.OYEROCEAN PHONE
HALTED BY THE WAR
MarConi Aide Perfects Wireless
instrument to Carry Voice
Across Atlantic.

LONDON. Oct c3-But for the wal
the human voice would have beer
thrown across the Atlantic Ocean b.,
wireless this month, according to q
statement made by II. J. Round, one
of William Marconi's lieutenants, who
has perfected wireless telephone in
strument which has just been adopted
for use in the Italian navy. This ap-
paratus, Mr.. Round says, is guaranteed
to carry forty miles. and under favor
able conditions should make voice
audible at sixty miles.
The British admiralty has displayed
great interest in the invention. and 1t
is being tested aboard English ships.
1t makes possible the transmission OF
all orders from the admiral to the cap
tains in fleet by word of mouth, and,
should a misunderstanding arise, even
during q battle it could be cleared ava :
simply by ringing up the flagship and
taking the matter over.
Could Talk Across Atlantic.
BY multiplying the power and costli-
ness OF the materials" Mr. Round re-
marked the same device could easily
make words spoken in New York au-
dible here. and that is what we had
planned to demonstrate this month. 1t
would have been wholly a scientific
demonstration without present COM
cost. But the restrictions governing
wireless communication are so numerous
under wartime conditions that expert
ments of that kind are out of the ques-
ton"
Mr.. Rounds apparatus is simple and
no more expensive that amateur wire
less telegraphy outfits. In order to get
connection with, any particular point a
selective scheme has been devised by
which an aerial wave Of certain strength
sets a pendulum. attuned to like
strength. swinging sufficiently to ring
q bell at the receiving point. Thus the
caller can ring any one of about twenty
different receivers without the remaining
nineteen hearing the call. Once the con-
nection is established conversation
across forty miles Of air is easier even
than by wire except when there is
lightning in the atmosphere, which has
the effect of slightly blurrinG the sounds.
Il completed my experimenting sew
eral weeks ago in Italy, and the Duke
of the AbruZzi, who attended many
had little difficulty in
the Italian government to
purchase the device for the navy" said
MIR. Round. 1T is interesting to know
that the King of Italy was present the
first time the instrument was demon
strated by Marconi himself and talk ed
from the ministry of marine to a point
twenty kilometers distant. So far as l
know his majesty is the first ruler to
hear the human voice over the wireless"

BETTER MARKET METHODS.
Copper Country Farmers Will Install
Potato GRADING Machines.

Through the efforts of the county
farm bureau, copper country potato
growers are about To begin cam
paign for better marketing facilities
and before another year passes, a ma
jority of farmers will own gradins
machines, appliances that will enable
them To get much higher price for
their crop. The lack Of modern meth
DDS is costly 10 the farmers who are
marketing potatoes for s. cents a
bushel this spring. Chicago commits
sion houses. in turn. are getting $l.3O
bushcl for the product,
The low price which the farmers
are asking for the storage supply is
due To the fact that the marketing ia
cilties are limited. The commission
houses then must grade the tubers and
eventually they reach the consumer at
the fancy price of S1.30 or higher.
While the difference i'm price indicates
what copper country farmers must
contend with, there is some consola'
ton i'm the fact that within another
year, conditions will change and the
difference i'm price will favor the farm
er instead of the commission dealer
