The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-09-30

stance, it would have been much easier, twas declared by MT Carty from San Francisco last night, to have talked to London, Paris or Der lin than to talk to San Francisco. Were it not for the war that very thing would have been done yester- day.
 It will eventually be very simple matter, MT. Carty said, to call up friend who is on a ship in midocean and have a conversation with him. and, eventually again, there will be no pIace-desert, mountain top, jungle -which-will not have it's telephone station. Because the stringing of wires, MT. Carty explained, will not be necessary. The remote hamlet will simply have it's wireless telephone.
 Talks Hour Over Country.
 It might be asked: How do the pa pers know MT. Carty's views so thor oughly if MT. Carty was in San Fran cisco yesterday?
 Very simple. A reporter was per mitted to have nearly an hour of talk with MT. Carty last evening, between No 15 Dey street and the Bell main offices in San Francisco. It was just as easy as though the reporter had been in one of the booths of his office and the engineer had been in his club
 
 the same two Have talked several times
 When the San Francisco connection was made last night, the reporter said:
 MT Carty, this is MT. ---, who the transcontinenta1 telephone wire. That was supposed at the time to be wonderful thing."f
 The readily recognizable tones of the engineer responded:
 *Oh, yes-glad to hear from you again. Now we have a much more wonderful thing. It seems to be a complete success .'Dr. Bell, the inventor of the te1e- phone,. said a few months ago. the reporter recalled to MT Carty, that eventually human thought would be sent by wire wireless
 ''Who knows?'' laughed the engineer, 5000 miles away.
 Expects Thousands. of Calls.
 MT. Carty was asked at this point if he would describe the instruments and the electrical processes which were used in wireless telephony across the continent. He replied that because of the patents, and because this was not a final test by any means, he was obliged at present to decline to do so. will the wireless telephone ever re- place the wire telephone ?" asked the reporter.
 T do not think so,'' MT. Carty re- piled. Tn my belief, the number of wireless telephone calls will remain in the thousands, while the wire calls run up into the billions. Wireless tele- 1 phony is a much more difficult process. As I see it now. the greatest value of of the wireless telephone will be in reaching places where wires cannot be 1 strung--for instance, deserts, jungles, remote mountain tops and so on.'' How about talking to a ship at sea? i How about talking across the ocean ?''
 Well, as things stand now" the l far away engineer answered. tthe editor of your paper could as readily 1 call up his correspo onde1t in Lond or 1 and give him instructions about send i ing war news as he could call uI l your reporter in uptown New York | Yes, I think there is mo doubt we could easily reach ships at sea, i they were properly, equipped, an6 have wireless telephonic communities ton with those on board"
 'tWill this be of value to the navy l Mr. Carty was asked.
 'I want to say,'' he replied, "that 1 the navy has been most kind anG courteous in allowing us the use O l it's towers and iim co-oDerating witt 1 us in every possible waE. While the invention is the property of thu American Telephone and IeleSfap1 Co., alone, would like to say tha, the United States navy, and no other l navy, will have it.''
 1 Secret Messages Impossible. i
 would it be possible to send l secret message by wireless telephony k Would it not be possible for any on having a receiving apparatus t listen in? ''
 MT. Carty laughed. | ''Yes,'' he said, "I guess it would | As things are now, any one who coul' 1 tune a receiving instrument into tn same pitch as ours could hear every thing that was said. In fact, I sup 1 pose MT VaiPs remarks to- me wer heard by hundreds of person throughout the country. As a mat ter of fact, more persons will be abl to listen in on a, wireless telephon conversation than now are able t listen in on a party-1ine wire tele phone.''
 The possibilities seemed. to anus
 him.
 But perhaps that may be remedies
 some tiIne,'' he added.
 Asked again about the fascinatini prospect of talking to ships at sea MT. Carty Gaid:
 we have to contend there with tn ), same thing with which wireless teleg
