Try to Learn Some One
Thing Each Dav
It is the only way to get farther ahead on your
chosen work.
Marconi years ago told his intimate, friend, a
member of Parliament, who told the writer, that it
was true that Her Majesty's warships at Malta, in
the Mediterranean, through their commander sent
at sunset every night a good night to Her Majesty
Queen Victoria.
Sir Henniker Heaton asked him for information
as to how it was done, and Marconi replied, "I do not
know myself. 'All I know is that I can get there by
wind waves."
Today it is a fact careful experiments and
scientific study and mechanical inventions, one after
another, have, little by little, conquered difficulties
and perfected aerial message carrying.
Marconi did not quit until he got there.
