italian Priest Inventor-The cele-
brated Italian savant Monsignor Cere-
botani, has presented to the French
scientific world three new inventions
of the greatest interest He has in
vented an apparatus like little writ
ing machine, which prints wireless
messages on condition that those mes
sages are transmitted by a similar lit
tie writing machine. This transmitting
and receiving apparatus for wireless
kilograms can also be used on te1e-
phonic wires, so that subscribers to the
telephone will be able to use the pre-
late's writing machines to transmit and
receive printed messages.
The second invention is to enable
the operator of a wireless telegraph
station to transmit message to any
particular point he may choose, to the
exclusion of all others; and the third
instrument is a pocket wireless tele-
graph receiver, permitting person in
the country-for instance, troops on
the march-to receive wireless mes
sages from a considerable distance.
