END OF WAR
in WIRELESS
AIR WAVES?
DUPONT Company May Test
Effect Of Electricity on
High Explosives
SCIENTIST BELIEVES
THE PLAN PRACTICAL

The fact that the high poles on the
iron towers on top Of the DUPONT
Building, which formerly held the
wires for the wireless station located
here, were replaced and painted last
week, gave rise to rumor that a wire
less station would again be located
i'm Wilmington. It was even said that
the Marconi Company had taken over
the privilege.
Officials of the DUPONT Powder Com
pany denied the rumor today and stat
ed that the activity displayed along
this line was preparatory TO a series
of experiments with electricity that
the high explosive department of the
company was about to conduct When
inquiry was made at the Office Of this
department as TO the nature of the
experiments, the reply came thaf they
were of private nature and of no
interest TO the general public.
There has been much experimenting
lately by experts to determine tho
effect of powerful wireless rays upon
high explosives, particularly the moro

can readily be seen that if wireless
electricity could be directed so as ia
discharge explosives stored I'm battle
ships or i'm magazines of land forti-
iications, warfare would be revolu-
tiOnized
II is thought that tho story that
the city would again have a wireless
station Was given impetus by the ap-
pearance at the Office OF the treas
urer of the DUPONT Company, of The

 The Npremier added that the gov ernment could not consent to the in- sertion of any figures in the minimum wage bill, but at the same time he was sorry that an agreement had not been reached between the employers and the men
 That Premier Asquiths handling of the crisis is far from meeting the unanimous approval Of his own party was evidenced by the division lists on the amendment moved by William Brace. the miner member, that tho minimum daily rates of five shilling. for men and two shillings for boyi be incorporated in the bill, whicl was defeated 326 to S3 The bill is yet to come up for a third reading
