Wireless Telegraphy.

The announcement made some months
ago that a young Italian had discovered
means of telegraphing between distant
places without the use of connecting wires
or conductors was received with more than
the usual amount of credulity because it
had the endorsement of Mr. Preece, the
chief electrician of the British Postal Ser
vice 1t appears now, however, that the
apparatus is far from being in condition to
be used commercially over long distances.
1t is little more than a scientific toy, and
there has been no discovery of a new prin
ciple-nothing more, in fact, than more
OF less ingenious adaptation of apparatus to
make use of known electrical phenomena.
Electro magnetic waves. known as Hert
zian waves, are employed, and the trans
mitter is only modified form of Hertz 8
radiator The Hertzian wave is thrown
off sideways from metallic conductor,
when an electric current in the latter is
interrupted with great frequency. The
transmitting apparatus is 50 constructed as
to generate a secondary current Of very high
Hertz waves at very high rate, estimated
to be $50, 900, 900 per second. The use
of these waves is to bring about cOndi
I ton of electrical resonance in the recelv-
ing apparatus or relay which has been
tuned to respond to the vibrations. The
receiving apparatus represents the nven-
ton of Marconi Two cylindrical bits of
silver form the terminals Of a local circuit
in which there Is a sounder They are
enclosed in a glass tube from which the
air has been exhausted, but are separated
iii their bases by about one tiftieth OF an
/ inch The space between them is filled
with mixture Of fine nickel and silver
/ filings to which trace Of mercury has
| been added. Under these conditions the
/ current from IL local battery will not flow
! through the apparatus unless the latter Is
/ exposed to the influence of the Hertzlan
waves. Under that influence the filings
become polari2ed-arange themselves IN
order-and form conductor through
I which the current passes to operate the
! sounder They have tendency, how
ever to remain polarized. and to overcome
/ this a tiny electrical hammer is made to
hit the tube frequently, thus disturbing
their orderly arrangement and preparing
them to be in condition to resist the pas
sage of Il current except in response to the
impulses of the Hertzian waves. The re-
ceiving apparatus is of such form as t"
be easily artmcd to the transmitter
The Marconi apparatus has been used t"
telegraph between points eight miles apart.
\ coil capable Of giving Il aix-inch spark
i, required for four miles and more power
litl coils f"r greater distances. This puts
practical cost limit ON the use of the APP
paratus for longer distances. There are,
of course. exceptional conditions under
which a wireless system of teIe@raphy
would be valuable for much shorter dis
tanccS than four miles and it /. quite pos
sible that Marcoui' invention may lead Il"
others in the same line: but the prospect
tor the displacement Of wires altogether Is
not At all encouraging.

The Quickest Horses in the World

The Quickest Horses in the World
The quickest horses in the world were
at one time in Kansas City, at the head
quarters of its Fire Department, directly
under the office of the chief, George C.
Hale To Mr.. Hale's genius, more than
to any other factor, the quick horse owed
his first development, for Mr.. Hale is the
inventor of the earliest swinging harness,
which made the quick horse possible
When Henry NJ. Stanley and his wife
were in this country they witnessed an eX-
hibition drill of the Kansas City Fire De
partment The drill so impressed the Wis
itors that an account of it was published
in a London journal, and this English az
ticle brought an invitation to Mr. Hale to
visit England as the representative Of the
American fire service at the International
fire tournament.
Mr.. Hale and picked corps went to
England, taking with them the remark
ably quick horses Joe and Dan, aud they
became world famous. As the quickest
Harvesting time of the London fire brigade
is one minute seventeen and a half seconds.
and the Kansas City horses were harnessed
in one and three-quarter seconds, and
were out of the engine house in less than
eight seconds, there could be no competi-
ton. In Kansas City four fine bays were
harnessed to the hook and ladder truck
almost as quickly as even Joe and Dan
could jump into their harnesses. 1t was
a pretty sight to see these four well-kept
horses spring to their places at the stroke
of the gong, and in two or three seconds
stand ready to run with the apparatus.
Joe was killed by an accident, but Dan,
with new mate, is still in service and as
quick as ever.
The record for quickest time from the
engine house to the throwing of water on
the fire is held by Kansas City company.
In this instance the hcrses were harnessed.
a run of 2194 feet Ca little less than half
a mile) was made, and water thrown from
the hose in the wonderfully brief time of
one minute thirty one and half seconds.
