a mile. was on the Connecticut. and
her wireless transmitters were thrown
in while her band was playing and an
other ship had a wireless message in
terrupted by hearing this music. The
reason of this freak OF electricity Is
not yet explained.
An explanation probably lies in the
fact that the ear pieces OF the wireless
telegraph are very sensitive, and the
wireless telephone transmitter on the
flagship is very powerful. hence the
sound waves of the music caused sui
ficent static electricity to be trans
mitted and received by the aerial OF
the wireless telegraph.
As all wireless experts know, di
rectors OF the microphone type are ir
regular in their action. and for thai
reason are more or less unsatisfactory

needle. which is generally a small

a more or less musical sound in the
receiver, but the sound Of all the in
