LABORATORY IS UP
 IN MADISON TOWER
Recent Demonstrations By Vail and Carty Are Not Complete But Are Thought to Foretell
 Wonderful Future Vacuum Tube and Phantom Circuit
Ny HOLLAND

New York, october 5.-(Speeial) )-Whei Lord Kelvin visited the United states To the last time he felt that one experience alone of the many he had in this countr, would have fully repaid him for his visit He spent some time in the laboratory ol pr. Peter Cooper Hewitt, which Is in the upper story of the lofty Madison Square Garden tower. Dr. Hewitt brought to the notice of Lord Kelvin the mercury vapor tube which had been perfected by him two or three years earlier Columbia university, in recognition of this inven- ton and with some understanding Of the magnitude of the possibilities which might follow it, conferred the degree of doctor of science on the inventor
 Lord Kelvin had some perception of the revolutionary possibilities which were contained in the perfect development of the vacuum tube, and if he had been a younger man he would have been dis posed, as he intimated to the late Georse Westinghouse, to occupy himself with a study of this apparatus.
 The other day authoritative announce ment was made of the successful trans mission by electric or Hertzian waves ef telephonic communication between the wireless station at Arlington, Va, and the Mare Island navy yard, at or near San Francisco, and even to Honolulu although the transmission to San Fran cisco was for a distance of 2500 miles. So far as science is concerned, therefore there seems to have been successful dem- onstration of the triumphs of American inventors whereby it is possible to com municate intelligibly the human voice through space for a distance of 2500 miles and even more. This demonstration fol- lows speedily the successful operation of long-distance telegraph line. By means of this apparatus the voices of Theodore N. Vail and of his brilliant as- sistant, John J. Carty, were transmitted over the wires between the New York office and corresponding office in San Francisco, so that at last the long dis tance telephone had reached it's highest possibilities.
 The same intelects acting in co-opera- ton which made the long distance tefe- graph a scientific success also acted in cooperation so that at last apparatuses have been perfected by means of which the human voice can be transmitted through the air from New York or Wash sngton to San Francisco, communication being as perfectly maintained as would be the case were the instrument in ad- joining rooms.
