Rescuing imperilIed boats at sea by the
aid of the wireless has become almost a
daily occurrence. The relief of The steam

passengers; the steamer Slavonia, with
40 passengers and the steamship Antilles,
with 100. are among the vessels that have
since been saved from destruction at sea
by the use of the wireless.
The wireless telephone is an OutgroWth
of the wireless telegraph that has been sue
cessfully applied in many places between
shore stations and vessels. although its
development is not yet so far ahead as
that of the telegraph. The transmission
of electrical energy without wires and its
application thereafter TO various forms OF
machinery is being rapidly developed by in
vestigators In this country and in Europe
Boats and airships are propelled and steered
cannon are fired, torpedoes dispatched long
distances under water portraits are trans

inventions. All these things have been
actually accomplished, and their practical
application 10 commercial ana Warhhe
uses rests only with the ability OF the in
