HERTZ THE REAL DIscovERER
Mareoni Made Practical Success OF
the Wireless, but Was Not First
In the Field.

The principle of wireless 'telegraphy
Is easily eomprehended As is known
light ana heat move in waves whose
lengths can be measured. Thus, the
sun gives out in every direction light
in a series of undulating waves which
may not only be measured, but can be
detected, polarized. and so on. Some
idea of this may be gained from
the well-known fact that when stone
is thrown into smooth pool of wa
ter a series Of circular waves extends
In all directions. II any floating OBJ
iect comes within these waves they
are oscilated.
II was the lamented Prof. Hertz
who discovered that electricity, Ike
light and heat. also moves in waves
which may be measured. Just precise
ly how these waves pass through the
atmosphere is not wholly understood,
but it is believed that they have some
relation to ether, which is omnipres-
ent and which is believed TO constitute
all matter under different negative
electrical conditions. In wireless tel
egraphy a series of Hertzian waves
are set up by powerful electrical dyna-
mos L. batteries, and these are dis
charged from the top Of high mast
or pole. These waves extend in all
directions, and, unless their force is
expended by distance they excite GER
tain effects in the receiver of wireless
telegraph instruments within the zone,
just as the waves disturb chips on a
pool. Messages are sent and received
somewhat on the plan Of ordinary
Morse code by wires. in that electrical
impulses are regulated SO as to spell
words according to a code.
To Marconi belongs the credit OF
making a practical success CT tho dis
coveries of others, but TO Hertz be-
longs the credit Of making the sys-
tenn possible.
