WIRELESS EY
IS THE LATEST!
San Francisco, Nov. 14— If the '
“wireless eye” does what M. C. Blum
says it will do,navigation is on the eve
! of just such another Revolution as it |
experienced with the discovery of the
wireless telegraph, in the opinion of J
seafaring men who have examined the i
“eye” with which the inventor, S. Spitz
is experimenting at Vallejo. Blum >
and W. E. Rode are financing the
0
invention and have taken out twenty
seven patents on it. The instrument,
which works only at night, reflects
on a mirror a moving picture of every
thing within a radius of several miles.
It receives its impression from webs of
wires erected on a tall mast. It is use
less by daylight however, for the rea
son that the wires register only the
“stygian rays.” “The navigator of a
ship so equipped could see on the dark
est night the surface of the ocean all
about him,” said Blum. “He could
observe other ships approach or the
proximity of rocks, shoals or icebergs.
A. coast guard could see an enemy’s
scouts approaching long before the
scouts had found what they were seek
ing. During a recent test at Vallejo,
the observers saw in the mirror the
ships on the river, the railroad trains
passing up and down the valley, peo
ple walking about and even the sen
tries pacing their beats on the island.”
Spitz was formerly a wireless expert
on Mare island. ’

SCANTY ATTIRE
CROCKS CHIEF
Greeley, Colo.—FT. M. Logan, the
chief of police of this town, has begun
a crusade to com he 1 the Greeley
women wear what be considers a
proper amount of clothing.
Miss Louis de Kazzen’s latest model
of Paris stvles, which attracted much
attention in the evening promenade,
caused M»\ Logan to tap her on shoul
der and say:
“ Young lady, you run home and put
on more clot lies.”
“Sir. this is the very latest gown
obtainable,” she replied.
“That may be true, but there is not
enough of it.”
“It reaches to ray ankles, as you see.”
“Yes, but there’s nothing under it.
You would be more modest in silk
tights. Run along, now. we don’t want
any ‘September Morns’ in Greeley.”
Mr, Logan saw that she obeyed and
he said that he proposed to see that the
women wear sufficient underclothing in
the future to minimize their fine points.
“It’s getting worse and worse,” he
said, indignantly, “I’m not boosting
any lingerie manufacturers, either,but
they can’t walk these streets tightly
wrapped in a silk handerchief and a
haughty stare. Some of tnem don’t
even wear a corset because it takes up
too much room, while the large ones,
who use a windless to lace and wind
themselves into the stright up and
down stays, bulge out at the top and
bottom like a charlotte russe running
over.
“I’ll bet a horse chestnut that the
girl 1 sent home didn’t have a pint of
clothes on her. Yes, sir, a pint. That’s
the way to measure them. You could
have wadded that latest creation into a
pint or a half-pint measure. Besides
that, you could see through it, I know,
because—well I know.”
