Wireless Telegraphy.
(From the Literary Digest.)

(From the Literary Dgest)
"This is not an inaugural" said Mr. Marconi on
October IL, after messages amounting to 10000 words
had been sent back and forth across the Atlantic
by the system of wireless telegraphy, of which he
is the inventor; and he went to remind the in
erviewer that the real opening took place two years
ago. when wireless telegrams-or aerograms, as the
London dispatches call them-were exchanged by
his system between the President and the King. The
Transatlantic service, however, was not opened for
commercial purposes until the middle of this month";
the interim being devoted by Mr.. Marconi princi-
pally to the perfectng of more sensitive receiver
So we'll has he succeeded apparently, that during
the transmission of 10000 words the 18th not
one word had to be repeated The service now
opened is between Port Morien, Glaze Bay Nova
Scotia, and Cfden County Galway, Ireland. The
press rate is at present cents word the CONNER
cia rate 10 cents. Probably the last long distance
cable has been laid" remarks the New York Ameri-
cam "and it may be that the day is not far off when
from a single great Marconi central station some
thing like a worldwide telephone system will ra-
diate, uniting the uttermost ends OF the earth IN
one great network Of mysterious waves. The
striking and really very important fact in connec-
ton with the opening of the Marconl system to
commercial messages, says the New York Times,
is the great reduction in their cost compared with
the cable rates that have long prevailed. To
quote further
"For years there has been no advance in the
utility of the cables, measured by lower rates.
To all appearances they incapable of i'm

reductions from SIS a word to rs cents. At one
time rivalry for a while brought the commercial
charge to 10 cents word. But with the adjust

Patrick Henry's Grafton.

GYNDoN ORR, in Munseys)
The most overwhelming of Patrick Henry's great
orations is that which he pronounced before the
vention which met in ST. Johns church at Richmond,
March %, IT'S. Already the mutterings of war
distinct that Henry instead of conceaing the facts,
declared that then on foot
eve must hght!" he said can appeal to and
to the God of hosts is all that is left us"
Curiously enough even of this Grafton there is no
authentic record. Certain sentences, certain stirring
phrases were remembered by many who there;
but the speech as we have it is almost surely restor
alton by William Writ, himself an eloquent and bril-
liant orator. He supplied the gaps in what his in
formants repeated to him. pecing out their recolec
tions with his vivid fancy But the spirit of
Henry flames all through it, and to Henry may be
safely ascrbed such burning sentences as these
II have but one lamp by which my feet guided,
and that is the lamp of experience [ know of no
way of judging the future but by the past"
"Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause
of liberty and in such country as that which
possess invincible by any force which enemy
can send against us"
Gentlemen may cry peace, peace, but there is no
peace!"
"Is life so dear peace sweet, as to be pur-
chased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid
it, Almighty God l know not what others
may take; Dut as 1or me, give me liberty OF give
me DEATH"
AS in the case of all orators of the very first rank
the physical impression made by Henry was as strong
as the intellectual There exists description of his
appearance while delivering this last great speech
description that from who present
at the time. 1t tells how, when Henry and
claimed the floor, there "unearthy fire burn
ing in his eyes. He commenced somewhat calmly,
but his smothered excitement began and more
to play upon his features and thrill in the tone of
his voice. The tendons of his neck stood out white
and rigid like whpcords. Finally, his pale
face and glaring eyes became terrible to look upon"
The witness of the who gave this vivid picture
said that he himself "felt sick with excitement"
When the orator had finished his speech "it seemed
as if word from him would have led to any wild
explosion of violence. Men looked beside them
selves"

The tie-up takes two daily passen-
