nicatiOn with ships 800 miles from
shore. A dispatch from Washington
says that the first government wireless
telegraph station has been completed
at Roanoke, N. c.. and Prof. Fessenden
who had the work in charge, has been
ordered to Hatteras, where a similar
station is to be equipped. Subsequent
ly he will superintend the institution of
other stations at Cape Henry and else
where along the coast.
The governments experiments in
wireless biography were begun about a
year ago under the direction of Secre-
tary Wilson of the department of agri-
culture at laboratory on Cobb's island
in the Potomac river, between 60 or 20
miles from Washington, a plant of
which the public has heard little or no
thing. Prof. Fessenden was in charge of
work there and according to Prof.
Willis Moore of the weather bureau, the
results obtained were most satisfactory.

ington was successfully attempted over
go miles of rough country, by means of
apparatus, the nature of which is not
yet revealed If successful comunica-
ton can be established by the weather
bureau with ships far out at sea, and
if the late Prof. Gray's device for COM
municating with vessels proves practi-
cable, much of value will have been
done for ocean traffic.
Prof. Moore makes this qualifying OBJ
servation, however, as to the present
value of wireless telegraphy:
II ought to say that it does not seem
that wireless telegraphy can be used
for ordinary commercial purposes on
land as yet. The earth disturbances
and the conditions that surround cities
are of such a type that wireless trans
mission is not perfected to the point
where it can be applied generally
