81, Johns, Newfoundland. Dec. A.-Sig.
Marconi announces that he has received
annals across the Atlantic ocean from his
= station In Cornwall. England. by wireless
te3egraphy. This is probably the stepping
stone to the practical solution Of the most
dffacult scientific problem Of modern times.
when the system is perfected. as the great
inventor promises It will be. man may COM
municate from continent to continent.
though thousands of miles intervene, With
cut the aid OF wires.
Narconi explains that before leaving Eng
land he made plans for accomplishing this
result. for while his primary object was TO
c~ommunicate with ocean liners In midocean
he hoped also to succeed in obtaining the
wonderful scientific achievement Of wireless
telegraphy across the Atlantic.
R0WERvUL SENDING
STATION IN ENGLAND.
6ignof Marconis station in Cornwall. is
most powerful. He possesses an electric
force. generated there. a hundred times
create than at his ordinary stations. Be
fore he left England he arranged that the
electrician in charge OF the station. which
q located at Poldhu. should begin sending
signals daily after a certain date. which
1arconi would cable him after having per-
fected his arrangements here.
etgnor Marconi arrived here a week ago
Friday. selected Signal Hill. at the entrance
Of the harbor. as an experimental station
and moved his equipment there. Last Mon
dag he cabled to the Poldhu Station to be-
Gin sending signals at 3 p. m. daily. and to
continue them until G p. m, these hours be-
ING respectively U:30 a. N. and go p. m,
q Johns time.
During these hour. Wednesday, Signor
Narconi elevated a kite with an aerial wire
BY means OF which signals are sent or re-
eeived. He remained at the recorder. at
tached to the receiving apparatus, and to
~ profound satisfaction, signals We're re-
eaved by him at intervals, according to the
prds rammea arranged previously with the op-
traitor at Poid!lu.

These signals consisted of repeating at in

code II made by three dots or quick strokes.

conf Was satisfied that 1t was a genuine |
transmission from England.
Again. on Thursday, during the same !
hours. the kite was elevated and the same |
signals were renewed. This made the assur-
ance complete that Signor Marconi cabled
to his Principals in England. and also in
formed the Governor Of New Foundland,
Senior Carendish Boyle, who appraised the
British Cabinet of the success of the en-
periments.
gkSTEM Is IN
kNBR1ONIC STATE.
a Signor Marconi, though satisfied of the
'geluineness OF the signals and that he has
succeeded in his attempts in establishing
communication without tha use of wires
ACROSS the Atlantic. emphasizes the fact
that the system is yet only in an embryonic
state and that the possibility OF its ulti-
mate development IS demonstrated by the
success Of the present experiments with IN
complete and imperfect apparatus. as the
signals can only be received by the most !
sensttively adjusted apparatus. and Signor
Aarconi is working under great difficulties
owing to the conditions prevailing here. The
Cornwall coast is TO, miles from St. Johns.
