tematically the investigation and tests
are being constantly made.
The English Admiralty has thirty

TEN; over fifty vessels and land sta
tons have been equipped by the Slaby-
Arco, another German system, while
the De Forest company has equipped
several United States men-Of-war and
furnished instruments to the United
States army and signal corps. 1t will
be seen that the various governments
realize the immense strategic value
of wireless telegraphy in the event OF
war, and that the same serious care
and detail is being given to it that
has made the fighting armament what
it is to-day-a marvel of ingenuity,
strength and power.
When the war in South Africa came

and its inherent characteristics were
not very well understood. 1t is not

suddenly shouted to make ready the

through the air h~eavenward several

wire which is ordinarily suspended
from a mast. simultaneously the re-

and it was found that it required
inst five minutes to get everything

visible electric waves by means of
he aerial wire. The generator is an
induction coil, having a spark-gap con
nected to a copper cylinder, or "arti-
hc1al earth" as it is termed, and the
aerial wire. The induction coil is
fed by the dynamo, which is in turn
operated by the g%asolene engine.
The receiver, occupying the second
carriage, employs a cOherer for de-
tectlng the presence of the electric
waves bearing the message and the

less telegraphy and that devised by
Prof. Braun is that the former re,
quires a ground connection with the
instruments, a piece of sheet copper
being buried in the earth and con-
nected with the sending and receiv-
ing apparatus.
In stations where the equipments
are located permanently cylinders
made Of copper are substituted for
the earth, and are therefore termed
artificial earths," but in the portable
sets the tire Of the carriage is used
to make connection with the earth.
The first attempt to use wireless
telcgraphy in actual warfare was
made by MarCOni at the request of the
British War Office during the South
African war. 1t was the intention of
the War Department that wireless
communication should be established
at the base Of supplies and on the
railways, but when Marconi's assist
ants arrived the officers were exceed
ingly anxious that the instruments
should be sent to the front, realizing
the immense advantage such a mode
of communication would be, and SO,
on Dec. II, 1899, the apparatus was
conveyed to the camp at DE Aar.
The operators, however, on arriv-
ing at De Aar, found that no arrange
ments had been made to supply the
masts, and the country at that point
being barren of trees, the instru-

ments were rendered useless until, at
the suggestion Of Major Baden-Powell
and Capt. Kennedy, some kites were
manufactured and communication was
at once established.
The experiments were not always
successful, for the wind was cor
stantly shifting and variable, and it
often happened that when a gale was
blowing at one station there was not
enough breeze to fly a kite at the op-
posite station with which they were
attempting to communicate.
This partial failure was due to the
lack of proper preparation on the part
of the local military authorities ana
not to the iron in the hills, as was
reported at the time. On days when
he kites could be raised and main
tanned, wireless telegraph messages
we're easily transmitted between the
De Aar ard Orange River stations,
a distance of seventy miles.

gen balloons, with cylinders OF COM
pressed gas for initiating them, so that
in the event of a calm, still day, when
it is impossible to fly the lightest kite,
the balloons are brought forth, in
fated. the aerial wire is attached and
the whole is permitted to soar grace
fully upward through the realm OF
air and ether.
The experience which was purchased
at so great a price in the South Afrl-
can war has not been without its value,
for from that day to the present time
tests have been conducted by the mil
itarv authorities of the world to de-
termiue on the best method for elevat-
ing The aerial wire, and the results Of
these rigid trials have shown that
kites especially adapted to the We
locitv of the wind must be useo.
Thus it is that if a slight breeze is
lowing the aerial wire is best raised
bv means of a tailless kite, such as
the Malay kite, or, as its improved
form is called, an Eddy, or, what is
still better, a Horsman keel kite,
which is like a Malay kite, but is
provided with a deep fin or keel along
it's flying face, which keeps it true as
it scars on the breeze. In heavy

In the next war wireless telegraphv
Will prove an important factor.
Whether the battle be waged on land
or sea, between armies or navies, the
wireless transmission of intelligence
Will loom up, a gigantic spectre
reade by the enemy like a mirage
IN the desert by the traveller.
Ever since the advent of this seem
Ing miracle, equaling in every re-
spect the telepathy of which we have
SO long dreamed, the Powers of he
world have been testing it's merits
so that when the next war is on and
the crucial moment arrives, troops
or vessels may communicate with
each other even though a distance of
fifty miles separates them.
The military wireless telegraph
here illustrated is known as the
"Reminiscences & Holske system, and
is the invention of Prof. Ferdinand
Braun, instructor in electrical en-
cheering in the Physical Institute,
S~trassburg, Germany, and the appa-
ratus is manufactured by the Sic
mems & HOlske Electric company of
Berlin.
The equipments were specially de-
signed for the recent German army
maneuyers and were placed in charge
of the Royal Military Airship Bat
TALON. During the trials Of trans
hitting and receiving wireless mes
sages after hard runs and forced
marches the results were witnessed
by the Kaiser, who eyinced his ap-
prOval of the operations.
The conditions under which the bat
TALON rendered its teIegraphic service
were severe in the extreme, as, for
instance, in the cross country runs,
