Show MARCONI TELEGRAPHY. Judge Dickson's daughter went to Europe a few weeks ago on her bridal trip. Writing to her father of the voyage, she said the passengers were provided with a daily paper every day of the voyage. The news was carried to the ship by the Marconi wireless telegraph; news of stirring events of the day on two continents conti-nents told with all the details. Mr. Dickson received re-ceived one dispatch from his daughter sent from mid-ocean. It was brought on the air to shore and then transmitted by the old-time telegraph. We suspect that people generally as they watch a ship as she starts on her voyage, see her grow smaller and smaller until lost behind the waves, experience a feeling as though the vessel had plunged into nothingness and wonder if it will Indeed In-deed reach land. But that feeling will pass away now, for no ship can become "hull-down" that has the Marconi apparatus on board. The good-byes will follow it out to sea and the responses will keep returning. Nor wind nor wave can stop those messages. It is an uncanny thing to contemplate. It is marvelous enough that messages can be sent by wire under the sea, but it is all calm down there in the depths. The turbulence of raging winds and seas is not felt, eveii the pulses of the ocean hardly beat on that floor. Then, too, there is a tangible wire that makes a path for the messenger, mes-senger, but for a racing ship to toss off messages to the currents of the air, and compel them, regardless re-gardless of furious winds and seas, to bear those messages safely to shore is the wonder of wonders, and is enough to make any man humble to think of. What forces are all around ns, and how they are held in leash, until man discovers the secret and calls them up to do his bidding. Now the secrets sec-rets are stolen from the lawless and cruel sea. It can no longer lash a good ship to pieces or hurl it upon an iceberg and keep the secret. The story of the tragedy will be read on shore up to almost the moment that the ship goes down. The practical prac-tical results will equal the poetry of the invention, in case of a disabling accident to a ship, word will be sent to all the ships that may be near and it will be as when a signal from a height starts an army division on the double-quick to reinforce an army that Is fighting miles away. The business man making a voyage keeps in daily accord with business busi-ness on shore; he knows, too, where there are fires or storms or whether the death of some man east or west will be likely to affect markets or causo political disturbances. And while he reads the ship is plunging on her way and there Is nothing in sight but the blue above and the blue below. It is altogether marvelous, and it is in line with the other inventions of last cetnury in drawing the human races more closely together and making quarrels between nations less and less liable until finally the reign of Peace will be ushered in |
