what once do here on small scale can do anywhere in larger way"
 It is now almost year since Prof. Elem Ing, of University College, London, Ad- dressed the British Association for the Ad- vancement of Science on wireless teleg- raphy, and, In sending greetings by the Marconi system to the French association across the channel discovered that some of the messages exchanged were detected fifty miles beyond their destination. Messages sent from Boulogne to Dover were read in the stations at Chelmsford, away across the hills of Kent and beyond the smoke and fog of London town. The achievement was remarkable, even though the public re- fused to be surprised. Probably nothing short of wireless messages half way round the world would excite unusual interest now, and doubtless many are wondering less telegraphy than has already been ac- complished.
 But Marconi has not been contented to stop at the attainment of hundred miles. There were and are still too many prob lens unsolyed for him to rest from his la bors To prevent the interception of dis patches and the "jamming' of the instru- ments, to attain longer distances, to master the secret of tuned" ether waves and to apply the system practically to shipping so as to increase the safety of vessels at sea-these are a few of the things he has set out to do. Already the little strip of coast near Poole Harbor has witnessed some Of these solutions.

man steamship company and making sta- tions on six of the Hawaiian Islands, and instruments for the complete outfit are now on their way there.
 The use of. the system in South Africa has been chiefly confined to signaling be- tween the English ships along the coasts and stations on land, though Lord Roberts has made good use of 1t on land in some instances. During the recent fear of a Boer plot to blow up the English ships the wireless system showed it's advantage.
 The company recently organized in France will place the Marconi system in use along the French coast and on the French naval fleet. In addition to all these operations, the installation of the system on forty English warships should keep Marconi busy for some time.
 Certainly the wireless telegraph has ceased to be scientific toy; it bids fair to be one of the most important elements of the future worlds work. But Marconi takes 1t all modestly.
 'I don't think I have done very much yet" he remarks, 'ibut am young, aed perhaps may yet do something worth while" On stormy days, when work outside Is im- possible, indoor experiments are carried on from one room to another.

dispatches was for long time possible. It may not have occurred the ooJeotors that the same fault may be found with the wire system of signaling. But by means or variable conductors and capacities Marcom has worked out system by which only certain instruments can receive certain messages.
 A hundred wireless instruments tapping out a hundred different messages or record ing a hundred different dispatches from as many different places ranging in distance up to, let us say, 100 miles, would be most marvellous yet Marconi is now able to do that and much more He has taken up the old problem of tuning" messages and worked 1t out practically

EDIsoN's NEWEST WONDER
A Machine for Generation of Electricity
 Without Engine and Dynamo

I From the New York Journal.
 The electrical world today is marveling l at what is believed to be Thomas A. Edi- l sons greatest invention, namely, a machine | for the generation of electricity without b engine. and dynamos. This machine. if uccessful-generatlns | an electric current as simply as steam is generated in boiler-will in all probability 1 revolutionize all known methods of pro- 1 pulsion. This latest and greatest machine 1 of the famous wizard is the result of eX- periments extending over period of years | and realizes his ambitions voiced prophet 1 ically six years ago.
 l It is contrivance to generate electrical power directly from coal. If MT. Edison's expectations are borne out the passing of the steam engine is now in sight.
 The details of the new electrical wonder have not yet been announced, but, it is said, they are ready to be made public in few days
 In view of this that the invention is to ido away entirely with storage batteries, dynamos, etc., the details are being eagerly awaited by all electricians-from the en- gineer who plans and builds great electri- cal power houses down to the humble con ductor of an electrical automobile.
 The new plan, it is asserted, will not only revolutionize travel, both on land and sea supplanting the throbbing triple expansion engines of the liner with a small oil stove and the monster boiler of the ponderous locomotive, with a light cylnder-but also revolutionze the use of electricity in homes and offices.
  The new machine Is small, simple and inexpensive. It can be opearted anywhere and under all conditions; in an automobile or an ocean liner; in a barn or power house. September 15 is the date when the details of the new invention are to be made pub lie.

several weeks recently with Marconi at the Poole station, and of watching the work from day to day. Each morning began with a wireless converse ton with the Isle of Wight station when orders were given to the man there to stand by later in the day, and meantime to look out for any un- usual 'etheral' occurrences. The English navy was experimenting with wireless tel egraphy at Portsmouth forty miles be- yond and the Isle of Wight installa ton kept up lively action while these experi- ments were going on.
 The most widespread cry against the use- fulness of wireless telegraphy has been based on the fact that the Interrogation of
The age-herald., 1900-09-23

1t has been called. One of the leading ideas of the innovation is that there shall always be on hand ready to sally forth at any moment a fleet of seventeen strong and healthy torpedo boats, sound in wind and limb, shining inside and out, with never a speek of rust or a trace of a barnacle.
 And, according to the system in view, such an exodus will be immediately fol- lowed by. the filling of the vacant berths with other torpedo boats in need of atten- tion
 One important reform that the torpedo boat hospital will bring about is that bat tleships and cruisers will at last have something more than ghost of a show of being dry-doeked. A landlubber would never believe it, but 100-ton torpedo boat gives twice as much trouble and costs much more money to dock than a 10000

 "Dear Sir:-Please accept my sincere thanks for yours of recent date. I have given your treatment thorough test and the benefit has been extraordinary. It has completely braced me up. l am just as vigorous as when a boy and you cannot realize how happy l am."
 "Dear Sir:-Your method worked beauti- fully Results were exactly what I needed Strength and vigor have completely re- turned and enlargement is entirely satis- factory"
 "Dear Sir:-Yours was received and I had no trouble in making use of the receipt as directed and can truthfully say 1t is a boon to weak men. l am greatly improved in size, strength and vigor."
 All correspondence is strictly confiden- tial, mailed in plain sealed envelope. The receipt is free for the asking and he wants every man to have it. 9-19-6t

 What costs money at a dry-dock is pumping out the water after the vessel Is in and the gates are shut.

 The round house will save all that, every body will be pleased, and it is expected that more torpedo-boat hospitals will be established on the Pacific coast and else- where.
