BOSS OF ENGLISH NAVY
ONCE ASSOCIATED WITH
WIRELESS DISCOVERER
(By Associated Press )
LONDON, June 12.—Admiral Sir
Henry Jackson who recently succed
ed Lord Fisher as first sea lord of the
admiralty , has long been known here
as "the cleverest man in the British
navy.” He is the only naval officer
who has been honored with election as
a Fellow of the Royal Society, this
high scientific honor falling to him n
1901 for his researches in electrical
physics.
Admiral Jackson was one of the
earliest experimenters in wireless tel
egraphy, and was associated for many
years with Mr. Marconi. He is a spec
ialist also in naval torpedoes. He has
only once in his career commanded
a group of ships at sea.i

new sea lord is younger by fourteen
years than his predecessor. He en
tered the navy in 1868 and at first
specialized in navigation. But the
possibilities of the torpedo, which had
only been invented in a very crude
form in 1866, exercises a fascination
( over him, and he soon transferred to
that branch of the service.
The only vessel on which he ever
served as navigating officer was an
old battleship, to which he was ap
pointed on the same day as young
lieutenant, John Jellicoe, now com
mander in chief of the war staff.
Specializing in torpedoes, Admiral
Jackson attained a wide knowledgj,
loth practical and theoretical, of elec
tricity ,for the torpedo officer of a
a modern ship is responsible for the
efficiency of the whole of the electrical
equipment of the vessel. It was in
1891 that the idea of employing Hart
zain waves as a means of communica
tion first suggested itself to him. At
that time the navy was seeking for
some method by which a torpedo boat
could announce its approach to a
friendly ship. For four years he
continued hs experiments in wireless
communication. Though the necessi
ties of the service have prevented the
full story of his work being given to
the world, it is known that at the end
of that time he had succeeded in send
ing messages from one end of the
ship to the other without wires. About
this time, he met Marconi, and the
two became close friends, mutually
assisting each other in developing
their ideas and schemes.
Sir Henry remained responsible for
the progress of wireless telegraphy in
the navy until 1905, when he became
a rear admiral. During these years
his appointments were such as to fa
cilitate the experiments and research
work which he pursued and which
won for him many scientific honors.
He then served for some time as
controller of the navy, being thus re
sponsible for the material of the navy
during the laying of the epoch-making
battleships Dreadnaught and Invinci
ble. He was one of the four captains
on the committee of design which re
commended the construction of these
ships.
In 1911 he was selected to command
the new Naval War College at Ports
mouth, being transferred after two
years to the post of chief of the war
staff. At the beginning of the Euro
pean war he was assigned to special
work at the Admiralty, his particular
task being the direction of the naval
part of the operations against Ger
many's oversea colonies.
He was promoted to be a full ad
miral just a year ago.

Ten years ago a friend told me to try

I keep Black-Draugkt on hand all the
time now, and when my children feel a

does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick

using Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu
