Broadcasting Of Heartbeat
inspires the Inventor Of
Wireless TeIegraphy.
BY International News Service.


LONDON, May /. Medical di-
agnoses by wireless may be possible
in the future, Senator Marconi, in
ventor of the wireless, believes.
Recently the beating of a mans
heart has been broadcast across the
Atlantic.
This broadcasting of heart beats
is a very interesting development
that seems to me to be capable of
yielding valuable results" said Sen.
ator Marconi.
~ have always noticed that when
doctors examine the heart they have
to strain hard to hear the slight
sound. l do not see why it should
not be possible now to devise
have the sound of the heartbeat
amplified for him, just as it is with
the human voice. .s-st
"Amplification does not interfere
at all with the character of the
sound, and the American expert
ment of broadcasting heart.beats
across the Atlantic suggests i'm
pressive possibilities in the consult
ing room.
"But other things aA opened up.
Is it too much to suggest that at no
distant date a doctor will be able to
diagnose by wireless? The neces-
sity for that may arise very natur.
ally. A man in London, let us say,
may require very urgently the serv-
ices of particular doctor, who at
that moment is hundreds or per.
haps thousands of miles away. To
get the. doctor to the bedside would
| involve delay that might be fatal.
Who can say but that in the
future some means will be perfect
ed to permit the doctor, in certain
circumstances, to study his patient
and diagnose his complaint by wire.
less? Now that it is demonstrably
practicable to send the sound OF
heart-beats through the ether SO
clearly, one cannot regard such de.
Velopments as mere imagination.
In. other ways. too, this ampli.
flcation by wireless means of the
slightest sounds may open up quite
a new field of inquiry. Who knows
what tiny sounds made by insects
or animals may be discovered? Bv
! careful records and ampIifications
we may possibly ascertain that
there are sounds which up to the
present have not been distinguished
by our ordinary hearing apparatus.
Wireless is a science of infinite
potentialities. The achievements
already recorded are probably only
1.-THE of what will be accomplish.
ed in the future.
For myself, am continuing my
work of limiting waves to a beam.
and the satisfactory results already
achleved make me sanguine of com.
plete success. Up to the present
the beam has been worked over. a
distance of 1000 miles, but 1 am
hopeful of extending the range at
an early date"

which will have transformed our
very existence to even a greater
degree than any other scientific
development or invention of mod.
ern times" said William DubiIier.
dynamo in the radio world, and
inventor Of the Dubilier condenser,
IN an exclusive interview TODAY
with Cosmopolitan News Service.
Less than decade ago this
Napoleon Of radio was unknown:
today his name is the bywor1 in
most every home that boasts of a
radio "listening-in' set.
America Is far in the lead over
europe In radio development" he
SAID. we are years ahead Of them
In broadcasting. Europe is back
ward in radio because of lack Of
competition and where there is no
competition there is no incentive.
Radio is wonderful and price
less thing. 1t is to be a great
power in education, and above all.
ic is destined, more than any other
force, to bring an understanding
OF universal brotherhood to all the
peoples of the world.
Predicts National Control.
81 predict that eventually the in
dustry in the United States Will be
placed under the license system, as
is the case in England, where, in
order to own a radio set, one must
first secure license.
Instead of having broadcasting
stations scattered about interfering
with one another, England permits
only twelve, and each and every
one of them is under government
supervision. 1t is my belief that
radio entertainment in America
could be raised to q higher basis
by specialization-say, one station
broadcasting dance music, another
opera, and still another lectures,
and SO on. Eventually America will
come to this, and free programs
will be in the discard"
THE time is rapidly approaching
when 1t will be possible for a per-
son to carry a complete receiving
set in ones pocket-and in this
way business will become more eff
cient, as an employee will then be
enabled to keep in close touch with
his concern at any time and place
by just tuning in with his COM
pany's central broadcasting sta
ton"
His Great Inventions.
Dubilier was the first electrical
engineer in the world to install the
first wireless outfit on an airplane
during the world war, and il at
present at work on a cohtrivance
which, he asserts, will eliminate the
use of aerials in every form.
This man, who first broadcast
music and whose experimentation
with wireless has done so much to
make it the useful and entertaining
device that it is, has just perfected
an invention or process for making
gasoline at a fraction of the pres.
ent cost.
II believe It is possible" said
Dubilier, through my inventions to
utilize the force in all materials.
For example, / have perfected a
condenser to extract latent energy
In coal, so that one pound will do
the work of a ton-of this you will
