sia was too much inclined to ''prOlong the nego-
tiations" and too little inclined TO bring them 10
a satisfactory and equitable conclusion. What
Iapan wanted was not prOlongation, out Ter

and not at all upon the Manchurian side.

case at this time, partly for the sake of keeping
historical facts clearly in mind and partly be-

the course of which those earlier negotiations
may be pertinent for purposes of comparison.

not travel all the way to the South Pole? In
deed is it taxing the scientific imagination too
much to suppose that a wireless telegraph re-
Ceiver might be actuated at that point. the cen
tire Of conveyance, even though the waves could
not be detected half way between it and the
starting point?
One of the reasons for raising these questions
can be readily appreciated Great Britain has
a colony (New-ZcalandD that is almost exactly
at the antipOdes Of England. The mother cOun-
try now has instantaneous communication with
her dependency by cable If official and bust
ness messages could be sent more cheaply by
wireless telegraph, there would he good ex-
cuse for adopting the latter That possibility
would justify an inquiry into the power re-
quirements of such a service. 1t Is incumbent
on the MarcOn company rather than the gov
eminent to institute the investigation; but it
requires no extended argument to show the de-
STABILITY of making it. Mr.. MarcOni in his re-
cent lecture expressed confidence that a cOncen-
tration of energy such as has been here outlined
would occur at 1.-THE other end Of the earth's di-
ameter.' no matter where the first end was stu
