The idea oftransmitting intelligence n.
cross liycrs without the use Of wires seems
an ahsurbty, and yet we learn that Mr.
Norse's experiments so far Justify his an
tlcipltions of accomplishing such a result
We hope Congress will fursh him with
the means of establishing a perfect ,clc.
graphic communication between this city
and Washington. The cost OF such an un
dertaking would be ,riAing compnred with
the public advantage We take the follow.
ING from the Picayunc, as Illustrative of
Mr. Morse's oXCrlions in the cause Of sci
cnce:
We stated some weeks since that Pro.
fessor Morse had made an invention hv
which he could communicate intelligence
across river, without the interposi,ion of
a wire. THIS was deemed very wonder.

it may never happen that any body (being
as near 10 the negalivo mass as the positive
mass Of steel is) would have any electricity

almost entirely pass along the line OF the
telegraph"
This correspondent adds the following,
which is so astounding us to lead us to be.
lievc the whole matter may be hoax:
sit is even hoped that a Geographic
communication may be made with Europe
at no very great expense The steel mag
net, however. would require to be very
large and powerful to counieract any small
current Of electricity that might be passing
in other directions. | believe that expert
mcnts are now making, or are soon to be
made, that will test the praclabilny Of this. u
