The latest achievement of Sienor
Marconi in transmitting a message
with his wireless system over dis
lance of 1,551.5 miles not only breaks
all previous records for wireless teleg-
raphy, but it brings more fully to the
front the value of this means of COM
munication as a practical commercial
enterprise. It may not have solved
the problem Of sending wireless mes
sages across the Atlantic, but it has
demonstrated that the system is likely
ultimately to supplant the cable for
short distances in marine telegraphy.
