WIRELESS "DOMESTIC."
As might hare been expected, the linking of wireless for household work has been accomplished. M. Frnnchette, president of of the former French Society for the Study of Wireless, has succeded in making wares from the Eiffel Tower replace at least one servant in his household. At six in the morning the Eiffel Tower time signal starts an alarm clock ringing In M. Franchette'3 bedroom. While he is dressing, an ingenious apparatus, also controlled by the unvarying waves from the Eiffel Tower, starts the heating of his morning cup of chocolate. At the same time a wireless apparatus pulls back the curtains and opens the shutters of the bedroom window. If M. Franchette wants to write while in bed at any hour of the night, he has only to touch a buttou, and a small desk, with paper, pens and ink, slowly wheels alongside his bed. This apparatus is controlled by wireless, while the official time is reflected from a wireless clock upon the ceiling above his bed.
