actual productions had. To be coldly
accurate, Marconi up until this time
had not startled the world.
In July, 1896, he was introduced to
Sir William Preece, chief electrical en-
gineer for the British Post Office. At
Sir Williams request the Italian
scientist snapped few characters and
code letters over a distance of 100
yards and later went out to Salisbury
Plain and repeated the operation be-
tween stations one and three-quarter
miles apart.
That introduced Marconi to the
world at large. Other scientists vir
tually dropped their work and has
tened to join the mob of specta-
tors. The newspapers contained most
guarded statements concerning this
business Of telegraphing without wires.
OF course, they agreed, it was inter
esting and mysterious, but it would
never come TO anything. 1t was moth
ing more or less. they said, than some
queer phenomenon that this man Mar
conf had fallen upon. Possibly he
would be seen in the music halls along
with the other Johnnies who did slight

clusion that electrical actions and
manifestations could be transmitted
through the earth, air or water by
means of electrical oscillations of high
frequency" He was making his ex-
periments in his fathers home in Italy.
1t would seem that Marconi, having
caught on, abandoned every other in
terest. Unlike some of his mighty prede-
cessors, he did not work at wireless
communication In conjunction with
kindred and even wholly foreign mat
ters. His was one of those tenacious,
one way minds that contained suf-
ficient measure of sheer brilliancy to
gild every one OF it's products.
In 1896 Marconi went to England,
where he saw vaster opportunity and
more liberal support offered. On June
2 of that year he did something that
somewhat shocked the scientists. He
applied for and received the first Brit
ish patent for wireless telegraphy.
While others had been working and
dreaming Marconi had been working
and working. 1t is not discourteous to

The New York Herald
Brought Marconi to America

However, to follow the story of the
radios development, we shall have to
go back to Marconi in England and
Italy. In 1899 THE NEW York HERALD
caused Marconi to come to America.
1t was his first visit to this country
and great had been the fame of him
here. He was still a struggling young
scientist. He had still to convince tie
world that he had something that was
going to revolutionize message COM
munica ton. Despite his fame there
were thousands who viewed him and
his experiments with much distrust.
Tfis newspaper took advantage of
the fact that the first of Sir Thomas
Lipton's famous Shamrocks was going
to sail the American sloop Columbia
for the Americas Cup. It asked Mar
conf to come to the United States and
by wireless report the contests. The
fact that lie had agreed to come was
published in THE New YORK HERALD
on September II. 1899. and it is wholly
probable that no announcement by a
newspaper in years had attracted half
the attention.
The steamship Ponce was fitted UP
for the Italian scientist and not the
least of the excitement and furor
was that incident to getting the ship
and fitting it out in TIE manner de-
manded by Marconi. Authorities OF
national and international standing
gave advice. 1t would never do to
have Marconi arrive and find a ship
inadequate to his needs. He came into
New York harbor on September 81

There is also the younger woman
who may want dances and the oppor-

the man. Her boarding house offers
no opportunity for her to receive him
the club will. If she wishes classes
to help her to be more like the sue
cessful older woman she can join them,
and, best of all, she will find the com
panionship of those successful busi-
ness women an inspiration to her-an
inspiration that may mean her future
success. She will be interested in the
pool and the gymnasium classes the
dramatic and glee clubs.
Age will not count in this club. and
the woman over 80 will find just as
much as the girl under that age. There
will be no time limit for the occupa-
ton of rooms by members, though, of
course, some limit will have to be
placed for guests Of members. One

members. This plan has been decided
upon because such a great number of
letters have been received from wom-
en- all over the country saying they
would like to join the club because
their business brings them here for
a few weeks each year" This MEM
bership will, of course. be limited TO
give adequate service to all, and ap-
plications will be accepted in the order
received. 1t is hoped that all will buy
bonds. as naturally all members who
are bondholders will have preference
over others.
