Show our will the marvels of electrical discoveries co veries never cease since the application of the subtle fluid by science though it has been as little understood in its true nature as life itself one seeming impossibility after another has been accomplished about this time a year ago the wonderful x rays were being brought into use photographing the interior of what were considered opaque substances now we are told by the scientific american that for some time past mr W H chief of the electrical department of the british system has been making experiments peri ments in telegraphing through the air without wires and with considerable sid erable success but recently mr has yielded the palm to a young italian inventor guglielmo marconi whose experiments have demonstrated the superiority of his system of telegraphy without wires he has carried on these experiments with the sanction and support of the postal department and with the cooperation of mr and other engineers gi mr marconi in making use of the waves discovered that impulses set up in his apparatus were able to effect a receiver placed on the further side of the fiill morse signals could be sent with ease through the larger part of a mile of earth and rock he found he had discovered a new form of energy that did not exist in the waves the now wave could penetrate everything and cluid not be refracted or bent aside from a straight path no description of marconis ap paratha has been made public but it ia said to be very compact and capable of being used for military manne and other purposes it is believed that this system of telegraphy and Biga aliner has capabilities within it that will astonish the world certainly the limit of knowledge in this direction has not been reached the question is what may we expects expect 2 will this form of energy assist in accomplishing comp lishing the much discus bed transference of thought or telepathy will it enable a person at one point on the globe to communicate with another on the opposite side can this energy be utilized in communicating with the other worlds dr jagadics chunpei Chun dei bose a professor of physics m the presidency college calcutta has done much experimental work of a similar character he also is now in england these two men are trying to reach the same goal but we ludge independently and by somewhat different paths we have little else than rumors in regard to these investigations and with great interest the revelation i of what i is at present and the developments of the future |
