The success OF wireless biography
cannot be considered as assured. 1t
has bv no means fulhued it's promise,
though it has proved of utility, as has
been the case here on these Islands,
after causing great deal of trouble
and disappointment it has certainly
served to carry messages between
here and Huo, but the service is eX-
prnsive, and at times is delayed rms
is not caused by carelessness on the
part of the servants of the company
or by the fault of the machines or in
sstruments in use, but is unavoidable
because of the number of hands mes
sage passes through.
THAT wireless telegraphy is not re-
garded as a success, though it has
measure of success, is proved by the
fact that it does not make it's way with
the rapidity which it should. With the
exception of communications between
ships and shore, and between ships at
sea there is very little practical appH-
cation of the system. There are SO
MANY places where the system might
be used. and where it is not used. The
islands off the coast Of Scotland de-
pend for communication upon cables.
The West Indies Islands have not
adopted the system. Though great
things were predicted for it during the
Roer war it made no Roadway.
Marconi, within the last year made
series of experiments which went to
show that the system might be applied
TO great distances, as from the coast
of North America to that of Europe,
but beyond a few signals, nothing
pract. al has come of his experiments.
If the system of wireless telegraphy
has proved unsatisfactory for short
distances, it was evident that the long
distance was likely to remain iptaugi-

differently and point to the fact that an
offer Of half the amount was then
made. The estate having gone into the
hands OF a practical cattle man like
Francis Gay, there is every chance of
its being developed upon up-to-date
lines. Tho success of the Gay family

ment argues equal success upon La
mai. There is probably no more ideal

not be developed on similar lines. The
price Of sheep and cattle is high, and
there is an immense demand for it.
Just now the ranch business is the
most profitable that we have on the
Islands.

BILE as a dream. 1t has always been 4
matter of discussion why Marconi did
not devote his attention to the perfect
ing of his short distance system, before
attempting his long distance work.
The theory has been advanced that he
wished to alarm the telegraph com
panies, and in this he succeeded in a
measure among some of the sharehold-
ers. But comfort has come even to
them.
Lord Kelvin, one of the leading scien-
tiic thinkers of the day, is recently re-
ported to have said dto the secretary
Of the Anglo-American Telegraph
Company: Il have given careful con-
sideration to this subject and do not
believe the shareholders of your COM
pany need be alarmed at the prospect
Of wireless telegraphy." Basing his
views upon this and other researches,
the secretary further states that he
l.new of nothing to alter his opinion
that although wireless telegraphy
would carry a certain class of mes
sages, such as those between ships or
between ships and shore, there was no
reason why it would compete in the
class Of kilograms sent by cable COM
panies."
OF course in the case of the secretary
Of the Anglo-American Company the
wish is father to the thought, but in
the case Of Lord Kelvin the opinion is
entirely unbiased. We may be thank
full for what we have in wireless COM
between the Islands, but
we can also be satisfied that if the sys-
tenn is not improved, we have not
perfect system by any means, and are
not ahead of the old cable system. 1t
will be interesting to see what the
Mackay Gable Company will do with
egard to inter-island communication.
