NEW IDEAS BY MARCONl.
II. Brings Four Inventions for His Wireless
System.

New York (SpeciaD.-According to
William Marconi. who arrived here on
the Canard liner Lucania. the system OF
sending wireless mes sages 10 any nee
cssary distance under any conditions
has been perfected. and within three
months his company will accept com
mcrc;;l mes sagcs for transmission to
Europe.
OF most Importance is his positive
statement that one ~ Jour new nvcn-
tons he brings with him will make ii
impossible Tor rival to interfere with
the sending or receipt oi messages.
When told OF the interference a rival
company is said TO have created in the
reporting OF the yacht races Tuesday
So that his instruments were powerless
to receive bulletins on the races. Sig
nor Maconi laughed and said that with
the new inventions all that would be
impossible He had so perfected his
system that any number OF instruments
could be flashing messages through the
same space and they would not III any
way interfere with his own.

further increase that splendid lead on
the run back to the finish line and then
to have the wind weaken and the time

utes would have brought the Stakeboats
abcam-such was the exasperating end
OF Mondays struggle over the Sandy
Hook cup course.
The moral OF this story lies in the
pity OF it. Some thousands OF eyes
were focused on the leader as she
ncared the line and some thousands OF
hopes were registered that the languid
breeze then blowing would quicken.

Its Odor Drives Them OF.

The Department of Agriculture is in
vestigating the virtues of the ocimumvi-
rides. plant from Northern Nigeria.
and experts say that if all that is claimed
be proved ocimumvirides will soon be all
the rage as decorations for entertain
ments and dinners during the summer
social season
II is conceded it is not as beautiful as
Bride roses or orchids. but it will re-
move mosquitoes. and in this fact its
popularity is expected to lie. Place a
pot of ocimumvirides on the dining room
table or the veranda of summer cot
tage and the mosquitoes will leave and
not return so long as the plant is around.
Mosquitoes object to the odor the plant
exudes. This resembles thymian and
eucalyptus. The department. before Civ
ing its unqualified Endorsement to the
ornamental mosquito exterminator. is
first going to find ont if the insects will
cultivate a liking for it,
