Marconi to Perfect Radio

The triumphal progress of wireless telephony is evidenced in every daily paper. New devices, improved methods, record performances crowd the news, though but a twenty-four hours' wonder.

The master wizard of all radioists, Guglielmo Marconi, is again on the job, and forecasts the early attainment of complete directional control of radio. He is working to perfect a system by which radio messages will be received only by the persons for whom they are intended. His experiments, extending over a considerable period, will soon be put to the acid test on his specially fitted yacht Electra, on which he will cruise down the coast of Europe and Africa. Messages will be sent from Wales and other distant places to test his theory. The secret is being closely guarded, but the method is said to depend on a new kind of receiving instrument, whereby stations can tell the point of the wave's origin to a fraction of a second of arc.
