Wireless Telegraphy Test.

New York, Oct. 27.-The navy department
on Thursday began a series of experiments
with the Marconi system of wireless teleg--
raphy, with the object of determining it's
practicability for general use for naval
purposes on sea and land. The expert
ments will extend over a period of several
days and the results in detail will be set
forth in report to be submitted to the
bureau of equipment by a board of naval
experts, which has been appointed espe-
cially for this work. The particular OBJ

half the average speed maintained on the
ordinary instrument Signor Marconi ex-
planned that this speed could be greatly
increased, and in fact the Instruments dur

sending of a series OF numbers of various
