York World publishes an Interesting in
terview between its correspondent in
London and Signor Marconi. The wizard
Of wireless telegTaphy will sail for this
country on the 18th Of this month and
will be accompanied by his bride. his
private secretary and a number of his
expert wireless assistants. He comes
here 70 open TO the commerce of the
world the new high-power transatlantic
stations.
The World reporter asked Marconi,
Are you sure your wireless system viii
operate across the ocean. so that il can
be open 70 the use OF the public?"
1T is absolutely sure" replied Mr..
Msrconi. with a self-conhdent air. as If
he had nothing else TO add on the sub
5ect.
Are you prepared 10 say when you
viii be readyT'
Probably within a month. You know
there are IA submarine cables between
America and Europe. and if one breaks.
messages can be transmitted by one of
the others. So far we have out one com
plete wireless line and l want to make
sure before opening it for commercial
business that it is IN perfect working
der. even TO the smallest details. I can
to-day send messages across the Allan
tic. but so TO be sure Of success need
10 make a few minor notifications Mes
sages viii be sent for only 10 cents
word. while the cables charge rs cents
q word On account of the enormous vol
ume Of business of the press, we will
make them the special low rate of s
cents a word. instead of 10 cents. as now
charged by the cables"
How fast can you send wireless mes
sages?"
We Will probably have a much greater
speed than the cables. There are certain
natural laws that limit the speed of land
and cable telegraphy, but these laws do
not affect the wireless system I believe
We will reach a speed of several hundred
words q minute with wireless. We can
now send q telegram at the same speed
that words are spoken"
How far can you send kilograms
now2o
We can now send wireless messages
I400 miles over land 22o0 miles from
shore to ship and $500 miles across the
ocean"
What next will you dog"
Il wiz extend my system to the Pa
c3fc and across the Pacific"
And then2" asked the reporter.
Eventually" answered Msrconi. Il

VANCOUVER, B. c. March 1.-THE
Federal Government has included among
fits estimates $1,000 for the purpose of
establishing Marconi stations on the Pa
cifc Coast.
The foregoing kilograms. showing the
progress Of the Marconi system have re-
Gently appeared in the press of the coun-
try.
The Marconi Company has recently
contracted with the White Star Line to
equip all Of its steamships with their
system. As all other important trans
Atlantic lines have already been equip
ped, il now places almost all trans-At-
lantic steamships in touch with land and
gives the Marconi Company a monopoly
IN wireless telegraphy.
The magnitude Of the telegraph busi-
ness is best evidenced by the fact that
an average Of LOCO, 900 kilograms are
sent every day throughout the year. This
shows that the possibilities of the wire
less telegraph are practically unlimited.
The Marconi Company is already in
receipt OF considerable and constantly in
creasing revenues. There are already over
900 Marconi stations in commercial ope.
ration. earning money every day AS an
illustration. during recent trip of the
steamer 'Lucania-" over $500. 90 in tolls
was collected. 1t is, therefore. safe TO
estimate that each ship installation will
show net profit Of $4,000 to $4,000 a
year, which, multiplied by the number of
ships, VIII amount to several hundred
thousand dollars annually.
II is estimated that the forwarding of
press news for the Ocean Daily" pub
nshed on board the transatlantic liners
VIII give an annual profit TO the com pany
Of al least s75O,ooO.
The Marconi Company will derive it's
largest profits from its transatlantic
service. II Is not unreasonable TO expect
that with "a transatlantic Marconi sra
tions. duplicating the cables. the pro4tS
will be over $4,000 600. making possible
net profit for dividends of $50 per cent
