How Marconi First Thought of Wireless Telegraphy.

The idea o! transmitting messages through space by meanß of etheric waves, otherwise wireless telegraphy, came to me in the spring of 1894, while reading an acoount in an Italian electrical journal of the -work of Professor Hertz, who had died in January of that year. I had followed Hertz's experiments for several years previous to that, but they had never before awakened in me more than a passing interest. For detecting the waves radiated from his transmitting oscil lator Hert had used a metal hoop having a small gap at one side. Upon bringing this hoop within the influence of the elec trical disturbance set up by his oscillator, he discovered that minute sparks passed across the gap. In other words, he showed that electric waves, when radiated into space, could be detected at a distance by means of the metal hoop. It occurred to me that if I could inter rupt the wave transmission from the oscil : lator, breaking it up into long and short periods, similar interruptions would be detected in the spark gap of the metal hoop. Here, in short, was the possibility of signalling across space by means of the Hertzian waves. A short emission of the transmitted waves would signify the dot of the Morse alphabet, a long emission the dash, and thus words might be spelled out in the distant reciver. The idea seemed so single and evident to me that at first I had no thought of at tempting practical experiments looking to its demonstration, because I knew there were many clever men in the world ex perimenting with etheric waves, and I thought some one would quickly work out the problem. After waiting almost a year without seeing any account of attempted applications of the discoveries of Hertz to the transmission of signals, I began my first experiments in December 1894, and obtained results which surprised me, and ■which I at once realised were new.

I may say that for several years previous to the beginning of this work I had been deeply interested in electricity, though purely as an am&teur. I had fitted up a rude laboratory or workshop in my father's house near Boulogne. I have seen it stated that Professor Sighi of the University of Boulogne, first sug gested to me tho idea of communicating messages through space. This, however, is not the truth. I think I am right in saying that previous to my experiments no one had attempted the practical übo of the Hertzian waves for telegraphy.

People Who Think Themselves to Death.

Thousands of people actually think themselye3 to death every year by allowing their minds to dwell on morbid subjects.

As a rule the thought that kills relates to something the individual dreads more than anything else in the world. There ia & germ of fatil thought in ninety-nine per sons in every hundiei, and the exoeption is only proof against the thought disease by having been inoculated with the lymph of profonnd optimism or philosophy. The idea that one |has some incipient disease in one's system, the thought of financial ruin, that one is getting on in life without improving prospects—any of them or a thousand similar thoughts, may carry a healthy man to a premature grave. A melancholy thought that fixes itself upon one'smind needs as much " doctering " as physical disease j it needs to be eradi cated from the mind, or it will have the same result aa a neglected desease would have. The thought-disease sometimes cures itself after running its course; bo does small J pox. But who would settle down to suffer from smallpox and chance recovery, as thousands of foolish persons settle down and let the thought-diaease, which has at tacked them, to do its worst ?

Every melancholy thought, every morbid notion, and every nagging worry should be resisted to the utmo3t, and the patient should be physicked by cheerful thoughts, of which there is a store in every one's possession, bright companions— cheaper than drugs, and pleasanter. Some physicians say there is no doubt that numberless healthy persons have thought themselves into having tumours and cancers—eases which admit of no doubt •whatever that the diseases resulted from constant morbid fear. Morbid-minded persons on hearing that there is cancer in their families, generally do the very worst thing they can ao under the circumstances —they conceive an awful dread that they will be afflicted with it. They dwell upon the fear constantly; and every trifling ail ment which troubles them i 3 at first mis taken for the premonitory symptoms of cancer.

The morbid condition of the mind pro duces a morbid condition of the body, and if the disease does happen to be in the system it receives every encouragement to develop.

An Ashburton Lady

OFFERS SOME VALUABLE ADVICE TO EVERY READER INTERESTED.

Perhaps the reader is a ' Doubting Thomasy for Ashburton is full of them. Doubt, as a rule, leads to investigation, and as ' Doubting Thomas' will not accept S3 facts a long statement giving particulars of some incredible cure on the other side of the world, he is asked to investigate the following testimony of a local citizen ■ — Mrs E. M. McKee, storekeeper, Beach Road, thia town, says:—'l _ have been troubled with a pain in the vicinity of the kidn.By,s for a long time, besides haying giddiness and headaches at the same time. I used several sorts of medicines but none of them proved effective, and then i gave Doan's Backache Kidney Pills a trial. These pills proved marvellous. Before I had taken them long I had quite lost the back ache and also the headaches and giddiness. They also acted splendidly for a run down feeling, making me feel quite strong and energetic. They are splendid pills and should be used by everybody who is at all troubled with the kidneys.

Do not be satisfied with any imitation of Doan Js Pills. Remember it was Doan's Backache Kidney Pills which cured Mrs McKee, and you want the same remedy. Doan's backache kidney pills. They are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s .per box {six boxes 16s 6d), or will be posted on receipt of price by the proprietors, Poster, McClellan Co., 76 PittflSfcreet, Syd ney, N.S.W.
