| Marconi says that when he wishes to
bridge distances, and 1t is not necessary
that signals be sent in any definite d.

connected by wire, one with the earth
and the other with a vertical conductor
Of some height, called the aerial con,

When he wishes to direct beam of
rays in a given direction he uses a cy-
lindrical parabolic reflector placed in
the proper focal line.
The system of operation is simple.
The key is pressed and the electrical
current is discharged through the
spark gap between the spheres. The
discharge is an oscillabing one. The
spheres and conductor become a raiia-
tor of electrical waves. BY pressing the
ordinary telegraph key at long or shors
Intervals long or short waves are made.
These affect the distant receiver at long
or short intervals, producing the dots

all receivers within distance; with re
Electors it is possible to throw the cleo

URGES sELF-RELlANT WOMEN.
DR.. Savage Advocates Education and
Liberty for Them.

Dr.. Savage Advocates Education and
Liberty for Them.
New York. April 14.-In his sermon
Sunday the Rev. DIR. Savage, pastor OF
the Church of the Messiah, said:
Il believe that the woman who is
independent financially, who can earn
her own living. who can stand on her
own feet. and is Intelligent enough so
that she understands the conditions OF
life is thousand times more likely to
make wise and happy marriage, to
be true mate for her husband and a
noble mother for her children.
"At the present time thousands of
women are trained with the idea that
they must be married. because there
is no other career open to them that
is respectable and that benefits their
station; and they are incapable OF tax
ing care of themselves, of standing on
their own feet, and leading their own
lives; so that they feel they must mar
nv whether they find the right man
whom they can really love or not.
II believe that there will be more
true, noble, ideal, happy homes when
women are not compelled to marry, but
are free to choose some one whom they
can both love and respect. So it seems
to me that the elevation of the home
is to be looked for along the lines OF
the higher education and the larger
liberty of women. Once in while
hear that men are opposed to women
working. because they say they are
encroaching upon their opportunities
for a livelihood. This is precisely the
same kind of argument which has al
ways been advanced by unwise and
nearsighted laborers against the intro
duction of machinery. They have
said; If you introduce machinery you
Will take the work away from the la
borers. and they will starve,' but the
world has gone on, and more and more
and finer and more efficient machinery
has been introduced. Has it taken work
away from people? 1t has made pos
sible a hundred times more work.
II believe that every girl no matter
how rich her father is should have the
finest education he can possibly give
her, and that she should be taught
some specific. definite way of earning
her living.
