McCLURE'S FOR DECEMBER.
Clever Marconi Fiction i'm the Decem-
Der Number.

The story ~tellers follow hard on the
heels of the inventors. An extremely
clever bit of fiction a la Marconi is "Mr
Potter's Vacation" by Herbert ID.
Ward, in the December McClure's. 1t
is the history of a great battle in stocks
fought from the deck of an ocean liner.
One thousand miles of ether were kept
hot for W. days with long orders to
buy and sell. Mr.. Potter won, OF
course, but the author was probably
guilty of irony in speaking of the trip
as a vacation.
