Show A VIRELESS MESSAGE. Tho plaything of four years ago is dio life-saver ' of today. Out on tho bosom of old ocean, where man and his mightiest works seem so frail, and,: where In storm and In fog, the ship sails beyond the range of watchful cyoB on shore, thero a click of an Instrument, In-strument, which cannot bo heard a6ovo tho roar of the tempest, ascends to heaven and Is carried on the wings of cherublne to distant shores. When we read of the "wireless" message from the sinking ship Republic, Repub-lic, wo are no longer skeptical about tho prophets of old hearing voices from on high. Tho happenlngB of today, which havo become commonplace, explain ex-plain some of the mysteries of the centuries gone by, and cause us to speculate on what the future will bring forth. What to us Is now looked upon as being beyond the natural and attainable may bo tho commonplace of tomorrow. Old Geronlmo, when he was captur-I captur-I ed near the border line of Old Mexico, j was so over-awed by the ability of tho i government troops to receive and j convey hellographlc messages that ho j exclaimed, "No moro fight The bad I spirits are with the whlteman!" That which Gerontmo failed to understand, I we clearly comprehend, but thero are 1 mysteries as fathomless to us which may yet be explained, when man, in the full fruition of his Intellect, grasps j the extent and power of the subtle forces of nature. |
