MARcoNr's RINGING BELLS

story OF One of the Inventors EARLY
Achievements.
An interesting story is told of Gug-
glielmo Marconi when he was a stu
dent and in lodgings at Leghorn. writes
the Rome correspondent of the London
Advertiser. Residing in the same house
were two gymnasium teachers, and
one day the landlady had the house
fitted up with electric bells and asked
her dodgers if they were satisfied with
the new arrangement. That's all
right" replied Marconi, but it was not
necessary for the electrician to disturb
as all day by upsetting the house with
his wires. Why, I'll engage to set a
bell ringing In a few minutes without
wires"
The gymnasium teachers were In
clined to regard this as an empty boast.
But Marconi held fast to his assertion.
The teachers then challenged him to
make a bell ring without the use Of
wires and said that IL he could not do
30 they would proclaim him as a boast
or. "Come to my room tomorrow morn
Ing" said Marconi, land you will have
proof Of what I say" The teachers
duly appeared. Marconi gave one q
broomstick, to which he attached a
bell, and asked him to place his ZAP
paratus' In any corner he liked. To
the other he gave a bell only, with
instructions to put Ii down wherever
he liked. He placed It upon the bed.
then upon the table and finally upon
the sideboard.
Immediately the bell was laid down
ft began to ring. Both the teachers
then ran round the room with their
hands In the air, graspfng for wires
which they thought were invisible.
They grew tired OF searching for the
wires, but they would not acknowledge
themselves either conquered or con-
vinced. Finally they left the room and
ran mp and down the street without
saying a word. They held up their
heads and shook themselves as though
anxious to get rid OF some evil magic.
AT last one Of them spoke. did you
wee how he got the best OF us?" he
asked. 81 should like to know where
the wires were"
