MANY TAILORS DECEIVED.
More tban 1,000 EclnlTe Namplea
et Into the Wrong Hand
A .piece of cardboard covered with
Hfjuare samples of woolen cloths for
men's and women's suitings mlsht not
seem to the average man a valuable
article, yet elaborate schemes to get
hold of such sample cards are planned
and sometimes carried through, accord
Ing to the New York Sun.
A couple arrived recently at the bct
of the Philadelphia hotels and set out
to visit all the leading tailors. The
man wanted a .winter outfit of a com
prehensive character, while the wom in
was Just as interested in accumulating
n winter wardrobe of the tailor-inudo
variety. Occupying large rooms in Die
hotel, there was no reason to believe
that the two were anything other th-tn
they represented themselves. So when
they gave the number of their suite in
the hotel the samples wre forthcoming.
After several days had passed with
out the expected orders the tailors be
gan to send to the hotel for informa
tion. The answer returned was thit
the two had given up their rooms and
left the day before. No samples were
to lie found.
The number of inquiries became so
large that they were referred by the
hotelA there was no reason to believe
More than 1,000 samples of cloth had
been sent by the tailors to the couple.
Investigation showed their purpose
when in the P.road street station were
found two wooden packages they had
checked there, filled with sample cards
from which the cloth had been torn
away.
The couple had succeeded in acquir
ing possession of the best samples of
the firms that deal in the high-class ex
elusive patterns. Of course, they will
sell their patterns to the cheaper firms
that endeavor to reproduce them.
Even a bolder effort to get the ex
clusive samples is reported from Chi
cago. There two men rented a store
in which to open a tailoring business
of a high-priced character and sent to
the manufacturers for their samples.
The samples were sent, but no orders
ever came.
Later inquiry from the manufactur
ers showed that the firm had got no
further in its career than taking the
store for a month. Its object was plain
when some of the best designs were
turned out by the cheap mills.
WONDERFUL CANYON IN WEST.
A. Black Myatery, Which Man Haa
Hot Vet Solved.
At the earliest possible moment
Lieut. Robertson and I took his camera
and tripod and silently stole away to
the mouth of the canyon (in the Sho
shone mountains, Wyoming). The two
crunches of the river came together a
few rods above a great wall of bare
thrown rock, a hundred feet high, which
really is a part of the southern side
of Knttlesuake mountain. Through a
crack in the mountain about as wide
ns Nassau street, between perpendicu
lar walls of bare rock, the river swirls
and roars down eight miles of black
mystery never penetrated by living man.
It is said that logs which enter the
mouth of the canyon uuscarred come
out kindling below.
It is idle to believe or to say that
the water has cut that canyon, for It
has done nothing of the kind. An
earthquake did it; my word for it.
Had it been left for the river to erode,
on its own hook, long before the pent
up waters had started a cutting
through that flinty carboniferous lime
stone, the river would blithely have
gone southward around the mountain,
where the wagon trail runs, and found
easy flowing, with no ' rock to exca
vate. We went into the dark nnd gloomy
mouth of the canyon, as far ns any
man may go, and soon were stopped
by the lack of footing. Fifty feet far
ther on, the rift turned sharply to the
left, taking the foaming waters along
with it, and the view ended against
a blank wall. Quite near the ultimate
point we smellod a strong odor of sui
phureted hydrogen and other disagree
able gases, nnd looked about. Close at
hand, under the foot of the overhang
ing wall of smooth rock, lay a little,
Innocent-looking pool in a basin no
larger than a bathtub, which was tho
cause of the b:ld odors. Close beside
it lay a dead porcupine and a dead
magpie, both poisoned by these noxious
gases. Elsewhere they would have been
entcn long n;v by coyote or fox; but
there beside that deadly spring they
lay, untouched. Scribner's Magazine.
Why Jap Talk Mtlle.
"Do you know why the Japanese talk
so little?" nsked a navy ollieer. just
back from a foreign station. Answer
ing his own query, he continued: "Si
lence Is bred in the bono. For nges
spies, or cross-eyed persons, have been
everywhere and over everything. They
always go in pairs, so as to bo spies
over each other, nnd, ns the violation
of the law is deatli death to the high
est nnd lowest alike we oanwell un
derstand how the Japanese have been
so obstinate In their conversatisni, un
der a system of espionage which noth
ing can escape, coupled with a rigidity
of law and a ferocity of punishment
whl:h no one can bend nnd few dare til
brave."
The Supreme Tet.
"You are all right" said the doctor
after he had gone through with the
regulation thumping and listening
with his patlentv "Not a trace of
heart disease. Fifteen dollars, please!"
The patient drew a long breath and
remarked : "I am sure now I have no
heart disease. If I had. I should have
dropped dead when you mentioned your
fee."
"HELLOl" PARIS.
Uniting France and America by Wire
less Phone.
-"Hello, Paris! This is New York."
To start a conversation like this
across the universe seems like an
achievement beyond the dream of a
Jules Verne or the imaginative picture
of a Bellamy Storer, yet in the busiest
city of the world, New York, such an
experiment will take place shortly,
with every assurance of success. On
this occasion, when science announces
its triumph to the world, society of the
nations will offer its congratulations in
a unique and unrivaled n amer, and
will feature on its social calendar a
luncheon at which Frederick Townsend
Martin will preside, that for interest
and charm will make all past society
events seem coinmonp'ace, when the
first wireless luncheon will take place
in the salon of the Hotel Plaza.
While this luncheon is being served
a voice will speak uniting two of the
greatest nations of history. It will be
the voice of America's most prominent
society man reading a message of Pres
ident Taft to President Fallieres of
France. It will be transmitted to Mrs.
Nora Blatch DeForest in the Metropol
itan tower, the talented pioneer of her
sex in this field and foremost woman
civil engineer in the world, who will
receive this message from the Plaza and
send it over a radio wireless telephone
at the rate of 186,000 miles a second,
to a fair daughter of France in the
Eiffel tower.
The salon will be decorated to re
semble a forest. Trees will be in full
bloom and birds singing from their
branches. Presiding at this table will
b'e Mr. Frederick Townsend Martin
who will be the guest of the American
Wireless association of which Dr. De
Forest is president. The guests will
be leading society people and scientific
men of note. Mons. Etienne Lianel,
consul general of France, representing
the French government and one of its
guests of honor, has said that if wire
less telephony is brought to a state of
perfection it will become a political
and diplomatic time saver.
The table will represent the Atlantic
ocean. At one end will be the Metro
politan tower, architecturally raised in
candy; at the other end will be the
Eiffel tower.' On this miniature ocean
will be small ships of various nations
sailing back and forth. The shore
landings of both France and America
will be appropriately represented.
The menus will be small telephone
directories, and the dishes will be list
ed as telephone numbers. The place
cards will be wireless messages sent
from the Ritz Carleton in France to
the guests assempled at the Plaza in
America. These messages will be re
ceived through wireless table phones
permitting the guests at both tables to
converse with each other, although
Separated by half a world.
The waiters will be summoned by
wireless telephone and at the end car
riages will be called by this means.
The favors will be small radio spark
less wireless telephone outfits of very
light weight and will be utilized by the
guests in the ceremonies attending the
luncheon and carried away to commem
orate the latest gigantic feat of mod
ern science.
It will take just one-fortieth of a
second for the message to travel across
the Atlantic and about one seventh of
a second to go around the world. Fol
lowing this, mutual toasts will be
given by the guests of this wireless
luncheon who will be separated by an
ocean, yet able to converse as if face
to face.
The value of this marvelous scien
tific and mechanical feat, can hardly be
estimated, and will stand among the
first half dozen scientific wonders of
all time. Its effect upon the trans
mission of commercial business will be
revolutionary, and will mean that we
can communicate with Europe at the
cost now prevailing for a domestic tel
egram.
The great station in the Metropoli
tan tower is now being rushed to a
stage of completion. This will be ab
solutely the finest wireless station in
the world. Its cost is not comparable
to that of other equipments, as the sta
tion comprises all sorts of experiment
ing apparatus. It is thought that
$300,000 would not cover the outlay if
a structure as high as the Metropolitan
tower had to be erected especially for
th ' work. As long as the tower has
already been constructed, the cost, out
side of the apparatus, will be neglig
ible.
The workings of the radio wireless
peone are wonderfully simple when
the complex problems involved and
overcome in its creation are consid
ered. In telephoning, the operator talks
into the mouthpiece exactly as with
the wire telephone and listens for a
reply through a head phone instead of
a receiver. In order to get into com
munication with a wireless telephone
station, it becomes necessary to get
the instrument to the known tune of
the other station and then press the
buzzer key which calls the person to
the phone at the other end. The con
versation is then carried on as if the
two operators were face to face.
The mechanical principles upon
which the radio wireless telephone de
pend are simple enough, although there
is a great difference of opinion upon
the actual explanation of the phenome
non of wireless telephony. Speech is
the forming of very rapid and every
varying series of vibrations in the air,
and their measurement by the nerves
of the ear. Owing to the resistance of
the atmosphere, these vibrations grow
weaker and at last disappear as we get
farther from the source of disturbance.
Telephony is the art of translating
these vibrations into vibrations of ether
whose lesser resistance enables them
to be carried to great distances fcr the
translation into air vibrations a-nin,
as oiily the air vibrations can be meas
ured by the ear. In the wireleM tele-

phone the air waves are translated into
the vibrations of an electrical discharge
which oscillates the ether.
The ether waves, sent out by trans
mitting station, having been there
modified by the human voice, are
changed back at the receiving station
into such form as to effect the receiver
and cause the exact air vibrations
which were made to modulate the
transmitting current, and therefore,
the words of the Bpeaker are heard ex
actly as spoken.
Dr. DeForest bases his claims for
success on his past experiments with
the wireless telephone at the sugges
tion of Admiral Evans, who conducted
the experiments on board his flagship,
the Connecticut, and another vessel.
Every battleship, cruiser or torpedo
boat of the great Pacific fleet was
equipped with radio wireless tele
phones before setting out on the mem
orable cruise. These instruments were
given a thorough trial in inter-ship
communication and in conversation
with several wireless stations cn the
Pacific coast.
In the meantime, the young inventor
has not been content to rest on the
laurels obtained from his successful
work in the navy and has carried on
many experiments, both at home and
abroad. In May, 1908, from the Eiffel
tower, wireless messages were Bent by
the radio telephone to every wireless
station in France. A warship off
Marseilles, nearly 600 miles away,
heard the transmitted messages just as
distinctly as did the stations near
Paris. While doing this, Dr. DeForest
had equipped several of the vessels of
the Italian navy and the instruments
met with such decided success that an
arrangement has been practically con
cluded for the equipment of the entire
navy.
Mrs. DeForest is quite as interesting
as her inventor-husband. She grad
uated from Cornell university in the
difficult science of civil engineering.
She was the first and only woman to
graduate from an Eastern college in
this profession. After her graduation
honors were heaped upon her until she
stood before the world as its foremost
woman hydraulic engineer; and a re
markable examp'e of woman's intel
lectual equality with man.
