Wireless telephone communica
between the Atlantic seaboard of
the L'uiteU States and Hawaii hav
ing been carried ou o\er 4600 miles
oi etber-euiveloped laud and sea,
the ambition of *ue telephone aad
telegraph company is now set on
making the next leap Asiaward and
thus bring W'ushiugtou and Tokio
within speaking distance. Aleau
time it is announced that the tying
cf Washington and Honolulu togeth
er means iuferentiajly that New
Vork will be similarly related to
Paris, Vienna or Tetrograd uheu
customary conditions return to Eu
rope. Or, to put it in more idealis
tic terms used by the telephone
company's, officials, the world aas
been brought a long way ou its
road to a mutual understanding,
since the symbolic sig-t of a lan
guage translated from a telegraph
or cable code cannot equal the spok
en w ard and the distinctions and
shadings oi thought which consola
tion fosters aud converts into ac
tion.
Sever."I details of the transmis
sion and registration of this nKw
eage are of inoro than usual in
terest. The experiment was in
the charge cf an expert, risen from
the ranks and not educated in any
school or institute or technology.
The achievement was made possible
.is the result of ljng-sctained co
operation between tho navy depart
tutu* and the telephone company,
secretary ef the Navy Joseph us
Dauiels and President Theodore N
Vail not finding it uevessary to de
bate long the profit of the compact
to each co-partner. Last, but
not least, the experiment proved
that telephoning by wire and by
wJrel«ts could bo made a continu
ous process, automatically; effected
by methods of receiving aud traus
mittiug that are now available. The
practical significance of this tri
umph in invention .vill be under
stood, since it enlarges the area in
which the new method may be used
on a commercial "basis. The pres
ent vast network of "plant,"' de
pendent upon wire for a medium,
■will retain its worth, since it will
be possible to utilize the older
method as a feeder for the new.
To the relatively few great re
ceiving and sending stations neces
sary for handling such business as
offers, the great constituency using
tho wire system of transmission
will turn, expecting the new method
to supplement the old chiefly in
executing what in railway parlance
would be called "long hauls." On
ly in this case they will be "long
Jumps."
Again, as with wireless tele
graphy so with wirelsss telephony,
ther-i is an inconstant factor to be
reckoned with in the atmospheric
conditions which electriciaus have
their own nameB for, but which ,
the layman can best understand If
be is told that sometimes the ether
waves wcrk and sometimes they do
not; and to account for and to
overcome what are called static con
ditions is a task that is still en
gaging eugineeers and physicists.
Meantime wire and cable, whether
In underground conduits or at the
bottom of the sea, continue to
earn dividends for corporations that
change iu this status, at least im
mediately.—C. S. Monitor.
THE THAMI'
Ilis hair is long, hi* breath is
strong, his hat is old and battered;
his knees are sprung, his nerves
unstrung, his clothes are badly tat
tered; his shoes are worn, his
•hides- been torn by bow-wows fierce
aad suarling; anil yet, by heck:
this tough old wreck was onco somo
daddy's darling!
He still must hit thtj ties and grit.
A dismal fate is his'n; for if he
stops the village cops will slam
him into prison. Some hayseed
judge would make him trudge out
where the rock pile's lying, to la
bor there, in his despair, till next
year's snows are flying. The women
shy when he goee by; with
righteous wrath they con him. Men
give him kicks and hand him bricks
and train their shotguns on him.
Ilis les are sprained, his fetlocks
trained, from climbing highways
hilly; it's hard to think this set'dy
giuk was someone's little Willie!
And yet 'tis so. Once, long ago.
