Today tho fancy of the novelist has become a fact of science. The air Is filled with messages that may be heard by any one who has the simple means that nre requisite. Tho man who stands ln the noisy crowd of the city and the lonely aheep herder on a fenceless Australian prairie are alike yiurrounded by them, and It 1b possible for each (to be made conscious of their presence. This is the accomplishment of wireless. The Isystem of communication without the use of wires to carry the electrical Impulses has grown so 'Intimately Into tho world's business that It takes something out of tho ordinary to bring a realiza tion of what is being tlono and what the outlook '1b. Wireless was more than ten years old when the ships Republic 'and Florida collided on January 23, 1909, nnd tho jumping spark under the com mand of the wireless operator Instantly made iknown that disaster to the world. Tho Republic, alone tn tho fog and dark, might have gone to the bottom without news of the disaster being known for days. It was two dnya after La Dour igogno sank before the story of tho catastrophe became known. But a wireless operator. Jack 'Blnns, flashed the news from the Republic to 'land and drew out of the dark half a dozen rescu ing ships. The story of Jack Blnns, the first wireless hero of international fame, spread abroad, and the po sition of the new method of communication was assured. Wireless had been put to its first great test and passed through It successfully. Another wlreleBB call flashed out tn the dark ness 8omo weeks ago and sent a thrill around the world. This was the message from the crippled, sinking Titanic, It saved the lives of more than 700 human beings. Harold S. Drlde, assistant Mar coni operator aboard the Titanic, and Harold T. Cottam, operator on the Cnrpathla the one who was Instrumental in Bending the messago and the other whoso ship brought aid have become heroes. Before the Investigating committee of the senate tho young operators have told their part In tho rescue of the passengers. Cottnm on tho Carpathla explained that he was on duty Sunday night nnd enme off a couple of Jays later. He sat at hla post all Sunday night, all day Monday and Monday night and during tho day Tuesday. He caught a few hours of sleep on Tuesday or Wednesday night. Young Ilrldo gave his testimony sitting In an Invalld'B chnlr, for one of his foot had been frozen. Their action under the circumstances was one of tho things that Cardinal Farley referred to when ho sold that one of tho lessons which can Go drawn from the disaster wan tho assurance It ,gavo that men could bo depended upon to play the part of heroes In any emergency. Tho movement to increase the scope of wire les service, which had already commenced before the Titanic disaster, has received a new Impetus iand tho dawn of the new era, which was predicted long before the loss of the Titanic, has been ap preciably hastened, experts Bay. In England the government baa entered Into a .contract which will result In a system for connect ing every part of the British empire. Arrange tnents are already In progress and in due course a system will be started, It was said In parliament, which will extend from England to Cyprus, from Cyprus to Adon, rrom Aden to Ceylon, from Ceylon to tho Straits Settlements, from the Straits Settle ments to western Australia and from western Aus tralia to Now Zealand, forming a series of six stations, tho British dominions on the other side of tho world. Official Marconi publications say that the agreement will bo followed by others of a Blmllar nature with other countries. An interesting part of tho extension of the wire less is an arrangement with the Marconi com pany which will afford a trans-Pacific wireless service for an Amerlcnn land telegraph compnny. This company has entered into a truffle arrange ment with tho Marconi company whereby It will receive and deliver MarconlgramS to and from Eu rope Tho agreement provides for tho extension of tho Marconi system from tho Pacific coast or the United States U Hawaii. China, Japan and tho Philippines, thus glylng wireless trans-Pacific service. This agreement virtually gives the American compnny a largo share of tho wireless business. The English Marconi company is understood to bo planning a long distance wireless apparatus for direct communication between New York and Lon don, nnd it is said that a station near Now York would permit messages to bo sent to Cuba, Pana ma and South American countrlos. The Arlington station will have three steel tow ers arranged in tho form of a triangle. The aerial wlreB are to be strung from the taller tower to he other two on either side of It Tho Installa ltion for transmitting wireless at this Btatlon will bo duplicated at the others. In picking out locations for thoso new stations many points have had to be considered. In most cases somo ort of wireless equipment Is already ln operation lit these stations and the advisability "To strip wireless of Ita technicali ties ami boll It down to tho primal constituents Is not hard," said an ex pert who has made a study of tlio theory and knows tho practice., "it is simply transference through Bunco of wavoH of electromagnetic energy. "When a wireless operator presses a key, a spark Jumps between two pieces of motal. These two pieces of metal nro connected with long wires, called nutenunu, that nro strung on poles called aerials. The energy from this spark Is spread on these wires and diffused In waves. "These waves have definite length, which can bo determined partly through tho power of tho sending sta tion. The station that is receiving these Is ablo to put itself In tuno to recclvo wave lengths of the nature sent out by tho sending station and exclude others." Wireless relies on olectromagnotlo waves ns tho sourco of Its communi cation. TIicro wnvoB aro sometimes called Hertzian waves and wore made uso of for tho first tlnio In 18S0 by Prof. Amos Dolbcar of Tufts college. Ho applied for a patent on a wireless system that had every essential of the plan followed today. Ho got his pat ent In 1880, which was two years be fore Dr. Hertz's discoveries. sNnNBOM fa 9 2.

This Is evidenced by tho Arlington, sta tion, which Is across tho Potomac from Washing ton and near tho military reservation of Fort Myer. From Arlington tho north Atlantic ocean can bo covered and the naval baso at Guantannmo, Cuba, Is within Its radius, as Is also San Fran cisco. This, it Is pointed out, brings the canal zone into direct communication with Washington. Tho Pacific coast 'will bo dominated by tho Btatlon at San Francisco. At the Brooklyn navy yard tho Bailors who are to take places In tho wireless room of the battle ships Tecelvo a training in their work. For this branch of the service a building 300 feet long, SO feet wldo and two stories high has been Bet apart The course in wireless proper takes seven weeks. Tho first week is given over to the study of the theory of wireless communication and the next week sees the pupil at a sending key studying nnd practicing the continental code. Messages are sent by an automatic transmitter. . During the sevon weeks of the wireless train ing the pupil recolves instruction tn making dia grams of transmitting sets and aerials and tries his hand at repairing and overhauling the various sots In use. At tho end of the seventh week if he Is able to Bend and recelvo fifteen words a minute he is stationed at a receiving booth, where ho can have actual experience. Two weeks are allowed for review before the final examination. Beforo nctual wireless work Is taken up by the students each one goes through a short course In tho ground work of electrical equipment. Ho otarts at the blacksmith shop, wbero he learns to build a flro properly. Then hots taught forging, welding nnd tempering Iron and steel, and In structed In the uso of soldering Iron. In tho ma chine shop ho practices on tho lathe, simper, drill press, milling machine, emery wheel nnd bench. Engine work follows, for the naval electrician is expected to bo competent to repair any part of the ship's electrical equipment. Simple, com pound, turbine, oil and gasoline engines are taken apart and assembled, lined up and repaired. Valves, condensers, air and circulating pumps are mastered. Thero Is also three weeks Instruction in the work of interior communication and light ing of a ship which teaches tho student how to In stall and Inspect tho entire electrical equipment of a battleship. The authorities of the navy yard believe that the student Is not ready to take up the aotual study of wlroless communication until ho has first mastered the details of the machinery that mnkes the electrical spark possible. While everybody knows that wireless messages are being sent, it is not generally understood how this is done. What these investigators found was that when an electric spark Jumped between two poles thero wore started, In what the scientists call tho ether, magnetic force HneB. These forco-lines detached themselves nnd traveled on through spoco nt a tremcudous rate of speed. This speed has been reckoned at 1 80,000 miles a second. It was also learned that tboBo force lines went through spaco In wave lengths that could bo measured. Doctor Hertz found that tho presenco of these waves could be detected across a room by means of a loop of coppor wlro. This was called tho Hertz loop. Tho ends of this loop wero slightly parted, and It was found that the electric spark on one side of the room caused a small spark to pasa between the ends of the Hertz loop. Sir Oliver Lodge and William Marconi used the same spark gap and connected one side of It to a copper plate burled In tho earth and the opposite side to wires btrung in the air. When tho apparatus was constructed in this way the electric spark caused oscillations on the aerial wires and cre ated a wavo that could be detected at a consider able distance. . Tho modern wireless station has appliances to regulate the length of tho waves that carry the messages. To prevent Interference each ship installation operates on a different wave length and the re ceiving Instruments elthor on the ships or the land stations nro ablo to out In or tuno In on those lengths. The tuner ennbles an operator to change tho wavo lengths on tho receiving wires, and so get In touch with tho ofllco that Is calling. At tho senate Inquiry the operators from the Carpathla and tho Titanic were repeatedly asked what SOS nnd C Q D moana. Tho effect of these messages was vejy clear to tho operators, but thoy wero not ontlrely sure what tho letters themselves meant. Inquiries at tho Marconi offices brought the Information that tho .IcttcrB havo no signifi cance In themselves nnd are simply agreed codo signs. , Tho call C Q D Is made by tho symbols for the letters. C is dash, dot, dash, dot; Q Is dnsh, dash, dot, dash; D Is dauh, dot, dot. Tho-wrltten dan ger call of tho deep would look llko this: , " "i The SOS call is mado up of S: dot, dot, dot; O: dash, dash, dash; S: dot, dot, dot and looks llko this: . . .; -; . . . The C Q D sign Is a Marconi symbol. C Q Is an agreed call for the attention of all stations. Frequently messages of Importance are prefaced by theso letters. D means danger. It was further stated that SOS was adopted by tho Berlin con vention in 1902, Every wireless operator under stands thoso callB, In somo of tho foreign ships, wbero tho opera tors do riot speak English It Is customary to writ the symbols of the message and have them translated.
