is "A Brief History of Wireless" and
the other How Pictures Are Sent. by
Radio"
According to Mr.. Verrill, the first
successful attempt to transmit pic
lures by radio was made in 1908 by
Hans Knudson. who succeeded in
sending radio pictures even before
any practical way had been devised
10 transmit them over wires. Mr..
k1udson's process was very crude
and was quite different from the
later mechanical electrical devices.
After going into details as TO the
various processes used. how attempts
haVe been made to improve on some
of the tests. Mr.. Verrill says:
There is room for vast improve
ments in this or similar processes
for sending pictures by radio. and
as the instruments are really very
simple it should be fine and in
teresting field for amateurs and
boys who wish to experiment. Very
often most valuable and interest
ing discoveries are made by
novices. and it is not at all beyond
the range of possibility. or even
probability. that the first really
commercially practical apparatus
for sending pictures by wireless
will be invented by a beginner or a
boy.

The mild climate and light soils of

Farmers should take advantage OF
this, not only as a means of diversi-

but also for rapid soil improvensnt.
