MILDMAY BOY AS INVENTOR Amateur experiments conducted by Frank Fedy, Mildmay, will make power transmission as simple as a radio broadcast, if the scientific world confirms his claim to an in- vention which :eliminates the neces- sity for transmission lines. Fecly's theory, which he claims to have actually put into practice, vis- ualizes a revolution in modern 'Pow- er „and industrial systems, the scrap- ping of millions of dollars of ilium- bersome equipment' and .a new era for districts too isolated for ordin- ary distribution, "Have you actually transmitted and received electricity without us- ing wires?" "Several tiines," ]edy declared. "The first time was here at Mildinay six weeks ago, I hook- ed my device tip on an eight -mile stretch. The transmitter was in Mildmay and the receiver in a house where I had a dozen lamps, a quar- ter horsepower ;motor and an air compressor set up. Away she went. No one in town knew what was hap- pening." Fedy's assistant in the test, he said was a man' who started tinkering with him two years • ago. He check- ed the results but knew nothing of the secret. The test was repeated in Kitchener and was successful," Fedy asserted. "I transmitted power for 2 blocks and .picked it up with my re- ceiver,", "Did you realize what you had?" "Not until I demonstrated it in Toronto. I thought I could supply lights for a few )louses in town. Now I believe I can send power 75 to 100 miles and be able to supply 1. enough g juice fir any purpose:" "An hottest man's the noblest work of God."—Pope.
