THE WIRELESS SIGNAL OF DISTRESS.
The recent disasters to linors, and the rescue only the other day of the Kentucky liner by the Alema, bring very prominently in view the fant that had not these boats been fitted with wireless telegraphy, the whole of the passengers and crew would in all probability have perished. These cases have drawn the attention of the “ man in the street ” to the wonders of wireless telegropby, and have caused him to ponder on what it all means, and how such wonderful results are achieved. Too often it is all takon for granted, that it is possible, that it has been done. A few travellers have sech the opera tor's cabin, have conversed with the man in control of the forces used in this wonderful invention, but how few know or understand anything of the principles involved, of the un- tiring energy and brains lavishly spent open bringing the science to perftotion. Most people know that the waves are due to sicetzivity, that marvellous force which no man can define, but which by mon's ingennity has been tamed, subdued, and brought into his service, Waves they are na minch as the waves that bent upon our ahores, but travelling through space at an incredible speed; waves so intangible that only the most delicate ani sunsitive instruments can detoot their presence,

Four Jews are members of the House of Lords-Lord Michelham, Lord Rothschild, Lord Swaything, and Lord Wandsworth. There are eleven Jewish baronets.

The net regulations for the use of wireless operators now lay down what might be called 8.0.8. for In distress." It is n combination of Morse characters, and con sists of three shorts, three longe, and three shorts. When that signal is heard, all other mossages must cease, and the call instantly answered. All modern detectors of wireless waves depend upon the telephone receiver for the conveyance of the signals to the brain. The telephone is so extrememely sensitive to feoble electrical differences of pressure that its das is, almost universal. Two receivers are generally used, connected by flexible metal bands passing brer the head to enable tho operator to have both hands free. The Morse code, used in ordinary land telegraphy, is also used in wireless, and has been made international.
