YOUNG INVENTOR.
Horace Greeley's Granddaughter Is n
Prodigy.

Prodigy.
There are not many boys OF l6 who
can construct electric motors. lnduc-
ton coils, pocket telegraph ana make
apparatus by which the Merc'ni sys-
TEN OF wireless telegraphy caa DC sep
arated.
Edwin c. Donnell, little New York
lad. who enjoys the distinction OF n
grand-nephewship to Horace Greeley,
has mastered all these electrical mys-
terles, and bids fair to be the twentieth
century Edison.
Young Donnell is regarded as an cleo
trlcal wonder by his family and
friends. He has always been a thought
tul and studious boy. Three years ago
he picked up weekly publication for
boys and girls and read an article on
electricity. II aroused his keenest in
terest. From that day to this he has
devoted his spare time TO the study OF
electrical laws. and after many months
OF solid effort. his reward has been the
construction OF wireless telegraph
system. based on the ideas OF Marconi.
His ambition Is now to telegraph
across the Hudson River, according to
the Marconi system.
