WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
six Known Methods by Which Mes
sages May be Sent without Wires.

six Known Methods by Which Mes
sages May be Sent without Wires.
There are now six distinct methods
known by which messages may be
sent between stations without metallic
connections. These are: l. By induc-
ton, in which the current raised to
high degree of intensity is enabled
to leap, as 1t were, from one wire to
another. In Edison's plan of telegraph
ing from moving trains the current
is transmitted by induction. 2. BY
conduction, in which the earth is en-
ployed as the conductor of the mes
sage. 8. Mr.. Tesla's invention, which
utilizes the earth, supplementing the
apparatus producing the current with
conductor running up a pole for a
short distance and terminating in a
fiat metal plate. a. Another method
which has been used in Europe and
is called the ultraviolet ray method.
BY it the ultraviolet rays sent out
from an electric arc light at the send
ing station constitute the medium
whereby at the receiving station
sparks are set free, restoring the cur
rent in an interrupted circuit. 3. Still
another method employs either the Wis
ible light rays emitted from search
| light or their accompanying Invisible
heat rays, 1t being still uncertain
which ray is actually the medium OF
communication. This method is the
basis of Professor Bells photophone
and the radiophone of Professor Hayes.
6. Finally there is the Hertz wave
method which is the one successfully
operated by Marconi.
In 1888, DR.. Hertz of Carlsbad, Ger
many, discovered that when an impul-
sive charge is passing through con-
ductor, ether waves are radiated In all
directions in the space surrounding the
conductor and that these waves are IN
all respects similar to those of light
except that they are much longer
These waves move with the same We
locity as those Of light, and have the
same power of reflection and refrac
ton, etc., as are possessed by waves
of light In the Marconi method Of
wireless telegraphy, by means Oh
Ruhmkorff induction coil, a stream
Of sparks is produced at a gap In an
electric circuit, where these Hertzian
waves are emitted in all directions
sidewise from the gap. By means Of
one of the sensitive devices known t
electricians, these waves can be picked
up, even at long distances from the
transmitter. Marconi made the essen
tial points of his method known II
1897, but It was not until March 29
1899, that his success in sending mes
sages across the English channel,
distance of thirty-two miles, called the
attention of the world to the POSSIBLE
ties Of wireless telegraphy.

To Hope Mrs. Saville made no sign,
and she remained in complete ignor-
ance that her acute patroness had
been a nearer of Lumley's avowal.
There was something increasingly
kind and confidential, however. in her
tone and manner. Hope was greatly
relieved by having thus disposed of
her admirer. That worry was at an
end; another, however, still remained.
