A WIRELESS POCKET TELEGRAPH

Inventions in the field Of electrical
development have followed each other
with such bewi1dering rapidity during
the past decade that one hardly dares
TO assert that may not happen in that
lirectIon. According to an announce
nent from Berlin a wireless pocket
telegraph instrument has been invent
ed by a priest named Cerebotani in
charge of the Munich parish.
The instrument consists Of a wooden
base with the letters Of the alphabet
thereupon arranged in circle. A
small metal indicator swings on piv-
OF in the center. so adjusted as 10 re-
spond to tho wireless dot and dash
currents and spell out the message.
The apparatus is very simple. IT is
somewhat larger than the ordinary
card case.
Professor Cerebotani. who Is noted
as an amateur scientist stated that
a French journalist had attributed TO
him enormously the invention Of a
wireless pocket telegraph instrument
some timo ago lie wrote to the jour
nal denying the invention. However
his letter was not published md, ac-
sortingly, nothing remained or him
In the way of vindication except to in
vent the apparatus described. which
he proceeded to do,
1t Is apparent from this that a
newspaper error is not invariably
harmful, meanwhile, It Is not impos
sible that in the not distant future II
Will be a common thing TO see people
