Tea V yeavs hence the latest development y of Uils new science wireless to- v 3Kii- -t '""-? 'A$4lltEft. of. Uils new science wireless te lephony may have made It pos sible for the business man sitting In his olllee In London to ring up his neighbor In New York or Chi cago. This Is a development quite within the bounds of achievement. Technically. It Is a much simpler - ' matter than that of telephoning from Knxlund to America by means of an undersea cable: I believe I am rh;ht in stating that the great est under-waler distance through which ordi nary telephony has been conducted to date Is not more than L"0 miles, and that this has only been accomplished experimentally by employing appa ratus Mich as could not In Its present form be put into general use for commercial pur poses. The longest telephone cable actually operating today Is about 100 miles In extent. As a matter of fact otdlnary cable telephony has not yet taken place between England and Hol land, although these two countries luivo such Intimate commercial rela tions that there can bo no question nbout the demand. The trouble In under-wntcr cable telephony lies In the very pronounced distortion which takes place after the electrical waves, which are the equiv alent of the vocal sounds, have passed a few miles through the cable. Even In the twenty-odd miles between Eng land and France It hns been found necessary to placo on tUo ocean bed special appllnnccs for overcoming this distortion. These appliances add 'con siderably to the expense and upkeep of the circuit. Now, it Is n curious fact thnt,nl though an electrical oscillation pro jected through an under-sea cable be comes rapidly distorted, an electrical wave radiated across the ether by n modern wireless apparatus retains Its original characteristics however great the distance over which It may travel. In wireless telephony we convert the modulations of human speech Into equivalent modulations of the elec trical waves, and radiate them through the ether until they strike the nerlal wires of a receiving apparatus. There they nre reconverted into sound waves such as can ho recognized by the hu man car. As the ether is so clastic ns to allow these electrical waves to maintain their original form, the ques tion of reception Is little more than that of magnifying the Incoming slg- nals. Wireless speech has already taken place across tho North Atlantic ocean, but tho apparatus employed was of nn experimental, rather than a com mercial character, and therefore de velopment is necessary before one can record transatlantic conversation as n commercial possibility. To conduct uninterrupted speech over sea distances similar to that be tween London and -New York will re quire, nt any rato with our present day experience, considerable power at the transmitting end. Until a few weeks ngo I might havo been tempted to estimate this power at tho electrical equivalent of, over 1,000 horse-power, but the experiments which I havo been engaged upon recently on my yacht, the Elettrn, lead me to modify my estimate. Hitherto, as everyone con nected with wireless Is aware, we havo olways found It necessary to keep in reserve on commercial wireless cir cuits a large amount of electrical en orgy for tho purpose of breaking through terrestrial electrical disturb ances. Tho sources of these disturb ances are not always clear, but they nre such that at Intervals during tho day, and notably In tho summer months, they set up In the wireless receiving apparatus such a din of meaningless noises that it Is dlfllcult to read tho systematically transmitted signal. This new apparatus, which has been developed by engineers of my com pany, makes it possible- for us to sift tho mixed wireless and non-wireless impulses so that wo obtain on our au tomatic recorders, or In the telephone receivers only tho signals sent out by tho distant wireless "stations. I think relessWonders that one of the outcomes of this In vention will bo the employment of smaller powers than have hitherto been considered necessary for cover ing certain dlstnnces. It is still u little premuture to talk of the day when everyone will pos sess his Individual wireless telephone, particularly one of the portable vari ety, which may he carried about and used nt will; but I nm not going to suggest thnt it will never be possible for a large number of circuits to be used within the same area. This does not mean that there Is not ulready a vuluublo field of practicable usefulness for the wireless telephone. The Held Is grenter than Is generally realized today, and I regret to say that Its application to Industrial needs Is taking place more rapidly In other countries than In this one. In Hol land, for Instance, tho Amsterdam stock exchange circulates by wireless telephone at frequent intervals dally the latest financial Information, and this is received simultaneously In nearly 200 banks In Holland by means of npparatus constructed by the Mar coni company. 1 am Informed that the arrangement has given great satis faction and a considerable Impetus to business. What Holland can do can bo done equally well In this and other coun tries, nnd the Information radiated need not be confined to financial mat ters. All that Is needed Is a fair op portunity for demonstrating the pos sibilities und for conducting a similar service. A few weeks ago representatives of tho Times newspaper talked by wire less telephony between Southwold In Suffolk and Znndvoort In Holland. On that occasion they conversed freely for SO minutes from tho respective wireless telephono stations, and I hopo thnt we may bo permitted shortly to show that our experiments between Southwold and Zandvoort have a very practicable application, and that by Unking up this wireless circuit with tho telephone wires nt tho English and Dutch ends it may be possible for any ono la London possessing n telephone apparatus to ring up tho exchange In London, ask for tho wireless routo to Amsterdam, and speak to a corre sponding subscriber In Amsterdam. In this case tho telephonic messago from London to Southwold would bo relayed automatically by wireless across the1 North sea, reconverted to land wire message between Zandvoort and Am sterdam, nnd received In Amsterdam exactly In the same way us n short distance call over tho ordinary cir cuit The Anglo-Dutch wireless telephono circuit operates on a wave length which permits of very sharp tuning, and causes no disturbance to tho wire less circuits employed by tho military, navul and ulr services. It would, in fact, bo posslblo to multiply these routes and hnve quite n number of wireless circuits to tho continent working In collaboration with tho land lines. While tho experiments nt South wold uro ubout 1o demonstrate tho Immedlnto practicability of wireless for trunk routes, whether they bo overland or overseas, a series of experi ments in another part of this country has demonstrated that It is now pog slblo to speak by wireless In one par- UmUVTUYfl :-3&mmBKMMiLi asMm v a p -csu irnrnirrmrwin r"i ttSMHsKiinHP" S!! slaH -HiiMisH7i3HHL WAHIWrVirirrclr.

Tho only commercial use for which wireless telephony has so far been sanctioned In this country Is thnt of establishing a communication between the Itur lightship In the Irish .channel und the olllccs of tho Mersey docks and harbor board in Liverpool. In tercommunication is conducted almost every hour of tho day with this ap paratus by men who have had no spe cial training, and without any Inter ference with tho wireless service con ducted at the mouth of the Mersey by tho Seuforth station belonging to the British post olllcc. It Is absurd to think that this Is tho only pluco where u useful servleo cun be per formed by wireless telephony. I need hnrdly dwell on the growth of wireless telephony In connection with ucrlnl communications. I be lieve I urn right In stating that every British machine regularly Hying be tween London and tho continent has been fitted by tho Marconi company with tho wireless telephone, and wo havo numerous Instances where these instruments havo contributed to the safety of the services, and performed other valuable functions. Wo have also demonstrated to one of tho railways tho possibilities of wireless telephonic communications as on auxiliary to tho ordinary telephono lines, nnd It may be that now govern ment control has been removed from railway operations, some progress will bo mado along the Hues Indicated by us. I havo suggested that tho day has not arrived for the so-called pocket wireless set Tho sensitiveness of wireless receivers has been so greatly Increased In recent years that It Is posslblo even now to possess portablo apparatus capable of receiving slmuls from high-powered stations many hun dreds of miles distant, but this Is quite a different matter from transmitting signals. For wireless transmissions It Is still necessary to rulso u wire a considerable height above tho trans mitter, nnd If serious distances have to be covered It Is nlso necessary to havo a sourco of electrical power greater than can bo ut present con veniently carried by nn Individual. How near wo have approached tho Ideal of n portablo transmitter was demonstrated by tho Marconi com pnny n few months ago when the Lon don flro brigade conducted wireless telephonic communications between ono of their tenders on Putney LTeath and their headquarters at Southwark, n distance of some seven or eight miles. In this case the aerial wire was hung from tho branches of n small tree near tho roadside, and the ap paratus employed was stored In n small space at tho back of tho vehicle. Ono thing is certain, the sclenco of wireless telephony will not stand still. Llko tho trdlnary telephone, It Is pass lng through a period when It lacks olll clal encouragement, and Is depend ent for Its salvation entirely upon those who are engaged In Its develop, merit. In 20 years tho mysterious all-per-vudlng ether will be surging with hu man speech conveyed by ether waves. Whispered conversation with friends In lands as remote n Australia will w Afoto t? wjfitoit 3QZnj?lfe probably bo commonplace, and science, having revealed to humanity another wonder of nature, will have forged thereby a fresh link in the much-desired chain of International fellow ship. "Tho night of December 7, 1021," says Raymond Francis Yates In the New York Times "Current History," marked a new era In amateur wire less work, for on that and succeeding nights more than a score of American and Canadian amateur operators Urst reullzed their ambition of "getting across" tho Atlantic. Though the law limits amateurs to comparatively short wave lengths, some of their mes sages during that historic test covered 3,000 miles of ocean and were accu rately recorded at an amateur receiv ing station in Scotland. Toward the end of 11)21 a photo graph of President Harding was Hashed across the Atlantic ocean from Annapolis to Paris In 20 minutes, This feat was achieved with an Ingenious apparatus Invented by Edouard Belln. Tho picture, of course, was not trans mitted In material form, but was trans lated Into rudlo-telegriipbic Impulses, which were recorded on tho distant apparatus. Tho work done along this line opens up u new Held. Within a few years we shall probably bo trans mitting Important news pictures over great distances, u:id then how easy It will bo even to sign checks and Im portant papers through tho ether! In fact, a signature sent by this method bus already been recognized as legal In France. , The possibility of crim inal detection Is also interesting in this connection. A criminal's likeness can bo sent broadcast to any part of the country within tho spuce of a -few minutes. It is gratifying to know that Amer ica has taken tho lead In tho develop ment of radio telegraphy, There was recently opened nt Rocky Point, Long Island, n powerful radio station de signed to mako New York tho focal point of radlo-telegniphlc communica tion throughout tho world. Hils pow erful transmitter, tho aerials of which ara supported by no Ipas than seventy two 410-foot stool towers, and spread over spaco of ten square miles, will enable this country to communi cate with six foreign nntlons simul taneously, Besides this wo have sov oral other transatlantic stations and ono transpacific station, Although the United fitntes has taken tho lead In tho development and application of radio telegraphy, Eng land, Franco, Germany ami Japan oro by no moanB overlooking tho value of this kind of communication. England has already started to carry out an ambitious plan which will glvo her an "All lied Chain" of wireless sta tions throughout tho world, Japan re cently completed tho erection of a powerful transmitter which places her in direct touch with points as far dis tant ns tho United States. Oermnny's powerful Nauen station represents tho latest advances in tht nrt and keeps her In constant touch with the com mercial activities of America. France has provided herself with a number of efllclent radio stations for world wldo communication. Hh Scandi navian Peninsula Is In direct touch with America through the use of u newly erected station. , 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndlcat IMPROVED UNIFORM INTIRNATrOTWl, SundaySchool T Lesson T (By IinV I'.

In tho fourth year of Jeholaklm, Jeremiah had been exercising the prophetic min istry sotuu thirty years. '2. Against Whom Spoken (v. 2). They were directed against Israel, Judah and all the nations. a. The Purpose of (v. .1). The grand object of the Lord lu sending this message by tho prophet was Judith's repentance. 1. Method of (v. !). Jeremiah dic tated the words of the Lord to Pa ruoh the Scribe, who wrote them upon a roll of a hook. II. The Book Being. Read (vv. 0-21). Jeremiah was unable to speak the mesv.ige of the Lord to tho people, as he wus "shut up" (v. 5). "Shut up" most likely means a royal ban against Jeremiah's proclamation of (iid's Word to tho people or against Ids entering the temple. 1. To the People (vv. 0-10). Tho occasion which brought the people together was a day of fasting (v. 0), because of the threatening of tho IlnhylniilaiiH. Jeremiah directed Ha ruch to read to the people the words of the Lord which ho had dictated to him, with the hope that the people would present their supplication lie fore the Lord and return every ono from his evil way. 2. To the Princes (vv. 11-1S)). While tho reading of tho book unto tho peo ple seemingly created no great Im pression, yet Mlchalah was so deeply moved that ho went to the scribe's clvaniber where the princes were as sembled and declared unto them all the words which he had heard IUiruch read. The princes sent for llaruch to come and bring tho roll with them. Haruch name and read to them with the result that (1) they were aroused with fear (v. 10). (2) They Inquired ns to how lie had writ ten tho words (vv. 17, 18). To this ho replied that ho had written In tho book the words which Jeremiah had dictated to him. (,'!) Their couceni for the safety of Jeremluh and Uaruch (v. 19). They were Instruct ed to hide themselves from man's sight. a. To the King (vv. 20, 21). Tho princes regarded the words of the Lord to he of such Importance that they should be read In tho hearing of the king, for ho was mainly Involved In the judgments pronounced. Upon their report of the matter to the king, ho had JehudI bring the roll nnd read It to him In the presence of tho princes. III. The King Destroying the Rolt (vv. 22-20). Instead of becoming penitent and afraid ho became enraged and cut the roll leaf by leaf and threw It Into the fire until It was consumed. This he did against the intercession of some of tho princes. When the roll was destroyed he ordcrod Jeremluh und Uaruch arrested. IV. The Roll Rewritten (vv. 27-32). Tho burnt roll was reproduced by the command of the Lord, and many like words were added unto them. Wo should learn from this Incident 1. The Indestructibility of God's Word. Men may cut It to pieces and burn It, but the Word of God shall stund forever. It comes to light again with woes added to bo visited upon Its would-be destroyers. 2. The reason men attempt to de stroy God's Word. It Is because of tho authorltutlvo rebuke ol their sins. The IMble arraigns man for his prldo and wickedness and asserts God's sover eign power ovor man, and his demand for a pcrsonnl surrender unto Him nnd worship of Him. a. Tho Method of Attempted De struction of God's Word. It was part by part. "When Jehudl had read three or four leaves he cut It with a penknife." Tho rationalist today cuts out the biblical conception of God ns a being whoso essential nuture de mands punishment of sin; therefore he cuts out the Bible doctrli.o of man as created of God In Ills likeness nnd Image. Instead of that he makes man a product of evolution; therefore he explains away tho fall of man. The Route to Heaven.
