Forced 70 the Fore.

LONDON, Sept. A.-The manner in which Nor
conf, tho young italian who claims to have dis
covered the Bo-callod wireless telcgrnphy, 10 still
being doomed is becoming remarkable. 1t is al
most impossible to pick mp n newspaper or mag
aEine without finding a pun, and altogether no
one reading these advertisements would sup
pose anybody but Marconi ever thought of tel
egraphinE without wires. Edison, Tesla, and
the other masters who were experimenting on
the same thing almost before tho young Italian
was born would smile to read the wonders
which arc now promised in this young mans
name.
This week the world has boon informed that
Marooni and his paraphernalia are installed at
Dover and that startling things have been done
there in the way Of demonstrating the foasibil-
ity OF establishing telegraphic communication
with bcleagured forts. A fortnight ago Mar
conf was in Italy also working wonders.
A good deal Of money must have been spent
upon these puffs, and the people who arc run
ming the Marconi boom are not the sort of folks
to give something for nothing. But the ex-
pected Joint stock corporation destined to take
over the wireless telegraphy business has not
yet made it's appearance. Three months ago
these commercial arrangements had been al
most completed on the basis. 1t 10 understood,
Of o capital stock of 81, O00. 900. but difficulties
arose out OF q question as to the validity OF
certain patents. The present vigor of the boom
seems to justify tho belief that the difficulties
have been surmounted and the public soon
will be asked to put their money into Mar
conf, Limited" or whatever the corporation
may decide to style itself.
William II. Preece, tho chief engineer of tho
British Government Telegraph Department.
who was Marconi's first hacker, is now working
hard to get tho Italians machine adopted by
the War Department for the benefit of be-
~leaguered forts. Establishments are being Law.
