TO circle the globe within the next IL
months is the promise emanating from
London, where a thorough inyestiga-
ton is being made OF the systems OF
communication Of the world.
Strides in wireless communication
we're wildly set forth by Godfrey Is
aacs, managing director Of the Mar
conf Company, in his testimony before
the Dominion's Wireless Commission
on Imperial Communications, in Lon
don. He said In effect that with APP
paratus as now improved distance will
soon interpose no barrier to telegraph
ic extensions aud that telephone tests
have been almost an promising.
"Mr. Mareoni expects to be able to
telephone from CarnarVon, Wales, to
New York before the end Of the pre-
sent year." was the first statement
with which Manager lsaacs startlei
the commission. Apparatus now in
hand shows that most important de-
veIopments are imminent. II has de.
.monstrated that telephone eommuni.
cation depends only on the power Of
the machine. -" ...a ." -...
Power will overcome distance.
With a few mechanical changes, which
Llr! Marconi knows how to make, he
will certainly be able to talk with
New York from Carnaryon. We be
lieye we will be harnessed up with
the Bell Telephone Company in New
York within few months: Wireless
furnishes the only means of communi
eating with New York by telephone.
We have tried to make the connection
by cable wires and have proved that
undertaking impossible. @.e.
To South America Also. ...*:z.a
when We can talk with New York
we will be able to talk with any other
point by the use OF sufficient power.
L do not hesitate to predict that we
will have telephone connection be-
tween London and Buenos Ayres az
soon az we have wireless telegraph
service between the two places. We
ought to telephone to Argentina as
easily as to telegraph there"
Sir Rider Haggard, who was exam:
lining Mr.. Isaacs, asked him If he
thought the time would come when
anyone could telephone from his home
to any place he desired. .
~ won't go so far as to promise
that, was the answer, but / say with
entire confidence that It will be pos.
sible to go. toaa certain station in
London and talk by telephone with
New York. Wireless communication
stands at. the threshold of unrevealed
immensities." -

lsaacs replied:

are effecting there viii be no reason
why the speed of transmission may

"Not only is wireless teIearaphy
about to be established between Eng.
land and Argentina but also between
England and Brazil, between France
and the United States and between
Norway and New York.
Atmospheric disturbances which
heretofore have interfered with WIRE

long distance telegraphy will be &C
