Engineers Of the Marconn Company
have made a careful survey OF the Pa
cifc Coast and have found its possibilities
so promising. not only for communication
from ship to shore but to and from tha
Hawaiian and Philippine Islands. that
installations at various points will follow

Bernard is convinced that Nansen took
the only feasible route to the North Pole
He favors expedition with two ships
connected by wireless telegraphy. II is
expected that the Prince of Monaco. who
is greatly interested in the project, will
contribute the necessary 100000.
The foregoing kilograms have recently

Mr.. Marconi the inventor OF wireless
telegraphy. has announced that he will
return to the United States in few days
and hopes to be ready ON January 1 to
open to the public for commercial busi-
ness the new transatlantic station or
| Cape Breton. which will communicate
with the POldhu transatlantic station,
distance of $500 miles. This great event
in the worlds history will be followed by
| the opening of another transatlantic sta
! tion now nearing completion near Boston.
But few. even among the best posted,
/ have even a faint idea Of what already
has been accomplished by the Marconi
sxstem. 1t has already been the means
! of saving hundreds Of lives and millions

nearly 290 steamers of the Merchant Ma
rine and men-Of-war Of several nations.
The MarcOni system is now operating
in the service daily newspapers. published

steamships. This service viii eventually

/ is estimated that this branch Of the Mar
conf business will bring the company a
net annual profit Of over 100000.
The receipts OF the Marconi Company
during 1903 show the gratifying increase
of more than 700 per cent over those OF
1902 and the year 1904 will show a much
greater increase.
The earnings Of one department Of this
company (the Trans-Atlantic) when in

on the present capitalization.
The Trans-Pacihc Marconi service.
when fully equipped and in operation is
capable of earning S976.OOO net, per an

The Marconi system is now entering
the stage where it is becoming a serious
competitor of the cables. The cost of its
installation of maintenance and of opera
ton is so small compared with that OF
! the cable and wire systems that Il can
afford to transmit messages for LESS
/ THAN HALF the price of the old sys-
TENS therefore il stands to reason that
the public always gives the preferences
to the cheaper rate.
