The AIrship's Wireless.

The newer German naval and mill
tary airships Of the Zeppelin and Par
seval models are equipped with wire
less apparatus of much greater power
than ever before. The wireless i'm
pulses are diffused and received by an
aerial made Of a three-millimeter
phosphor bronze wire that as the air
ship rises is unwound from a spool to
its full length of $50 feet, and that
when the airship is aloft floats freely
in the air. The apparatus itself is very
compact; with it's small dynamo it
weighs 270 pounds. 1t has a minimum
range of 120 miles and can produce
wireless wave from one to four thou
sand feet long. According to the
Wireless World, every large aero
drome in Germany has its wireless sta.
ton; those at important centers like
J~ohannisthal, Cologne, Friedrichsha'
fen, Frankfort and Mannheim are very
powerful. Taken together, they form
a continuous ring round the borders
of Germany, and keep German air
ships in constant touch with a German
base. They also serve as a sort Of
