Hhy that takes place in the
world OF progress. it would
- - indeed seem from a mere
chronological statement
that this natien has taken a leading
part In the development of what many
have termed the greatest accomplish
Ynent OF modern times wireless teles-
raphy. Guglielmo Marconi has an
nounced that he has received across the
Atlantic the long expected signal from
Europe, and the unthinking promptly
accord 60 him all the honors of IN"
wonderful achievement; but without
wishing TO deprive him of ANY ~ his
hard won laureis, historical verify de-
mands that we GO back beyond Marconi
for the moving causes of this modern
miracle.

fher but the great American philuso-
pher furnished the hypothe>es for al
who came after him when, $50 years
ago next June, he performed his IA
NOUS feat OF drawing lightning from
the sky. IL might be said, again, that
the electrical kite itself was not his
own invention. but that of a French
man the year before Franklin made his
experiment
Franklin. how did more than
merely experiment. for he previously
arrived by pure reason at the conclu-
sion which The experiment proved-thet
atmospheric lightning and tricuohal
electricity were Identical. Even the an
.ients centuries ago knew OF JoVe's
shunderbolts and atmospheric electric
ity. but nobody could ten the why ana

dersianding Ike Hash. Then At was

More than any other man Of his time,
after Franklin. the cause of electro
magnetism was indebted for its further

seph Henry. Iie published theories OF
