WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

The great interest being taken il
this section in Wireless telegraphy
makes it incumbent upon the World
to look into the merits of the Mar
conf and the United Wireless Tele-
graph companies. Representing the
people in this section as it does, it
behooves the mouthpiece of the peo-
pie to speak of the situation as it
now exists. We cannot, however,
at this time enter fully into the
subject for want of space and time.
In all there have been in the
neighborhood of one hundred COM
panies formed for the purpose OF
promoting wireless teIegraphy or
selling stock. This is a fact not gem
orally known. Among the compa-
MES which have been organized
during the past eight years are the
following: The English Marconi, the
Canadian Marconi, the American
Marconi, the Freeman-Smythe-De-
Forest Wireless Telegraph Company,
the Wireless Telegraph Company Of
America, the LeForest Wireless Tel
egraph Company of New Jersey, the
LeForest Wireless Company of
Maine, the American LeForest Wire
less Telegraph Company, the Allan
tic LeForest Wireless Telegraph
Company, the United Wireless Tele-
graph Company and host of others.
Owing to the Importance of the
subject, the World can not at this
time enter into a full exposition of
the results of the several companies.
Great promises have been made by
the promoters of these several COM
panies in the past, but, although
eight years have elapsed, no for
tunes have as yet been realized by
