LEV|ATHAN WILL

Principal Transmitting Set Is

American radio supremacy upon
the seas will be accomplished when
the Leviathan leaves Boston tomor-
row on her trip with the most pow,
erful and versatile outfit ABOARD
any merchant steamship in the
world. BY the simple manipulation
of a wheel similar to that employed
on a motor car, the transmitter OF
the set can be operated on rour
predetermined wave lengths from
1000 to $500 meters.
The principal transmitting set is
six times as powerful as any OF It's
kind over installed on a merchant
vessel and with three additional
complete radio stations in the spaci'
GUS quarters capable of Independent
operation, the Leviathan's officers
will be able to reach out their

It is announced that this appara-
tus will be used chiefly for com
mercial and social communication

Electricity Strides Are
Noted In Changes
OF Dynamos

Today the dynamos supply
ing the city of Baltimore with
light and power have capacity
of between 100000 and 400,-
900 horsepower and weigh
many thousands of tons.
Yet the dynamo that original
~ generated the electricity
used to run the first electric
lamps in Baltimore was car
ried downstairs by hand. This
one-man feat would today be
wholly impossible, and this in
cident goes far to show what
enormous strides electricity has
made within the past forty
five years.
The next fifty years cleo
tricity will undoubtedly func-
ton in our personal and civic
life to such an extent that its
use will be as universal then
as is water today.

OLDEST IRON MINE IN
UNITED STATES CLOSED

NEW YORK, June 1S.-The oldest
iron mines in the United States
have just been closed at Sterling
ton, N. Y. They have been in con-
tinuous operation since 1850, and
ore taken from them was used
to forge the famous chain that
was stretched across the Hudson
river in the revolutionary war to
block British warships. They have
furnished iron for every war the
country has fought.
They were sold last week by the
Pierson family, which has owned
them for many years. Gangs of
men have been at work flooding
the tunnels, demolishing the rail-
road tracks and the buildings. The
reason for this is not known, nor
was the name of the buyer re-
vealed.
Old residents say that the ore
which came from the Ramapo
mountains was useful in making
a particular kind Of steel, and now
that the Sterlington mines are no
longer operating the price Of this
steel will go up.
