“ VEST POCKET” WIRELESS SET IS
MADE PRACTICAL BY NEW YORKER
Bedford Hills, N. Y. — A compact
and efficient wireless receiving and
sending apparatus, invented recently
by Dr. H. Barringer Cox, of this place,
is to be lent to one of the foreign pow
ers for use in the trenches, according
to announcement of the inventor.
The device, which may be strapped
around the waist and deftly hidden by
the folds of a cloak so as to be invis
ible to an unsuspecting person, is in
reality a “ vest-pocket” wireless ap
paratus, as complete as any.
The sending apparatus consists of a
box in which are five dry cells and a
vibrator. The electric pulsations are
started by tapping a telegraph key,
and the current, which the doctor says
is modified with a hidden transformer
of his own invention, sends out its
messages in waves, long and - short.
The equivalent to a half watt, or one-
eightieth as much as is required for
the ordinary electric light bulb i3 the
amount of electricity necessary. From
the box projects a wire.
In warfare use this wire is carried
down the leg of the soldier and con
nected with a metal plate or spur in
the shoe.
The receiving instrument
consists of a drum about which is a
coil of wires. On top of this is a fine
deflector. It has a pair of ear-pieces
such as is worn by telephone operators.
Dr. Cox can send and receive mes
sages by this instrument over a dis
tance of 18 miles. When he desires
to receive a message be raises his cane.
Slock Exchange Clerks Overworked.
New York—So tremendous has been
the volume of trading on the stock ex
change this week that several prom
inent brokerage houses announced that
they were considering the advisability
of asking the board of governors of
the exchange to declare Monday a full
holiday, in order to give their over
worked clerks a rest. Many firms have
been obliged to work their forces day
and night. In one house two clerks
were taken away in an ambulance in
an exhausted condition.
The exchange governors, when ap
proached on the subject of closing the
exchange, maintained that they had no
right to cut off the security business
of the country on such short notice.
The promise was held out, however,
that should the great volume of trad
ing continue next week, the declara
tion of a special stock exchange holi
day would be considered.

cu ssin g w ith t h e a u th o r itie s the co

Couriers by boat and train as well as

Mississippi river south of here.
Boat passengers arriving from Em
pire, near Doulloth canal, about 50
miles down the Mississippi, reported

San Francisco—The California Grand
Lodge of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen is experiencing financial
difficulties, according to a report made
under the direction of State Insurance
Commissioner Phelps. The main diffi
culty seems to be a deficiency in the
reserve funds. This was explained by
A. H. McKeown, grand receiver, who
said men more than 64 years old had
not paid enough into the fund to carry
them after that age. They will now
have to make this good, he said, or it
will be deducted from their benefits.
