will make use of his wonderful news-buoys
to send in reports and photographs to the

- usually till results are in sight, so that
few of the prospects of the magazine in this

Marconi who is sure of marvellous extern
sion of his wireless telegraphy, will describe
this, his latest achievement, as he did his
first, in Nc MeCInre'S Magazine.
Edison and his New Storage Battery. An
invention which is almost revolutionary in
character, will be the subject of an article by
Ray Stannard Baker.
The Marvels of Modern Surgery will be
described by Samuel Hopkins Adams, and
he will show what great progress has been
made toward prolonging human life.
A New Race of Forest Dwarfs (not merely
a new tribe) has been discovered in Central
