HAS MADE PROGRESS
Marconi's Wireless Telegraph More
Than an Experiment.
Young Inventor Claims That 1t VIII
Play Important Part in the
Industrial md Trade Life
of the Future.

In a recent lecture delivered before
the British Society of Arts, Guglielmo
Marconi, the perfecter of wireless te-
legraphy, reported progress. Marconi
| has been actively at work for several
years on the commercial installation
| of his system throughout the world
and in developing, experimentally new
devices and methods of transmitting
| signals through space without wires.
An authoritative statement from him
| amounts to a summary of what has
been accomplished up to date with the
| new wonder.
First reports of the work of the
| wireless telegraph indicated that,
while it was extremely interesting
from a scientific standpoint, in prac-
/ tice it possessed such important limi
tations as to make it of no great COM
mercial value, except in few places
where conditions were peculiar. The
reports of the failure of the system
as tried during the operations of the
| British army in South Africa tended
| further to confirm the idea that the
wireless telegraph would never reach
DoSlIlOll vi SItdI Iud lttl
To people possessing these ideas,
, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the
| statements of Marconi will carry
great enlightenment. BY a number of
most ingenious inventions and devices
he has done away with the principal
drawbacks at first experienced, and
has developed new system of wire
less telegraphy which is as far ahead
of the one used by him at the begin
ming as his first work was in advance
of the original experiments of Hertz
and Henry. In fact, he states that the
| system and apparatus he first put in
use are out of date and practically
valueless, and are being rapidly super
seded by his new inventions.
The principal and vital objection OBJ
served in the first installations of the

SpotIess Stains,

Katie is an interesting figure in
the studio of one OF the art colonies
of this city. She is maid from the
"old sod" and as faithful to her mis-
tress as she is devoted to art. Nat
urally Katie hears a lot of shop
talk" and appropriates the profes-
sional terms to her own use. A Wis
itor to the studio recently proved
rather irritating to Katie's nerves,
and after the door had closed upon
the obnoxious party Katie drew the
portiere with jerk, eXclaiming:
Sure, she is as you see her; there's
no background" Upon another occa-
sion Katie was admiring in eXtrava-
giant terms picture of Queen Vic
toria. ''Ah, but there's foine wom-
an for ye! And look at all the ILL
giant childer she brought up" Not

men and women crowded the streets
and wounded soldiers were on every
side. There was to be little sleep that
night in Richmond or in the next five
to come, for the fate of the city hung
in the balance during the seven days
battle. Somers carried off his novel
experience boldly, and, passing into
the Spotswood hotel, he sought a direc-
tory. His search for Holbin's name
was at once successful, and, taking a
note of the address, he went forth and
prepared himself for the final trial.
His safety lay in the character of the
service he was rendering to the woman
to whom HolDin owed much. At least
he argued so. How little he knew the
depths of villainy he was about to
probe!
A policeman directed him to the ad.
dress secured, and he found himself
before a spacious and pretentious man
sion of the older style. There were
lights in front and he hesitated,
prompted by some intuition. If he
could get to the rear, he imagined
and question a servant, the risk would
be less. There seemed to be garden
and wing, and upon side street he
found an entrance through an iron
gate, which stood ajar. Entering and
passing a horse tied in the shrubbery,
he approached the wing-room without
connecting the place with any impress
sion of memory; but suddenly, as he
neared the closed door, the plashing Of
a fountain smote his ear, and the eXpe-
rience of a memorable night rose to
mind. The iron gate, the gravel walk,
the shrubbery and the wing-room! All
were there; and above all the low mu-
sic of the fountain. Then, swift as q
flash of lightning, rose his promise. He
was pledged not to enter. But as he
stood, his mind confused and without
power to measure the significance of
the new facts, the door opened and a
young woman stepped out. The light
from the iron lamp swinging overhead
fell full upon her. He saw that her
face was womanly, sad, and beautiful,
face hallowed by the sufferings of
others like unto those he had seen SO
often in the convent and hospital. A

mind. He lifted his hat instinctively as
she paused in surprise.

she said, gently. Whom do you seek?"
At the sound of her voice he uttered
low cry; and then
"Frances!"
At the same instant she recognized
him and started forward. hut check-
ing the impulse, she drew back,
stunned and distressed.

wireless telegraph was that there was
no way of protecting messages from
the disturbances caused by other mes
sages or by meteorological conditions.
Privacy of messages was impossible,
and too many stations caused hopeless
confusion of signals. BY the invention
of an object which looks like a big cyl
inder of copper, with a wire reaching
from the ground up through it's center,
Marconi has succeeded in making the
messages sent at one station receiv-
able only at the particular station in
tended. He has thus made it possible
to increase greatly the number of sta
tions in a given locality without caus-
ing trouble. A fleXibility of operation
approaching that of the wire telegraph
has been the result.
Other great improvements recently
developed in wireless telegraphy have
reduced enormously the height of the
wires necessary to transmit and re-
ceive signals, and have increased the
distance to which messages can be
sent. a portable apparatus which can
be attached to a railroad car, and be
ready for use even when the train is
moving, is another development of in
terest. According to Marconi, the prob
lens which proved too severe for wire
less telegraphy in the Boer war in
South Africa are now easy of solution.
Marconi devoted large part of his
address to refuting the statement that
the wireless telegraph was not yet a
commercial proposition. He named a
score of places in various parts of the
globe where public messages were be-
ing haa'1ied at regular rates with
profit. Over 35 ships of the British
navy have been provided with the APP
paratus, and practically all lightships
and detached lighthouses belonging to
Great rritain have been fitted with it.
Many lives and much property have
been saved with it's assistance. The
Borkum lightship, belonging to the
German government. on Borkum riff,
reports sos commercial messages re-
ceived from May to October, of which
SIS came from ships, mostly the North
German Lloyd steamers.
If improvements continue to be
made in the next five years as in the
last five it is safe to say that wireless
telegraphy will play large part in the
Industrial and commercial life of the
near future.

not surprised when he took the stand
in his speech against the theme OF
one of the best-known Sunday school
hymns. He declared that young per-
sons should be taught more practical
desires than to become angels Such
expressions were silly, he said.
Col. Parker was not the only noted
educator who expressed himself on the
question of Sunday-school hymns at
the convention. Prof. l.. II. Jones, OF
Cleveland, also expressed some orig
inal views. The idea of both speak
ers was that practical ingenuity should
be instilled into the minds of chill
dren. Merely to want to become
an angel without working for it was
too easy, the speakers thought.
These views are along the line of
Col. Parker's ideas on education,
which Chicago people have long been
familiar with. They were developed
by him while he was president of the
Cook county normal school. 1t was
to enable Col. Parker to put his views
of education into practice without
being hampered by politics that Mrs.
Emmons Blaine endowed the Chicago
institute and placed him al the head.

The finest question was: What was

third: What is the source of animal
