Electrical Wonders

Madrid-An electrician, senior Ig-
lesias, Sunday gave a successful de-
monstration of an apparatus, of which
he is the inventor, for condensing
and utilizing atmospheric electricity.
With the device he lighted and extin-
guished at will Is electric bulbs at a
distance of 600 yards. Experts ex-
pressed the opinion that the discovery
has great possibilities with regard to
cheap production of current for in
dustrial purposes. William Marconi
early last February lighted an electric
bulb at distance of six miles by a
wireless current supplied from a 100
engine.
