neat, well-groomed young man you
see by the thousands in the streets of
London
ln fact, few men of fame ever
''looked the part'' less than this
wonderful young Italian. His mod
esty, too, amounts aImos to diff
dence; he will talk charmingly on
any subject but himself, and is ready
to take to his heels at the mere
mention of the word" interviewer. -
And yet he is sufficiently human to
confess that "lt is nice to be famous, -
and to enjoy the fruits of his genius
and industry. Perhaps the most re-
markable thing about him is his
voice, which is soft and low and
musioal-the voice, in fact, OF his
native Italy; and the contrast between
his slow, deliberate mehtod of talking
and his restless, tireless energy when
at work, is as marked as that between
his modesty and his achievement.
He has none of the eccentricities
which seem to be the usual accom-
paniment of genius. When be was
once asked whether, like Edison, be
was ever so absorbed in his work that
he forgot to eat, he answered, "I
think never. You see, my stomach
always cries out at the proper
moment, andI always hasten to obey
Its call; 'ssand to the question, "YSu
wouldn't have starved for wireless
telegraphy?" he replied, with {
smile, "No, indeed; have too good

MARCONI THE MAGICIAN.
The Romantic Story of the Great
Inventor,

10 become famous IN HV6 cOnCl-
nents at twentyfouI, and to crown
this rare feat by winning for his wife
such good fortune as falls to the lot
of few men in generation. And yet
this is but part of the wonderful
achievement of Gugllelmo Marconi,
who has led one of Lord Inchiquin g
fair sisters to the altar and is spend
ing part of his honeymoon, by the
invitation of King Humbert, in the
principal royal palace of Italy.
If ever a man was justified in count
ing himself the favored child of for
tune, surely it is this young Italian,
who leaped in four short years from
obscurity to fame, and who. while
still IN the twenties, has made his
name "household word" all the
world over. And, perhaps an equally
remarkable thing, he remains as un
spoilt as when he was an obscure
student at Bologna, Italy, and spent
his spare hours dabbling in chem
istry in the laboratory in his fathers
house at Griffore. In those days
and they are only ten years removed
from now-he was deeply interested
in electricity, but only as hobby. :.
81 had fitted up rude laboratory,
or Workshop he says, ''in my
fathers house near Bologna. where
L had begun to work with primary
batteries and thermopiles, graphing
with the problem which has puzzled
so many inventors-a method of
transforming heat directly into
electricity. ] had also experimental
with the utilization of steam in
engines, and had likewise been deep
ly interested in chemistry. ''But he
had then no more idea of fame or OF
the direction in which it would come
to him than the man in the moon.
1t was the reading, in 1894 in an
Italian journal of the work of Pro-
fessor Hertz that first suggested the
idea of sending messages through
space by means of etheric waves; but,
as he says, "the idea seemed so sim
pie and evident to me that at first l
had no thought of attempting prac
tical experiments to demonstrate its
possibility, because l knew there
we're many clever men in the world
experimenting with etheric waves,
and l thought some one would quick
ly work out the problem.
1t is characteristic of the unseltish-
ness and modesty of the man that he
actually waited nearly year to give
others chance of taking the palm
which he knew he had but to stretch
out his hand to make his own; and 1t
was only when there was no sign of
its being appropriated that he began
to make his experiments, and quickly
succeeded IN sending aerial messages
couple of miles across his fathers
estate. What has happened since
those prentice days-how he has
since winged messages across the
wide Atlantic, has made it possible
tor ships to hold converse a thousand
miles apart, and how, in fact, he
has, with almost a wizards magic,
annihilated space-the world knows.
And what kind of a man is this
magician who has still to see his
thirtieth birthday? This is how he is
described by one who knows him
we'll: ga slight young man of
medium height, but who scarcely
looks it, with brown hair, cut short,
and parted at the side, slight brown
mustache, deep-set blue eyes, and a
look of boyishness which he never
seems to outgrow. Just the kind of

How to Drive Rats from Houses.

There are other effective means
besides the destruction of a rat to
prevent his living in houses. The
rat has very sensitive foot, covered
by very delicate integument, which
is burned by unslacked lime, If we
sprinkle the holes and runways of the
rat with unslaoked lime he will de-
sert the houses. He is also very
thirsty animal, and If we cut off his
sources of water he will desert the
region.

Boy Grew Too Fast.

Growing so rapidly that his stomach
was unable to assimilate enough
food, Berthold Weinhagen, Jr., a
Milwaukee boy, died in Denver,
Colo, recently. With his parents
and sister, the boy was on his way to
New Zealand, where it was hoped he
would improve in health. His case
has puzzled a number of the best
physicians, for, though but IA, he
had grown feet in a year, being
feet l inch in height when he died.
Instances have been frequent in
which patients have become seriously
ill because of too rapid growth, but
few in which this has caused death.
1t is believed the boy literally starv.
ed to death.

Peculiarities Of Lichens.

The lichen is remarkable for the great
age to which it lives, there being good
grounds for believing that they endure
as long as a hundred years. Their
growth is exceedingly slow, almost be-
yond belief, Indicating that only Il little
nourishment is necessary to keep them
alive. In a dry time they have the pow
er to suspend growth altogether, renew
ing it again at the fall of rain. This
popularity alone Is enough to make the
lichen a vegetable wonder, as 1t Is a
property possessed by no other species
of plant. Another interesting fact about
lichcns is that they grow only where
the air Is free from dust and smoke.
They may be said to be a sure indica-
ton of the purity of the air, as they are
never found growing in cities and
towns, where the atmosphere Is impreg-
mated with dust, SCOT, smoke and other
impurities.

Birds while still in the egg have a
sharp, horny spike attached to the up

which they are assisted in breaking
out of the shell. This prominence be-
comes opposed to the shell at various
points In Il line extending all around
the egg at about One-third of the eggs

series of little holes, thus weakening
the shell, and when the chick arrives
at a certain stage of strength and de-
