Wireless Telephony 1850 Miles.

The most important scientific
discovery of an age was made
when the officials of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany telephoned without wires the
other day from Washington to
Hawail distance of 4, 900 miles,
and from New York to the Mare
island Navy Yard in San Fancisco
Bay, distance of nearly 5000
miles.
Experiments in tslephoning
across the Atlantic have been
made, hut have not yet proved
successful. The telephone offici.
ais said only conditions due to the
war have made this use Of the
wireless phone impossible up to
this time, for the diffioulties of
sending word across the Atlantic
are not so great as telephoning
without wires across the United
States.
