SCIENCE ACHIEVES
NEW TRIUMPH
Possibilities Of Discoveries Of Bell
Engineers Conyincingly Illus
trated; Across Atlantic
Without Wires Next
Special to the Daily Express.

Washington, Oct. Wireless tele-
phone from the Atlantic seaboard TO
II wall is an accomplished fact The
di. sance is 1900 miles.
by the special wireless telephone
developments which we're made by the
engineers of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Co and OF the Western
Electric Co, speech was transmitted
last night from Washington a wireless
station at Honolulu
II anything further was needed TO
show the wonderful capacity Of these
new discoveries by the engineers OF
the Bell system. this last triumph,
coming few hours after Mr.. Vail,
president Of the company, had talked
by wireless from Washington to Mr..
Cartv. chief engineer located at Mare
Island, near San Francisco, Is conclu
slve.
The distance over which this wire
less conversation was held is greater
than the distance frcm New York TO
London New York to Paris. or from,
New York TO many other important
+, ioints, such as Vienna and Berlin. This
wonderful wireless message from
Washington to Hawaii had to pass
over the whole of the United States
distance OF $500 miles before it en-
countered the more simple wireless
conditions which exist when sending
conversation over large bodies of wa
Ter.
In the test Tuesday when the first
wireless talk was carried across the
continent. New York was connected |
by wires OF the Bell system with the
wireless tower at Arlington. Va, and |
in spite Of the fact that the words went !
by wire to Arlington and then leaped |
thros-h the air TO the Pacific coast,
Engh .er Carty's reply came back al
most instantaneously, This fine fine
this is wonderful" he said and the |
groups Of men gathered together at OPP
posite sides Of the continent knew that
wireless continental telephony |
would heneeforth be numbered among |
the miracles of modern science
Trans-contlnentai wire transmission |
was publicly demonstrated for the first
time last January and the trans-conti-
mental wireless transmission follows |
the celebration Of the former great
technical achievement after period
of less than year.
Mr.. Carty stated that the results !
achieved here outdistance anything
heretofore accomplished He believes
talking across the continent has great
er difficulties than talking across the
Atlantic, for transmission over water
is much easier than over land, peratic-
ularly in view OF the formidable noun
tain ranges to be crossed on the conti- |
nent.
Telephone messages" Mr.. Carly |
says, were transmitted with success
from Arlington, Va, to the Isthmus OF
Panama, where they were received at
the government radio station bv one OF
the engineers and by the naval Off
GERS in charge, who telegraphed back
their contents. At San Diego, also
where one Of the telephone engineers
was located at the naval radio station,
wireless telephone speech from the
telephone and naval and army offic-
ials at Washington was received. Talk
ing achoss the Atlantic by means of
this new system is now but matter
of installing the necessary apparatus.
u. n. Bethel. senior vice president
OF the company. who also talked over
the wireless telephone, made the iol-
lowing statement:
"This romantic incident-this talk
ing by wireless across the continent
means another epoch in the develop.
ment of the art Of transmitting intelli-l
eence by electricity. The talking was
very satisfactory. words ami sentences
uttered from New York were repeated
back from San Francisco with abso-
lnic accuracy and even my voice was
