I tael f board Just as the human voice
does by a series o f waves moving free­
ly through apaoa
When I apeak my voice Is sent out
In undulations o f varying length and
frequency through the sir. When the
wireless “ apeaks" Its voice Is conveyed
by undulations lo the ether, which Is
s more refined medium than sir. carry­
ing tbs waves o f Ugbt and electricity
as the air carries those o f sound.
'T h e oscillator o f tbs wireless Is a
“ mouth.’’ sending ont undulations in
the ether as our mouths send out un­
dulations in the sir. and tbs resona­
tor o f the wireless la an “ ear.’* catch­
ing the etbertal waves as they Im­
pinge upon I t as our ears catch tbs
atmospheric waves that strike them.
W e see nothing wonderful In vocal
sounds, because nature gave ns In onr
needs one instrument to produce them
and another to receive them. Bat she
left oe to find out for ourselves bow
to produce and receive “ vocal" waves
In the ether. Since w e had to make
the instruments that deal with them
the etberlc waves seem to os marvel-
pus. although they are in principle no
more marvelous than tbs wsvaa o f air.
Man began to nae electricity for con­
veying intelligence by sending a cur­
rent o f it alyug s wire. He pressed a
button at onr end o f the line, and tbs
electric current passing along the «Ir a
Induced - a corresponding motion in a
tapper at the other and. It was a
roundabout way o f employing an agen­
cy which we now know can be em­
ployed more simply and directly by
throwing away the wires and making
the electric wavee “ speak" straight
through the ether.
It Is true that the language employed
does not consist o f the words o f any
spoken tongue, but It Is one that can
be directly translated Into any other
known to dmd . and so It Is the most
universal o f all touguagsa.
Now. let us see bow it Is employed.
Ktnrt as to the electric “ mouth." When
a charge o f electricity is accumulated
on a "«-oudenser" a similar but oppo­
site charge is Induced upon another
condenser placed near. The air be­
tween them acts a a an Insulator be­
cause It is a poor conductor o f electric­
ity. * But when the charge attains a
certain degree o f intensity the strain
upon the air becomes too great, and a
spark paaeea between the two con­
densers. by which equilibrium la re­
stored between them
The passage o f this spark produces,
so to speak, a shock In the ether,
which, like the explosion o f a gun or
the utterance o f a sound.-seta up a se­
ries o f waves In the surrounding mo
dluin. which radiate away on all sides.
These wave« In the ether produce the
electric "voice." I f the sparks are reg­
ulated in uumber and frequency the
consequent waves are similarly regu
la ted An instrument for the produc­
tion o f aucb waves Is called an oscilla­
tor or exciter. It is a kind of vocal ap­
paratus for speaking through the ether
instead o f through the air.
But just as we should have no knowl­
edge o f the passage o f sound waves if
we were not provided with ears to hear
them, so the electric waves would go
unregarded If we bad no apparatus for
receiving them
The receiving apparatus to called a
resonator, or detector. It may be att­
ested hundreds o f miles from the os­
cillator. but It will catch the waves
aa they undulate to it through the
ether, and tt can be made to reproduce
them in an audible or legible form by
causing them to operate a Morse dot
and dash Instrument, as In ordinary
telegraphy by wire
But the electric voice and the elec­
tric ear are In some ways more man­
ageable than the human voice and ear.
W e can only produce and hear air
waves o f a limited range of frequency.
»rut we cannot do much to alter that
lim it
Bound waves vibrating less than
forty times a second or mors than 40.-
000 times are inaudible to us. But elec­
tric wavee varying in frequency from
a few hundred up to hundreds o f mil­
lions a second can ha rendered per­
ceptible. and It to also possible so to
construct the Instruments that they
will send forth and receive particular
ranges o f waves and be mute and
deaf to others
Then the distance over which the
electric waves can be detected is al­
most Infinitely greater than that o f
ordinary sound waves. It takes a
strong voiced man to make his voice
audible across a little river, but, as
everybody knows, the electric cry o f a
ship in distress can be electrically
beard from the middle o f the Atlantic
ocean. And there are enthusiasts who
predict that before very long we shall
be able to apeak by wirelaae to some*
other planet. If only there to eomebod.v

BIRTH OF T HE BRAND CANYON.
NatuiV. Mighty r .r M , That W rack«!
the Crust of the Earth.
"H ow do you explain it?" iaqairsd
one on meeting Sir John Murray, the
eminent English geologist and presi­
dent o f the Royal Geographical so­
ciety. referring to the Grand Canyon
o f the Colorado. This was Briefly tbs
answer, though not in hto words:
"On either aide o f the wide plain ex­
tending from sixty Jto a hundred miles
t o the right and toft o f the canyon
evidences o f severe volcanic action are
visible. In the center was a plateau,
but you now look down upon it ae the
vast chasm o f the canyon. Thrice the
volcanic forces o f nature, operating on
either side, violently and with tremen­
dous power, forced this plateau up­
ward. and finally in one cyclopic. tre­
mendous upheaval the plateau parted,
and the Grand canyon, the wonder and
mystery o f the world, was born.
"Im agine a loaf o f dough rising si­
lently under the continuous pressure
o f the yeast until finally the crust to
broken and the loaf divided Into two.
Then look at this broken crust o f
mother earth. In the early days a
vast area embracing a great portion o f
the Interior o f the American continent
was covered with water. It was a
great sea. All over the canyon fossil
oyster sheila proved this contention.
The Grand canyon opened; the waters
o f the Inland sea rushed through in a
tearing flood ang. carved the fantastic
forms yon now see."
The questioner further Inquired of
Sir John. "N o doubt this was all very
remote, in t h e . early ages o f the
world T*
"Oh. no." said Sir John. "Modern,

Your heart, i f it to qtaite sound,
