I. JAMES CLERK MAXWELL)
The beginnings of radio may he
traced back to the scientific work
ef James Clerk Maxwell, the cel
ebrated British physicist. Maxwell
was born at Edinburgh. Scotland,
and conducted his brilliant re
searches at a
age, dying at
comparatively young
when but forty^ght yeareSld. i
He believed that light was due
to waves in an invisible medium
which scientists call the "ether.**,
He believed further that light was]
some kind of an electromagnetic
phenomenon. It was these ideas
of Maxwell's that lead Hertz later
to the discoveries that made radio
possible.
If Maxwell were right in his
assumption that light was both a
wave motion and electromagnetic
in nature, then scientists would
expect any vibrating electric cur
rent to send out waves of some
kind, just as a .vibrating violin
string sends out sound waves.
Maxwell's work was first published
in 1873, but it remained for
Hertz to establish experimental
-proof of his theories some fifteen
years later.
Maxwell is honored among
physicists as the mathematical
wizard of his times. His theoret
ical work is the basis upon which;
much of modern physical science'
rests.* Especially is this true In
the realm of electrical theory,'
(
where his work is constantly re-j
/erred to as the great authority
which has inspired modern ideas of
electricity. Radio scientists have (
Maxwell to thank for first having
opened the door to the develop
ments that have led-to the modern
.
science and art of radio.

PROSPERITY SHOWS
IN INSURANCE GAIN
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Ajndther
indication of the great prosperity of
the American people can be found in
the gain in life insurance which set
a net record in the year just closed.
Every month showed an increase over
the same month of 1924, according to
the report recently made public by the
Association of Life Insurance Presi
dents.
The association estimates that the
total of new business for all life in
surance companies in 1925 was $15,
600,000,000, an increase of $2,400,
000,000 or abhut 16 per cent, over
1924. After deductions for deaths
and other terminations, this makes
the total of life policies in force $72,
000,000,000.
The total new insurance of forty
five companies having in force 31
per cent of life insurance coverage
of all legal reserve companies in
1925, exclusive of revival, increases
and dividend additions, was $10,927,
000,000, against $9,109,000,000 in
1924, an increase of 20 per cent, ac

TOUCHING TRIBUTE
IV OUR PIONEERS
Atooag the features of the recent
reunion rf Gallatin county R» 0 ™*"
Tiwd ff« »tyl daughters of Gallatin
pioneers was the reading, by Georg e
Pease, of an original composition em -
bodying a touching tribute to the
Piooegn.
With reverence, pride, and oeep
understanding, Mrs. Pease pa* 11
faithful word-picture of the joys an'J
the sorrows, the hardships and the
services of those heoric *
women who, urged by the spirit that
ever prompts the courageous,
the comforts of civilization for the
dangers and trials of the wilderness,
mountain and plain—who sacrificed
and toiled that we might enjoy the
advantages of today,
Mr. Pease's tribute follows:
Old Pioneers : The veil is drawn, '
And .through the misty, cob-webbed
years,
Unfolds the picture of your trail.
Fast-fleeting now, are the scenes cf
then, ,
And soon no longer will be here,
Those who have the right to bear
The name of Pioneer.
Prom out the old into the new,
From beaten road to paths unknown,
Frcm Civilization's home to Nature's
breast.
From purring cat and lap-dog,
To snaring wolf and bear,
Were the steps you took.
To win the badge you wear.
As from the Glacier flows the liberat
ed stream
1 With course unmarked o'ey
plain,
j And on its way, seeks first the easi
! est, lowest places, . ...
Stopping anon, to fill the sunken
fertile
spot;
| So from Atlantic's shores you
Westward took your way,
j Along the rivers and through the
dales,
J Then higher up on mountain side,
j And farther into forests shade. •
The trail of game the Redmen used,
Became the path of trapper guide,
| Then with greater wear, the road
yesterday
I Became a present great highway.
So, year by year^the Pioneer has ven
tured on, ,
1 State after state, in days gone by
Has held up high, the valor icf your
deeds,
I And the manner of your building,
I Forgetting not the trials and ills

The splendid badge by others worn

Until now, you, the sacred emblem

With all it means through all the
years,
And all its joys, and all its tears.
And when on the Trail of Life, you
ride,
Across the Great Unknown Divide
And can no longer hear
Deserving words of praise and cheer,
Then tenderly we will think of .thee,
Kiss the badge you wear—
Emblem of a mighty host,
Of untold trials and toil,
Of honor earned beyond repay—
And thank God for men, and women
dear,
Who bore the name of—Pioneer.
NO GAME PRESERVE
FOR GARDINER NOW
Park County News:
The proposition of creating a game I
preserve around Gardiner was aban
doned for the present by the fish and
Tame commission at its meeting in ]
Helena Thursday.
According to S, A. Wilson, member
of the commission who attended the
meeting, the proposition was given up
due to the preponderance of sentiment
shown against the preserve at thé
hearing held recently in Gardiner.
Mr. Wilson states that at a later
date a proposition to take in a smaller
territory, that part most vital to the
game from he park, will receive fav
orable action. He* states that the
commission is favoring the passage
of a bill to he presented in congress
providing means for the purchase by
the government, or by private parties
for government use, o£ the required
lands along the park boundary, &nd
it is believed such an act will solve
the game refuge problem in this see
tion. The bill affects some 13,000 j
acres north of the park boundaries
The bill has the support of park of

York and the close contact which the
city has with Europe because of its
«rent port.
The number of aliens in New York,
however, is decreasing rather than
increasing. In 1916 there were over
1,600,000 aliens in New York state
and 1,204,000 in New York dty.
These figures are above those of
1925. In the meantime the population
of the state and city has increased
during the decade, so that the per
centage of aliens to the total popula
tion is decidedly smaller than ten
years ago. The reason given for this
is the stringent immigration laws.
A goodly per cent of all the aliens
swarming into New York city re
mained in the foreign quarters of
the city. This was especially true
of the immigrants from Eastern and
southern Europe. Now that the in
flux of people from these sections
has been cut off, the alien population
of New York is beginning to de
crease.
SEEKS TO AMEND
IMMIGRATION ACT:
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Represen
tative Meyer Jabobstein of New York
has introdiiced House Bill No. 7379, to
amend the immigration act of 1924.
The purpose of his bill is not to add
materially to the immigrants now
coming into this country but to give
preference to those who are the near
relatives of aliens living in the United
States. The effect of this would be
that of the 164,000 now permitted to
enter under the quota law, the pre
ference would be given first to those
related to the aliens residing in the
United States, and that portion of
the quota not used up would go to
the newcomers not related to resident*
aliens. *
