WHAT MARC0NI IS DOING
Two Other >. Marvellous Inventions
Are Occupying His Mind :
Now. .t.

New York, Feb. 9.-Signor Marconi, be-
fore sailing for Europe, let several per-
sons into an important secret He is
now at work on two more marvellous in
ventions. He said one of them would en-
able wireless telegraph operators on shore
to give a distant and unseen vessel not
only its exact geographical location, but
Its. exact location as respects latitude
and longitude; in other words, this in
vention contemplates that PROPERLY
equipped steamer at sea may pick up its
own latitude and longitude by wireless
signals to the land, which signals will
indicate distances, and by little TRAN
gulation will give both the vessel and it's
owners ashore its exact latitude and
longitude.
While the commercial world is question
ing as to whether wireless MESSAGES can
be controlled between terminal points.
Marconi is going right ahead in the de-
velopment Of inventions along this line.
and hopes to make easy the sending of
duplex messages.
DUPLEX and auadrnplex telegraphy a re
at present incomprehensible to the un-
scientific mind, but they exist CONNER
clally. 1t is also Uncomfortable to the
mind uneducated in electrical science that
the telephone long distance wires over
which one may be talking are also daily
electrically vibrating with telegraph mes
sages going over the same wire at the
same time. This multiplex system Mr..
Marconi hopes to apply to wireless
telegraphy.
