WIREI.Ess TEIEGRAPHY

The announcement made some
months ago that young Italian had
discovered a means of telegraphing be-
tween distant places without the use Of
connecting wires or conductors was re-
ceived with mere 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 con-
dition to be used commercially over
,Ong distances. 1t is little more than
a scientific toy, and there has been
no discovery of a new principle-noth-
ing more. in fact, than a more or less
ingenious adaptation OF apparatus to
make use of known electrical phenom-
ena. Electromagnetic waves, known
as Hertzian waves, are employed, and
the transmitter is only a modified form
OF HeTtz's radiator The Hertzian wave
is thrown OF sideways from a metallic
conductor, when an electric current in
the latter is interrupted with great
frequency. The transmitting apparatus
is so constructed as to generate a sec
ondary current OF very high voltage.an
to set up electromagnetic or Hertz
waves at very high rate, estimated to
be 25O, ,OO0, 600 per second. The use Of
these waves is to bring about a condi-
ton Of electrical resonance in the re-
ceiving apparatus or relay which has
been tuned to respond to the vibra-
tions. The receiving apparatus repre-
sents Mr.. NIarconi's invention. Two cy-
lindrical bits Of silver for the termi-
mails Of a local circuit in which there
is a sounder. They are enclosed in
glass tube from which the air has been
exhausted, but are separated at their
bases by about one-fftieth Of an inch.
The space between them is filled with
mixture of fine nickel and silver nj
| ings to which trace OF mercury has
been added. Under these conditions the
current from a local battery will not
flow through the apparatus unless the
latter is exposed to the influence of
the Hertzian waves. Under that in
huence the filings become pOlarized-
arrange themselves in order-and form
al conductor through which the cur
rent passes to operate the sounder.
They have a tendency, however, to re-
main polarized, and to overcome this a
tiny electrical hammer lis made to fit
the tube frequently, thus disturbing
their orderly arrangement and prepar-
ing them to be in a condition TO resist
the passage of a current except in re-
Spouse to the impulses Of the Hertzlan
waves. The receiving apparatus is OF
such a form as to be easily attuned to
the transmitter.
The Marconi apparatus has been
used to telegraph between points eight
miles apart. A coil capable Of Civ
ing a six-inch spark is required for
four miles and more powerful coils for
greater distances. There are, Of course,
exceptional conditions under which a
wireless system of telegraphy would be
valuable for much shorter distances
than four miles, and it is quite possible
that Marconis invention may lead to
others in the same line, but the pros
pect Tor the displacement Of wires alto
gether is not at all encouraging
