Morse telegraph code Is used and either
received audibly or upon tapes, as In the
original Morse instruments. The sound
will differ from the usual Morse alphabet
as heard, for the reason that the dots and
dashes will come single and direct, while
on the keys now in use with the ordinary
telegraph there are two sounds for each
dot and each dash. The transmission OF
messages by the wireless system produces
a great noise, each spark causing a report
like the discharge Of a pistol. For this
reason the transmitter is enclosed In a box
surrounded with material which deadens
the sound so ehectually that IL makes no
more confusion than the ordinary tele-
graph instrument, but at times sparks will
hy from the wires over which the message
Is conveyed to the cir.
Comparison of Costs.
The commercial value Of the invention
is shown by the fact that the total cost
Of equipping the stations at Kansas City
and Omaha will not exceed $1,000. while
the company contracts to maintain the
service between the two towns for $500
per year. The same service over the or
binary telegraph system would cost $4,000
per year.
From Omaha Mr.. de Forest goes to Seat
tie to take preliminary steps for the con-
struction Of a system from that place to
Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian islands, from
which point Il will be carried to Nome and
later to Japan, which is the objective point
Of the Pacific system. It is estimated that
the total cost Of the system between Amer
lea and japan will not exceed $500 900, while
1t costs S12, 600. 900 to lay a cable between
the same countries.
TIL company will equip a station at the
st. Louis exposition and arrangements have
been made with a st. Louis paper to have
its exposition reports sent to the city by
the wireless system. The St. Louis sta
tion will be d reproduction of the one which
is to be constructed at Seattle.
Work Of construction problbly will not
begin at South Omaha for a month, as the
constructing engineers are now engaged al

where they will be busy until af.er May 1.
