A cable message from our London
Bureau reports the English Colonial
Secretary, WINSTON CHURCHILL, as
enthusiastic over his recreation of
painting pictures. He is proving
anew the truth of the tenet that
mental faculties are most effectively
rested by entire and agreeable change
OF attention. Whatever the worries
OF the hour or the threats of the
future" he declares, "once a picture
has begun to flow there is no room
for them in the mental scale"
Mr.. CHURCHILL also confesses to a
prediction for bright colors, and
hopes that. in future life he may
achieve gayer palette than is avail
able here. He expects that there all
depressing and mournful shades will
be eliminated, and orange and ver-
million be the dullest hues, with a
whole gamut of new colors beyond
them, ito delight the celestial eye
Because he has trained his eyes TO
cAuib III tho huco VI ILLS earthly
sphere the artist may well hope for
richer and more splendid visions OF
color In another and ampler realm.
But let not the dull gaze OF those
who fail to discern the wealth of
even this present scene expect to ap-
preciate any further establishment
of the spectrum. RusxIN declared
that color Is the most precious Wis
ible gift OF GoD to man. How amaz-
ing and deplorable then is our fail
ure to respond to and adequately en-
joy that importation Of the eternal
beauty! We need a new petition in
the supplications OF our lltany-
That It may please Thee to open our
eyes to the Joy of color!"
II even In smoky and fog ridden
London burdened Colonial Secre-
tary has trained himself-and we
venture to say the faculty is two
parts self-education and exercise to
one part original endowment-to
discern the fathomless wonder and
delight OF color, what may not a New
Yorker or Suburban dweller achieve
in this clearer American atmosphere
OF keen definitions and radiant en-
hancements OF hues?

FER0CI0US DENIZEN OF SEA
California Spotted Moray 10 a Capture
Which No Fisherman Is Anx-
ious to Make.

The California spotted moray, O,
sea eel" as 1t lie popularity called
Is credited with being the most fe
rocious marine animal In existence
The commonly observed. specimens
are about three or four feet long. and
about the size of mans wrist.
Their mouths are provided with
needle-like teeth, and their Jaws are
SO strong that cutting Off the animals
head does not have the slightest effect
In releasing its hold. Release can
only be achieved by cutting the head
to pieces so that the jaws cannot hold
together.
Stories are told Of fishermen be-
Ing driven from their boats when a
large specimen got loose after being
hauled up. and these stories may cas-
lily be credited, considering the dispo-
sidon Of the small ones which are com.
mon to the California coast. Some OF
those found In the deeper water reach
q length of six or eight feet, and
weight OF 100 pounds. The animal
can actually tie itself In a knot, and
makes use Of its extraordinary sinu-
osity for holding objects which II is
eating, and for twisting and colling
around rocks.
