Naval Experiments Win wireless TeIeg-
raphy.

The experiments with wireless teleg-
raphy conducted by the navy Monday were
highly successful. The test at sea proved
that within a radius of 2l miles messages
can be transmitted by wireless telegraphy
with all the accuracy and precision of an
ordinary land line. 1t also proved that
hills, high buildings, wires and wind cur
rents do not break the force of the electrical
waves, and do not interfere in the slightest
degree with the transmission of messages.

er New York, with assistants on the battle
