THE EXPERIMENT VERY SUCCESSFUL
Orders Sent and Received by Moving

Apart-HiIIs, Buildings and
Winds Do Not Interfere.

NEW YORK, Oct. Blower 80 miles
Of the Atlantic ocean, over housetops,
church spires, towering office buildings,
the Marconi electrical ripples successful
ly carried and dropped messages between
two moving warships yesterday. The ma
val test at sea proved that within ra
dius of II miles messages can be trans
mitted by wireless telegraphy with all
the accuracy and precision of an ordina,
ry land line.
1t also proved that hills, high build
ings, wires and wind currents do not
break the force of the electrical waves
and do not interfere in the slightest de-
gree with the transmission of messages.
BY Encouragement operations on
board the New York were conducted by
Marconi himself. One of his assistants,
named Bradield, operated the instru-

topmast, making its total length from
the ground about 80 feet. Through the
hatchways of the two warships the wires
were extended to the same height.
The message which the New York, as
she passed down the North river sent to
the Massa chusetts, lying at her anchor
age at Thirty-ffth street was read plain
ly in dots and dashes at Navesink, 10
miles away. 1t was, Follow us down at

This message was the overture to the
telegraph testing programme. which in
cludod about IS messages, all of which
had been prepared by the naval board
and were especially difficult. Every five
minutes during her course down the river
the New York telegraphed over the con-
stantly increasing distance to the Massa-
chusctts, and the battleship replied to the
flagship without break. All the mes
sagcs in the correspondence were caught
at Navcsink, and careful record Of
them was kept by Lieutenant Command
