Not Wireless Telegraphy.

Professor John Trowbridge, writing
in Appleton's Popular Science Monthly
for November says:
The term wireless biography is a
misnomer, for without wires the
method would not be possible. The phe-
nomenon is merely an enlargement of
one that we are fully coDsc.ous.of in the
case of telegraph and telephone cir
cults. which is termed electro magnetic
Induction. Whenever an electric cur
rent suddenly flows or suddenly ceases
to flow along a wire, electrical currents
are caused by induction in neighboring
wires. The receiver employed by Mar
conf is a delicate spark caused by this
induction, which forms bridge SO that
an electric current from the relay bat
terry can pass and influence magnetic
instruments
Many investigators have succeeded
before Marconi in sending Geographic
messages several miles through the air
or ether between two points not di-
rectly connected by wires. Marconi has
extended the distance by employing a
much higher electro-motive force at the
sending station and using the feeble
inductive effect at a distance to set in
action local battery.
1T is evident that wires are needed
at the sending station. from every point
of which magnetic and electric waves
are sent out, and wires at the receiving
station which embrace. SO to speak,
these waves. These waves produce
minute sparks in the receiving instru-
ment. which act like suddenly drawn
fioodgate in allowing the current from
a local battery TO flow through the cir
cult in which the spark occurs, and
thus produce a click on a Geographic
instrument.
I'VE have said that messages had
been sent by what is called wireless
telegraphy before Marconi made his ex-
periments. These messages had also
been sent by induction. signals on one
wire being received by parallel and
distant wire. To Marconi is due the
credit of greatly extending the method
By using vertical wire"

THE COUNT IN KENTUCKY.
Both Sides Are Still Claiming Vic
tory by Small Maiorities.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 1l.-Reports
have been received by the Commercial
Republican, up to midnight from Ill
of the 119 counties giving the official
count. These give Goebel pluralities
of II, 1853 and Taylor pluralities of 1S,4S5;
Goebels net plurality 3,734.
The eight unreported counties are
Rowan, Jefferson. Knox and Harrison,
in which the canvassing boards have
adjourned until Monday, and Johnson.
Menefee, Cumberland and Letcher,
which have not yet sent in their Off
cial counts. These eight counties, ac-
cording to the unofficial figures, here
tofore received by the Commercial. give
Taylor pluralities of 6.656 and GoebeI
pluralities of 1,os2; Taylor's net plural
ity, 1924. Deducting from this Goe-
bells plurality of 1874 in Ill counties,
leaves Taylor a plurality in the whole
state of 1880.
The Democratic unofficial returns
from the eight unreported counties
show net Taylor plurality of 1852.
Using these figures with the CONNER
calls official plurality of 1874 from Ill
counties, still leave Taylor plurality
of 1,21S.
Much depends, however. upon con-
telts being made in several counties on
the ground of alleged irregularities. The
determination of these points may
cause change from present estimates
of the result. The official count has
shown the two candidates for governor
ran far ahead of their tickets all over
the state.
