Chicago appears to be the centre OF great
activity in the line Of experimenting with
wireless telegraphy. 1t y proposed to
equip vessels plying on the Great Lakes
with wireless apparatus. 80 that they may
communicate at any time with stations
situated at various points on the shore.
The Buffalo station Is said to be nearly COM
pleted, and the work Of fitting out stations
at Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland Is now
In progress. The Offices at Buffalo and
Cleveland arc expected to be ready for
business next month. Several steamship
companies have already agreed to employ
the new service. and It Is believed that.
eventually. all the regular boats on the
Lakes win carry wireless Instruments.
II all the promises Of the wireless enthu-
siasts are fulfilled, several Eastern cities
viii soon be In direct touch With the
West by means Of this modern system OF
communication. However this may be,
the experiments involving navigation on
the Great Lakes are interesting.
