Tests in wireless TeIegrnphy.

Boston, Aug. A.-Experiments with
wireless telegraphy have been made at the
Blue Hill Observatory recently by the use
of kites. The work has been under the di-
rection of Lawrence Rotch, who will con-
tinue the experiments in the effort to solve
interesting problems connected with wire
less telegraphy. So far no effort has been
made to send messages further than to a
receiving station on Mount Chickatawbut,
about three miles away. Later, however, a
receiving station will be established on
Harvard Memorial Tower in Cambridge,
twelve miles distant. The experiments SO
far have been based on the Marconi sys-
tenn and a Marconi transmitter has been
used, copper wires being attached TO kites
at both stations, instead of 10 masts, as in
the Marconi experiments. Although the
experiments by Mr.. Rotch have been in
many ways successful, yet something has
interfered with the perfect working of the
system. The operators have succeeded in
transmitting signals from station to sta
ton, but the current has often been dis
turbed. by the electricity in the atmos-
phere. When the receiving station is es-
tablished at Harvard il is hoped to find
some way of overcoming the effect of the
atmospheric electricity. The work in the
future will be done largely under the di-
rection of Prof. Sabine, of Harvard.

ment OF American commerce with Japan
and the market there opening for Ameri-

| No other nation has experienced such a

Japan as has the United States. Japanese
official figures give the importations from

Japah's exports have doubled and the
imports have trebled during the period un-

With a yearly consuming power OF

are worthy of careful study. This is espe-
