POWER OF ELECTRIC WAVES.
Evdert Solution of Problem of Wire
less Control of Machinery.

The problem of controlling machin-
cry by electric waves has been salts
factorily solved so far as the construc-
ton and operation of the necessary ap-
paratuS is concerned The radius of
action is small at present. and the at
tention of inventors must now be TO-
cused on this part of the question.
The latest apparatus devised for this
purpose is apparently that constructed
by two engineers of Nuremburg, Ger
many, Messrs. Wirth and Beck. By
means of this, through the medium of
electric waves, levers may be thrown
forward or backward, upward or down
ward, steering wheels or cocks NAV be
turned to the right or left, and cleo
trlcal apparatus may be thrown in or
out OF circuit-in fact, the most varied
machines may be controlled from a
distance without any material connec-
ZION between them and the operator

wonder at their constitution They
have starved and thrived, tasted and

In another room was installed a
interchangeable sending apparatus
susceptible of being tuned up to the
receiver. and actuated by electromag-
neuc waves from the apparatus in

tween the sending and receiving appa-
ratus.
Whenever a lever connected with
the sending apparatus was adjusted to
various positions the apparatus CORE

Land and sea mines have frequent

The same operation can now be eff
