. Waves . Wi./jg, yGUGLIELMO MARCONI—the s»n of an,lrishwoman, was born at Bologna in 1874. Twenty years later Sir Oliver Lodge demonstrated that signals could be trans■^m* mitted without wires by the agency of Hertzian waves I . ~* W (first produced in the ether by Herts in 1887). Only r" I 1/ if ■ i ■I I\i two years elapsed when in 1896 Marconi evolved a met/tod I jV H l\-^JL ILr •/ transmitting and receiving these waves to and from a q/ distance of a few hundred yards. x In 1899 Marconi's first communication was sent across the English Channel, and in 1901 he spanned the Atlantic. Now .. . .Commander Byrd whenin the Antarctic was mble-to keep in hourly touch with America. When in 1896 Marconi evolved a method of transmitting and receiving signals by means of electromagnetic waves, he made a discovery destined economise time in greater degree than has any other invention in the history of the world. True, this is not the only boon this genius conferred upon humanity, but this economy of itself is the source of other and greater intrinsic benefits and without it the invention would have lost most of its value. Th^consistent,highquality and fine flavour of "Amber Tips" Tea would not he so valued throughout the Dominion were it not for the test of its economy in making more cups than can be brewed from an equal quantity of ordinary teas ... and is not this another excellent reason for the claim that "Those who drink "Amber Tips" know why others also prefer it"? •. •
