WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
System for Increasing Its Range by
Tandem Kite System.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S,-William A.
Eddy. who has just arrived in Bay
onne. from Noank. Conn. has written
to Mr., Marconi, lnclosing diagrams OF
an improved tandem kite system for
reaching height of 5000 feet with Ma
jor Baden-P Powelrs system Of kites.
He thinks this system will enable Mar
coma to send messages at least 1000
miles because every increase in height
has so far enormously increased the
range Of wireless telegraph, Should
the receiving vessel 1000 miles out at
sea also send up receiving wire by
means OF kite storm fliers to a height
Of 500 feet. Mr., Eddy thinks the 1000
mile limit would be more than doub-
led, Major Baden-Powel fastens
one kite to the back of another when
dying the kites tandem but Mr.. Eddy
says with the improved system of fas-
tcning radiating lines to main line
the safety will be greater than with
one kite. because II one kite gives out
the others will sustain the apparatus.

The humiliating restrictions which
the Chinese Exclusion Act has placed
on the entry Of Chinese merchants,
travellers and students into this
country seem likely 10 undo al The ad-
vantage which has been gained
through the friendly attituie Of our
government during the recent nego-
tiatlons between the powers and China.
But for the reopening OF the Chinese
markets and the resumption OF the or
dinary currents Of trade beginning
from this year We should have had a
very serious state Of things in the
great cotton industry OF the United
States. Half the cotton mills Of the
South are absolutely dependent upon
the Chinese consumer Tor their output
OF cloth. and In default o. orders f.om
China nothing couli prevent de-
structive competition between New

industries have as well defined an in

cotton industry already possesses and
care should be taken not to prejudice
our Chinese customers against u.s."
