WONDERS OF WIRELESS LATEST EXPER1ME>'T8 TOLD BT MARCOKI. 'One Enables Ship to Detenaiae Position of Otiier Vessel Sending Messages. That wireless telegraphy haa not yet exhausted its store of wonders and surprises was proved in an in- teresting talk with Mr. Marconi at his London oflSce recently. The tall, athletic, well-groomed young man, greets you in breezy fashion, and in such perfect Eng- lish that his Italian name is for- gotten, and you remember only that his mother was Irish. "Oh, yes," he said, "I'll tell you â- what I'm trying to do, and what arc my hopes, but please don't let ua have too much of the Iâ€" I â€" I. BOTH DIRECTIONS AT ONCE. "Most people know all about the regular service which the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company is now maintaining across the Atlan- tic. It began in October last with the exchange of messages between King Edward and Earl Grey, Gov- ernor-General of Canada, and we are now sending about 2,000 words across daily. "We can send twenty-four words a minute across the Atlantic, or fcrty-eight when we can use the du- plex system. But at present we can only send messages one way at a time. If an operator tried to send a message across while he was receiving one there would be great confusion, one man firing against another" â€" and Mr. Marconi waved his hand to suggest a grand colli- sion of language in mid-Atlantic. "But lately I have been experi ITALY TO BUY STATION. "At the present time a bill is be- fore the Italian Parliament for the purchase by the Government of the Marconi station at Bari, near Brin- disi, which communicates with Mon- tenegro across the Adriatic. In his opeech, the Minister for posts and telegraphs said that this sta- tion had, in its three years' work- ing, given proof of its eflB.ciency and reliability, and he proposed its purchase with every confidence. This testimony to our system is, of course, very gratifying." Then with a sigh over the fact that business cares had for some time kept him from his beloved ex- periments, to which he will shortly return. Mr. Marconi brought the interview to a close.

"That is one of my latest experi- ments. Another is to enable a ship A housebreaker named Smith was hanged at Tyburn in 1705. A re- prieve came when he had been sus- pended a quarter of an hour. He was cut down. bled, and revived. William Duell, hanged in London in 1740, revived and was transported. A man hanged in Cork in 1765 was taken in hand by a physician, who brought him round in six hours, and approaching the shore, or another I ^e are told the fellow had the nerve ship in a fog, to determine exactly , to attend a theatrical performance the position of the wireless station on shore or the course of the other ship. You can see, of course, how it will help a navigator if he is able to know, not only that another the same evening.

This is turned about in the direction from which the other ship, or the shore station, is known to be telegraph- ing, until the ringing of a bell, caused by the waves entering the hole in the screen, shows that the exact direction from which the wave is coming has been ascertain- ed. "I shall be carrying out experi- ments on these lines in the Mersey iii a few weeks. The idea is being specially welcomed by shipping au- thorities on the St. Lawrence Riv- er, where fog so often hinders na- vigation. NO WIRES TO CUT. "At present the trans-Atlantic service, from Clifden, Ireland, to Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, a distance of 2,300- miles, is our longest regu- lar system, but I see no reason why the most distant parts should not he thus connected, and to a coun- try like Great Britain, with her far-oS colonies, the possibilities are enormous. "In undeveloped lands, too, like Africa, its future seems assured. One of its great advantages is that there are no wires to cut. The cut- ting of telegraph wires by savage or half-civilized tribes, out of ig- norance or mischief, has always been a difficulty. In China, too, where we have five stations, this same point holds good, especially in view of the fact that superstiti- ous dread of shadows falling on an- cestral graves has often led to the removal of wires and poles. Think, too, of the anxiety that we should have been spared if the beseiged Legations in Pekin a few years sgo could have communicated with the allied European fleets by a sys- tem which no wire-cutting could hinder.

KEEP CHILDREN WELL DUaiNB HOT WEATHER Every mother knows how fatal the summer months are to small children. Cholera infantum, diar- rhoea, dysentery and stomach trou- bles are alarmingly frequent at this time and too often a precious little life is lost after a few hours' ill- ness.

Dr. Storey, the late principal of Glasgow University, taking a holi- day in the country once, was met by the minister of the district, who remarked : "Hullo, principal! You here 1 You must come down and relieve me for a day," "I don't promise to relieve you." veplied the principal, "but I might relieve your congregation." A fat purse makes a good deal more than a slight difference. HOME, SWEET HO HE. Stay, stay at home, my heart and rest ; Homekeeping hearts are happiest. For those that wander they know not where. Are full of trouble and full of care. To stay at home is best. Home â€" the name made dear by sacred associations, the place wher« childish feet take their first faltering steps and infant minds receive their first idea. There lessons of love and truth, of right and wrong, of faith and hope and purity are imprinted upon the plastic heart, and all the sorrows and perplexities of after life are inefficient to quite efface these first deep true impressions. Sweet home, where the mother's gentle hands prepare the little do- mestic comforts that a father's love piovides. and filial affection is "the silver link, the silken tie," that binds the household band together. Ttials may come and clouds may lower, but in the seclusion of home remains sweet healing for the wounds that brave and sensitive hearts hide from a disdainful world. There these hurts and dis- tresses may be confidently revealed and a sovereign remedy found in its unquestioning faith. There a child's pure kiss or the touch of dimpled fingers may revive a soul oil the verge of despair ; and in the home the brightest dreams become more golden, the rarest pleasure more intense, the tendcrest joys more serene. And if, in the vary- ing degrees of fortune, its loving shelter must be abandoned, how the exile fold.s about his heart, as the traveller does his cloak, the memory of its lights and llowors, its loves and hopes and kindnesses. There the noblest influences exist, the holiest impulses find expres- sion, and there have been born the chaste and lofty sentiment^! that have made a whole world better.
