MR MARCONI ON WIRELESS. HINTS OF DEVELOPMENTS. Addressing, on June 7th, at Brent- wood, a large party of members of Parlia ment of the Industrial Group who visited. Radio House, und the receiving and trans-- mitting stations of Marconi's high-speed wireless telegraph service, Mr. Marconi made his first public reference to the ex periments which he had been conducting on the West Const of Africa. They had, he said, gone far to convince him that by means of radically new, devices which he had tested between England and the tropics, long-distance signalling could be made more rapid, more efficient, and more economical. He prophesied a coin- plete revolution in many of the methods hitherto adopted, adding, " I am very optimistic about it, and I am not ashamed to say so."

The visitors saw t work the various time-saving devices which secure speedy dealing with a messages handed in for transmission or received from overseas, and the up to date instruments employed in connection with service. Message of greetings were sent from here to the Ministers of Commerce in the United States, France, Canada, Switzerland, and Spain, and replies were actually received in some cases before they party had left the station. At Ongar they were shown the wonders of the transmitting stations, with their lefty aerial systems spread over a large area, and the receiv ing station at Brentwood, where a new type of apparatus is at work which in claimed to be very successful infiltering out atmospherics. Simultaneous recep- tion can be carried on from four Can- tinental stations and from eix Trans- atlantio stations

This is the end of every man's desire." The gist of what is perchance the best of Mr. E. V. Lucas's cricketing parodies roay be garnered from its opening phrase, O to face fast bowling on a perfect wicket"; while Mr. F. B. V. Christian | was in not less happy vein with 7 When I Am Out" ; w

So frail is the human body that immunity from disease can never be completely assured, and whilst this

world of ours is peopled, disease will always be with us. It must be acknowledged, however, that much greater precaution might be, and should be, exercised to ward off atmospheric infection.

The main trouble lies in the fact that the general public bas, even now, very little real kuowledge of the subject of infection, and in consequence little or no effort is made, wliether individually of as a conmunity, to combat airborne disease. The result is seen in ths may epidemics which run their course throughout the
