May Fight by Wireless
Says German Expert
Berlin, July 31.—A teacher of Nuremberg, Christopher Wirth, has
given to the world an invention which may considerably alter the
aspect ot future warfare by rendering dreadnaughts obsolete and gun
boats useless.
The new war vessel, whether for air or water, will be crewless—a
mere machine of destruction of life and property—while the operator is
miles away conducting a batttle by means of buttons and levers.
The inventor recently gave a practical demonstration before a
special committee of the German navy league (Floltenverein) in a
secluded part of the Wansee, a lake near Berlin. The system employed
is very similar to that used in wireless telegraphy.
The first experiments took place in a building where the inventoi
went into a room surrounded by thick walls and passed his electric
waves through the wall, exploding miniature mines on the other side
in order selected by his visitors. Me also fired off a revolver and
started and stopped an elect!ic motor and a steam eugiue by the same
means.
On the lake he worked a specially marked boat from the land,
steering it in all directions without visible connection, fired off guns
which were on board and exploding sunken and floating mines in the
water.
The unmanned motorboat was then steered through a labyrinth of
small boats, the gear was reversed and she returned to her original
position. Bengal lights and fireworks were also ignited by wireless
waves, and only in the order desired.
The wave currents were transmitted and received through antennae
in a very similar manner to that used in connection with receivers and
transmitters in wireless telegraphy. Each transmitter must be
“attuned’’ to the receiver before the current operates.
The inventor has also applied his apparatus to balloons and flying
machines. An aeroplane with electric motor can be steered from land
in all directions and can be made to drop bombs when required.
What is not explained is what would happen if an opposing
electric wave could be got into tune and directed in an opposite
direction.
Death Valley Scotty
With New Bank Roil
Goldfield, Nev., July 31.—Death Valley Scotty, press agent for .
this mining region, who posing as a mysterious stranger, has startled |
every large city in the United States by his eccentricities and wild ex I
peuditures of money, has turned up in Goldfield with his pockets
bulging with greenbacks.
I hree months ago he was in Reno dead broke. Today be dis
played $n,ooo in currency, and promised to reveal the location of his
fabulous wealth after August i.
Scotty says he intends making one more spectacular whirlwind
dash across the continent in a special train, After that he will settle
down.
‘‘I have shot more champagne corks into the oil than all the bul
lets fired in the Mexican war, and the education has been expensive,”
he said, “I have learned enough, and now I am going to look out for
Scotty.”
Lost His Money, Wife and dob
Stockton, Cal., July 31.—William V. Hearn, who recently left a
local department store to accept a position as buyer in the fancy dry
goods department of a store in San Francisco, claims the title of hard
luck champion and may make a demand for a medal or belt.
Hearn is said to have left Stockton today after discovering that
Saturday night the young lady he was to wed in the fall had departed
for Los Angeles and her friends say she has been married by this time
It is repoated that Hearn had given his intended bride money to pro
vide herself with a fine wedding outfit. In addition to losing a wife, it
is alleged Hearn has lost his job in San Francisco owing to the leaving
without notification.
