Another wail of anguish from educa-

BOWSER, HE GETS IT.
He Is to Astonish the World With a
Tin Horn.
Mr. Bowser had got it.
Mrs. Bowser knew it the moment he
entered the house.
Was it a new fire-escape?
Was it a new milch cow?
Was it chickens or a flying machine?
She held her breath and waited but he
said there would be nothing doing
until after dinner, and there was noth
ing for her but to prepare herself for
the best or worst.
Mr. Bowser was ponderously gay
over the meal, but it was finished at
last, and when they had ascended to
the sitting room he produced a tin
horn and Began:
"A woman doesn't know much, of
course just enough to enable her to
dodge a cable car or a butcher cart,
but perhaps you have heard of the
new idea in science wireless tele
graphy?" "I have seen it mentioned in the pa
pers," stiffly replied Mrs. Bowser.
"Then you know what the idea is. It
is to telegraph without wires, or by
sound waves of the human voice. The
human voice, as I may explain to you,
does not issue from the throat like a
piece of turnip, but in waves following
each other so closely that it is hard to
detect the intervals between them.
For instance, my voice as I now speak
to you seems to string out like a rope,
doesn't it?"
"Yes; I was Just thinking how much
it resembled an old clothesline."
"Thanks! Ignorance always tries to
hide behind sarcasm. However, there
are scores of breaks or intervals in my
voice Just the same, only your ears
don't detect them."
"And what if they don't?"
"Ah,' there is the key to the whole
thing. Two or three people are work
ing at it, but they have Just n.issed
it as yet. They don't go on the right
principle. They forget that the last
sound or wave must be heavy to drive
the other wave before it to a distance."
"And so some one has started you off
on that fad?' She queried as he bal
anced himself on his heels and looked
down upon her In a pitying, patronizing
way.
"Call It what you will, Mrs. Bowser
fad, discovery or tomfoolery but I
have solved the problem for the world,
and the name of Bowser has been
placed above those of Edison and Tesla.
Tes, ma'am, idiot as I am, I have given
the world a wireless telegraph at last."
"How did you do it?" she asked, be
coming interested in spite of herself
and thinking there might probably be
something to it after all.
"Simplest thing in the world. I
shout a message and then use this
horn and a last word to overtake the
other words and hump them along.
It is like sending a big rock rolling
down hill after smaller ones. If you
can be half-way decent for the next
half hour I will show you a few things
to make your hair curl. In all the ex
periments thus far made the operators
at each end of the route have had to
use different devices. Observe that I
use nothing of the kind. I simply face
in a certain direction and set the
sound-waves rolling. We will suppose
that I am in New York and the cook
downstairs is in London. I want to
communicate a message to her
through the receiving operator. I
open the stair door so. That gives
my voice a chance. I will now set the
sound-waves going by crying out at
the top of my voice:
" 'Hello there, Bridget O'Hallahan!"
"That is what may be called the

driving-wave, to clear the track, and
I follow it with:
" 'Your mother died at 6 o'clock
this afternoon.'
That s the message, and I now
drive It along by shouting at the top
of my voice:
" 'And I'm glad of it!'
"There is the whole thing, you see.
blandly explained Mr. Bowser as he
turned around, "and we shall hear
from Bridget soon. She jumped from
her chair. She rushed across the
kitchen. She is on the stairs. Now she
appears!"
So she did. She appeared with a
dish in one hand and a cloth in the
other, and -she was pale-faced and her
eyes were rolling.
"Who called me?" she demanded,
looking from one to the other.
"Do you see?" asked Mr. Bowser as
he turned to his wife.
wmo cxi.e.o ns.? i-t.
"Who called and said that my moth
er died at 5 o'clock?" shouted Bridget
as she waved both dish and cloth.
"My dear woman, did you ever hear
of wireless telegraphy?" soothingly
asked Mr. . Bowser as he laid a hand
her arm.
'Never, sir. and if it was you that
said my poor mother was dead and
you were glad of it I'm out of this
house in two minutes! I have never
lived in the family of a villain yet.
and with the help of heaven I never
will."
He spent 15 minutes trying to ex
plain the affair to her, and she finally
decided to hang on for a day or two
longer. When she had retired to her
domain Mr. Bowser consoled himself
by saying:
"I ought to have remembered that
she didn't know putty from pepper.
You must admit that my system is a
success, however."
"Yes, your yell could have been
heard a block away,," replied Mrs.
Bowser, "but I don't consider it a real
test at all. You'd have to have a roar
like 40 bulls to drive the sound waves
10 or 15 miles."
"That shows all you know about
it. How far is It from our back door
to the rear of the flat fronting the
next street?"
"A hundred feet, maybe."
"Well, I know a man named Jones
on the third floor. I'll go down Into
the yard and send him a message.
and you'll hear no 40 bulls voices about
It."
Three minutes later Mr. Bowser had

reached his station. In a vol on hardly
above a whisper he sent his clear-the-track
wave ahead by calling:
"Jones! Jones! Ah. there, Jones! Say.
Jones, do you hear me?"
If Jones did, there were no signs of
it, but Mr. Bowser went on with ths
message:
"Tell Jones that I know where he
was last night, but I'll keep mum
about it."
Then he lifted his voice a trifle for
the driving-wave, and the whole thins
was supposed to be rolling in on Jones
through wall or window when an old
tin pail struck Mr. .dowser In the
stomach, a piece if coal found a rest
ing place on his chin, and bottles and
cans hit all around him and voices
cried out:
"Peg him agin! It's old Bowser out
throwing poison to our cats and dogs!"
"Come Into the house with your tin
horn foolery If you don't want to be
killed dead!" shouted the cook as she
reached outdoors for him, and Mr.
Bowser felt the wind of an old demi
john as he backed Into a place of safe
ty. The woman squared off with her
hands on her hips and - began about
her dead mother anew, but Mr. Bow
ser passed up stairs without a word.
Mrs. Bowser sat reading and trying to
look unconcerned, but he marched up
to her and shouted:
"Woman, this Is your 'revenge, but
don't chuckle too soon! Instead of dis
couraging me you have made me
desperate man!"
"Did you call up Jones?" she Inno
cently queried.
"Jones? Jones? What the deuce have
I got to do with Jones? I'm talking
of would-be murderers and assassins.
Woman, this Is the climax! Tomor
row morning we'll have the lawyers
here. I'll have the papers ready for
'em. I now retire to the library, and
if anyone asks for me tell 'em that
it was your assassin hand that struck:
the fatal blow!"
"And how many sound-waves will it
take to tell them?"-"-
He glared at her.
"And If you want the last to be a
drive-wave you'd better leave the
horn."
He gurgled, but words would not
come.
"I stand on my heels when I shout.
don't I?" .
"Wo woman!"
"I hope It doesn't snap my corset
strings."
Gestures but no words.
"The next invention must be some
thing to help you dodge bottles and
cans. Go on, Mr. Bowser, I will help
you to fame and glory."
He had neither knife nor gun. and
he went. (Copyright, 1913, by the As
