But the difficulty did not prove insuperable, as Marconi found that increasing the energy of the transmitting station during the daytime would more than make up for the loss of range.
The coherer has been displaced by a new device invented by Marconi, called a magnetic detector, by which the ether waves are aided by a stronger current to record the message. The effect is the same, but the method is entirely different. The sending of a long-distance message is a spectacular thing.
There is another side to this record of how the news came through, and a sad one, indeed. Again I wish it were not necessary to tell such things, but since they all bear on the equipment of the trans-Atlantic lines powerful Marconi apparatus, relays of operators, etc., it is best they should be told.
"The theory of it is simple, as are the theories of all great inventions; the secret of its construction is known only to its inventor a man of whom you never heard. It is merely that the mechanism of the cap is so delicate that the Marconi wireless waves and only those will fire the cap.
His motor took Tante Lydia and Dorothy to their apartment, where he left them with many assurances of his desire to be of service. He sent a wireless message and was comforted. He wondered how, in the old days that were only yesterdays, people could have endured separation without any means of communication, and he blessed the name of Marconi as cordially as he cursed the name of Brutgal.
She gave the year as 1917, called the doctor “a mentalist,” and the stenographer “a tapper,” or “a mental tapper.” She twice said she was single. When asked directly who took care of her, said “Mr. Marconi,” who she claimed at another time had brought her to the hospital. To the question, who is he? she replied, “Wireless,” and could not be made to explain further.
It was on this voyage that Marconi made the interesting discovery of the effect of sunlight on the propagation of electric waves over great distances.
He is a man of keen business judgment, and as he brought his invention forward and clearly demonstrated its worth at a time when commercial enterprise was alert he found no great difficulty in establishing his company. The first Marconi company was organized as early as 1897 under the name of the Wireless Telegraph and Signal Company, Limited.
My father died in 1892 and we had not at the time of his death learned of Popoff's microphone-coherer in which steel filings were mixed with carbon granules. The magnetic waves received at first by us presumably from Mars, and later, as the communications indisputably show, from that planet, were taken upon a Marconi receiver, or what was practically that.
There came a sound of opening doors, and several passengers, whom Kâramanèh's cries had alarmed, appeared in various stages of undress. A stewardess came running from the far end of the alleyway, and I found time to wonder at my own speed; for, starting from the distant Marconi deck, yet I had been the first to arrive upon the scene.
