NEW WIRELESS WRINKLES.
Ice Movements and the Arctic Day Interfere
with Currents.

Washington, July 21-It has long been known
that wireless telegraphy is easier at night than
in the day, but that fact was lost sight of in
the establishment of that method of communica-
ton in Alaska. between Fort Michaels and
Nome where it had been found impossible to
maintain a cable owing to the ice movements
and currents.
Reports to the War Department now show
that for the first time trouble has been expert
enced in working the system in Alaska, and as
the trouble was coincident with the beginning Of
continuous day north Of the Arctic Circle, that
fact is supposed 70 account for the difficulty.
However, It is said that the interruption has
never extended over the whole day at any time.
