Early Discovery of Electric Sig

Wireless telephony that will connect

and make conversation with Paris.
Berlin and London from Washington a
possibility Is reliability according
to Prof Elihu Thomson. who has out
lined in a Smithsonian report the gen.
eral nature of wireless transmission,
Indicating it's relationship to wire
transmission.
He also shows why the wireless en-
ergy sent out follows the curvature of
the earth, and explains other features,
presenting mental picture of the
work such as any one reasonably well
informed in electricity can compre-
bend.
He describes an early experiment
bearing upon the transmission of en-
ergy without wires. performed by Prof.
E. ]. Houston and himself in 1875.
While these early Investigators re-
allied at the time that they had per-
haps discovered the germ Of a system
of signaling through space. their early
experiment was forgotten until re-
called later by the work of Hertz, in
about 1887, when he demonstrated by
suitable electrical apparatus that waves
of the general nature of heat and light
could be generated and transmitted
with the velocity of light, $4,000 miles
per second, and that by suitable reso-
majors and detectors these waves could
be made to declare themselves by tiny
sparks.
Hertz's Discoveries.
The general result of the Hertzian
experiments was to connect electrical
waves with heat and light waves. prov
ing the difference of the two kinds of
radiations to be simply that of length
or pitch.
The author gives a description OF an
ordinary wire transmission with direct
current. showing how the wire itself
is a sort Of guiding center or core
about which the ether disturbance car
rying the energy exists. making the
wire system really a case of wireless
transmission. with the wire as a guild
ing core.
