Chapman atreet
This practical young electrician has
without the aid of any on constructed I
two corapleU wireless outfits with
which ha can send messages 25 miles,
Hs receives oalla from wireless stations
all over the coast, but because he haa as
yet bo reflector for hla apparatus he
lias not held any conversation with
other points. - " " - s ,
. The young Inventor haa both the wire
leas systems, the Marconi and DeForrest,
at hla finger tips. He haa made an ex
hauative - atudy of electricity and hla
command of the technical nomenclature
i amaslng for one so young. Every
piece of mechanism that goes Into the
make-up of the delicate Instrument is
as familiar to him as the construction
of a common Jack-knife Is to the average
boy of -hla age. -rf -s :
: - Halt Qwm lfachlrery. ?u-:
Nearly all his apare time after school
Jiours ia devoted to the atudy of his ma
chine. Ha made practically very bit of
It with hla own hands, only buying the
bare material. On the induction eoll
alone he worked for three months until
he had wound 70,000 feet of fine wire
around a ; spindle to Jnake hla spark
coils. He aays the making of these colls
is hla specialty. Ia fact, he makes coils
and soils them to obtain money with
which to buy apparatus which ha haa no
means of making himself.
The boy aays he would not take 12,500
for the experience he has had-with the
wireless apparatus. It would take per
haDa that much to bur a set of Instru
ments with the efficiency of hla own if
lie pad to purchase tnem on the market.

To show how ingenious young Bristol
la it ia only necessary 'to say that he

8LETNDER Itargaret Knolly, now, If
you please. . The fascinating leading
lady of the Bijou, now more fascinating
than n tnntnhiri all hr friends On
Broadway the other day by presenting
to their admiring gaae a avelt and Wil
lowy form in place of the plump, not to
say fat. outlines with whicn ana gauy i
sailed away to new triumph a and f or- J
elgn ahorcs last January. After a gooa
deal of diplomatic cross-examination
front interested fat acquaintances the
secret waa cautiously whlsperod te a
few dear friends, with the result that
everybody known it now. It was not!
exercise, nor fasting, nor sea alt, nor
worry about her new venture that had
brought about this wonderful .willowy
change In the charming Margaret; no,
none of these; nothing but a simple
mixture which all good druggists are
familiar with and can aupply at email I
coat, to-wlt: . Ono half ounce Marmola,
one half ounce Fluid Extract Caacara
Aromatic, and three and one half ounces
of Syrup Simplex. -"Grown folks need
a teaspoonful after meala ' and at bed
time," explained the now Blender Mar
garet. "It la simply wonderful. It
take off the fat quickly, as much as
a pound a day, and keeps It off. You
can eat what you like, too. In that re
spect it ia unlike anything of the kind
I ever heard of, and besides It has an
other splendid feature it Is entirely
harmless, and will not cause wrinkles.
I think it is about as essential a toilet
article for the woman who la fat and
wants to get thinner as face" powder.
In order to get the best results, how
ever, you ehould buy the Marmola In
the original package and mix It in with
the ether two Ingredients after you get
home."

For spark knoba which produce' the
wave vibrations that .take the wireless
messages, he utilises the brass topa of
an old beasteaa. ,
In explaining the working of his In
struments to a reporter he showed how
upon the a lie of the spark generated;
depends the distance a' message can be
transmitted. His instrument will give
a spark seven inches in length, but he
has placed his spark knobs only a tenth
of an inch apart. Telling why he did

"Now if you should throw a long thin
rock in the water it would not make as
big a ripple as lr you should throw a
big fat cue of the same weight. ', So I
figure that a short fat spark will make
more of a commotion In space than a
long thin one. .
"This coil," pointing to his induction
coil, to which was connected a current
of electricity frorn four Leyden Jars
and a dozen storage batteries, "is ca
pable of producing a voltage of 60,000.
For this reason It is not a very safe
thing to have around the house. That's
why I keep it in the attic. . ' .

' young Bristol then went on to ex
plain other parts of his apparatus until
the reporter was bewildered by the ar
ray of technical terms that were mar
shalled out by the little electrician.

in the wireless fV
"I saw, an article In the Scientific
American several years ago about It
when Marconi was making his prelimi
nary experiments. I bought an electric
bell for $1 and then took it apart to aee
how It was made. Since then I have
been experimenting with electrlolty
during most of my leisure houra, and es
pecially with wireless telegraphy. 2
have also delved Into wireless tele

paratus in his workroom in the attic
and this he also showed to the reporter.
He says he haa been successful in talk

machine but has not yet had time
enough to perfect it

are much older than he. The object of
the club is to promote Interest in the
study of wireless telegraphy. Several
others of the boys- have instruments
but none of the others have like Bristol,
made their own apparatus.
Chester Auxtln, Leland James and
Reginald Savage, all east side boys,
have outfits of their own and all are
enthusiastic electricians. These boys
sent a message to Portland Heights the
other day. All of the club members are
glad to receive Instruction from the

They look upon him as a wizard in the

SAYS THOMPSON
III GET WEIL
Physician Declares Youth Is
in No Danger of Selapsing
Into Insanity.
, (United Press Least Wire.) .
-Tacomai May IS. That Chester
Thompson haa not only completely re
covered his sanity, but that there is
no danger of a relapse Into his former
mental state was the opinion expressed
this morning by Dr. T. F, Smith, the
third expert called by tho petitioner. ,
This expression of opinion . waa
brought out ahortly before the witness
was turned over to the state for cross
examination, after Mr. Shipley had led
up to the crucial point by an adroit se
ries of questions covering the doctor's
examinations and observations of Ches
ter at the former trial. Since then Br.
Smith haa been a medical expert ap
pointed to examine into Cheater's san
ftv. This was one of the strongest
points yet brought out for the peti
tioner's case, aa his reason for believ
ing Chester had become cured "to stay
cured," the doctor gave the fact that
his physical health has improved, gained
ever an inch In atature and 15 to 20
founds in weight since his lnoarcera
lon. Physically he now aeema to be
In perfect condition. v '
When a mental recovery, the doctor

noticeable Improvement in the physical
health 01 tne aurierer. it is aimosi a
foregone conclusion there will be a
cropping oack into we previous, insane
state. He had come tte the conclusion
that Chester Thompson's form of in
eanltv waa what ia called adolescent.
or Juvenile Insanity, a form which boys
and girls are more or less subject to
about the age of maturity providing
necessary contributing- causes are pres
ent. In Chester's case the doctor stat
