AN ELECTRICAL PIONEER.

H UNDEE, Scotland, has just unveiled a monu-
! ment erected to the memory OF. James Bow
- man Lindsay, who his fellow citizens proudly
claim to have been the worlds pioneer in applying
electricity to the OF mankind 1t is said of him
that he anticipated by half century not only cleo
trio lighting and electric power Distribution but wire
less telegraphy well.
In brief biographical sketch of Lindsay given in
the London Chronicle it is stated that in 1884 he
promulgated his views of electric energy and its uti
ity, and made experiments in sending messages
across the Tay without wires. In the same year he
went to London and submitted his theories and his
experiments to the British Association, but nothing
resulted from the visit One of the scientists of that
time who served the committee appointed to in
vestigate Lindsays inventions is still living, and in
explanation of the failure to profit by them recently
said that there was in 1884 demand for such ap-
pliances He argue that invention
be of service must be produced at the appropriate
moment. If it be premature it is useless Lindsay
had the misfortune to be ahead of his time. Instead
of being hailed by the whole civilized world as Mar
conf is to-day, and gaining honors and being en-
riched by his invention. he died obscure and gets
nothing but monument in his native town.
The fortune of the Scottish inventor is by no means
singular. Many supposed invention of our
time is but revival of something that was known
ages ago but useless in the civilization that then
prevailed OF course any credit given to Lindsay by
no means detracts from the honor due to Marconi.
There is no evidence that the experiments of 1884
resulted in anything which would be of practical
value even now Lindsay managed to strike out
theories that were far in advance of his time but
Marconi, in competition with hundreds of the
brightest scientists and mechanical inventors has
been first to devise system of wireless telegraphy
that meets the need of his age and is practically val
liable 1t is, in fact, the achievement of Marconi
that has been the occasion of the erection of the
monument to Lindsay. The Scotchman and his in
ventions were forgotten even in his own land until
the marvels wrought by the young Italian revived ar
interest in the bygone experimenter and made. his
townsmen feel that something of honor is due to the
memory OF the man who fifty years ago did in some

THE MCKINLEY MEMORIAL.

H URING the week that followed the death of
| / President Mckinley there started for
- the erection of memorial to him almost as
many movements as there cities in the United
States. Even considerable number of compara-
lively small towns undertook some such enterprise
Certainly there is not State in the Union that did
not have one or more of them
These movements the natural results of the
sorrow of the people, and there is nothing to be said
against any Of them 1t is inevitable, however, that
most of them should die away and be heard of no
Only few OF them will live to go forward to
the accomplishment OF such memorials as will attest
to future generations the love which to-day the
American people feel for the great statesman SO
cruelty murdered while in the administration of his
high office.
Among those that are now reasonably certain of
ultimate is the movement started in San
Francisco. The contributions already made to the
fund give ample assurance of coming success It is
gratifying, moreover, that most of the donations
have in comparatively small amounts, showing
that the movement is supported by the people as
whole, and that when the memorial is completed it
will in the truest represent the popular heart
of San Francisco.
The one danger to be feared now is that for one
reason another the movement may be permitted
drag until its original impulse is largely lost The
bad results OF delay in of this kind were strk
ngly shown in the history of the movement started
to erect monumental tomb for Grant in New York
That work was eventually accomplished in a majestic
manner and the tomb is now the greatest structure
of its kind in the world; but so long were the New
Workers engaged in raising money for it that times
it seemed as if the monument would never be COM
peted at all. Let us do things promptly Be
fore the holidays come ought to have in the
memorial fund sum large enough to justify the
committee in beginning to get plans for the monu-
ment, that within reasonable time we may see
the work completed end standing ornament to
our city and proof o. the patriotic lberalty of our
people.

Y gathered at Tiburon yesterday
morning officially opened the bay
shore road from Tiburon to San
Rafael. About the noon hour they rested
under the trees at California City. Then
they forgot the magnificent county high
way for a time and opened more bottles
than even the very hot day provoked
The ride over the new road was the busi-
ness of the celebration. The lunch at
California City was the entertainment
Both were successful.
At 10 o'clock sharp, seemingly every
bus in Marin County, with an intersper-
siop of blggies and other vehicles of
nondescript character. crowded the lib
uron depot. From several points OF the
county, but particularly from San Ra-

the new road had collected for the hrst

nounced the chief pride of Marin.
