Wireless Telegraphy on Trains.

Am English railroad company is con-
Quoting series of experiments to de-
termlne whether wireless telegraphy can
be used In connection with thelr fast
train service between London and the
north The difficulty with The aerial
wire constituted the greatest problem In
order to test the idea under the most
dIsadvantageous conditions, an old car
was used as n receiving station. The
aerial wires were carried on porcelain In
sulators. the height OF the wires varying
from nine to fifteen inches above the
curvature of the roof 1t Is claimed that
never before has short an aerial wire
been used in wireless telcgraphy From
the roof the wires are carried In small
cable through a special insulated hitting

instrument. Here the succeeding waves
of dots and dashes are separated and re-
solved into words upon a drum of paper
