fOuthful Electrician ana his "orks
Edwin G. DOnnell, great-grand-
nephew of Horace Greeley. one Of the
most prominent journalists and public
men of his time, is only 1G years old,
but has already made a name for him
self in the electrical world. Three years
ago he read an article on electricity in
weekly publication for boys and girls.
since that time he has been a close stu
lent Of the science and has made some
valuable appliances. One of his first
successes was a pocket telegraph In
,trument. He made every part by hand
excepting the telegraph key, which was
aiken from an old desk instrument.
Now the lad has invented a wireless
:elegraphy system based on the discov-
cries Of Marconi. He has the system
n operation In his home. A small bell
n one room responds to the electrical
influence generated in another room,
Ind there are no connecting wires. He
made all the appliances by hand; the
ron in them was taken from car fend-
.rs, and the brass was taken from the
wreck Of old instruments. Young Don
le!l. who lives In New York City, hopes
,oon to be able to telegraph across the
Hudson River without using wires.

The nth annual meeting OF the Ne

hesitation-i0r fear Of imrosinR too

York-the executive board decided to
accept. Faith in the York women was
justified by The perfect manner In which
they cared for the wants Of their guests.
