The Wireless Hoax.

Any ono who has given the matter
any Thought must havc realized the
facility with which wireless telegraphy
can be utilized by the m;schiefmaker
or the practical joker. Marconi mes
sages may be flashed into the air from
a secret source, To be picked up by
chance receivers within IA wide radius.
There is no easy way of discovering
whence the messages come, and they
are bound TO be accepted in good faith.
The first practical illustration Of the
possibilities for mischief in wireless
telcgraphy was offered last week. Some
unknown operator flashed forth story
of the burning of the passenger steamer
Rio Grandc, and of the heroic rescue
of all on board by British ship. IL
was puro hoax, Tho perpetrator could
have had no possible motive but that
OF tho practical Joker, II was on elabo'
rate and reprehensible Joke. Yet 1t
was accepted and published rs The
truth.
There is already federal law pro
viding fine OF imprisonment for the
perpetrator of such q Jest, The diff
Guilty is to catch him and TO prove him
guilty. There is no telltsle record OF
his activity. Those who received bis
message have no possible means VI
Knowing from what direction 1T came.
The difficulty of detection seems be.
yond the mental scope Of the cleverest
detective Of recent fiction.
Yet as wireless becomes more and
more a part Of tho life Of the world,
thcre must be some means devised to
prevent the flashing OF canards. 1t is
easy to fancy what great distress and
positive harm might arise from the
activities of the irresponsible amateur
or the malicious professional. The time
may come when the wireless detective
will be an important functionary of the
secret service of all civilized nations
