Dr.. Bronly Dies, Disguised
With Radio He HELPED Invent
Physicist Who Pioneered for Morconi
To Be Given National Funeral by France

sent his first wireless telegram from
England to France he transmitted
this: .
IN. Marconi sends M.sBranly his
respectful compliments by wireless
telegraphy across the English Chan
mel, this splendid achievement being
due in part to the remarkable work
OF M. Branly."
DR.. Branly's discovery was that
OF the principle Of the coherer, one
OF the first successful devices used
as a detector Of wireless signals. He
got his first inkling of it in 1865
rather accidentally, but 1t was six
years later before he demonstrated
it before the French Academy Of
Science and thereby won member
ship in that body.
His demonstrating apparatus con-
sisted OF a glass tube filled with
loose iron filings, a galvanometer
and an electric battery in a closed
circuit. Electric sparks were pro-
duced Is yards away and the cur
rent, causing the filings to adhere
together, brought a deviation in the
galvanometer. BY tapping the tube
he knocked the filings apart and
cut the current. making the tube
ready for the next spark.
Born at Amiens, France.
Or Branly was born October %,
1874, at Amiens, France, and chris
tened Desire Eugene Edouard. His
father was a professor at the Ly-
ceum de st. Quentin and the son
made brilliant debut as a student
at the Ecole Normale Superieur in
Paris. He was given a post in the
laboratory of physics of the Sor-
bonne worked there three years
and won the degree of doctor of
physics.
He left the Sorbonne for the In
stitut Catholique when the latter
promised to establish a laboratory
for him. It was never developed to
the point which DR.. Branly had ex-
pected and in 1880, after half a
century of struggle. he wrote on its
door in chalk this grim jest:
physical laboratory; provisional
since 1875"
F0resaw Modern Talkies.
His vision was at times prophetic.
In 1920 he foresaw the modern
"talkies," predicting that moving
pictures would be shown with the
voices of actors and singers trans
mitted to the audiences by radio
telephones.
In other scientific fields, too, he
accomplished much. His thesis for
his medical degree was on estimat-
ing the quantity of hemoglobin in
the blood by optical methods. In
this he embodied results of his study
of spectroscopy, then in its infancy
He was one of the first to apply the
spectroscope to biological problems
and made several important findings
in that field.
