Underground wireless. rsl.er.phy.

Count Pilsoudski of the Russian
army experimental with his new sys-
tenn Of wireless telegraphy before
committee Of French experts. The ex-
perts say 1t is superior to Marconrs
methods, except for sea telegraphy.
Colonel Pilsoudski proved that cleo
tric waves are transmitted with more
intensity through the ground than
through the air. The experiments
showed that instruments Of insignifi
cant power transmit with perfect
clearness at distance of one kilome-
ter (abOut three-fifths Of mile) mes
sages which could affect an aerial re-
ceiving station only one-fifth of the dis
tance. The inventor claims that the
distance Of ground transmission is un-
limited.
