WIRELESS "DOMESTIC"
As might have been expected, the linking of wireless for household work has been accomplished. M. Franchette, president of the former French Society for the Study of Wireless, has succeeded in making waves from the Eiffel Tower replace at, least one servant in his household. At 6 in the morning (:iays the Paris correspondent of, the "Pall Mall Gazette") the Eiffel Tower time s:gr.aj starts an alarm clock ringing iv M. Fraiichetto's 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 tho 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 button, and a small desk, with 'paper, pens, and ink, slowly wheels alongside his bed. This apparatus is controlled -by wireless, while the -.ifficial time is reflected from a wireless clock upon-the ceiling above his bed.
