character and incident and the reciprocal
influence of one on the other have become
familiar that the story is begun.
After that the writing goes fast enough
at an average rate of 1000 words a day
writing in the morning and revising at odd
moments of the day. Thus a long novel
will be written in three months; but. OF

Author of "Sir Richard Calmady."

London Letter.
Lucas Malet' is hard at work on the
big novel which is to follow up her striking
story, 'Sir Richard Calmady." When it
appears in England and America next fall
and winter Mrs. Harrison herself will have
gone to India-not on a first visit-to take
long rest before beginning any further
literary task. Here is an author who be-
lieves i'm keeping her stories fresh for the
audience that reads books rather than
magazines. and one who-and this is even
more Observation-Disclosures in turning, or
allowing others to turn, her novels into
plays

powerful pressure to consent to the drama
tization of ''Sir Richard Calmady, on the
ground that i'm dramatic representation the
aspects of the story which are least pleas
ant, and are minimized in telling Ii in print,
would be forced into unique and injurious
prominence. Loyalty to her art has die
tated her course in this matter, and such
loyalty must be strong when it is blind and
deaf to the temptation of making thou
sands-perhaps many thousands-of dollars
by merely answering yes instead of no.

Marconi is enthusiastic over the success he has
achieved in sending wireless telegraph messages
across the Atlantic ocean from Wellfeet bay to
Poldhu Wales and is arranging TO establish his
system throughout the world. He hopes in time
TO be able, with the aid OF relay stations, TO
send messages west from London to the United
States across Canada to The Pacific coast, across
the Pacific to China or Siberia and then on TO
London. Arrangements for the Canadian sta
tons have been perfected, and 1t is the hope of
the inventor that before many years pass he
will. literally speaking. be able to shoot COM
mercial messages around the globe at far less
cost than by cable and overland wire. The recent
exchange OF messages between President Roose-
Welt and King Edward was regarded as con-
vincing proof that the wireless system will soon
become as fixed In the business world the
land and marine telegraph are now. Above is
published the very first authentic snapshot OF the
Marconi system at Wellheet. Alongside is tho
first group photograph OF the great inventor and
his assistants.
