IT seems to make very little diff
ference these days how . public
official conducts himself, Ii 1
stands show TO avoid criticism
Mhetriesto discharge bis duty some
body bobs Up and accuses him Of

riety or be wants . bigger, better
Office, playing 70 the galleries--ir
fact, bis motives are anything but
sincere. All of this Is certainly
very encouraging (5)to q man who
may be making on honest effort to
discharge the duties be owes to q
sacred, public trust with which he
has been entrusted BY the people.
The fellow who holds an Office and
does nothin but draw his pay and
wink at the violations Of the law,
sits back and laughs in bis sleeve at
ne man who u making an honest
efSort to discharge bis duties andis,
~ the same time, the butt ot these
discouraging criticisms. We do
not believe in hero worship Or sIob-
bsring over anybody, but il there
ls anything that We mortals need,
pore than anything eIss, il Is en-.
eOutagement to do that which Is
honorable and right. But there Isl

WIRELESS IS TEN YEARS OLD.
Great Strides Made In q Single Decade or
Experiment.

-
Wireless telegraphy Is now ten years
old. On June 2, 1895, there wal filed in
the British patent Office a provisional
specification "for improvements in trans
hitting electrical impulses and signals
and in apparatus therefor" by one Gugli-
elmo Marconi, residing at II Hereford
road, Bayswater, England.
At the time this patent was applied for,
says the Scientific American, the art OF
transmitting MESA ges without wires was
wholly unknown, in SO far as its practice
and utilization were concerned.
Marconi was perhaps the most persistent
e1perlmenter in the bridging Of greater
ment Of the new telegraphy Lodge turned
his attention to thep production Of a s~electivs
system by means OF electrical resonance.
The former succeeded 30 we'll in his task
that from three miles in 1897 he was enabled
to send and receive signals 5000 miles in
evolve a commercially selectfve apparatus,
led the way for the timing Of the sending
and receiving circuits Individually, and
s~yntonizing them collectively.
Another important feature OF recent
date is the utilization OF auto-detectors in
receptors for the translation of incoming
electric waves into the alpha bette code
Of dots and dashes.
De Forest was probably the first in tho
commercial field to use the auto-detevtor
and telephone receiver, while F~essenden
has conferred a lasting benefit upon science
and humanity by his ingenious dctector,
the liquid barretter, an instrument that "
