Electricity Still In Infancy

Prof. Henry S. Carhart, who has for years occupied the chair of physics in the University, according to the Detroit Journal, says:

"As far as the application of electricity is concerned, we have probably only made a beginning. Nobody can yet say definitely what will be the result of Marconi's labors, but his methods may prove thoroughly practical. It is proper, however, to say that he is not by any means the originator of the ideas that have given him such wide fame. The German professor, Herz, whom I knew as assistant in the laboratory at Berlin, antedates Marconi, although the latter has made decided improvements.

"Electricity as applied to railway transportation has by no means reached the limit of perfection, and we shall see an enormous advance over present conditions before the century is much older."
