'Wrlle l am an enthusiastic Esper-

Apropos OF the beginning OF work
on stations that will carry electric
currents by wireless between Ger
many and Argentina, Graf ArcO said :
Wireless ielegraphy has reached a
siage OF development In which prev
iOus difticulties encountered I'm long
distance transmits on have now been
overcome. The greatest distance now
practical Is an earth quadrant. or
10000 kil0me.ers. The chief difficulty
hitherto encountered was with the
transmitting Stallion, but high fire.
quenoy machines have been developed
50 that now this trouble no longer
occurs.
AS a result. the proposed connec-
fion with Argentine win be virtually
perfect. Germans and Argentinians
have collected practically all fhe nee
esssary capital, so that the erection Of
me oversee apparatus could already
be undertaken.s
Graf Arco is optimistic as 10 the
future Of wireless telegraphy-an

rec0iVing difficulties arising from too
many stations sending in conflicting
directions or at improper times.
He pointed out That about 6000o
words can be transmitted daily by a
wireless station. whereas with cables
there is a considerable delay from ne

routes must be followed.

ma wireless telephone messages can
be picked up from all quarters Of
Europe.
Nauen Is waiting an opportunity to
demonstrate thas conversations are
possible with America. Fifteen years
ago, Graf Arco. as an April Fool Joke,
printed a Supposed wireless telephone
speech between America and Germany.
To-day. however, what was once
merely an April Fool Joke is today,
