Open All Ni ?ht 83 and 85 NORTH FORSYTH STREET OPPOSITE ANSLEY HOTEL By JONATHAN WINFIELD. WASHINGTON, Dev. 20—How would you like to have Santa Claus bring you a single toy about ten feet long and two feet wide, valued at $10,000? How would you like to have him deliver it to your office and place It In a glass case as an ornament op posite your desk? That is what has happened to Sec retary of the Navy Josephus Dan iels. The "toy” is a model of the battle ship New York, latest and greatest of the dreadnoughts which fly the Stars and Stripes. This model, made with the utmost care and attention to de tail, has Just been turned out by the Bureau of Construction and Repair of the Navy Department, and has been placed in Secretary Daniels' office to show visitors what the New York will look like when she is launched. Model Costs $10,000. The estimated cost of this model is $ 1 0,000. and while It is far from being utilitarian, the Democratic Secretary of the Navy justifies its being by say ing that the general public has a right to see what its battleships look like, and that the model will be placed on general exhibition in the halls of the Navy Department as soon as the dreadnought enters active service. Few persons who pass through the Navy Department realize the im mense cost of Uncle Sam’s toy ar mada. made up of all classes of bat tleships. torpedo boats and subma rines. Every detail of these models is perfect. In the case of the model of the New York, for example, this .-accuracy is carried to such an extent that the very gun turrets are made so that they can be moved ’at will, and the miniatures of the fourteen-inch guns, fore and aft. can be trained on any object, just as their immense broth- er$ on the big battleship could hit any object within twelve or fourteen miles. Just Like Real Battleship. The deck of the miniature battle ship is marked off into sections and zones, precisely as is the deck of a battleship. The searchlights are kll properly placed and apparently ready for instant use. The big skeleton masts, the distinguishing feature of tall American ships, are in precisely t the position they will be on board the ] real New York, and tlie rapid-fire guns are at their exact stations. In each “crow’s nest’’ is a miniature fire control station,’’ the portion of a bat tleship which has been aptly desig nated as the "nerve center” of th% vessel. A modern battleship can sur vive the loss of its boilers, it can go on fighting after half or oven more of its guns have been shot away, it can deal death and destruction from a single, turret, but the entire ship is practically helpless if the two file con trol station's (one in each skeleton mast) are disabled. It is by the use of this mechanism, resembling nothing so much as a telescope placed horizontally, that the range finders are enabled to tell the exact distance j,>f the enemy’s ships. This is tpe foy which the Govern mental Santa <’iaus donated to Sec retary Daniels. Navy Department of ficials assure me that "one can not turn out a model for less than $10,- 000." The Secretary of the Navy must have a model of the New York; therefore he spends $10,000 for an of fice ornament, when he indignantly declined to buy a rug which cost about $1,000. People Leave Rural Routes in Indiana COLUMBUS. INI)., Dec. 20. Fig ures in a report by John M. Davis, postmaster here, show the population along the rural routes is growing less.

In the last year ten routes have shown a loss of 45 fam ilies. NEW YORK. Dec. 20.—Since the first wireless telegraph message from a moving train to a fixed station was flashed from the fast Lackawanna Limited to Scranton. Pa., five weeks ago, the Improvement of tlie wireless service between trains and stations for commercial and operating pur poses has been steadily going on. L. B. Foley, the Lackawanna’s superin tendent of telegraph, who originated the idea of the train wireless sys tem and has been In charge of the tests, is making satifactory experi ments in fields hardly thought of when the new' use of wireless was first con ceived. The latest accomplishment is the setting of signals by wireless from a moving train or from a fixed wireless station. When Mr. Foley reached the city yesterday from his ’ast test trip, he said that there was no longer any doubt that the wireless could be depended on for this signal service. If an operator at a station, he said, wants to set a signal for a moving train not in communication with him. he can cause the semphore blade of the signal post to rise or fall as ue wishes by simply sounding the prop er dots and dashes on his Key. Certain as Wires. "Signals can be set by wireless,” said Mr. Foley, "as easily a..d as sure ly as they arc now set by electricity conducted in wires. We have a se lective device by which an operator can set a signal at any point if he has occasion to flag a train." This means that if any mistakes are made in the brders issued to en gineers and conductors at stations or in the case of any emergency in which a train must be stopped to avert an accident the station operator can sig nal the train as certainly as if he had direct wire communication with someone on board. "Another valuable use to which the wireless-controlled signals can be pul," said Mr. Foley, "is the handling of freight trains on long runs. At present a through freight must make many stops between its starting point and destination, so that orders and instructions concerning right of way can be delivered to the conductors, but these frequent stops are a source of expense and delay which will be abolished by the wireless telegraph. Foresees Economy. "Keeping freight trains in motion for long distances without stops will j result in great economy of opera- ' tlon.” said Mr. Foley. "Railroad op erating officials know how expensive it is to start and stop heavy freight trains, the additional cost of fuel witn the attendant pulling out of draw- ’heads and the wear and tear of equipment being no inconsiderable items in themselves. With direct com munication with a train'and the abil ity to set and release signals ' y wire less, dispatchers can keep in touca with conductors and make the stops needless The wireless permits the dispatcher to hoard every train and deliver his instructions as surely as if he handed them to the conductor in a sealed envelope." That the wireless service for ordi nary operating purposes is no long»-f an experiment is proved by the fact that the Lackawanna has already de pended upotv. it when wire communi cation was evil off. Used After Stprm. Recently, wbeff a aieefstrtrm put all..telephone and telegraph lines ofit of commission in tlie Mountain i Divisiofl of the Lackawanna Rall- 1 road, all train orders were handled by wireless between Scranton and Bing hamton. where the railroad s two fixed stations are. The signals were strong and distinct. Mr. Foley said, and the messages were received and sent by the operators without diffi culty. The wireless was the only means of communication between Scranton and Binghamton for two hours, during wh.ch 54 orders were transmitted. Commercial telegrams ha - e already been sent from the Lackawanna Lim ited and a set of regular toll rates is now being prepared by the railroad and telegraph companies Baby and Mother of The Ice Age Found SYRACUSE, Dec. 20. \rchaeolo- glsts of Syracuse University say one of the most Important discoveries in recent years is that of the petrified bodies of a woman and child, be lieved to have lived in glacial times, found neAr Cazenovin.
