AMERICAN FIRST IN FIELD
MahIon LOOMS Of Massachusetts Had
Idea Of Wireless Long Before
Marconi Perfected It,

Mahlon LOOMS, who lived in West
Springfield Mass, is credited with
having sent the first aerial message in
1865, thus antedating Marconi, who
did not begin his experiments until
1895.
In 1872 LOOMS obtained a patent
for his system of aerial telegraphy,
and would today probably have been
heralded as the dscoverer of wireless
telegraphy il he had been given prop
er financial support and encourage
ment from the public, instead Of be-
ing rdlculed. AS 1t was, congress
passed the LOOMS aerial telegraph
bill" in 1878, appropriating $4,000 for
further development, but the sum
never reached LOomis.
LOOmis made the first public demon
stration of wireless possibilities in
1866 from the peaks of the Blue
Ridge mountains in Virginia, IA miles
apart. A kite was raised from each
mountain with q copper wire attached
to a telegraphing apparatus, and the
message sent by LOOmis was received
at the other station as though the two
had been connected by wires.
LoOmis also made successful expert
mentS communicating between vessels
in Chesapeake bay. The vessels were
stationed about two miles apart, and
on each was a telegraph apparatus.
Wires were attached to the instru-
ments with their other ends thrown
into the water at a moderate depth.
Another insulated wire of much great
err strength was thrown into a cold
stratum Of water. These two strata
connected with the same battery made
a complete circuit.

Convenience


To the many interested in the Long

est. 1t is taken from a recent issue of
the Burlington Free Press.
Professor Win S. Monroe returned

clair, N, J., Monday morning. Profess
sor Monroe spent AZ days in labor on
the section of the Long Trail that
bears his name. The entire length of
the Monroe Skyline from Cancels
Hump to Middlebury Gap (43 miles
was cleaned, mile arrows put up
along the mountain path, and the
blazes reprinted. A new lodge of the
Swiss Alpine club type was erected
at Cowles Cove. This lodge was named
in honor OF Clarence p Cowles Esq,
of Burlington, who co-operated gen
erously with Professor Monroe in the
construction of his trail. The lodge
at Birch Glen was enlarged by an
addition and pole hunks and a stove
installed. The lodge at Cooley Glen
was re-roofed, the covering of the lodge
having been entirely eaten up by por-
cupines during the past winter Camp
stoves have been installed in all the
lodges along the line of the Monroe
Skyline Trail.
In his trail operations the past sum-
mer, Professor Monroe depended large
ly upon volunteer labor, most of the
workers being members of the Green
Mountain club, His helpers included

sor Monroe reports that the section
of the trail that he has built has been
much more extensively used by mixers

year that he has done trail work in
the Green Mountains.
AT an early date a new shelter CT
the Swiss Alpine club type will be
erected at Dean Panorama on the
Stark mountain in honor OF Theron s.
Dean of Burlington and as a tribu e
to his generous help in the building of
the Monroe Skyline during the past
five years. This lodge will be built
from free-will offerings of New York
friends of Mr. Dean. Another lodge
is contemplated by the New York
section for Burnt Hill to break the
long hike between the Plead Lake
Lodge of the Middlebury section and
the Emily Proctor Lodge of the New
York section With the contemplated
additions, lodges and shelters on the
Monroe Skyline TraIl will not be more
than tk~ee or four miles apart.

Making Study Of cenetlcs,

In order to learn more about inner
itance in cattle and other animals, In
formation is wanted by L. ]. Cole, OF
the genetics department Of the Wis
consln college of agriculture, about
the similarity Of the duplicate parts
of double monsters, such as double
headed calves, or calves with one head
and two bodies. This will help In a
study Of twlnnlng and other related
phenomena.
This information can best be OBJ
tanned, says Mr.. Cole, from specimens
with white markings, where cOmpar-
Ison can be made of the extent and
shape Of the two parts. These freaks
are often mounted or preserved and
the genetics department would appre-
ciate information as to where photo
graphs or sketches can be obtained.
