In the coming tour it is proposed to

mobile. It depends upon well-known
natural laws, which are very simple
in their operation. When a pebble is
dropped into a pool of water waves
are sent in a circle, very strong at
first and growing less and less until
there is no disturbance at all. The
sending of a wireless message is fun-
damentally the same thing only in-
stead of using water for the medium
for these waves, the impalpable ether,

Dn DeForest announced the new
sparkless wireless and to-day it is in
use on ships and automobiles and
carries on the business of the na-
tion's greatest wireless stations at
New York, Philadelphia, Washington,
Albany, Detroit, Cleveland. Chicago,
Toledo and Milwaukee. What the
future will bring forth no man can
say, but that its realities will exceed
our fondest fancies seems certain.
TRAINING WIRELESS
OPERATORS.
No longer will the wireless amateur
have to enlist in the navy to get the ex-
perience and technical knowledge neces-
sary to become the Jack Binns of the
future. News come- from New \ork
that some of the leading wireless engi-
neers have opened there a thoroughly
equipped wireless school where would-be
Marconis may secure a training in all the
elements of the art of communication.
Many of the wireless companies have
contributed apparatus, drawings and text
books, until the new American Wireless
Institute, as the school is called, can now
boast a more detailed equipment than
the laboratories of most of the engineers
of the big wireless companies. The need
of new blood in the development of
wireless should provide a splendid future
to many of the youngsters now in the
field.

THE RAILWAY PROBLEM.
The railroads have proved the making
of our nation. They have opened the
road for the advance of civilization into
the' most inaccessible corners of our
land. But, at last, the consequent growth
of the country has outstripped the abil-
ity of the railroads to handle the busi-
ness that they have fostered into such
mighty beiWg, with the result that, to-
day, railroad facilities which increase
only about 3 per cent, a year are forced
to haul a load that increases nearly 15
per cent, each year. I
They are trying to keep up with the
procession by cutting down grades and!
straightening curves, but have gone^
about as far as possible m that direction-
The only solution is to increase tbe.
speed with which all business is handled,]
an impossibility with the present type of
road bed and rolling stock.
Engineers now agree that a non-de-'
railable monorail system, obtaining trac-
tion by pneumatic pressure and the ap-
plication of power direct from the
motors, with underhanging guide wheels
for stability, and an elevated concrete
roadway, doing away with present costly
graded roadbeds, offers a practical
method for bringing about the needed
revolution in railroading.
