New System of Wireless Teleg-
raphy That Works Without
Instruments Installed
INSTANTANEOUS TRANSMISSION
Mrs. Piper and Celebrated Medium
In England Claim to Have Been
AbIe to Communicate Across the
Ocean by the Means Of Spirit Mes
sases-other News.

New York, oct. 81. - a system VI
wireless telegraphy which works with
out apparatus has been installed be-
tween the United States and England,
according to the Society for Psychical
Research. The message was trans
mitted practically instantaneously be-
tween Mrs. Piper, the medium whose
doings were the subject of long and
sensational report two or three years
ago, and an English medium with
whom the Society Of Psychical He
search has made many experiments. IL
was part of prearranged plan for the
EXPERIMENT. according to Prof. James
Hyslop OF Columbia university. who
stands sponsor for Mrs. Piper, ana
conducts the society's experiments with
her.
Sent in English, Taken in Latin.
The message was sent in English. 1t
consisted Of four English words, but
was written Off by the British medium
in Latin. This, says Prof. Hyslop, Is
owing to the peculiar manner in which
communications are carried on between
Controls" on the other side Of death
and living mediums. 1t Is process,
he says, not readily comprehended by
the unscientific mind.
1t was not telepathy; that Is a
straight communication of one mind
with another. Prof. Hyslop is certain
on that point. 1t was done thru the
agency of spirit.
IL o,,<,v {1 ta11 10 d.
ing Of the message or the exact condit-
ions Of the experiment" said Prof. Hy-
slop last night. THAT will all come
out in the next report Of the society,
together with great many advanced
experiments which we have been MAX
ing since our last report. The full
publication Of the facts will explain
why the message was transmitted in
Latin.
Receiver Did Not Know Latin.
"The conditions were such that 1t
came thru the mediums subliminal
consciousness in that language. Un-
derstand, she doesn't know Latin her
self.
"The public does not understand the
probable relations between a medium
spirit, or whatever it Is which Is send
ing the message. The medium, as ev-
cry one knows, is in an abnormal mem
tai condition when the message Is re-
ceived-a clairvoyant condition we call
it.
What every one does not know is
that the control himself probably ent-
ers an abnormal mental condition be-
fore he, too can send message.
Tells Of Another Strange Case
"This is not the first instance in our
experiments, altho it is the first In
stance in which the attempt has been
deliberate. Some time ago one Of our
members who lives near Chicago was
holding communication with a deceas-
ed relative thru a medium. Suddenly
the question was asked:
"'why is Helen playing the piano?
"Helen is his daughter and was then
at home near Chicago. He took the
time at once; it was 1885 a. m. Com
putting the difference in time he tele-
graphed to his wife asking what Helen
was doing between IL and lisa o'clock
that morning, Boston time. The ans
wer came:.
'Practicing on piano.
1.-THE medium herself knew nothing
about his daughter Helen and her hab-
it's To the best Of my belief, she did
not know he had daughter Helen.
Greatest Precautions Used.
"In the latest experiment with trans
between the United States and
England we used every precaution to
insure against accident, collision, or
fraud.
