Inventions of Doctor Armstrong of
Columbia University find Lee de
Forest Make Experiment at
Morrlstown, N. J., Success.
New York. What was declared to
be tho world's first wireless danco wa8
held recently at Morrlstowu. N. J., at
tho home of Theodore E. Gaty. Ills
two sons John P. and Theodore E.
Gaty, Jr., tho latter home from Cornell
for tho holidays got up a dunce and
throughout the evening the seven or
eight couples who had been Invited
danced to music that was played on a
phonograph In Illghbrldgc, at the
northern end of Munhattnn, about 40
miles away from Morrlstown by air
line.
Mr. Gaty and his sons are enthusias
tic amateurs In the science of radio
telephony and telegraph. A friend, P.
F. Godley of Montcjnlr, who Is a rudlo
engineer, made use of the Lee du For
est nudlon detector and the sound
ampllller Invented by Dr. Edwin II.
Armstrong of Columbia, tho Inven
tions which mudo transcontinental tel
ephony, possible, us well as a wire
less telephone mcssago to Honolulu.
Mr. Godley, who Is only twenty-seven
yenrs old, adapted the two devices to
nmntcur use and attached them to a
phonograph horn In tho Gaty home.
Taken by Amateur Receiver.
Tho phonograph that furnished the
danco music was played In the High'
brldgo plunt of tho Do Forrest Radio
Telephone and Telegraph company
aud tho musical sound waves wero re
ceived by tho amateur receiver over
Mr. Gaty's house.
When tho faint souuds, which, com
Ing from tho receiver, could scarcely
bo detected by the ear, passed through
tho combined sound ampllllcrs aud
then through tho megnphono they
could bo heard nil over the house.
To show how clearly tho sound was
transmitted, M,r, Gaty telephoned to
tho Do Forest company's ofllco at High
bridge and the onerator of the phono
graph listened to tho ground wlro tele
phone. Tho music when It got back to
him by this route, ho said, was even
louder than the original sounds from
tho phonograph. A Now York Times
reporter called up Mr. Gaty's house
and tho megaphone was placed near
the receiver at that end. Thu music,
transmitted about 10 miles through air
and then nearly thu same distance by
ground wires, could be heard distinct
ly. Tho phonograph was telling how
alio could "yackl hackl wlckl wncUl
woo" in Honolulu.
Mr. Gaty was enthusiastic. Ho suld
that tho operator in the Do Forest
' building announced tho number of
each record, Its name, and so forth
when he was about to put It on tho
phonograph, and that tho spoken an
nouncement could ho heard In every
corner of thu Gaty house. Mr. Godley,
at his homo In Montclalr, hud not
taken the trouble to ask If the experi
ment was successful. He took It as a
matter of fact that it should be.
All Very Simple.
' "It's very simple," Mr. Godley said

to the "reporter. "Doctor Armstrong of
Coluinhlu has been doing research
work along these lines for many years,
and he has at last turned out a device
that will multiply sound GOO to 1,000
times. The De Forest uinplllicr multi
plied sounds 12 to 18 times. The prin
ciple Is somewhat tho snmo, the dif
ference being that the Armstrong In
strument has a complex repeating ac
tion, while the De Forest Instrument
has single repeating action.
"Together, tho Instruments mnke it
simple to telephone by wireless, and
there's no reason why New Yorkers
should not be telephoning to Chicago
regularly except that the Instruments
have not yet been put to, commercial
use. That Is because of tho many
legal lights that nro taking place over
tho fundamental radio patents, and be
cause of tho field being practically tied
up at the present time by the Marconi
compnny. Hut there's nothing to pre
vent nmnteurs from using these In
struments.
"It would be Just us easy to trans

the Metropolitan. With the ampli
fiers now being used the music could
be transmitted about 200 miles."
Mr. Godley said that the amplifier
perfected by Doctor Armstrong re
sembled the headlight of an automo
bile. Instead of the light filament,
there are two electrodes. There Is
a vacuum In tho bulb, and In an In

New York. A bulletin Issued by the
New York chamber of commerce
shows that during the llrst eleven
months of tho calendar year there
wero constructed In the shipyards of
this country 1.000 vessels, with n
gross tonnage of 488,410 tons.
This means that for every working
day In tho year more than three ves

ed to tho licet that sails under the
Stars nnd Stripes. Tho compilation
does not Include 80 wooden vessels
and 13 steel vessels built for foreign

Of the 488,410 tons built for do
mestic demand, wooden construction
Included only 127,270 tons, or 20.05
per cent, while steel construction com
prised 1101,170 tons or 73.01 per cent.
Nearly two-thirds of tho steel con

As the law requires that all ships
sailing under the American ling have
American olllcers, the problem now
arises as to where these arc to bo
obtained for the new constructions.
The state nautical scholarships fur
nish tho chief supply, but there were
only 41 to be graduated from the New
York state schoolshlp this year, a num
ber barely sufficient for the needs of
ten of thu new vessels.
The monthly bulletin of the cham
ber of commerce calls attention to the
needs of domestic commerce. In tills
connection It says:
Domestic Trade a Feature.
"For the time being it looks as if
the more Important subject of domes
tic trndc had been allowed to take Its
own course. Fewer statistics are pub
lished now of domestic trade move
ments than fprmcrly. The govern
ment might direct Its attention to the
solution of some of our domestic prob
lems which are woefully behind tho
progress for Inatnnce of manufactur
ing. "These are not altogether taken In
hand by the Interstate commerce com
mission, which deals almost wholly
with railway rates," says the report.
"It Is suggested In some quarters thnt
the olllco of markets In the department
of agriculture and tho bureau of for
eign domestic commerce In the depart
ment of commerce might do well to
co-operate and In tackling some of the I
more vital questions involved in thu !
loss of great crops for want of distri
bution facilities and tho arrest of sup
ply In fopdstuffs.
"This latter condition has become
so acute that the department of jus
tice was finally obliged to take up tho
subject and Investigate It as the result
of popular demand. Here is n field In
which three departments of the gov
ernment have each a baud and none7 of
them as yet has worked out anything
that Is sufficiently satisfactory to call
it a solution. Our Internal commerce
Is worth mnny times our foreign trade
In any given year."
dorf-Astorla Hotel company at a recent
meeting of tho company, Mrs. Miles
has established an olllco on the thir
