Son Of Late Abram Hewitt Turns Out
Invention Eclipsing Young italian.


New York, Feb. 2o.--In the current
isene Of the Electrical Review is de-
scribed an important Invention in wire
len telegraphy by Peter Cooper Hewitt
OF New York City. son Of the late
Abram 5. Hewitt. This device, which
Is development OF the Cooper Hewitt
mercury vapor lamp. takes the place
Of the usual spark-gap for discharging
in the antenna, or sending mask. 1t
consits Of glass globe, eight to 10
Inches in diameter, with two mercury
electrodes contained in tubes sealed in
the lower part of the globe. The de-
vice is very effective. and it is stat
ed by this authority, will enable a much
more powerful electrical wave to be
set up than is possible with the meth
DDS at present in use and will,also make
secrecy in transmission easily possible.
Dr. NJ. I. Pupin, professor of electro
mechanics at Columbia university and
widely known from his invention in
long distance telephone transmission,
is quoted by the Electrical Review as
saying:
THE Cooper Hewitt mecury yapor
interrupter at once establishes wirelss
telegraphy on a commercial basis. The
problem OF selective signalling is solved
and transatlantic mission will be
easy"
