SECRECY OVER
WIRELESS DEVICE
Means Of Stopping Outside In
reference With Messages
Carefully Guarded

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April s.
The utmost secrecy is being main
tanned as to the identity Of the in
ventor of the new wireless device
that is supposed to have settled fon
all time the difficulty over cross
talk" or interference from outside
stations, and which has been ex-
perimented with between the wire
less stations at League Island and
Cape Henlopen. The nature of the
instrument is also being carefully
concealed and although tests are now
being held at the navy yard, nothing
will be disclosed as to the success or
failure of the invention.
The purpose of the device is to
make a straight connection between
the sender of the message and the
person TO whom it is being sent At
present the trouble occasioned by
amateurs picking up messages has
been annoying. Attempts have been
made for some time past to perfect a
device that will eliminate this bad
feature of the wireless system, and
it is thought that the present inven-
ton of a Government operator at one
of the coast stations will settle the
difficulty.
The exact nature of the instrument
is unknown, but it is said that the
new apparatus operates by tuning"
it to a certain pitch. similar TO the
tuning of a musical instrument. The
receiving set is adjusted TO "A certain
number Of vibrations and can only be
reached when the proper number OF
vibrations are applied from the send
ing instrument. The device is said
TO be very simple. and in order to re-
cord the number of vibrations, a sys-
TEN of reduction coils through which
the electrical current increases or
decreases the vibrations. is used.
