J. Nally, president of the company, who returned a few days ago from conferences in Europe at which a working agreement was reached among tbe great wireless companies at. England, France, Germany and America. From any part of the United States wireless messages may be relayed speedily to Buenos Aires, South Africa, Java, Calcutta or Melbourne, when the radio building programs of the great American and European countries are completed. At present France has the moat powerful station In the world in the American-built Lafayette towers near Bordeaux, but this will be superseded by the end of this year by the Port Jefferson station of the Radio corporation, which will be tbe most powerful station in the world. Tbe station under construction at Ste. Assise, near Paris, will bo second. The British wlreleaa chain connect-. Ing England with the empire will hare one station comparatively close to Argentina, and that will be the station at Bathnrst, in Gambia, on tbe extreme western point of Africa, where tbe continents of Africa and South America make their closest approach. "The stations of the Radio corporation, in Cuba and Colombia are practically completed," said Mr. Nolly, "and are watting on the completion of all the towers at Port Jefferson before going Into service. That will take place In December. Belaying from New York to Cuba, to Bogota and then to Buenos Aires will be possible, but will be used only as an auxiliary system. When the Buenos Aires plant is completed next summer it will send to and receive from the Port Jefferson station direct." All of the great systems will use different wave lengths and avoid interference, according to the agreement reached at the conference abroad, for the use of similar wave lengths would reduce to confusion high-power wireless communication all over the world. The British colonial chain of wireless stations Is described as follows by L. W. Austin, head of the United States Badio Research Laboratory, in a communication to The Journal of the Franklin Instltnte: "Unlike the plans for communicating over vast distances by meany of huge stations, the imperial committee, headed by 81r Henry Norman, has recommended that stations of only moderate power be used, spaced at distances of not more than 2,000 nautical miles, the Intermediate stations acting as relays for the more distant. "There have been heated discussions ha England regarding the relative merits of the high-power, long-distance transmission systems in comparison With the moderate power, intermediate relay systems. There can be 110 doubt that the system of Intermediate stations will give by far the most reliable communication, largely on account of the small variability of signal intensity at shorter distances. And probably ffr government purposes, where re- Jlpbtyity la of more importance than volnme of traffic carded the system is superior. "The plans of France for extremely long distance communication are centered around the huge transmitting station now being completed at Ste. Assise, between Fontalttbleau and Paris. This station Is expected by its promoters to •communicate with Saig «m, ladnOtfaa, 5,500 nautical miles; Beanos Aires, 5,950 miles, and, of coOTM-'many nearer points." BMiastd is bttgdlag ene station at home and one in Java for comstwieating a distance of 6,100 miles, nlakoat entirely overland. On the question whether radio is likely to replace the cable is transoceanic communication in the near future. Mr. Austin said: "Frankly, I do not believe It Will, and if it should it will be because the atmospheric disturbances have been rractlcally eliminated. But even now there are certain classes of traffic which can be sen* by radio much more economically and quite as satisfactorily where delays of a few hours arc not objectionable. Continuous twentyfour hour service is, of course, already possible where distances are moderate. Here automatic high-speed reception is making radio a formidable rival of the wire and cable lines." " li at Brussels Brussels.--The striking Idea of building an "International city" at the gates of Brussels, which was first proposed to King Albert of the Belgians la 1913, has been revived and It is now proposed to erect the city and Inaugurate It at the same time as the Brussels international exposition in 1930. It Is Intended that the International city shall be a permanent institution, where every country will have a building In which It will display not only its manufactures and products bat examples ol its art and records of its social progress. These plans were first submitted to King Albert in 1913 by Hendrlck C. Anderson, an American sculptor, formerly of Newport, R. 1., who then was living In Rome. Mr. Anderson was aided In preparing his plans for the ideal city by Senator Henri La Fontaine tnd Pflul Otlet.

MMY AWAITING DtSMMTUti Philadelphia, Birthplace of Muiy Vessels, Also to Be "Graveyard" /yr^fiflavjr'e Fighting Ships That . ' ^'^hsve Become Obsolete. Philadelphia.--A new industryscrapping of old warships--has sprung up along the Delaware river, where not so long ago more than 100,000 men were working feverishly to help build a "bridge of ships" across the Atlantic to check the progress of Germany in the World war. Philadelplifa, the birthplace of many of the vessels, also Is to be the "graveyard" of a number of the navy's fighting craft, discarded because they have become obsolete. Later, when the scrapping program of the arms conference becomes effective, many more ships will be added to the list. Hundreds of met. are engaged In turning the steel from the discarded ships Into materials for the construction of buildings, tools, locomotives, automobiles and other peace-time uses. In one Delaware river shipyard alone therf are awaiting dismantling the battleships Maine, Missouri and Wisconsin, the once proud first-class cruiser Columbia, the monitors Ozark, Monterey and Tono: ah and countless destroyers, Eagle boats and smaller craft. Powerful oxyacetytene torches wielded by masked workmen are being used to cut through the 11-inch steel turret armor of the Maine, while a 125-ton crane was used to take out its 12-inch guns. Further along the yard little obsolete submarines with paper thickness shells are being ripped apart with prosaic chisels to the accompaniment of the gatling gunlike staccato of compressed air hammers. The monitor Monterey, an improved edition of Ericsson's gallant Monitor of Civil war fame, with its surface flush deck, rapidly Is being converted into billets. Its 10 and 12-inch rifles, however, still appear menacingly through the tun rets of its squatty superstructure aa they did in the early "90s (when the vessel was one of the most powerful battle craft afloat* "Grandfather" ef Submarined. A little submarln •, A-l Plunger, "grandfather" of the modern submarine cruiser S-41, Is awaiting scrapping. Creature of the brain of J. P. Holland, the early trials Jf the A-l were the subject of almost as touch ridicule and scoffing as marked the first efforts of Robert Fulton and his steamboat on the Hudson river. The most precious "junk" obtained from the ships is the copper, gna metal, navy brass, manganese bronze, lead and sine. Complete destruction is not necessary in the case of all the craft. The hulls of some of the torpedo boats will undergo a transformation to adapt them to peaceful pursuits. This already has been done with the destroyers Truxton, Worden and Whipple, which will ply between the United States and Central America carrying cargoes of fruit. Engined with kerosene oil burners, they will be lnrge cargo carriers and of such light draft that they can navigate shallow rivers on hl^h tide nnd lay off plantations for loading, thereby eliminating, lighterage cost. Their clean lines give them great speed, which makes unnecessary the expensive refrigerating system used in fruit boatSi Hooch 8prlnMed nn fctreif!^ Louisville, Ky.--When the village water cart failed to appear on time at Beuttyville, Ky., Police Judge H.

"There was a mutual attraction, bat I didn't think Henry loved me." She kissed her youthful husband. Van Heel, who is a native of Holland, has the appearance of a college youth. He has a fair complexion, light hair and mustache of the hoe sometimes termed "pink." His bride speaks of him as a boy. Mrs. Van Heel said that Van Heel's singing was one of the things that attracted her to him. "He sings Dutch and German ballads," she said. "He had been m the United States before and had returned just before the time we met," she remarked.

A little while ago she changed her mind and attempted to get out of bed and walk. But she found she was paralysed from her waist down. Mrs. Wickham was a young wife when she' went to bed. She is a white-haired woman now. She is rich, but she gets'ltttte enjoyment from her money. How Mrs. Wickham retired to her bed to remain the rest of her life Is an odd story. One morning she was cutting bacon for her breakfast. She and her father-in-law were quarreling. Old Man Wickham made some remark she resented. She laid down her butcher knife and started for the door. •"Where are you going?" her husband asked. Tn going to bed, and Fm never, never, never going to get up again," answered the wlf > as she walked lata her room and sla nmed the door. She stayed in bed all that day.

So were the fourth and tha fifth and the sixth. "She'll get over ltT" said the neighbors when they heard of what was going on over at the Wickham farm. Years of Reading. lira.
