WIRELESS HAS LIMITATIONS.
Sir Hiram Maxim Tells Why 1t Cane
not Supersede the Cables.

Sir Hiram Maxim Tells Why 1t Cane
not supersede the Cables.
Sir Hiram Maxim, the great inventor
and experlmenter, says the unsclentihc
public is expecting ton mach from the
experiments Marconl is making al Cape
Breton to establish trustworthy wire
less telegraph service across the Allan
tic, according to a London cable to
the New York World.
"Marconi has done splendid work
in establishing wireless communication
between vessels at sea-" Sir Hiram
said to correspondent to-day. IF
ship is lost 1t can be traced quickly
now.
"But there is limit to everything,
even to the strength of steel. The
strongest substance on earth breaks
sometimes, as we learned the other day
when the Quebec bridge collapsed Be
for that we did not know such thing
could happen because no bridge had
ever been built like it and steel had
never been put to such tension. So 1t
Is with Marconrs system its limit must
be reached.
"I see the cable companies stockA
are falling and owners of stock are
growing excited, but there Is absolutely
no occasion for excitement. Wireless
telegraphy is something more than a
playthlng, Of course, but 1t never will
be serious competitor with ocean ca
bles-at least not in our lifetime.
"The reason is this: The man WHIT
pays to send n cablegram wants 1t kept
private to himself and the man at the
other end of the cable; and 1t Is kept
private. If the same message coult
be sent by wireless there would be
nothing to prevent you or me from put
ting up a little apparatus and tapping
1t. That would be the simplest thing
in the world.
again. the first thing our enemy
does In time of war is to try to cut
our cables and so stop communication
That is long and difficult job, because
cables are protected by battle ships
and even If the enemy does breal
through and cut one line 1t can be re
paired soon. Besides there are a doZeI
other cable lines, each Independent o
the other, and the enemy must go t.
work and cut or break through then
all.
"Now, see how different Is the cas-
with wireless messages. All you hav
to do is to put up a 10-horse-power ga
or oil engine between two wireless
stations and work 1t out of sympath,
with the apparatus that Is trying t
send wireless messages. What is easie
than to counterfeit the wireless wav
in that way. There is nothing to pre-
vent 1t, as far as / can see.
$50 you perceive there are yer
great drawbacks to the wireless syster
in times Of war and peace, too"
