MWOhDERFUL TRIUMPH FOR WIRELESS POWER

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-In the
rush Of the new wonders of the air
don't overlook Mark o. Anthony.
1t looks as IL he may prove the
greatest wonder of them all.
Two years ago he went to the
workshop of Leo Stevens, balloon
maker, and said:
IF you'll make me dirigible bal

troll It perfectly from the ground"
Stevens, after hearing Anthony's
ideas, agreed to the bargain.
While he was making the ship
Anthony was perfecting his ideas.
The other day a wonderful test
was made.
At Sandy Hook Stevens released
his dirigible balloon. 1t was fitted
with Anthony's apparatus. It was
like turning $4,000 loose in the air.
Anthony sat at table containing
his wireless electrical apparatus.
The ship started up and out over
the ocean, with rush. Anthony
pushed key around to "a" High
up in the air the propeller of the
airship began to whirl. 1t carried
the ship down to a lower level.
Now I'll turn it to the right"
said Anthony. He pushed the key
around to another number, and, up
against the sky, the beholders saw
the airship veer.
Now We'll let it go way out"
said Anthony. "I'll bring it back"
- Far, far out to sea ii went at a
height of over 1000 feet.
The thread which was attached
to it showed that it was 1000, over
a mile, out over the water, when

To the establishment of the be-
holders, the airship, then only a
dot, wavered in the sky, turned.
and headed back toward shore.
Gradually it grew larger in the
vision of the watchers, and finally
it came in from over the sea and
settled on the sands, almost at the
place from which it had assembled.
Its only the wireless transmits

new airship will be equipped with q
compressed air engine that will run
for eight hours"

After a day spent in dedicating a
monument to Oliver Lott, a de-

the town were Mortified Sunday
morning to find that vandals had
overturned and broken the
memorial. The perpetrators of the
