.MARCON|' SUCCESS.
How the Inventor Has Perfected
His Wireless System.
MESSAGES SENT ACROSS SEA

Wireless Messages. 5t&
Marconi's recent success in perfect.
ing his wireless system SO that COM
mercial messages could be sent across
the Atlantic has caused widespread in
terest in his work. 1T was on Jan. %.
1901, that Marconi established wire
less communication on his system bel
tween St. GATHERINGS, in the Isle of
Wight. and the Lizard, in Cornwall, q
distance of 1873 miles, thus proving the
principle of the noninterference Of the
curvature of the earth, which inter-
ference was anticipated by many men
of learning and confidently predicted
by the cable companies experts.
/ These results justified Mr.. Marconi
in recommending the erection of q
high power station, with the object Of
telegraphing wirelessly across the AT
lantic, says the New York Times. Such
a station was erected at Poldhu. in
Cornwall, England, and on Dec. u.
1901, the first clear and ineligible
signals sent across the Atlantic were
received from SP oldhu at a temporary
station located near the city of st.
Johns, In Newfoundland.
In July, August and September OF.
1902 Mr.. Marconi, at the invitation Of
the Italian government, made a cruise
] In the warship Carlo Alberto and dur
! ing the voyage carried out important
4 tests in wireless telegraphy. During
/ these experiments messages transmit
1 ted from Poldhu were received across
land and water-first nearly as far as
Cronstadt, in the gulf of Finland, Rus

/ at Gibraltar, across the whole of Spain,
over a distance Of 1000 miles, and,
1 third. in the Mediterranean, off the
coast Of Corsica. over a distance Of
/ 1000 miles. although the whole of
4 France and part of the Alps intervened
!. between the two stations
/ Messages in nearly all positions and
B places visited by the cruiser were re-
ceived either on Mr.. Marconi's re

The reports on these tests were signed

tests the Italian minister of marine

should be placed at Mr.. Marconi's dis
posal for the purpose Of assisting him
in the establishment Of communication

Oct. 20, 1902, the Carlo Alberto lief
Plymouth and sailed for Sydney, n
