FOUND FAME IN YOUTH
MARCONl YOUNG IN YEARS-lS
GREAT IN RENoWN.
Invento? Of Wireless Telegraphy Now
Is but Forty-One Years OId-How
the Great Idea Came to
His Mind.

1t is almost startling to be told that
Marconi, the inventor of wireless teleg-
raphy, is only forty-one years old.
True, all talk of the present as the
age Of young men," and when Marconi
broke into fame everyone remarked:
How young he isl But so much has
come out of his Harvesting of the
ether forces, so many big events and
developments, that it sees as il Mar
conf could be no longer young. And
he is yet hardly over forty.
In boyhood Marconi showed ability
the average lad, but until he was
twenty he knew little more of cleo
tricity than most youths of his age.
1t was then, however, that he became
interested in the work of Prof. Helm
rich Hertz, German scientist, who,
in attempting TO discover the nature
of electricity, accidentally produced
electromagnetic waves and detected
their presence in the ether by means
of a wire hoop so broken that the
electricity spanked across the gap.
Not even Hertz himself realized the
tremendous importance of his discov-
cry. Men like Professor Lodge. Lord
Kelvin and Sir William Pierce talked
of it, but it remained for the young
Italian dreamer to jump across the
gap Of years of scientific study and
make practical the most important
discovery since Faraday invented the
induction coil. The thought came to
Marconi that here was principle
which should be applied to communi-
cation over great distances.
The idea. as we look back on it
now, seems absurdly simple. Hertz
detected a spark in broken hoop, a
few feet away from the fash of an
induction coil. Why didn't he get a
better detector than q broken hoop
and better transmitter than a small
induction coil, and send out flashes
in such a manner that the detector
would record a message? The only
answer is, he aidn't do it. Why didn't
Lodge or Kelvin or Pierce or any one
of the hosts of famous scientists util-
ize Hertz's discovery? The answer is,
they didn't.
1t remained for a young man, I'M
known and inexpert, to grasp the pos
sibilities. He expected someone else
to do it, he waited for someone else
to do 1t. He did not know when it
would be, for the surprising reason
that to him the great scientists were
unnamable. He was not acquainted
with their work or even their names
except Hertz's. He was not an cleo
trician. He had no academic or scien-
life degree. But genius burned within
him, and he began to experiment for

EVER TRY A LILY BED?
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.

Choose a well-drained spot for them,
and if possible, where the flowers will
have a background of evergreens.
shrubs or screen of living green to
show off their pale beauty. a back
ground of climbing plants is also good
Dig the bed two feet and throw into
the excavation, rubbish, tin cans, old
shoes, rocks, brickbats, and the like,
insuring drainage, as the lily cannot
stand wet feet
Enrich the soil with manure from
the COW stable, worked well into the
soil with sand or sifted ashes. Plant
the bulbs to II inches deep, accord
ing to their size, in pocket of sand.
Just before cold weather sets in,
cover the bed with litter and leaves,
being sure that the winter storms will
not uncover the bed.

PRESENT PLANS FOR FUTURE
BEAUTY
BY EVA RYMAN.GAILlARD.

We who grow plants in our rooms
do so for the beauty of their foliage,
flowers, or both, and get pleasure from
them to just the degree that We can
bring them to their utmost perfection.
TO attain this with plants of any
kind) one must know their character
istics and requirements and consider
home are adapted to the plants de-
sired.
If plant standing in the open beds,
or in sunny, southern windows, is
or brilliantly foliage, do not
get one like it expecting the same re.
suits unless il can have similar con-
ditions. The same results cannot be
secured if the plant is put into a
shaded or northern window.
On the other hand, primulas and
other plants that produce perfect flow.
ers in cool, semishaded rooms, will not
prove satisfactory in a place adapted
to those needing more tropical condi-
tons. The plant-lover who expects TO
have all sorts Of plants grow and
bloom in the same window will GER
tainly be found wondering why some
of them do not come up to expecta-
ton.
Even the texture of the foliage
needs to be taken into consideration,
for rough-leaved plants that are injured
by frequent washings have no chance
to develop beautiful foliage in room
where furniture needs busting every
day.
Space is another factor that makes
for satisfactory window gardening, for
certainly half a dozen plants developed
to perfect form and good size are vast.
ly more beautiful than twice that num-
Der of deformed specimens crowded in.
to the space.
The question as to whether plants
should be turned or not is frequently
asked. and some people say: "Oh,
don't turn them, they will not bloom
and so on. After years of working
among plants l hold this opinion on
the subject; Plants grown solely for
beauty as seen from the outside will
serve the purpose better if never
turned, leaving foliage and flowers
drawn toward the glass, but ordinarily
they are grown for the adornment of
the room and the enjoyment of those
inside, and should be turned often
enough to keep them symmetrical in
shape, for lop-sided plant showing
all its stalks Ito those in the ROOM,
is not very ornamental.
Very often plants are bedded out
for the summer and then potted for
the winter garden window, and almost
often the potting is delayed until
the plants must be taken in or fro
zen; and the result is lot of plants
that need a good share of the winter
IN which to recuperate.
August is none too early to decide
which plants shall be taken into the
window garden, and their treatment
from the time of the decision should
be much as will fit them to make
a fine display during the winter, rath.
er than get the finest present show
ing.
If they are growing where crowded,
sacrifice few branches from the sur
rounding plants i'll order to give them
space for shapely development, then
pinch out the ends of the branches on
the selected plants tO force the fOrma.
ton of lateral branches. These lateral
branches furnish the blooming points
on geraniums and most towering
plants, and the more of them that
can be forced to start, the more how-
ers one has during the winter.

Deaths on the Highways.

During the first six months of the
present year there seems t. have been
an alarming increase in the number OF
deaths and accidents in the public
highways. This increase Is not con.
fined to any character. For instance,
the fatalities due to automobiles in
New York state increased from 1873 in
1914 to 2il this year. In New Jersey

vehicles in use on the highways, but
neither are sufficient to account for
this unreasonable increase in deaths
on the highways Drivers and pedes-
TRANS both have their rights. but the
observance Of ordinary care on the
part Of the man in the vehicle and the
man on foot would undoubtedly cause
a big decrease in the number Of avoid
able deaths, the Philadelphia Inquirer
remarks.

Cheap Gas Generation

Produces gas s'eCtrically at one-half
to one-fourth the cost of generation
by water power, even in a land of
waterfalls, and represents a new tri-
umph in waste saving. Sweden is a re-
gion of wealth in timber as well as of
cheap water power, and the waste
from wood cutting is estimated to be
sufficient for constant supply of
10000 to 100 900 horse power of en-
erCy in addition to the power required
for the sawmills. A new electric
plant for Lejusne is expected to yield
the equivalent If 1900 lorsc power at
a cost CT less than thirteenth of a
cent per kilowatt hour. The full sup
ply Is 9 mixture OF sawdust with ten
