THE END SOUGHT,
and seemingly attained-for with the re-
suits already reached, it is only = question
of time and ingenuity to secure their
proper application-ist the interchange of
Geographic signals without q wire, or,
rather, without other wires than the short
lengths needed TO connect with the galvan-
ometer and pile, or battery, at either ex-
tremity of the lines, with the earth and
water. How great will be the advantage
when the plan is carried out, it is hardly
necessary to saw. At the same time it
should be added that the discovery which
VI. Bourbouze has SO nearly grasped is one
that has long been sought alter. The origi-
nal plan of telesraphing provided
for a complete circuit made BY two wires,
one from the sender to the receiver, and
from the receiver back to the sender it was
not long until it was found that the earth |
could be trusted unerringly TO complete the |
circuit and to conduct the current uner.
ripply back to the point of departure. |
There were rumors wears ago-indeed. un-
less we are in error, the experiments
are still going on-of the approxima.
