Thu postofice department OF Great
Britain Is experimenting on new sys-
TEN OF telegraphy which is embodied
In the following idea: THE system de-
ponds not on electromagnetic but cleo
tro-stAtic effects that IL 10 say. on
electric waves OF a much higher rate OF
vibration, not less than 2b0,OOO,OOO a
second-that Is. HertIlan waves
These vibrations are projected through
space in straight lines. and. like light.
are capable OF reflection and retraetion.
Indeed. they exhibit all Of the phenom-
ena which characterize light. More
than ten years ago the discovery was
made In a London Office In the Tele-
phone Exchange that operators read
from sound messages that we're In
transit from London 10 Bradford by
telegraph wires. Other experiments
have demonstrated the possibility OF
telegraphing though the wires were
broken The probabilities are that the
attraction is strong enough 10 continue
the sound through the space between
the broken ends OF the lines.
