Most Popular Character.

Charles Dickens once received an
invitation to a walter Scott" party
each guest being expected to attend
in the character of one or another OF
Scott's heroes. On the eventful night
however, greatly to the astonishment
of the assembled Rob Roys and Wa
verleys, Dickens turned up in ordinary
evening dress and apparently quite
unconcerned. At length the host, who
was feeling uneasy, came up to the
novelist and inquired:
"Pray, Mr.. Dickens, what character
of Scott's can you possibly be sup
posed to representa-"
Character" said Dickens. why
sir, character you will find In every
one of Scott's novels. IT, he went on
smilingly, "am the gentle reader"

HERTZ THE REAL DlsCovERER
Marconl Made Practical Success Of
the Wireless, but Was Not First
In the Field.

The principle of wireless telegraphy
easily comprehended. AS is known
light and heat move in waves whose
lengths can be measured. Thus, the
sun gives out in every direction light
In series of undulating waves which
may not only be measured, but can be
detected, polarized, and so on. Some
dea of this may be gained from
he well-known fact that when a stone
ter series of circular waves extends
in all directions. If any floating OBJ
lect comes within these waves they
are oscillated.
1t was the lamented Prof. Hertz
who discovered that electricity, like
light and heat, also moves in waves
which may be measured. Just precise
y how these waves pass through the
atmosphere is not wholly understood,
out 1t is believed that they have some
relation to ether, which is omnipres-
snt and which is believed to constitute
an matter under different negative
electrical conditions. In wireless tel

are set up by powerful electrical dyna-
mos or 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 code.
To Marconi belongs the credit Of
making a practical success of the dis
coveries of others, but to Hertz be
longs the credit OF making the sys
tenn possible.

and round in circle, taking me for its
