common belief bailer that Marconi tho UIO was the tho first to demon domon demonstrate strate that may bo Unshed Hashed through the tho all air without tho use of ot wires and that the first

In doing the tho very thing for 01 which Marconi has received all 1111 the tho credit This dentist was Dr Loomis and tho Congressional Globo for tho Congress contains the record of ot a 11 discussion of an act to Incorporate the tho Loomis Aerial Tele Telegraph Telegraph graph company which authorized the tho corporation to produce electricity from the tho all air for tor telegraphic light heat

attention among scientists scientist public men mell and others who have havo witnessed Its operation It Is called tho Tele Tole post and by Its uso 1000 words a n minute can bo be sent a n distance of 00 miles There have been several de dc devices vices for f r sending ending messages automat automatically but there thero was ono defeating agency with which the electricians could not cope they could not control the static charge of ot a telegraph wire This continually baffled Inventors and In spite of occasional brilliant performances their general average was not nat above that of the theold theold old hand method STATIC FORCE OVERCOME Mr Patrick Delan an electrical en on engineer of oJ distinction and former tele telegraph graph raph l operator had watched with In Interest terest

tho next greatest user of ot tho would be betM tho newspapers to whom a service would bo furnished nt at so low a price as us a tenth of ot n a cent a word and this would apply to day dispatches ns well as to night Doubtless a n lower rato would be given where tho samo dispatch was duplicated to several clUes cities on the slime same circuit When ono remembers that during the tho early days of tho electric telegraph newspaper publishers paid 10 cents a word on dispatches between Washing ton ana wid Now New York It will bo seen that a reduction to of at a 0 cent a word nil all points Is
