PAGE FOUR WAR INVENTIONS COMING TO LIGHT Many Interesting Achievements Are Now Being Made Publle. SEAL OF SILENCE BROKEN @ystem of S8ending and Recelving Wireless Telephone Messages at 8ame Time and a Barrage Re- celver Among Noveltles. New York.—As the seal pficed upon the activities of America’s inventors by the war is broken, news of many in- teresting achievements unknown to the public during the confiict are belng brought to light. A system of sending and receiving wireless telephore meg- sages at the same time, as s done in wire lines; a “barrage receiver,” which shuts out the scund of all wireless vi- bration except those which the opera- tor wishes to hear, and a system of rapid and accurate photography of wireless message became known to the public for the first time recently, al- though government naval stations have been experimenting with them for some tlme. Engineers of the General Electric company at Schenectady are responsi- ble for each of the inventions. Ernst F. W. Alexanderson, consulting en- glneer of the company, told of the de- velopment of the barrage receiver and wireless telephony ideas at a. meeting of the Institute of Radio Engineers at 290 West Thirty-ninth street recently. C. A. Hoxie of Schenectady, another Genera! Electric company engineer, Is the Inventor of the wireless photo- graphic apparatus. Sending and Receiving. Doctor Alexanderson told the engl- neers that obviousiy some system: of simultaneous sending and receiving would have to be Invented before wire- less telephony would ever become com- merclally practicable. Switching from one epparatus to another to send and receive would be annoying and delay- tng. For Instance, the user of the tele- phone on this side of the Atlantic says: “Hello” into the mouthplece. Then he has to switch to another apparatus to catch the answer from Europe. And perhaps his friend overseas Is doing the same thing, and the attempt at conversation develops Into a sort of hide-and-seek game. There was also the problem of bringing the wireless telephone to the home of the user. If one has to travel to Washington or New Brunswick to use the wireless tel- ephone It is scarcely a saver of {ime or money. Doctor Alexanderson has devised a celving antennae, the sending and re- celving statlous Interconnected by a wire line and further connected to the exchange of the local telephone sys- tem, so that all Mrs. Jones has to do when ‘she wants to find out what Mr. Jones is doing In Parls tonight is to g0 to her telephone and ask, not for toll operator, but for the wireless op- erator. he will connect her with Mr. Jones. The Barrage Receiver. The invention of the barrage re- ceiver came about as a result of the confuston into which the wireless ma- chinery was thrown during. the war. Through her powerful stations at Nan- gen and elsewhere Germany was mali- clously flooding the atmosphere with wireless “nolse” so that communica- tions bhetween France and England and America became very difficult. Germany was completely drowning out the voice of America's allies. The in- terallled conference in February, 1918, sought a way out of the difficulty, and appeals for a solution were brought to Doctor Alexanderson by Lieutenant Paternot of the French mission in this country. The solution, which was adopted by the French and American governments after its first demonstra- tion was called the “barrage receiver,” because the word “barrage” has the original meaning of stoppage preven- tion. The barrage receiver success- fulyl shut out the vibrations sent out from Germany with the object of de- stroylng the allied Intercommmnnica- tion. Tts principle ean be compared to that of an instrument which, if ap- plied to the ear, would silence the shrieking of a steam whistle ten yards away, while enabling the listener to hear perfectly the spoken word a hun- dred yards off. Aside from its war- time use the barrage recelver has ex: tensive possibilities for peacétime de- velopment. Through its us¢ the num- ber of communications thet may be carrled on without disturbing each other may be multiplied greatly. 'TWAS A COURTSHIP BY WIRE Delaware Operators Even Made Ar. rangements for the Wedding by Telegraph. Ellendale, Del.—Love over the wire resulted in the marriage of Miss Dena Veasey, telegraph operator at Ellen- dale, and Edward Rust, operator at Redden. The two were but seven mlles apart on the wire, and each, seeking a great- er proficiency, practiced sending mes- sages to the other in leisure moments. During all their courtship the two sent thelr messages back and forth over the wire, and finally when they decided to slip away to Wilming: ton to be married the arrangemeunts were made by wire : system of separate sending and re-! Made in Germany. Dr. Arthur Davis, who used be the kalser's dentist, is authority for the statement that the crown prince Is the most egotistical - person he ever met. As an-Instance of his concelt the dentist recounts an occur- rence In one of the palatial dugouts at the front where' captured cham- pagne had been flowing freely for some | time. “Your highness,” finally asked a young officer, “who is the greatest of all German generals?” “I am,” promptly retorted- the crown prince, “True, of- course,” said'the brother officer, “but ‘howcoutd-you really prove 1t? “I don’t have to,” retorted thecrown prince. “T merely say it, and it is go !"—Minneapolis Tribune. Convinging. J. A.-Strahan, the eminent-professor of jurisprudence, tells in his reminis- cences several good law storles. One of the best concerns a certain chancery judge who (writes Mr. Stra- han) was so notorious: for the brevity of his notes of evidence that, in a case which appeared to make an appesl probable, the partles agreed to have a shorthand ‘note of it. Later, the court of appeal, puzzled by his decision against the plaintift, whose uncontradicted evidence seemed convincing, sent for the judge’s note toping it would enlightea them. It did. It consisted of 4 vigorous drawing of an oily-faced, evil-looking person. Above was written The Plain« tiff, and below it And a —— lar.~ Pearson's Weekly.
