Mr. Drinkwator, it will bo ro memborod, racantly read some of higown poome before the mioro phone at 2 LO. Ho is, I bollove. the first English poot to have done so, and I was interested to know how he liked the experience. and what influence he considered wireless should have on pootry, and on litoralute gonorally.
