Count Pilsoudslii of the Russian
army experimental with his new sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy before Il
committee of French experts. The en-
perts say it is superior to Marconfs
methods, except for sea telegraphy.
Colonel Pilsoudski proved that elec-
tric waves are transmitted with more
intensity through the ground than
through the air. The experiments
showed that Instruments of insigniti-
cant power transmit with perfect
clearness at n distance of one kilome-
ter about three-tifths of a mile mes
snges which could affect an aerial re-

tance. The inventor claims that the
distance of ground transmission is un-
