As the shares ore among the most , profitable and the safest investments In i the world they have become the property • of small Investors such as farmers, mechanics and clerks and It is an interesting i lact mat one-third of the farmers In the lake counties of Ohio have money Inveet- . ed in lake shipping. Of all the needs of Great Relies ships : and shippers the greatest Is for an ade- ■ quate and reliable means of oommunicat tlon from ship to chip and froau ship to i shore. It Is to meet tMa demand that ■ hundreds of artisans and mechanics now I are engaged In the construction of wlre- , less telephone stations along the shores , of . .the Lakes and in installing lnstrn- ; menu on the Lake vessels. No sooner bad the wireless telephone I become a commercial practicability, i through the perfected inventions of Dr. i de Forest, who previously had won , distinction In the wireless telegraph field, than lu adaptation became a matter of greatest concern to the Whipping interests of the lakes. When the De Forest system wse installed and successfully 1 tested by the United States Navy with 1 the renin that Admiral Evans was able ' to be In constant vocal connmmleatlon with all the officers and Whips of the . great Pacific fleet on 1U cruise from Hampton Roads through the Stralu or Magellan and thence to San Francisco, there came insistent demands for an adequate wireless telephone system for the

lakes. Although the American Nary was the first to utilize wireless telephony, it since has been Installed on many of the rhips of the Italian Navy, while the navy of Great Britain Is following thfi same course with all possible speed. What Wireless Telephony Has Done. Already, from the station which the De Forest people Installed at the top of the Elfrei Tower In Parts, tests have been made which carried the human voice clear and distinct to beyond I Marseilles. GOO miles away. In this country I successful tests have been made for a I distance of 150 miles, but when the new D station Is completed in the fifty-second I story of the huge Metropolitan Life I campanile In this city, it Is confidently | expected by the wireless telephone exI perU that they can project the voice I much further than at the Paris tests. In I fact, the Inventor, de Forest, has de- ' I clarod that within a short lime he win be I able to send messages between these tw® ' I greatest stations so that the voice spoken il w^s laughed at as being nothing more than a clever toy. and that Prof. Alex- ' | an^er ^r*h*™t^f: a n*arty n'or® hl* heart t small test line fhr three miles from Rost i to SomervllV.^the suggestion of wireless f to be ^considered as a smile-provoking ' - telephone lt Urea l-- h18 LTn o'n iToun^d ! by the Oreot Likes Radio Telephone Com- ' l»ny.«f Cleveland, whh-h controls the De _ Forest s-. Ttem for foe territory in question, that It will work In conjunction with all the < Bell or Independent. By* a simple conoonaected with the wireless system at a any of the letter's central stations so e that a person located at a regular long

ilstance telephone In New York, fcr Instance. can be connected through a wlren less station at Cleveland and hold conIs vernations with a business associate travy e'.ing as a passenger on a steamer out l- In the middle of Lake Erie. Each central wireless station will have • lu apparatus attuned to a certain numg tier of vibrations on the principle of a il tuning fork. The attuning of an Inn slniment can _be changed by a switch. 0 Just as the patchboard of a central wire station can be regulated by the insertion y of rings. In this way when a Lake k steamer, for Instance, desires to take with y Cleveland, lu operator will throw the • switch to the number of vibrations called • tor by Cleveland. When the wire lnstni- ^ meat on the steamer Is In repose. It will " STnP back to a certain specific number of ' vibrations so that 1t can be reached by •ny central station -calling lu number, _ or- by means of an Aerophone automatic signalling device, can be reached by any e station sending out storm signals in darkness or fag. In tMs way each Instrument can be so regtflated that lt can either take up genera! calls from any direction or only specific calls for it® ' own number, as might be desired.. > Ko Franchises Are Required. r One of the advantages of the wireless j - telephone is that lt does not require a i c franchise right to operate or a right of - . way from any government, etate or mun- ] Icipalltyr it talks through the air and Is » the only known method of vocal Inter- i , ship communication or of talking from i . shtp to chore. In case of fog or storm 1 1 the sound of the human voice, projected 1 . by this means. Is as clear and distinct as t f at any other time and the Invention is I - therefore peculiarly adapted for safety i t signals and life-saving service. A distinct c r advantage of the wireless 'phone over the s l Wire -phone Is that the buzz of the wire al- t s ways is absent. As any ship's officer > i can talk by wireless 'phone as readily , s as by wire -phone on Shore, ail expense ! i of an export operator Is eliminated and ? r '.he apparatus Is placed within the reach 1 , of "the most modest boat afloat. i The antennae wl-ee of the apparatus C t are rtrong to the masthead of the ship by C

j means of hempen rope, and are braced It apart by a needle or spar of wood. The « wireless telephone. Just as the wireless y telegraph, depends upon the projection of • electric waves that pass through the atmosphere, and solid substances as we!!, with the velocity of light. which Is 1 80,000 miles a second or more than seven times 9 the circumference of the globe. t The mechanical principles upon which g the wireless telephone depend teem to _ be simple enough, although there Is a j great difference of opinion as to the act - v ual explanation of the phenomena of t wireless telephony. Speech Is the forma- , tioo of very rapid complex and ever-vary-s Ing series of vibrations of the elr and t their measurement by the nerves of the f ear. Owing to the resistance of the at- . mosphere. these vibrations grow weaker , and at last disappear as we get further from the source of disturbance. Tele- . plrony Is the art of translating these t vibrations of the air Into vibrations of , ether whose lesser resistance enables t them to l>o carried to great distances for translation into air vibrations again, as only the air vibrations can be measured t by the ear. In the wireless telephone the air waves are translated Into th» ; vibration of an eleotrical discharge which oscillates the ether. One exceptionally valuable feature of the wireless telephone, which the Unite.! States Government Is utilizing as rapidly as possible. Is Its adaptability to thef lighthouse and lightship service. Because shore to a lighthouse or a lightship than It would ost to talk between two blocks of a congested city district, and the lighthouse keeper sr lightship people need have no expert training In order to operate the apparatus. Government Shows Its Appreciation. At every turn the Government has -£■ "■ appreciation of the Invention. stalled on the thirty odd battleships. 1 " " - oou Daruesnjps.

t cruisers and torpedo-boat destroyers of - the Pacific fleet before they started on . their voyage around the world, has also . been Installed at Fortress Monroe, Mare . Island and other army posts, t Still another feature of the Invention. or rather the benefit that may be derived , from It, Is for the supplying of music . and other forms of entertainment to l passengers traveling on the passenger . vessels. A service of this kind, aided by a huge receiver so that all of the paasen- , Sera gathered In a large as Ion could hear , the music or operatic airs ilmultanei °usly. should prove a most welcome , Innovation for steamship travelers. It is s within the range of possibilities, at an , early date, that the traveler by Great , Lakes s'eamer may be able to spend his \ evenings listening to the voices of Caruso , or Melba simultaneously with the audlen- , ces who see the singers In person at Covent Garden. London, or the Metro- . poll tan or Manhattan Opera Houses In I New York. ^ Ylth the. first great long distance , wireless station n earing completion at Toledo, with twenty-five other long dls- . tance stations already contracted for l construction along the lake front, with work going ahead on seventy-five smaller shore stations and with fifty odd more already projected, there Is reason to expect that, by the time Great Lakes navl- ; gallon opens In the Spring for the season of 1*09,. tha wireless telephone system will be In full operation on the Great with nearly 200 stations in use.

The methods of this great corporation may be inferred from the following: Copy of Cablegram from London office at time of Chicago fire, 1871. "Settle all losses promptly. Draw at three days sight Subscribe $5,000.00 for sufferers." Again on the morning following the San Francisco earthquake of April 18, 1906, the United States manager received the following cablegram from the bead office: / "Draw on London in payment of recognized claims. Subscribe five . '
