tons now, for the experiments made
by Guglielmo Marconi between Eng
land and France have demonstrated
that the commercial use of wireless
tcleghaphy is something that we may
confidently expect at an early date. 10
Marconi belongs the credit of develop
ing and applying the principle discov-
cred by Nikola Tesla and explained by
him in pamphlet issued eight or nine
years ago. The scientific world was
inclined to scoff then. but Marconi saw
the pamphlet, became interested in
the subject and worked out the details,
with the result that he has sent mes
sages across the English channel, a
distance of thirty-two miles. If this
can be done it follows that the Allan
tic Ocean will soon prove no barrier,

abandoned. In a commercial way the
possibilities of this discovery are Ger
tainly almost limitless.

That we are upon the eve of the de-
velopment of n mighty mechanical
force for the manufacture of power,
greater than either steam or electricity,
seems evident. This new force is LIQUID
air. Chas. Il. Tripler of New York,
has demonstrated in series of expert
ments the pructicability of the applica-
ton of this new force to the develop
ment of power. Mr.. Tripler takes 500
gallons of ordinary air, and by COM
preston and cold reduces 1t to one gal
Ion of liquid that looks like glycerine.
1t retains its form at n temperature of
312 degrees below zero. On the same
principle that water becomes steam on
the application of heat, and under n
greater degree of heat superheated
steam, so liquid air as it warns ex-
pands into vapor and then into air. By
controlling this expansion new mo-
tive for the use of transportation COM
panies on sea and land, for factories,
furnaces and for every other purpose
for which steam and electricity are
now used is developed. The expansive
force of this new power is equal to
1000 pounds to the squire inch, and
without an exhaust pipe the pressure
is so prpot there is now no material of
