WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.


 By the time he was 16, Guglielma Marconi had modelled various instru- ments which were undoubted evidences of his latent genius. They showed an insight into mechanical problems far beyond his years, and were of sufficient promise to be worthy of the encourage ment of his friends. It was not until he was 20, however, that his great life began directing it's energies toward the problems of wireless telegraphy. At that age he became interested in the work of Prof Heinrich Hertz, a Ger man scientist, who, in attempting to discover the nature of electricity, ac- cidentally produced electric, or electro magnetic waves. and detected their presence in the ether by means of wire hoop so broken that the electrici- ty sparkled across the gap. No one, not even Hertz himself, realized the tremendous importance of his discov- cry the nature of electricity, acciden- tally producing electric or electromag- netic waves. and detecting their pres ence in the ether by means of wire hoop so broken that the electricity sparked across the gap. No one, not even Hertz himself, realized the tre- mendous importance of his discov- cry. Men like Professor Lodge. Lord Kelvin Sir William Preece. Popoff,
 and others prominent in electrical sci ence, talked about Hertz's work, and
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-02-25

some of them reproduced his experi- ments. but it remained for this young Italian dreamer to jump across the gap of years of scientific study and make practical the most important dis covery since Faraday invented the in- duction coil. When one remembers that the induction coil made possible the dynamo, electric lights, the tele- graph and the telephone, the signiti- canoe of the comparison Is apparent. HertZ's discovery was the beginning of wireless telegraphy. No one knows that better than Marconi himself. He does not wish the credit of originality in this matter but he deserves all the credit and praise the world can be- stow upon one who has made the ory practical by conquering unexpect- ed difficulties by unremitting persever- ance.
 Marconi read of the work of Hertz early in 1894, when he was barely 20 years of age How the thought came to him that there was q principle which could be applied to communi- cation over great distances no one will know. Looking back on it, in the light of what has been done. the though seems most natural--even ab- surdly simple. Hertz detected a spark in broken hoop. a few feet away
 from the flash of an induction coil
