success of his experiments on the Philadelphia
In the afternoon when some one spoke to him
about putting the cable companies out or the

words 1t is quite possible that business will in
crease go that there will he enough for both
systems. However only time Will tell that L

Mr. Marconi said yesterday that he was still
not at liberty to discuss the agreement be-
tween his company and the Canadian Govern
ment, but hoped to be able to do so IN day
two.
The arrival in port yesterday of the Umbria
still further backed up his statement that none
of the messages sent to him on board the Phile-

Mr.. Marconi prefers not to talk freely con-

partly. perhaps, because some of them are stli
unprotected by patents. He was kind enough
yesterday, nevertheless, to afford a little in
formation concerning the operation of tuning
upon which the value of his system of wireless
teegraphy largely depends.
A violin string emitting a certain note will
cause tuning fork to respond II both have ex-
acty the same natural rate of vibration. The
size and tension OF the string control its musical
pitch and the size and length of the steel pIongs
govern that of the fork. Varying these factors
changes the frequency of the vibrations, and so
throws them out of harmony. In that case the
fork will not give any sound in sympathy with
the string Every electrical circuit-a cCntinu-
sequence of wire, either with or without
instruments along the route-shows preference
for some particular frequency when conducting
a rapidly alternating current. This may be
called its natural rate. The circuit will con-
duct alterations of other frequencies OF course,
