New York.—Electricity, child of
peace, has been adopted by war as its
own especial ward. Without electric
ity this war could never have reached
the proportions which it has; perhaps
could never have been fought at all.
Every “Big Bertha” is fired by uu elec
tric spark. Every order from head
quarters reaches the trenches, not by
courier as in days of old, but by tele
phone. The wireless crackles a stuc-
cato accompaniment to every sailing
of ship and submarine. The torpedo
itself is propelled by electric motors.

side. And when erected, it can tal*
messages from field anil airplanes with
equal ease.
The French have developed tho
wireless to a fine point. They now
have what they call an “ondophono”
detector for receiving messages, the
value of which lies in its small size
find extremely compact makeup. The
whole affair, as a matter of fact, can
bo carried in an officer’s breast pocket.
With this little detector at a dis
tance of 20 miles from the transmit
ter all that Is needed is an open um
brella held ns high as the hand can
reach—or a sword, if you prefer—
while a small metal contact piece con
nected to a cord lies upon the ground
and makes tho earth circuit. At (>()
miles one need only plant a knife In
a tree, preferably a pine tree, or a
gimlet will answer as well. One of
the cords with Its metal clip is at
tached to this “antenna” while the
other clip is placed in the ground.
The entire receiver weighs but 13
• ounces and yet in spite of Its size it
is meticulously made and is a most
accurate apparatus.
For Lonrj-Distance Work.
For long distance, for instance to
the extreme borders of France, one
clip is joined to a telephone line which
serves ns an antenna and the other
goes to gas or water pipes for the
ground. But at a smaller distance!
there can he a wider choice for an- j
tennne—a kitchen stove, a balcony, a 1
metn! ’.J or the like, or even a bi
cycle or an automobile. The operator j
may use his own body for the ground
by attaching the metal clip to his fin
ger, while the other clip goes to the
telephone wire. In this way signals
have reached Paris from a distance
of no less than 270 miles.
Most interesting of all, perhaps, and
particularly so from a constructive
viewpoint, Is the invention of an elec
trical contrivance to remove particles
of metal from wounds. This has not
come directly from the war, either,
though it is being used there now in
the best of the base hospitals. It
came from Pittsburgh, from the fac
tories which have been furnishing
practically all of the barbed wire for
the allies’ intreneliments.
Tills machine is a powerful electric
magnet that is taking the place of
the surgeon’s painful and perilous
probe, and it is .one to save countless
lives and untold' agony. The removal
of pieces of shrapnel, steel-jacketed
bullets and other metal substances
from wounds by use of powerful elec-
,tro-m:p;iiets in tlie yar zone hospitals
