more than double that of the past
year. For instance, special appropria-

municipalities for next years anti
tuberculosis work, aggregating 1885,

THE NEW NEW AERIAL ,WIRGELESS SET FOR

lofty height This handicap has been met in
portable wireless set which has recently been de-
signed by signal corps experts and the first ex-
ample of which has lately been completed at the
signal corps shops in Washington under the direc-
ton of Electrical Assistant H. B. De Groot.
Not only does this compact little wireless
equipment conform to the requisite of minimum
weight but 1t affords solution of the chief prob
lem presented in this new field-namely. the pro-
vision of safeguards against spark from the tel
egraphic apparatus igniting the explosive gas
which through accident design might escape
from the bag of the balloon. There is consider
able difference of opinion among electricians as
to what danger of explosion would exist under
normal conditions. Some experts contend that,
considering the air currents created Dy balloon
IN motion there would be practically no danger,
but the United States army aeronauts, cognizant
of the tragic consequences that would assuredly
follow any such explosion at high altitude, have
naturally been loath to take any chance and have
had precautionary measures taken in the con-
struction of the apparatus designed for their ex-
perimental work.
This wonderful new aerial wireless set, which
weighs, all told, only about 20 pounds, occupies

which measures 80 inches In length, II inches in
width and 15 inches in height. The electrical

While the electrical division of the United
States signal corps has been busy with plans for
wireless work via free balloons that would prove
of immense value in time of war, other branches
of the federal government have been looking into
the possibilities Of midair telegraph stations de-
signed to serve the pursuits of peace. Chief
Willis Moore and his associates of the United
States weather bureau have long taken espe-
ciay keen interest in this subject and interest
ing experiments covering high-air work with both
balloons and kites have been in progress for some
time past at Mount WeatheT-that Virginia
mountain peak where the weather bureau has
assembled such marvellous equipment for the
ploration of the upper air. Prof. Moore's primary
interest in wireless telegraphy is as a means of
transmitting storm warnings and weather fore
casts, particularly the interchange between ships
and shore stations.
