power, charge the vertical wire and pro.
ject into ether a volume OF magnetic
waves that flashed unguided through
space with the velocity of ray of light
and descended with their message into the
tick of the coherer.
A brief description of the apparatus
used III wireless telegraphy will aid to an
understanding of the principles involved
There Is a marked analogy between Mar
conis system and the system of telegraphy
now in use that was invented by Morse.
Each has an instrument called the trans
mitter, so adjusted rs to produce electric
phenomena, and each has an instrument
called the receiver, to reproduce the
sounds. But while the Morse system is
dependent on an electric current to con
duet the signals the Marconi system uses
the ether as conductor, and propagates
the signals by electric waves.
The transmitter consists of an eight
inch induction coil, which is operated by a
storage battery of twenty-five volts. From
one of the binding posts of the induction
coil n wire runs to a galvanized iron ball
that is suspended from some object that
rises above surrounding buildings. Ground
wires complete the circuit Electric dis
turbance is produced by forcing sparks
across the space intervening between the
discharging knobs on the induction coil.
These knobs are adjusted and can be ar
ranged so as to produce spark of varying
length, depending on the capacity of the
metal ball and vertical wire which is at
tached to one terminal Of the induction
coil.
The rapid-oscillating high-frequency
sometimes 200,000) between the knobs
on the induction coil affect the ether in
the vicinity of the vertical wire and metal
ball so that electric waves are propagated
in every direction. These electric waves
continue until they reach ball and wire
similar to those connected with the induc-
tion coil. This ball ard wire intercepts
the waves, and conducts them to the re-
ceiver. The receiver consists OF an nstru-
ment, called the coherer, which is con-
nected with high resistance relay, such
as may be seen in any telegraph Office.
This relay actuates an ordinary telegraph
sounder.
Prof. Green became interested in the
work after reading Marcons paper read
before the Institute of Electrical Engi-
neers in London. When the successful
experiments were made in transmitting
messages across the English channel he
determined to make an experiment for his
electrical classes.
A number of visiting college presidents
called at the laboratory during the expert
ment and witnessed the first working of
the system. Among them were President
Whitney and ViceP President Conway of
Ta;,
President O'Hara of Mount Saint Mary's
College, Emmetsburg, Nd; President
Lehy of Holy Cross College, Worcester,
Mass. President Fox of Saint Johns Col
ege, Fordham, n. Y, and the president

st. Mary's, and Prof. Green set his stu
dents at work to fit up another set of in
struments for that purpose. The instru-
ments used in transmitting the messages
require no more space than a sewing ma
chine, aud those at the opposite end may
be carried in the hand. The storage bat
terry used in the Notre Dame experiments
had capacity of forty ampere hours
The power was conducted TO an eightinch
induction coil that transformed the low
tension electricity of the battery to the
high tension oscillating current that prop
agated the waves, which, discharged from
the vertical wire and metal sphere, travel
at the rate of 1885, 900 miles second.
These waves resemble in length the
waves of sound rather than those of light
A vertical wire and sphere receive the
impulses and convey them to the coherer
This instrument is the essential one in the
wireless system. 1t consists of a glass
tube few inches in length, the ends of
which are closed with adjustable brass
plugs. The space between these plugs is
filed with filings of silver and nickel
which cohere when affected by the cleo
trical wares. The cohesion of the parti-

were prospecting. These cobblers, Au-
gust Richie and George f. Hook, dug
for ore on the top of hill. Other min
ers laughed at their folly, but the cob
blers stuck to their picks, and after
digging twenty-six feet struck a vein
of carbonate ore of surprising rich
ness. This was the Little Pittsburg
mine. Tabor made million or more
from his interest. The site of his store
became the center of Leadville and
Tabor grew immensely wealthy. His
fortune was estimated at from S6000,-
900 to $9000,00O. Then he moved to
Denver.
At that time Denver was placid
town of 10000 people. Tabor believed
In Its future. Near the city, "out on

a cost of million. This was his dwell

cles reduces the resistance sufficiently ts
cause the relay to operate. The normal re-
sistance of the coherer in Prof. Green's
trials was 10000 ohms; when affected by
the impulses 1t was reduced to between
ten and fifty ohms. The power Of trans.
mission is increased fourfold by doubling
the height of the vertical wire. The waves
can be concentrated in enc direction, like
the rays of searchlight. This is effect

Experience Of a Quartet of Rounders
on Visit to a Show.
1t appears that one idle day the frog,
the duck, the lamb and the skunk start
ed forth together to visit the show.
Just what sort of show 1t was, relates
the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the chron-
icler doesn't state. Anyway, 1t was
something that the queerly assorted
quartet was anxious to attend, and
they hoped and waddled, and gam
boled, and trotted toward the big can
vas inclosure with delightful throbs Of
anticipation.
Finally they reached the door-tender,
the frog leaping the line.
Well, the frog had a greenback and
passed right in.
The duck had a bill and followed the
frog.
The lamb had four quarters and fol-
lowed the frog END duck.
But the unf,r innate sKuna was iels
on the outside. Jfa had only scent.
Naturally he turned away feeling
pretty blue.
As he was slowly going back over
the hill he met a hoop snake rolling
along at lively rate toward the show.
The skunk greeted him, but the snake
did not stop.
"Don't interrupt me-" he cried, over
sA shoulder. 1--WE got to do turn
and I'm little late"
And he rolled along.
At the top OF the hill the skunk no.
ticed another old friend approaching
1t was the sardine.
"Hullo" cried the sardine; whats
the matter?"
So the skunk told him.
Il can guess how you feel about it."

of the Ottawa University, Canada This
trial was made between two rooms in Sci
ence hall and the instantaneous click OF
the coherer made known the success OF
the experiment.
The receiving station was then moved to
machinery hall, distance of 200 feet. The
doors aud windows OF both bnildings were
closed and here it was seen that walls
were no barrier to these magnetic waves.
Whether the waves penetrate or go around
a building is not known. The next day
the coherer was removed to the various
buildings on the campus with success
equal to the first days trial.
Prof. Green then suspended the verti-
cal wire from the flagstaff on the campus,
a height of 1875 feet. The instruments
were more accurately adjusted and trial
was made at st. Mary's academy, mile
and half away. Here again the tappings
came as accurately as when a single wall
divided the sending and receiving instru-
ments.
In the laboratory at st. Mary's academy
was an induction coil that had been
brought from Paris by Rev. Provincial
Zahm. This coil could be pressed into SER

material of the apparatus used was taken
entirely from the physical laboratory of
the university. A storage battery that is
common to any electrical workshop, a re-
lay and key from the telegraph room, an
induction coil from the %-ray apparatus
and a coherer and choking coil made by
students under Prof Green's instruction
constituted the paraphernala. These
were all that was needed to generate the
