PUN TO AVOID INTERFERENCE

Wave Lengths, World Confer-
enoo Has Decided Will
Not Replace Cable.
Now York. High-power wireless
stations of tho llndlo Corporation of
America will bo completed this yoar
at Bogota Day, Colombia, and in Cuba,
and tbo great Buenos Aires station
will bo in operation In inld-1928, suys
E. J. Nally, president of tho company,
who roturned a few days ago from
conferences In Europe at which a
working agreement was reached among
tho great wireless companies of Eng
land, France, Germany and America.
From any part of tho United States
wireless messages may bo relayed
Speedily to Buenos Aires, South Africa,
Java, Calcutta or Melbourne, when the
radio building programs of tho great
American nnd European countries are
ccinploted. At present Franco has the
most powerful Btatlon in tho world In
tho Amcrlcan-bullt Lafuyetto towers
near Bordeaux, but this will bo super
seded by tho end of this year by tho
Port Jefferson station of tho Radio
corporation, which will bo tho most
powerful station In tho world. The
station under construction ut Bto.
Assise, near Paris, will ba second.
Tho British wireless chain connect
ing England with tho empire will havo
ono station comparatively closo to
Argentina, and thut will bo tho sta
tion at Bathurst, In Gambia, on tho
extreme western point of Africa,
whoro tho continents of Africa and
South America maho their closest ap
proach. "Tho stations of tho Itadlo corpora
tion In Cubu and Colombia uro prac
tically completed," said Mr. Nolly,
"and arc waiting on tho completion of
all tho towers at Port Jefferson before
going Into service. That will take placo
In December. Belaying from New York
to Cuba, to Bogota and then to Buenos
Aires wUl be possible, but will be used
only as an ouxlllury system. When tho
Buenos Aires plant is completed next
summer It will send to and receive
from the Port Jefferson station direct"
All of tho great systems will use dif
ferent wave lengths and avoid Inter
ference, according to tho agreement
reached at the conference nbroad, for
the use of similar wavo lengths would
reduce to confusion high-power wire
less communication all over tho world.
Tho British colonial chain of wireless
stations Is described as follows by L.
W. Austin, head of tho United States
Badlo Research Laboratory, In a com
munication to Tho Journal of. the

"Henry and I met wo years ago at

tt-
recommended that Btatlons of only
moderato power bo need, spaced at dis
tances of not more than 2,000 nautical
miles, the Intermediate stations acting
as relays for the more distant.
"There hnve been heated discussions
In England regarding tho relative
merits of the high-power, long-distance
transmission systems In comparison
with tho moderate power, Intermediate
relay systems. There can be mo doubt
that tho system of Intermediate sta
tions will give by far the most, reliable
communication, largely on account of
the small variability of signal Intensity
at shorter distance And probably
for government purposes, where re
liability Is of more Importance than
volume of trolllc curried, the system
Is superior.
"Tho plans of Franco for extremely
long distance communication are cen
tered around tho huge transmitting sta
tion now being completed at Stc.
Assise, between Fontalnblenu and
Paris. This station Is expected by Its
promoters to communlcato with Sai

Buenos Aires, 6,050 miles, and, of
course, many nearer points."

Zedeklnh was made king of Judnh
by the king of Babylon (24:17), but In
spite of this kindness nnd the word
of the Lord spoken to him by Jeremiah
(Jer. 38:17, 18: cf. Jer. fi2:3), ho re
belled against the king of Babylon. Ho
relied upon the help of Egypt, but all
that Egypt could do wns to cause
temporary Interruption of the siege of
Jerusalem.
I. Tho S!ae of Jerusalem (vv. 1-3).
1. Time of (vv. 1, 2). It began on
tho tenth dny of the tenth month of
the ninth year of Zedeklah's reign nnd
lasted about eighteen months. Tho
tenth month nccordlng to the Jewish
cnlendnr corresponds to our Dccember
Jnnuary, ns their cnlendnr year began
about the middle of March. The reason
the exuet time Is given Is that this
was to be an event of great Importance
to the Jews In their exile.
2. The Method (v. 1). Nehuchndncz
zar came In person with a large army
and encamped against Jerusalem and
built forts ngulnst It round about. It
Is thought that siege walls were built
around the city, shutting It In. On
tbo tops of these walls forts wero built
from which missiles of destruction
could be hurled by their engines of
war against the city. With the city
shut In its fall was only n question
of time.
8. The Famine (v. 3). It Is estimat
ed that one-third of the people of Jeru
salem died of starvation.
II. Zedeklah's Flight and Fate (vr.
4-7).
1. "The City was Broken Up" (v. 4).
The Chnldean8 had succeeded In mak
ing nn opening In the wall so largo
that they could make their way Into
the city In spite of all thnt the He
brews could do. Resistance wns car
ried on to the bitter end.
2. Zedeklah's Flight (v. 4). The king
witli his men of war fled by night to
ward the plnln. Ills object, no doubt,
wns to cross the Jordan at Jericho
und hide In the mountains enst of
Jordan.
3. Zedeklah's Fate (vv. 5-7). (1) Ho
was overtaken In the plains of Jericho
(v. 5). When ills flight was discovered
the Chaldean army pursued nnd cap
tured him. (2) He was brought to
tho king of Babylon at Itlblah (v. 0).
Itlbloh was a town north of Dnmascus.
It wns the king's headquarters from
which he directed his armies against
Tyre and Jerusnlem. Before Neb
uchadnezzar, Zedeklah was tried as
n criminal. (3) His fate (v. 7). His
sons were slain In his sight; his eyes
were put out ; ho was bound with fet
ters of brass; and they carried him
to Babylon where he remained pris
oner until the day of his death (Jer.
52:11).
III. Jerusalem Destroyed (vv. 8-10).
The dismantling of tho city wns de
layed u month, perhaps awultlng In
structions from Nebuchadnezzar, who
was nt IMblnh.
1. They Burnt the House of the Lord
(v. 0). This was the sucred temple
built by Solomon with nddltlons nnd
modifications. Before burning It they
plundered It of all Its sacred contents.
2. Burnt tho King's House (v. 0).
This wns doubtless the palace built
by Solomon.
3. Burnt All tho nouses of Jeru
salem (v. 0). The Implication Is thut
the common houses were left for tho
people (v. 12).
1. They Broke Down tho Walls of
Jerusnlem. The nim was to render
the walls useless us a means of de
fense. IV. The Disposition of the People
(vv. 11, 12).
1. Carried Them Into Captivity (v.
11). The people who were left In tho
city nnd those who had deserted to
tho Babylonians were carried to Baby
lon; all such as would be of use In
Babylon.
2. The Poorest of the Land Wero
Left (v. 12). The peoplo who would
not likely mnke any trouble were left
na vine-dressers nnd husbnndmen.
Doubtless they wero looking forward
to colonization by foreign peoples. Tbo
object In lenvlng these peoplo wns that
tho country might bo ready for their
coming. Over theso peoplo Gcdullah
was appointed ns gorernor, with head
quarters at Mlzpah.
