He stopped there, this English-lookng
Italian, and his vividly blue eyes shone
with enthusiasm. Success and millions
of money have not bored Guglielmo
Marconi with the great game of wire
less-that is plain.
1T is amazing to perceive what has
been going on in America ever since
my last visit" he said. For forty
eight hours, approaching New York.

country on earth in radio development.

"Waves Can Encircle World"
The world across the shining water,
| the blue stretch between the Elettra
| and the Columbia Yacht Club dock in
| the Hudson, was trying to enmesh
Marconi and steal him away from his
work: trying to lure him to expensive
| feeds" and high sounding talk tests.
| Persons highly elevated socially wanted
the luster of his name. Their agents
| came aboard and spoke according to
their souls or skill, but Marconi baffled
all or nearly all with his placid courtesy
and his diplomatic evasion of definite
| promise.
His mind snapped back to things
worth while.
II have been experimenting for four
months" he said, taking up the sending
key once more" and while l have no

the United States to report substantial
progress to your radio engineers. Pos
sibly the most important test made was
one that proves that a wireless message
can be sent all the way around the
earth. 5000 miles.
Heretofore. the longest sending. I
believe. was just half way, 1850 miles.
but with the perfected instruments the
earth can be completely looped. I can
say TOO. that in the near future It will
be easier to send long distance. five

Getting Upper Hand of Static.
Another important series of experi-
ments l conducted aboard the Electra
while cruising between the Azores and
the Bermudas in the last three weeks
had to do with the elimination Of static.
Static Is the pet fiend of us wireless
folk. 1t is the mysterious dead hand
that paralyzes our wonderful young,
vigorous electric energy. Every wire
less operator knows what IL Is to be
psralyzed by static.
Aboard the Elettra l made many
tests of high and low frequency filters
for the elimination of static, and these
tests were very successful so much so
that I will have much of interest to re-
port to your electrical engineers when
I speak before them on Tuesday night.
Much of the static may now be elm
mated. though the problem has not been
solved completely
al. third series Of experiments had
to do with sending and receiving at
high speed. There were times when I
sent. actually. at the rate OF 200 words
minute, the swiftest rate ever attained
upon a ship at sea; and many times
when / received at the rate of more
than 100 words a minute. One of the
things hope to do while in tho United
States for the next three weeks Is to
speed possibilities of receiving. II Is
perfectly practical with our perfected
Instruments to receive at the rate OF 100
words, and want to see II this attained
speed is not of commercial value"
Has Many Visits to Make.
Marconl will live aboard the yacht,
which Is anchored off West Eighty
sixth street. or he may spend some time
at the Ritz-Carlton. He was not
altogether certain which he would de-
eide on. On Tuesday night he speaks
before the Institute of Radio Engineers
and the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers. Subsequently he will go to
Schenectady to visit the works of the
General Electric Company, where he
will make an address for broadcasting
from the companys big sending sta
tion.
Thereafter he will visit radio central
on Long Island and will then make an
Inspection OF the plants OF the Radio
