New Wireless for Aeroplanes.

John Hays Hammond. Jr., has per
fected at Gloucester. Mass. a wireless
telegraph apparatus for aeroplanes
which he intends to sell to the gov
eminent. His instrument embodies
several new features which have not
yet been made public, among them a
new coherer 20 times as sensitive as
those now In use. This will enable
aviators to receive messages as well
as send them. To the present time
the wireless instrument used on aero
planes have been only to transmit.
and the inability to receive messages
has kept the operators tied to their
base of instructions.
