that his tin cans and i.ibb sand wires
formed parts of some new-fangled const

Marconi chose the strip of beach ne.tr
Poole Harbor because it is remote.
"Here,” he said one day. “I can be alone
•nd <lo my work without fear of inter
ruption. and what I once do here on a
•mall scale, I can do anywhere in a larg
er wav.” The chemist leases that he
holds the world in a crucible; so he does
1n elements, and a chemical fact one a
proved in his laboratory Is true every
where. So it is with Marconi's laboratory
with reference to wireless telegraphy,,
•nd he is proving important facts an l
making discoveries of principles that will
hold when ether wav* shall be as fear
lessly handled, end spoken of as
ly as the steam engine or the electrical
current is to-day.
Whnt Marconi Ik Seeking.
It is now almost year since Prof.
Fleming of University College. London,
addressed the British Association for the
Advancement of Science, on wireless teleg
raphy, and, in sending gre* ting* by the
Marconi system te the French Associa
tion across the channel db ov : and ihat
soitk- of the messages exchanged were de
tected fifty miles beyond their destination.
Messages sent from Boulogne to Dover
were read in the , at ions at Chelmsford
•way across the hills of Kent and beyond
the fog and smoko of London town. The
achievement was remarkable, even though
the public refused to be surprised. Proba
bly nothing short of wireless messages
half way round the world would excite
unusual interesi now. and doubtless many
are wondering whe.her anything more will
come of wireles-s telegraphy than has al
ready been accomplished.
But Marconi has not been contented to
•top at the attainment of a hundred miles.
There were and are s;ill too many un
solved problems for him to r. >t his labors.
To prevent the inter■ pti< n < f <\: patches
•nd the “jamming" of tin* ins;i ;im* nts, to
attain longer db.aiKcs., to m:ts:er the se
cret of “tuned'' ether wav. s. and to ; p
ply the system practically to shipping so
as to increase the safety of vessels at
•ea—these were a few of the things he
has set out to do. Already the li t'.e
strip of coast near Poole's Harbor has
witnessed some of these solutions.
The writer had the plensi - I of spend
ing several weeks recently w 1 h Marconi
at the Poo’.e stall n. and of watch
ing •he work from day today. Hn<% morn
ing began with r wireless conversation
with the Isle of Wight station, when or
ders were given to the man there to “stand
by" later in the day and meantime to
look out for any unusual **theiial” oc
currences. The English navy was exper
imenting with wireless telegraphy at
Portsmouth, forty miles beyond, anti the
Isle of Wight installation kept up a lively
action while thes** experiments w. re going
on. Asa rule Marconi wn kept informed
•s to the progress of tin* navy, while the
navy was unable to "tap” his messages.
It was not a fair game, as the admiralty
begett to realize. Now they have arrang
ed with Marconi for the installation of his
•ystem with the latest improvements on
some forty vessels. But that, in spite of
lls Importance, is another story.
Nothing is ever attempt'd at Marconi's
laboratory that lias ever boon done before.
To be sure, the stations were set up along
the beach in the sairrc way •< h morning,
but no fact once discovered and verb -d
needed to be repeated. Man-'M's r.uylim
U. "If I do it once. 1 can do It again un
der the some condition;."
To the laymaivit would that Mar
coni's station* were set up in the same
way avtry day, but the initiated observer
could not fi to see that there were dif
ferent arrangements each day, and at no
time was there a station at Poole like the
pole-suspended wire we have come to as
sociate with wireless telegraphic appar
otu- The vertical wire was replaced by
a cylindrical can scantling on end and the
earth wire by a similar can lying so as
to make good connection. To the
regular transmitting and receiving Instru
ments were added coils and resistances for
the purpose of varying the capacities of
iupright cylinders. For better con
du ting. Ihe receiving station was placed
nra! the w ater’s edg**, Itnd the earth can
partly sunk iq the wet sand. The instru
ments were generally arranged on tables,
and in heavy winds, of which there were
many, the vertical cans had to be stayed
with guys to keep them in position.

With such apparatus. Marconi began a
seri* s of experiments la?i winter w hich
have already led to the discovery of many j
important facts in regard to wireless
telegraphy, and have solved many of the I
most elusive problems that have ever been I
encounter dt in the development o’ anew
science.
Marconi often works syn hetically in
stead of analytically. He doesn’t waste
litre and *nergy asking why a certain
cause produces a certain effect; lie says,
"This cause does produce this effect; l
don’t know just why, but it works this
way. and that is enough.” This attitude of
mind has led many to charge Marconi
with being a business man instead of a
scientist, and, in so far as being scientist
means being impractical, this accusation
holds good. Marconi is in truth h scien
tist. but he constructs his conclusions
from actual e\|>erimens and then veri
fies those results by theoretical proof, in
stead of making tlvorcilc.il conclusions
and verifying by actual trials.
“My mind works that way,” says Mar-
coni, in speaking of the subject. “I tar
ry a sort of ;raveling library about me,"
he added, pointing to a pile of the most
abstruse scientific works, “which I read
witji a great deal of Interest, and yet I
don't work out my problems in the same
wav. Bui I get a great deal of satisfac
tion when I verify actual experiments by
mathematical proof and find everything
jan it should bt ’ The scientific spirit is
| certainly not lacking in the young man of
| ?*’ who fimte in rending
treatises on exact electric measurements,
variations of vibrations, differential cal
culus and kindred topics.
Solved flit* “Tniills'* I’rohlrm.
The most widespread cry ngainst the
usefulness of wireless telegraphy has been
been based on the fact that in
te ceptlon of and spatches was for a long
time possible. It may not have occurred
to the objectors that the same fault may
be found with wire system of signalling.
Hut by mentis of variable conductors and
capacities, Macon! has worked out a sys
tem by which only certain Instruments
can receive certain messages, A. hundred
wireless instruments tapping out a hun
dred different messages or recording a
hundred different dispatches from as many
different places ranging in distance up to
—let us soy—one hundred miles would be
most marvellous, yet Marconi is now able
to do that and much more. He has taken
up the old problem of “tuning" messages
and worked It out practically.
He obtained his results on.'y after many
experimr ms—one cannot realize how many
without having seen them. There is an
infinite number of possibilities, but once
the proper relation is established between
the transmitter and receiver, only a re
turn to that relation will bring the true
result. A slight variation of the proper
resistance at either end is enough to
make the receiver inoperative. It is easy
to #!' how almost any number of sets of
instruments may be arranged, and with a
different ratio or relation each acting
without Interference from any of the orh
| ors. There is a familiar analogy in dif
! ferent tuning forks responding 10 differ
j rut notes of a piano, only in the electric
| tuning there arc many more possibilities,
! since the electric vibrations range from
j one million to billions per second. When
the ether wave maker produces a vlbra
i tion of 400,0C0,00),000 per second he creates
►light, and when be gets a vibration of
trillions per second, he has the X-ray.
The problem of prevention cf intercepted
messages has been attack? 1 by M Tom
masi, who. as reported recently *o the
A -ademie .les Signers, used two transmit
ters at each station, one of which trans
mits the desired message, and the other
termed the “blind" transmit ter—a series
| of meaningless dot and flashes. By keep
ing the range of the blind transmitter a
little less than the other, the apparatus
J may be arranged so tlm only the real
message Is received at the station and any
i receiver interposed for the purpose of tap
ping will receive both message and the
| jumble of a r dots and dashes, so that
| the real message is not distinguishable.
Multiplex \erlnl MeMangrn.
But this plan does not obviate the pos
sibility of *n outsider setting up a receiver
very near the o her and out of range of
the blind transmitter, nor >;et of setting
lup a countci transmitter ’ which shall
“join" ul! signals Intended for the regular
, station. .Marconi's present arrangement
' pro veil is interception of niessages or Jam
j niir.g of instruments, and. moreover, per
mits the use of a large number of installa
tions in the same place. In reality he has
improved on the multiplex system of wire
telegraphy which is so useful.

! often found that ihe vertical wire would
| become charged with atmospheric elec
tricity and the operator might
receive a shock in making the
change from ihe transmitting to th<
receiver cir- u!, the air and earth wires
being directly connected to the receiver.
This difficulty was obviated by laseri
ing a small induction coil in the receiving
circuit, the primary of which is connect
ed to the coherer and the secondary to
the earth and air wires. The ether waves
act on the coherer by induction and the
atmospheric electricity cannot colle.it
since it has free passage to the earth.
Another recent improvement is a modi
fication of the Morse key by which the
“change-over” from the transmitter to
the receiver may be made automatically..
This prevents the operator from acciden
tally operating the transmitter when the
vertical wire is being used in receiving.
Per*l*tencc, Patience and Pluck.
Marconi sometimes works clays with
out apparent result, but he is never dis
cour .aged.
"I am about as well satisfied,’ said he
one day, “when I fail in an experiment
as when I succeed, because if I try u
thing faithfully once and it does not work.
I can dismiss that possibility. After i
have tried a great many tilings that fail
1 get the thing that succeeds, and I don’t
have to repeat experiments in. future
trials.*’
It was interesting to watch him in the
“tuning” experiments. There was as
much satisfaction in his face when one
of his assistants signalled that no effect
was produced as when strong effect wiv
noted, he simply varied capacities and
resistances until the right relation w>s
produced. Then he began another series
o? experiments. One day he was asked:
“How do you know this is radiation?
Isn’t it earth leakage?" For answer he
disconnected the vertical wire and pressed
the key. There was no effect on the re
ceiver down the beach.
“We don’t know all about this yet,” he
said, "but we know the effect of the few
things we have tried. I believe it is ra
diation—ether waves. The scientists have
theories about it,” he went on, “but very
tittle is known. It seems curious that
the.-e waves should follow the earth’s ;
curvature, as we know they do. One man ;
believes they collect at a point on the
other side of the earth—the antipodal
point of the transmitter-and that may be
true.”
In the evening Marconi reviews the
work he has done during the day, and
plans the experiments for the A
day’s work is a valuable thing to him.
because he has the feeling that to-morrow
may bring some great development. No
kind of weather hinders him. He will only
stop work in the rain when it is severe .
enough to “short circuit” his batteries or
make a shock from the key possible. On
stormy days, when work outside is im
possible, indoor experiments are carried
on from one room to another. The spirit j
of work is dominant, and it is always in- j
telUgent work. “ ’K rout** us out at night |
sometimes,” said one of his assistants, j
“At Salisbury we started work one morn- i
ing at one o’clock because the nights were
good and the days bad.” Persistence, pa
tience and pluck are embodied in Mar
coni.
Drugged Miles by n Hull non.
The spirit with which he works is il
lustrated by one of his experiences at
Salisbury. For days he worked trying c*
periments with Vertical wires hold up 1y
balloons and kites. High winds playe 1
havoc with the kites, but there was no
giving up until good weather came so that
a fair trial could be had. On one ooeas
sion a balloon broke loose, but Marconi
seized the trailing rope and thought to
make nn anchor of himself by winding
the rope al>out his waist. The baboon,
however, was not to be restrained, and,
after dragging Marconi four miles across
country, it left him against a fence
which happened to be in the way. I
haven’t any proof, but I venture to say
that the young man made his way back
and went on with his work, without the
interference of u surgeon. It would be
like him.
At present Marconi is busy with plans
for the extension of his work along the
line of greater distances than before at
tempted and with contracts for the use
of the system at sea. as well as on land,
where wire systems are not in use. One
of his men is at Burkum, Germany, com
pleting the establishment of the installa
tions for ihe North German Lloyd steam
ships and making stations at a Hghthous.*
and lightship there. Another assistant is
locating stations on six of the Hawaiian
Islands and instruments for the complete
outfit are now on thy way there.
The use of the system in South Africa
has been chiefly confined to signalling be
tween the Kngßsh ships along the ebaat
and stations on land, though Ird Rob
erts has made good use* of it on land in
some instances. During the recent fear
of a Boer p’.of to blow up the English ships
the wireless system showed its advantage.
The International Company, recently or
ganized in France, will place the Marconi
system in use along rhe French coast and
on the French naval fleet. In addition to
all these operations, the installation of the
system on forty English warships should
ke-ep Marconi busy for some time.
Certainly the wireless telegraph has.
ceased to he a scientific toy; it bids fair to
be one of the most important elements of
the future world’s work. Hut Marconi
lakes it all modestly.
“I don’t think I have done very much
yet,” he remarks, “but I am young and
perhaps I may yet do something worth
while.” Horbern Wallace.

now would injure it greatly.
Americus needs more dwelling houses.
There is hardly a desirable house vacant
in the city.
Americus merchants look forward to
the besi fall and winter trade in ten years,
and many who leave this week and next
for tin North will buy stocks accordingly.
Even at ibis season, usually the dullest of
the year, business is quite satlsfatory, and
all Indications point to a splendid trade
during the cotton st ason.
Between 75,000 and 80,000 hale* of cotton
were handled in Americus during the past
season and the warehouses and compress
did a splendid business. Receipts during
the next season will be quite us good, or

BIT OSLY THE BEST GINGER ALE.
The best is the Wheeler Brand of Bel
fast Ginger Ale. made by Wheeler & Cos.,
of Belfast. Ireland, from the celebrated
Croinac Springs of that city. These
springs are the property of Wheeler &
Cos., hence no other Ginger Ale manufac
turer in Ireland has those waters but
themselves. The Wheeler Ginger Ale is
made from pure Jamaica Ginger Root and
not from Red Pepper, as others are; one
Is deleterious—the other is a tonic.
For Healthfulness and Purity the cele
brated Wheeler brand of Belfast Ginger
Ale is the best.
