These machines are combine! harvesters, that cut, thresh, clean, sack and dump the grain on the ground ready to be stor ed. The traction engines which oper ate them are of 50-horse power. Last season some great records for harvesting were made. A twenty-foot sickle har vester, with what is termed a four-toot extension cut, threshecj, cleaned and sacked 1,772 bags of i/heat, or over 3,- 000 bushels a day. 1 UPRIGHT I m ft Straight and strong is thr jm to statue when the twists uud im curvatures of 1 jfe i I . -*#' Lumbago % I M 1 S arr r,,ro^nn< * ft to jjjll et: anUUeued stf I s&s & | Ml A Jacobs t S MIL 0 I to ft iti ft Marconi's Great T?.s'<. In liis Dorsetshire laboratory, week m and week out, works Marconi, the ma gician cf wireless telegraphy. He only visits London to attend meetings of the board of directors, and, thrice happy, he is spared the reading of all save the most pressing business letters. His dis covery has been natented in every civ ilized county, yet Marconi is aware th-it competitors are running him hard in the race for improvements and consequent ly he is never content with what has al ready been done. "We have proved the efficiency- of Marconi's invention for a distance of 98 miles," said Major Flood Page, the secretary of the Marconi Company, "and I wish you could tell us how to cross the Atlantic." It is the solution of this distance dif ficulty which is now taxing the ingeni ous brain of the tireless Marconi. The curvature of the earth over so many miles of sea causes the trouble. To speak to Ostend, over forty miles, of water, necessitates the erection of a mast of communication 40 fect high, which is at the rate of a foot of mast per mile of distance. By this calculation, wire less telegraphy between Southampton and New York would require 011 either side a mast measuring about three thou sand fect in height—nearlv as high as Snowdon and 19 times the height of the Nelson Column. But Marconi is san guine of his ability to solve the mast problem, though it will, of course, take some high thinking and deep reflection. —London Express.
