wrote the article which we reproduce
elsewhere entitled 1.-THE State Univer-

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHv.
Recent British Invention of Enormous In
terest.

W. H. Preece, the telegraph expert of
the Post Office had surprise in store
for his audience at Toynbes Hall on Sat
urday night when he lectured ON "Tele-
graphy Without Wires" says the London
Chronicle. There is, of course, nothing
new in the fact of being able to oommu-
nicate without wires, but towarl the
close of hissleoture Mr. Preece announced
that new invention which might have
the widest possible influence not only on
the future of telegraphy, but on the safe
navigation of ships, had lately been
brought before the department., and no
expense would be spared to thoroughly
test it. Mr.. Marconi, young italian
electrician, came to him recently, he
said, with system of telegraphy with
out wires, depending not on electro-mag-
netic, but on electr3statiu effeots-that
ia to say, on electric waves set up, of
much higher rate OF vibration-250, 900,
600 second, in fact. These vibrations
were projected through space in straight
Ines, and could be reflected and re-
fracted like light-indeed, they were ca
pable of all the phenomena which light
wat allowed to go through. The inven-
ton which dealt with the method Of re-
ceiving and sending messages by this
means-was first experimented with on
the roof of the post office and then for
tbree-q uarters of mile on Salisbury
Plain. MIR. Marcuni was present that
night, and this WAS the first occasion on
which the apparatus had been shown, ex-
oept to government officials. The great
difference between the systsm viii ch
had already been tried and Mr.. Marconi's
system was that in the former wire on
each side was necessary, and in the lat
