EARTH CURVATURE.

Marconi's Feat.

MafCCni eat.
New York, Dec. pm. l. Pupin,
professor of electrical mechanics al
Columbia university in All interview
says he fully believes that MarcCni
succeeded in signalling between the
coasts of Newfoundland and Cornwall.
England, by his system of wireless
telegraphy. The professor said:
cone point which is of great value
and interest to the scientific world is
that MarcOni has proved cOnclusively
that the curvature of the earth is no
obstacle to the system of wireless
telegraphy. 1t still remains to be
proved, however, that heavy banks of
fog, low hanging clouds and heavE
showers along and in the path of the
transmitted wave will not entirely OBJ
struct it's progress. The presumption
generally is that they will, as expert
ments thus far have proved AtntOs-
pheric conditions have also much to
do with, and strongly affect the
electric wave"

DESPITE the delicate situation, the hope
is still entertained that war will be
avoided. In public manifestations on
the streets the energetic attitude
OF the government is applauded.
1t has been decided to establish a
large factory near Rosario for making
