FOUND FAME IN YOUTH
MARcoNi YOUNG m YEARs-'S
GREAT IN RENoWN.
Inventor Of Wireless TeIegraphy NOW
10 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 teieg-
raphy. is only forty-one years oid.
True, all talk of the present as tine
age of young men," and when Marconi
broke into fame everyone remarkeo'
How young he isl" But so much mas
come out of his Harvesting OF inc
ether forces. 50, many big events ana
developments, that 1t sees as II Mar
conf could be no longer young. Ana
he is yet hardly over forty.
In boyhood Marconi showed ability
in mechanics somewhat above that Oh
the average lad. but until ne 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. HE'LL
rich Hertz. a German scientist wno'
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 80 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 ana
make practical the most important
discovery since Faraday invented the
induction coil. The thought came to
Marconi that here was a 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 q spark In broken hoop. q
few feet away from the fash OF an
induction coil. Why didn't he get q
better detector than a broken hoop
and better transmitter than small
induction coil. and send out flashes
in such a manner that the detector
would record a message? The only
answer is, he didn't do It. Why didn't
Lodge or Kelvin or Pierce or any one

lie Hertz's discovery? The answer II,
they didn't.
II remained for q young man. UNI

sibilities. He expected someone else
to do 1t. he waited for someone else
to do 1t. He did not know when Il
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 ne academic or scien-
tific degree. But genius burned within
him. and he began to experiment for
himself. That was in December, 1884,

DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair. don't

which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.

pure and entirely greaseless It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
