HAS MADE PROGRESS
MarcOni's Wireless Telegraph More
Than an Experiment.
Young Inventor Claims That Ii VIII
Play an Important Part in the
Industrial and Trade Life
of the Future.

In 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 il was extremely interesting
from a scientific standpoint, in prac-
tice il possessed such important limi-
tations as to make il of no great COM
mercial value, except in a 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
a position of great industrial value.
To people possessing these ideas,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the
statements of Narconi will carry
great enlightenment. BY number of
most ingenious inventions and devices
he has done away with the principal
drawbacks at first experienced. and
has developed a 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use are out of date and practically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

"a QUEER MEMENTO.
History of a Piece of Chewing Gum
Told by an Actress.

ma and How Beauty Aneet-
ed BelIbOy.

The actress, recently returned
from a season made up largely o.
transforming, was unpacking her
trunk, under the cormorantIike eyes
Of her stay-at-home friend. The lat
ter knew the lOathing with which gar
ments associated with one-night
stands are forever viewed when the
tour Is over, and she always found it
70 her advantage to be on hand when
the trunk was turned upside down.
Suddenly she plunged an arm into its
disordered depths and drew out
small something, at which she gazed
IN horror.
Welt" she declared, Il understood
that One-night stands shatter the
nerves and reduce the strongest
brain to more or less idiocy; but
never, never, did l think that l should
find in the trunk of a friend of mine
piece of chewing gum"
The actress gazed at the accusing
morsel and smiled. That is a token.

vulgarity. You see, kept one-half

friend. Never yet have I known you

Who was he, and is it serious?"
Serious is the word for it. I ad-

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 its center,
MarcOni has succeeded in making the
messages sent al one station receiy-
able only at the particular station in
tended. He has thus made il possible
TO increase greatly the number of sta
tions in a given locality without caus-
ing trouble. A fiexibility 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 ths
wires necessary to transmit and re-
ceive signals, and have increased the
distance TO which messages can be
sent. \ portable apparatus which can
be attached 10 q 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 a large part of his
address TO refuting the statement that
the wireless telegraph was not Yet a
commercial proposition. He named
score of places in various parts of the
globe where public messages were be
ing handled at regular rates with
profit. Over 3J ships of the British
navy have been provided with the ap-
paratus. and practically all lightships
and detached lighthouses belonging to
Great Britain have been fitted with it.
Many lives and much property have
been saved with its assistance. The
BOrkum hghtship, belonging 10 the
/ German government, on Borkum rltf,
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.

for the scratches inflicted upon him

Rear Admiral Cromwell and probably
will be in the Mediterranean.
Rear Admiral Cromwell Is now at
Rio and has acknowledged the receipt
of his orders. 1t is expected that the
rendezvous of the ships at the time
they assemble will be Gibraltar.
The European station, although
marked on the naval maps. has not
been in actual existence since just be-
fore the breaking out of the Span
iSh war. Prior TO that time several
ships had been in the Mediterranean,
and the San Francisco and the Ban
croft made a hurried departure from
those waters TO avoid the complica-
tiOns likely 10 ensue when war was de-
clared.
The limits of the station are Port

cludes the Azores and all of the waters
of Europe and North Africa.
The reestabHshment of the Euro
pean station is said TO be entire
" devoid of political significance, and
10 be simply a move in the regular
procedure of the navy TO place the
service in the same condition that il
was prior to the war.

MAUI ATHLETICS.

WAILUKU, May 10.-Athletic sports
thusiastic meeting was held in the Wal
luku court house last night to organize
an association to encourage the athle-
tic field, as well as to form a baseball
organization and other sporting games.
The meeting was called to order at 1880,
and the following officers were elected
l.. NJ. Baldwin, president, Rev. w. Ault
vice. president, G. B. Schraeder secre-
tary, and G. b. Robertson treasurer.
The following were appointed a board
of directors: w. r. Boote, w. H. Corn
well Jr., c. Siemsen, c. Braun and G..
II. Cummings. The association is to be
called the Maui Athletic Association
Mr.. Cornwell, who has been the prime
mover in this direction, stated that so
far, the most suitable baseball grounds
he could find was at Waikapu, and
stated that he could get lease on easy
terms. He however preferred that
committee be appointed to look over the
grounds, and report on same at the next
meeting, which will be held next Mon
day night. 1t was then carried that the
board of directors be appointed a COM
mittee to inspect the grounds, and to
report whether any more suitable place
could be found. Mr.. Cornwell also stat
ed that the ground in question was
large enough to contain baseball dia-
mond, with plenty of fielding space, and
still there would be room for lawn ten
mis- and other games. Adjournment was
taken, to meet again at the courthouse
on Monday evening to hear the report
of the committees.
