Electric Energy Without Wires.

Among the many interesting, some-
times startling, portions of the adj
dress of George Westinghouse before
the Southern Commercial Congress at
Atlanta. Ga, recently, he said:
1T may interest you to know that
the frequency of the electrical waves
sent out by some forms OF wireless
transmitters approaches a million per
plitude of these vibrations or by a
more sensitive receiver, the distance
over which these waves Uhey un-
doubtedly extend to an infinite dis
tance) may be recorded, can be great
ly increased.
In an experiment made by DR..
Peter Cooper Hewitt with powerful
wireless transmission apparatus. in
Guiding a mercury vapor interrupter,
1t was found that the effect of the
gh-frequency discharge upon the
iron in the building occupied, such as
water and heater pipes. quickly pro-
duced incipient fires within the room
where the apparatus was erected, thus
demonstrating the wonderful power of
this incomprehensible force and sug-
costing great possibilities in the
transmission of electrical energy with
out wires.
The transmission of electric energy
without wires, which will be especial
iy valuable for signalling purposes and
LOT the control of machinery at a dis
lance, will undoubtedly play most
important part in army and navy
| operations"

A striking indication of the age in
which we live may be found in the
fact that the first Mediterranean
cruise cost $3.50 per passenger with
many extras. Today. one may travel
on one OF the most luxurious steamers
and encircle the entire globe for less
than one half the fare paid by the In
noccnts" while on their long trip to
the Mediterranean. Another add
vantage Of present day travel over
that Of many years ago is found
in wireless communication with
the shore. Steamers now are. in
momentary touch with one coast or the
other at all times. II is not so diff
cult To remember that Mark Twain
grew eloquent in his description of the
dining room service on that famous
trip abroad. He described this room
as 30 feet in length and seating more
than 100 passengers Today half a
thousand tourists can dine together in
palatial cabin To the accompaniment
OF stringed orchestra and enjoy a
cuisine and service equal TO that Of the
kerry best hotels ashore.
