IT Is recorded of Guglielmo Marconi
as a child that he walked at an
= unusually early age and talked at
an unusually late one.
He has retained these early charac-
teristics. Great scientist though he is,
he is essentially an open air man.
The wireless wizard has always de-
lighted in swimming and sailing AS
a young man his love of the latter
sport nearly cost him his life. He is
swift to act when he has made up his
mind. but slow to speak, and even
then sparing of words. His father was
an Italian banker and country gentle
man his mother an Irish lady. AS a
rule, it is not the man born in affiuent
circumstances who do the things that
matter, but Marconi is an exception.
WHEN AT SCHOOL
tits. perhaps. not generally known
that as small boy he spent some
time at a school at Bedford. He is
still remembered there. For one thing
he refused to learn writing as Gus
tomarily taught at school, He said II
was absurd to make him waste time
acquiring style of handwriting
which he would never use when grown
up.
Similarly he outraged scholastic
opinion by refusing to have anything
to do with the parrotlike repetition OF
what he was told.
He would work hard at anything
that interested him, such as physics
But the masters might lead him ever
so often to the pool Of Latin ano
Greek grammar and he would not
drink. Possibly for this reason he did
not stay long at his English school,
but completed his education at the
university of his native Bologna
Here, again, he studied only what
he chose to study
Electricity fascinated him. He was
onlv 16 or so when he Installed elec-
tr;c lights. bells. ETC., in his fathers
house and incidentally got himself
regarded by the local peasantry as
sorcerer.

Yet No One Has Arisen
to Contest the HonorS
of Shakespeare

Yet, despite this fact, no
Shakespeare has arisen to con-
test the honors of the one who
had only fve-thousand-word
tools for his use
Shakespeare did not travel, or
speak many tongues.
Perhaps his power lay in stay
ing with himself, in digging in
his own mind and soul for knowl-
edge and wisdom, and in making
no effort to find unusual words
wherewith to convey his mean
ing.
1t would be interesting to
know just what he would have
done with our vast vocabulary
of words if he had been given
one of the new dictionaries.
But it is more interesting to
realize what he did without these
words. And it is worth thinking
about, whenever we are tempted
to complain, that we lack the
necessities for making success
in any one direction.

BOUND TO WIN
He was young, well off. full OF
life" but he devoted himself to pa
tient study and experiment. 1t was
a great day when he succeeded in
sending a wireless message from one
end of his fathers garden to the
other.
OF his experiences when he brought
his invention to England little need
be said. He was anything but the,
penniless inventor. but at the same
time he met with incredibility and
opposition enough.
However, he was bound to win.
Marconi is essentially a man who
leaves nothing to chance. He prom-
ises nothing that he has not already
satisfied himself he can do. He is a
first rate man or business, anu d Soh-
summate judge of men and motives.
Had he been penniless his success.
though inevitable. might have been
delayed. As it was, he could afford
to take a strong line and to maintain
that sturdy independence which is so
characteristic of him.
To meet. he is a man of great
charm. Very quiet. very simple. very
direct, but a man whose personality
impresses and pleases at once
He has beautiful eyes. large and
luminous, of a hazel which in some
lights look gray, In others dark
brown.
AS the result of an accident he has
lost the sight of one eye, but they say
he can see more out Of the other than
most men of normal vision.
A great man. one whose name will
live forever, but as modest as you
make them. No doubt he has made
great deal of money. but far above
gold does he value his great inven-
tion.

New York, Nov 8.-The first def

of Democrats in opposition to Tam
many Hall was made when the execu-

Jeffersonian alliance tonight decided
to take steps to make the alliance a
continuing political body. The name
OF the organization probably will be
changed.
The alliance was formed and the
present name adopted merely for the
purpose of the recent city election,
eight independent Democratic organ
cations uniting in the movement. The
casting of 25,OO0 votes under its EN-
blem convinced the leaders, Chairman
Bert Hanson says, that the party
should be continued and enlarged.
