MARCONl, WIZARD
OF WIRELESS, PASSES
FORTIETH MILESTONE.

Gugiielmo Marconi the wizard OF
wireless, passed his fortieth milestone
April 5, and among those who Joined
in showering congratulations upon the
great inventor were many Of the 5000
or more people whose lives have been
saved by his epochal discovery. The
man whom the British Royal Academy
of Sciencee called greater than Co.
iumbus', and who, at 81. discovered
the principles of wireless telegraphy.
was born in Bologna. Italy, April Is.
1914. Italian and Irish blood mingle
In his veins, fo~ his mother was a.
woman of the Emerald isle, and his
children are more Irish than Italian.
as the inventor married the Hon. Bea-
trtce OBrien. daughter Of the thir-
teenth Baron 1nohiQuin, descendant Of
that greatest of Irish kings, Brian
Boru. who was killed in battle nine
centuries ago this month.
When he was a student at the Uni
Versity of Bologna. young Marconi sat
one day by a pond. and idly tossed a.
pebble into the still water. He observ-
ed the waves widening all around, and
u OF that experience came the germ
OF his greet idca-that sound flung In
the air would make waves correspond
ing to those made by a pebble in the
water.
1t is expected. now that he has
reached the 40 mark, that Marconi will
be honored by election to the Italian
senate. He was elected over a year
ago. but vas prohibited from taking
his seat because of the provision that
an Italian senator must be not less
than 40 years of age.
The wireless telephone Is Marconi'a
latest achievement. For several years
the wireless king has been at work ON
the problem Of adia-telephony, and
recently announced hat it is now
practically solved. Already wireless
telephone conversations have been
carried on between land stations LOO
miles distant from each other, and he
tween ships separated by forty miles

Mr.. Marconi recently scored another
important victory when a United
States federal court upheld the valid
ity Of all the patents filed at Wash
ington by the inventor and his asso-
ciates. Mr.. Marconi attended the
hearings Of this suit to establish his
patent rights. and on the witness stand
told Of the development of his inven-
ton from a toy to an international
means # communication, which has
saved thousands of lives at sea, and
which is capable of sending messages
from Ireland to Buenos Ayres. a dis
tance Of 5000 miles.

Who weeps for her who held him

SEED DEEPLY.

Close readers Of Fosters weather
forecasts. published in The Forum,
must have been impressed with accu-
racy with which the professor has hit
the weather this year. AS far back as
January and February he predicted
the spring in this part Of the country
would be backward and that April
would be cold and disagreeable, with
wet weather and storms in the lass
part of the month.
Whether one is inclined to believe
in Professor Foster or not, he must
admit his forecast has been %slngularly
correct.
Three weeks 8 he told of the
storm that has swept over the north
west this week, bringing such splendid
moisture to North Dakota in the form
Of rain. snow and sleet. The accuracy
OF his reports compels attention.
For that aso the farmers of
North Dakota should note some OF
Professor Fosters other predictions.
He stated several weeks ago there
would be no real spring weather. that
is warm weather Of any duration. un-
til about May 10. So far he has been
correct. But the most important part
of his prediction in this connection
was that the latter part of May would
Fbe dry.
This prediction is further strength
I ened by a prediction. published else
where in The Forum this evening.
based on a table issued by Sir Thorn
hronomer. According to H~erschel's
moons influence theory North Da-
kota will have a dry spell from now
until about May "a.
Farmers in North Dakota know
what a lengthy period of dry weather
would seem to be an act of wisdom to
conserve, as far as possible, the mois-
ture now in the soil, and also to seed
what grain remains to be put in the
ground as deeply as possible. The soil
is now in such fine condition deeu
seeding is possible. With the seed we'll
down in the ground and warmer tenn
perat1re coming, the grain will ger
inmate rapidly, even if the weather
should turn dry On top. The grain will
be nearer the moisture and will have
better chances of growth and develop
ment than if merely scratched in just
under the surface.
This is a matter that the farmers
cannot afford to disregard. Deep seed
ing from now On. with a proper con-
.servation of moisture, may mean the
difference between making merely ex-
,penses, or making a profit on the crops
yet to be put in the ground.
