For the softness that characterizes the charm of baby days there is nothing so :Epropriate as theknitted garment. For e lithe little bodies that toddle and squirm and stumble and fall, nothing can take the place of knitted outerwear. Be- cause knitted things are so practical and comfortable, so durable and economical, they cannot but appeal to mothers, and are gaining pppnlntlty in the nursery. New knitted models for the kiddiés make their appearance every day. Ther: are sweaters,” of course, sacques ani dresses, caps and booties, mittens and astockings. ' The greatest varigty is seen, perhaps in the sweater coat. Here, varia- tions in collar or cuff, border or belt, seem to make an endless variety: The above drawing shows a pink and white infant’s sweater coat.

His life his- tory is to all practical intents the his- |, tory of radio communication. Senatore Guglielmo Marconi, G. C. | Vv.0,L. L D, D-Sc. M. L. E. E, was | born in Bologna, Italy, April 25, 1874. |: His mother was Irish, while his father | was of a family whose mechanical ability was marked. After an edu- cation at Leghorn and Bologna, the young man interested himself in the problem of wireless telegraphy, start- |’ ing his research in 1895. He went to |, England and'in 1896 took out the first patent:ever granted for a practical system-of wireless telegraphy, by the use of electric waves. His early ex- periments in England were made at ‘Westbourne Park. Shortly afterward Marconi saw W. H. Preece and at his request made some experiments Some |* for officials of the postofiice, further -experiments were made in May, 1897, in the Bristol channel, wireless ' communication being estab- lished ‘between Lavernock and Brean Down, ‘a- distance of nine miles. On the invitation of the Italian government Marconi afterward went' to Spezia where a land' station was erected, which was kept in constant communication with two Italian bat- tleships® working from a distance of 12 miles.. For-this success the Ital- fan government .conferred upon Mar- coni the honor of knighthood. After a return to England further experi- ments were conducted and on July 20, 1897, the first radio company was formed and two' permanent stations erected. In 1898 wireless. reports of yacht races in Kingston were made and proved the usefulness and adapt- ability to which' the system lends it- H. G. Corcoran of Washington, D. C., His Receiving Wire Being Connected to the Wire Springs of His Bed. | self to commercial purposes. In De- cember, 1898, Marconi installed ap- paratus to provide communication be- tween the South Foreland lighthouse and a lighthouse on the south coast. In 1899 Marconi read a paper on “Wireless Telegraphy” before the In- stitution of Electrical Engineers in London. Early in 1901 telegraphic commu- | nication was established between two points more than 250 miles distant and at the end of that year Marconi transmitted signals from Poldhu, in Cornwall to St. Johns, Newfoundland. In 1902 he received on board the steamship Philadelphia in the pres- ence of the officers, good messages on the tape when at a distance of over 1,500 miles from the transmit- ting station and signals at over 2,000 miles. In December, 1902, the station established at Cape Breton, Nova Scotla, under a contract with the Cn- nadian government for transatlantic wireless telegraphy, was put into communication with the Cornwall sta- tion at Poldhu and inaugural messnge were transmitted: to the King: of England, the” King of Tty and o/ the London Tites. In-October, 1903, the . steamshtp® Lucanin-published-a rireports 500 sets. daily wireless bulletin from messages received from. the: Marconi stations. A powerful station at Clifden on the west coast of Ireland was opened early, in ,1907 for the, establishment of Ze’omm_&n‘:( 1 & retatfons | Mith ‘the ‘Américan coftient at iGlgop; Bay. | _Mr. Marconi’s work has been rec- ogilized by many governients and geats of learning; he has been dec- orated by the King of Italy and the Jate ex-Czar of Russia as an honor- ary doctor of many universities, in- cluding Oxford, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Liverpool and Pennsylvania, besides having received the freedom of the principal Italian cities. In 1914 he was elected a senator In the Ttalian parliament. He also holds many sci- entific awards granted by various so- cietles and institutions. Upon the declaration of war by Italy, Senatore.

Coal and Manchu's Ghost, The Fushun conl mine of China Is one of the inrgest open-cut mines In the world. The Tartars are known to have worked the mine in the Twe century. For years the Chinese have been urged to work the mine, but Chinese ofli dom has always pointed to the fact that the spirit of Tal-Tsu-Kao, a Manchu emperor, who was buried 10 miles away in the Seventeenth century must not be disturbed. Thus for cen- turies superstition kept over 1,000, (00,000 tons of coal untouched. In their efforts to open the mines, the Japanese not only found great official hostility to their scheme on the ‘part of .the Chinese ofli; but even the native coolies were reluctant at first to work, through their fear of the 1z Tai-Tsu-Kao, 10 miles distant.
