 Prof. T. Joly of Dublin has suggested an ingenious method of measuring dis tances by wireless. He relics on the fact that disturbances travel with. diff ferent speeds in different me1ia. Sound travels 100 feet. or more second in air and about 47o0 feet seco.d in water. while wireless or light signals travel at equal speeds, Thus, if a shore station sends out these different signals at the s:;,sg-ss tis::e,. thesf -ill net te ,rece,ved hy the ship simultaneously; there wii.

If hrile ftom the station, ship would receive a sound sig 'na. in air 4.5 seconds later than sound sigral in water, and in air sound 5.5 sec onds, or sound in water l.s seconds later than a wireless signal. Therefore, with Knowledge sof the interval which eispses between the reception of any two of these different signals, it is com paratively simple matter to calculate the source from which they have been sent.
