WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Expcriments Recently Conducted in
England Reported to Have
Proved Satisfactory.

The application of what is called
wireless telegraphy to practical pur-
poses has made great advances during
the last few months. the British post
Office having erected experimental sta
tions In she Solent, one at Bornemouth,
and the other at Alum bay, in the Isle
Of Wight distance of four and n half
miles. Across this distance, and even
further, signals have been sent with
entire success, and communications
were made to vessel cruising about
In the open with equally satisfactory
result. The system under trial was
that OF Marconi, and the apparatus at
either end was Of relatively simple
character. Its visible portion consist
ed Of mast over 100 feet high. In
side the transmitting station was
powerful induction coil, by means of
which spark was connected between
two balls. One ball was connected
with the upright wire. the other with
the earth. When n spark passes the
wire gives out electrical radiations or
waves In every direction, and some OF
these are caught by n corresponding
upright wire at the receiving end, and
transmitted to n suitable piece of up
paratus known as a "cohcrer." Tie
coherer Is n glass tube, into which are
sealed two silver pole pieces. the space
between which contains metal filings,
which are not ordinarily conductors
OF electricity. As soon as n current
or discharge reaches them, however,
they set themselves In an cnd-on po-
sition and become conductors. The
slightest tap disarranges them and
turns them again into nonconductors.
II may be seen then how by means OF
a suitable automatic tapping arrange
ment the cohcrer can be kept In a
sensitive state for registering inter
mittent electric signals. These aro
developed by an ordinary relay ar-
rangement, and are automatically
written down by O Morse recorder.
theoretically there is no reason why,
with vertical wires OF suitable length
and sufficiently powerful discharges,
the radiations should not be transmit
ted to very great distance and picked
up. The experiments no far completed
however, seem 70 show that no difIl-
Guilty whatever could be experienced
in communicating across the air to
lighthouse or guardship, where sub
marine cable would be destroyed. Wet
or fogGy weather only improves the
signals.-N. Y. Times.

AEour RUBBER TIRES

At frat II was feared that rubber
