Stubblefield is the inventor of sew
eral electrical contrivances which have
been patented in this country and Eu-
rope. His only assistant in the work
ON the invention has been hfs s14:years-
old son. Bernard b. Stubblefield.} The
father has for years been an$enthusiast
OH the subject of electricity. and the
boy has made playthings of cleo:
trical devices since .babyhood. The
father says the son deserves credit
for numerous valuable suggestions, Civ
en- in the course of working up the de-
tails Of the invention.
Up to this time he has devoted his
entire attention to the construction Of
transmitter. He will now OCCUPY
himself with the completion of an i'm

fected, bring UP the sounds to any de-

lar to those which produced the waves.
4, telephone receiversawil respond to
these secondary vibrations. The re-
$ceivirg and sending2sinstruments will
probably have to be tuned electrically
to one another and by this means a
wireless telephone communication
might be had without fear of some one
tapping the wireless line. Stubblefleld
thinks that transmitter for a long
distance will not have to be Of large
size, and in that event European and
American houses, with properly tuned
Instrument, could hold daily conversa-
tons over wireless instruments no
more cumbersome to the Office than the
first long distance telephone boxes.
The Collins System.
Somewhat different from Stubble-
fields method is the system being per-
fected by Prof. A. Frederick Collins. a
nimble-witted Yankee Of Philadelphia.
To put the case in a nutshell, it may be
stated that he uses terrestrial currents
instead of metallic currents such as are
employed in the old-fashioned tele-
phone or ether waves which are util-
lied by Marconi. The Collins wireless
telephone has not, Of course, yet
reached the stage Of development
which it will ultimately attain, but out
door wireless stations are in constant
operation ct Narberth, Pa. Each ter
minal station consists of an ordinary
camera tripod supporting small wood
en- stand, to which is affixed by means
Of a brass rod a cup-like transmitter,
such as is used in ordinary telephon-
ing, and two intensity coils enclosed in
hard rubber, together with the pieces
of copper sheathing technically known
us "condensers." Below the tripod is
a shallow hole in the ground, in which
is buried small zinc wire screen, and
this is connected by means Of wire
to the mechanism on the tripod plat
form. With this system in it's primary
form it is possible to send message
but one way-that is, if the person
listening to message wishes to reply
he must talk into an apparatus similar
to that at the sending station. But
the wireless instruments designed for
regular use, as for instance, those in
actual service at the present time in a
Philadelphia Office building, are CON-
bination installations-the transmitter
being fitted with a receiving annex and
the receiver with a sending attach
ment, and are identical in general ap-
pearance with the familiar form Of tel
ephone in universal use to-day in Of
fees and residences.

interruption. Through the crack of
