The Circuit Court of Appeals reverses the judgment o f the lower court, which was in favor o f the insurance company. The higher court decides that the earthquake was not the proximate cause o f a tire which occurred after the earthquake shock, practically holding that an earthquake cannot cause a fire directly and that for an earthquake to be the indirect cause of a fire the blaze must follow immediately upon the quake. The Appellate court also decided an other very important point, which is that a fire following upon an explosion, such as one caused by dynamit.ng, is covered by the terms o f the insurance policy.

U n itin g F ra n c e and A m e ric a by W ir e Chicago, May 11.— Leaders o f fra ternal insurance societies have discov ered a joker in house bill No. 552, now ready for a third reading in the Illinois legislature, which, if passed, will develop a billion-dollar insurance combine with power to force smaller concerns and fraternal orders out of the insurance business. The bill in question contains a clause which provides that any insurance com pany doing business in Illinois may is sue policies with special rates o f pre mium less than the usual rates to members of labor unions, lodges and other organizations who, through an officer, may take out insurance o f not less than.,100 members. In this proviso fraternal men see pos sibilities of a great insurance corpora tion, which, by cutting rates, would utterly annihilate competition of small er and fraternal concerns. It was on ly by accident that the attention of fraternal men was drawn to the joker. A strong lobby w ill be sent to Spring- field to fight it. “ Hello, Paris! This is New York.” To start a conversation like this serosa the universe seems like an achievement beyond the dream o f a Jules Verne or the imaginative picture of a Bellamy Storcr, yet in the busiest city of the world, New York, such an experiment will take place shortly, with every assurance o f success. On this occasion, when scisnce announces its triun p i to the world, society of the nations will oiler its congratulations in a unique and unrivaled manner, and will feature on its social calendar a U ncheon at which Frederick Townsend Mart.n will prtside, 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 lunchc n is being served a voice will speak uniting two o f the greatest nations of history. It will be the voice o f America’s most prominent society man reading a message of Pres- dent Taft to Fre.-iderit Fallieres of France. It will he transmitted to Mrs. Nora Blateh D eforest 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 be Mr. Frederick Townsend Martin who w i'1 ho 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 o f France, representing the French government and one of its guests o f 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. A t one end will he 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 Bhore 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 he wireless messages sent from the Ritz Carleton in France to the guests a.sempled 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 w ill 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 o f this wireless luncheon who will be separated by an ocean, yet able to converse as if face to face. The value o f 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 o f 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 o f completion. This will be ab solutely the finest wireless station in the world. Its cost is not comparable to that o f other equipments, as the sta tion comprises all sorts o f 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, w ill be neglig ible. The workings o f 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 o f opinion upon the actual explanation o f the phenome non o f wireless telephony. Speech is the forming o f very rapid and every- varying seriea o f vibrations in the air, and their measurement by the nerves o f the ear. Owing to the resistance o f the atmosphere, these vibrations grow weaker and at last disappear as we get farther from the source of disturbance. Telephony is the art o f translating these vibrations into vibrations of ether whose lesser resistance enables them to be carried to great distances for the translation into air vibrations again, as only the air vibrations can be meas ured by the ear. In the wireless tele phone the air waves are translated into '.he vibrations of an electrical discharge vhich oscillates the ether. The ether waves, sent out by trans- nitting station, having been there modified by the human voice, are changed back at the receiving atation 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 o f the speaker are heard ex actly as spoken.

Cincinnati, May 11.— The excavation for the building o f St. Francis’ church in Dayton, Ky., a suburb, is being watched by many who believe that a pot of gold was buried under that site after the raid by General John Hunt Morgan and his band o f Confederates near the close of the Civil war. The property belonged to the late Mathew McArthur, a noted Southern sympathizer. There was a subterra nean passage leading from the house, and it is here, the passage having long since been filled up, that the treasure is supposed to be. The money was left, it was said, by a Confederate named Caldwell, who had been North to pay the troops of General Morgan, then located in this vicinity. He stopped at the McArthur T A F T W IL L P R E S S B U T T O N . residence, and, his presence being dis closed, secreted the gold, said to T o O p e n G u nnison T u n n e l a t T r a n s - amount to several thousand dollars, and escaped, intending to join General M is s is s ip p i C o n g re s s .

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 tn 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 sent 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 Feveral o f 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 o f civil engineering. She was the first and only woman to graduate from an Eastern college in this profession. A fter her graduation honors were heaped upon her until she stood before the world as its foremost woman hydraulic engineer, and a re markable example o f woman’s intel lectual equality with man. She was the first woman ever elect ed to membership in the American So ciety of Civil Engineers. She helped to build the greatest water works sys tem in the world’s history, being on the engineering staff charged with the building of the $161,000,000 Catskill system. In June, 1907, she was elect ed fellow o f Cornell university, an honor rarely conferred upon women. While at Cornell Bhe proved herself to be the peer of any o f the male athletes. She is a leader in the equal rights movement and various movements de signed to improve the social condition o f all women. And now she further distinguishes herself by being the first woman to engage in wireless telephony.
