WIRELESS TELEPHONY.
Human Voices Are Readily Heard
Through the Earth.

Sir William Freezes wireless tcie-
phone experiments, by which 1t is an
nouuced il has been possible to hear
distinctly series Of taps used on the
Morse principle, has caused great In
tcrcSt in the electrical world and has
been made the subject Of Il statement
by DR.. Peter Stiens, who hes been hard
at work for years on Il system of Wire
less telephony.
In an interview with representative
Of the London Central News Or. Stiens
said:
Il have read some account of Sir
William Freezes wireless telephone
experiments, but | may say that am
not working on Herzian waves AT all.
My principle is that of using only one
means of conduCtion-na the
earth. simply send electricity through
the earth from one apparatus 20 anoth
er in sympathy with it, No high poles
or balloons or anything of that kind
Is required for my system. e.
MY apparatus is small and portable.
vi course l CauuOl, IOt OBVIOUS Tea-
sons, just ut present tell you about It's
construction and method of use. |
have not had an opportunity of exam
ming Sir William Freezes system, but
see that in the newspaper account
all that is claimed for 1t Is that the
users can hear taps, which. when used
as n Morse system, can be utilized In
the sending Of messages.
Now, from this it would appear that
to be able to use his Invention one
must be telegraph operator or other
person understanding the Morse code.
OF course | don't know what Sir vii.
liam has in mind for the future, but
| claim that by my invention not only
taps, but the spoken words, the sound
Of the human voice, can be heard and
that at great distances with excellent
results. Soon | hope to be in a posi-
ton to give series of practical dem
onstrations In the presence of electrical
cyucrts."
