HAD NEW TELEGRAPHlC IDEA
German System Of Communication in
Warfare Was Something of an
Innovation Then.

During the war the scientific world
was much interested by the report that
the German army was using a method
Of communication known as "teleg.
raphy through the ground" Subse.
qunnt investigation by the interested
nations appeared to show that the
method was a compromise between
wireless and one-wire biography.
The two communication stations
were not connected by wire. A wire
was placed along the fighting front
with both ends extending into the
ground, AND current from Rhum'
korff coil or kindred apparatus was
conveyed along it. Installed parallel
to this wire, and some distance in ad.
vance Of ii was a similar wire, in
which current was induced by the
first. thus permitting the sending of
signals.
Thc method is thus broadly similar
to wireless, except that the ground
forms the medium, instead of the
air. One would imagine, however, that,
although the method has the advantage
thar there are no intervening wires to
be cut it would he a very simple sys-

New York's Sanitary Districts.

New York has four square miles of

STORED UP FOR HISTORIAN
of Congressional Record, Not Of
Common knowledge.

The Congressional Record is the butt
of the humorist of today and the store
house of political knowledge for the
historian of tomorrow. 1t is the tar
get at which the satirist shoots his ar
rows of wit, but it contains a compen-
dium of information which stands as
a permanent contribution to political
science through the ages, when those
who have cast their jibes and sneers
have been forgotten. A mariner cast
away on a desert island with nothing
to read but the debates of congress
could come away in few years as
crammed with facts as a college stu
dent on the eve of an examination. He
would know something about nearly
every subject under the sun, including
romantic literature and poetry. He
would have substantial grasp upon
the development of government, eco
Monies and political philosophy, says
the Washington Post.
Every man who has ever spoken on
the floor of the senate or house has
added something to the sum total of
what the Record contains. Even the
errors propagated in debate are use
full; they help one to ascertain the ul-
innate truth. Thomas b. Reed once
said that every member of the house
was an expert on some one thing; that
1t would be discovered that there was
substantial reason explaining why
every man was there. A great deal
Of matter gets into the Record every
day which at the time may seem If
relevant. With the passing of the
years Importance is emphasized. In
2022 the Congressional Record of to-
day will be an invaluable repository of
facts bearing upon all phases of life
as it is now lived.
