WIRELESS TELEPHONE.
In the NOISY Noiseless Court
Worlds Fair Marvel
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
For some inexplicable reason an
epoch-making novelty at the St. Louis
exposition that promises to rival the
much-heralded air7ship competition
has been almost entirely overlooked.
Prof. Goldsborough, chief. Of the de,
partment of electricity, has quietly
prepared a wireless telephone exhlbl-
ton that will give the blase wonder
ignoring American sight-seer a very
agreeable shock OF surprise. The
telephone, in its first stage OF devel-
opment, made memorable the Cen
tennial exhibition in 1876. If the air
ship competition materializes it will
have to share with the "Noisy Noise
less Court" the historic honors at St.
Louis. In the quadrangle of the court.
formed by the four walls OF the Palace
OF Electricity. the visitor may exper-
ience the sensation of hearing sounds
at a disance. without any visible med
ium OF communication. Going into
tie court one hears, no other sounds
than the nearby buzz OF the throng
and hum OF moving machinery To
all intents and purposes the court is
| literally noiseless. yet the air is fairly
ringing with the music OF the bands
! in the faraway bandstandS, the music
OF monographs in distant booths.
The visitor is simply mystited on put
ting to his ear pair OF ear-pieces re-
! sembling the watch-case receivers
that are worn by the telephone girl
during her switchboard duties. The
weird sounds that become audible are
as disconcerting to the twentieth CEN
tury man accustomed to talking ma
chimes and long disance telephones al
were Stanley's electric shocks to the
aborigines of Africa.
Mr.. H. R. Hutchison, who has been
experimenting for several years along
the line of wireless telephony. has
now perfected his apparatus to such
an extent as to make it servicable over
considerable distances. though yet at
considerably less than mile. When
it is remembered that the first tele-
phone circuit was only a few yards
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1904-06-28

long. and the radius of the first wire
less telegraphy transmission was cir
cumscribed by the walls of laboratory,
the present limitations OF wireless
telephony are really not significant.
The Worlds Fair transmission or
sending station is located at Block
e, Palace OF Electricity. 1t consists
OF large graphophone and one OF
Mr.. Hutchison's heavy current trans
nlitters. This transmitter is in itself
a marvel. as it operates with currer:
OF fifteen ampheres, which would OF
course destroy an ordinary carbon
transmitter. Such heavy current
necessarily generates considerable
heat. so that provisions for water
cooling the apparatus are necessary.
Connected to the transmitted is a
large coil buried in the ground of the
court. The receivers consist of two
ordinary watch case telephone receiv-
ers, attached to conducting spring
supports, which pass through handles,
terminating in an attuned receiving
coil, about foot in diameter, but
about two inches in width and very
light, so that it can be held with ease
by means of the handle provided. The
coil responds to the invisible electric
radiations emanating from the trans
hitting apparatus, inducing similar
electric pulses in the ear receivers,
thus reproducing the exact sounds.

TO HEAR THE CONTESTANTS.

q GOD judgment prevailed IN the
~ county committee yesterday
When it was decided to take up the
contests growing out Of the primaries.
IN an orderly manner. There seemed
to be a disposition on the part Of GER
tain members to choke off all evidence
Of fraud, but the sense OF fairness Of
other members would not tolerate such
procedure.
Very properly the committee does not
propose to waste its time and to en-
courage wrangles by considering con-
tests unless they shall be properly
filed and accompanied by afidavits.
Contestants win also be obliged to
state the grounds on which their con-
tests are to be made. and they win not
be allowed to drag in extraneous mat
ter
We commend this action. and we urge
in the interests OF the party and the
voters that the committee shall deter
mine to hear the evidekce ana reach
its decisions as impartially as the
judges IN our courts. We repeat that we
feel no particular concern over the pos
sible outcome as long as the merits OF
these contests are gone into and true
decision reached The party ana the
candidates expect nothing less.
