GENTLY sensitive to record the Hertzian
waves when they are sent. If the two
tuning forks, which have been suggested,
as an illustration of electrical methods,
were placed half mile apart, the instru-
ments which would detect sympathetic
vibrations in the receiving tuning fork
would have to be extremely sensitive,
and some difficulty would be found in
distinguishing sympathetic vibrations
from those those due to extraneous
causes.
So it Is with the electric tuning forks.
HertZian electric waves, like light waves
or sound waves, do not run in parallel
lines straight from the starting point
they radiate in all directions like frag-
ments of bursting she'll Professor
Nikola Tesla, therefore, suggested some
years ago that an electric screen should
be added to the apparatus of the receiving
station in order to catch as many of the
waves as possible. This suggestion Pro-
fessor Marconi has adopted and adapted.
In the case of TIL, instrument at Bourne
mouth he has supplemented the receivers
by the addition of mast 100 feet high,
and from a ring near the top narrow
strip of wire netting runs to the receiving
instrument and acts. as = collector Of

the second station is located. This
mast and netting are shown in the &C.

Society Women
Are
All Sim Now

NEW YORK, June N.-(special Corre-
spondence to The Herald) So far as l can
see, neither dressmaker, tailor, nor de-
signer has this season taken into consid-
GRAFTON the claims of those inclined to en-
bonpoint. Apparently, however, they have
right on their side, for how is it that the
majority of society women, whether young
or old, are all slim now? Time was when
well developed charms were the mode, but
this year they are relegated to the painters
canvas. All the lovely gowns which will
shortly figure at the races demand tall,
willowy figures.
One which particularly took my fancy
this week was composed of muslin in
very delicate shade of blue, sprigged SPAR
ingly with tiny fiowerlet. The
skirt, as beseems the latest shape, was ex-
ceedingly full, but, not content with its
fullness. 1t bore in addition round dozen
of tiny frills-it would be mere affectation
to call them founces-of the muslin each
bordered with coffee-colored lace. These
frills were set on In Vandyke fashion and
certainly added greatly to the appearance
of the skirt. In front the waist pouched-
of course 1t did-and both back and front
we're covered with a multitude Of little
lace-edged frills, matching those on the
skirt and applied so as to simulate zou-
ave. The vest-what fashionable gown
dare be without one?-was of sequin-em-
broidered chiffon, the paillottes being of
faintest blue and silver. The orange waist
band of glace silk was family shot with
blue. The neck garniture matched it, and
the sleeves. which were composed of tiny
lace-edged frills, bore at the wrist two

blue, this being, am assured, the dernier
cri as regards waist trimmings. The foun-
dalton of the gown throughout was glace
silk Of its own shade.
Another gown-it hailed from the same
atelier-was Of the ever-favorite magpie
mixture in white silk, white chiffon and
black spangled Chantilly net. I do not
think ever saw a prettier or more sue

that when my readers have mastered it's
description they, too, will agree with me-

A MESSENGER FOR MAN
EXPERIMENTS WITH WIRELESS
TELEGRAPHY
PHOTOGRAPH OF APPARATUS
Row Professor Marconi Has Flashed
Messages From Station to Station
by Means Of Vibrations

Several months scientists were aston
ished to hear Of the invention of system
of telegraphing in which wires were dis
pensed with. To most people it sounded
too incredible to be accepted seriously
and as the experiments had not at that
time reached a stage where doubters
could be made to see and believe, the mat
ter was temporarily forgotten. The ex-
periments have gone on quietly, however,
and now anyone who wishes to travel to
Bournemouth, in England, can see the
wireless telegraph system in actual oper-
alton at the experimental station estab-
lished there by Professor Marconi.
AS everyone cannot do that, this news
paper prints an illustration made from
the first photograph taken from the wire
less telegraph station. showing the ap-
paratus from which messages are made
to fly through space distance of four
teen miles without the aid of any con-
Meeting wires, or any medium Of commu-
nication save the atmosphere of which
science makes such wonderful use.
The principle Of telegraphing across
space without the aid of Intervening wires
finds an apt illustration in the responsive
action of two tuning forks. If we place
q couple of tuning forks, which are tuned
to exactly the same note, short distance
from each other, and then, by drawing a
violin bow or by striking one of them,
cause it to sound note-which is anoth-
er way Of saying that we cause it to emit
sound-the second tuning fork will catch
up these vibrations and begin itself to vi
brate alphabetically. 1t will give evil
dence of its vibration by echoing the
sound of the first tuning fork. Within
certain limits, and with sight differences
In practice. this Is the way In which the
electric waves by being sent by one cleo
trio instrument and being received on
another, transmit first vibrations and
thence messages through space.
This was method of signaling which
was known and experimental with by
Professor Nikola Tesla of New York, by
Professor oliver Lodge In England, by
DR.. Swaby In Berlin, and by DR.. Brown
lees in France, before Professor Marconi
--who up to recent period used Brown
lees coherer to aid him In getting dis
tinctness of messages-was heard of.
Professor Marconi, however, claims to
have been more successful in the practi-
cal transmission Of messages than any of
his forerunners. One of the great diff
eulties IN sending messages is. of course,
