favourable for constructive work
But the Council of Labor and De.
4 fence nevertheless issued a decree
providing for the extension Of the
wireless stations. The peoples Com.
missariat for Ways and Communica.
tions was ordered to institute a
number of powerful transmitting and
receiving wireless stations in the
centre and in the provinces. Of this
number one station is already in the
process of construction. The station
Twill rival the most powerful wireless
stations in the world, The Trans
atlantic wireless station built in the
vicinity Of Moscow will have the
|capacity of sending out waves all
over the globe. It possesses an alter
|nator of new type Of very high
iifrequency-twenty thousand original
motions a second apart from it's
wide possibilities as an agency of
information it will also produce ex-
tensive reforms in the matter Of
measuring longitude for purposes
Of navigation and surveying. There
is no doubt that the colossal power
Of the station will compel the radio
stations of other countries to adapt
themselves to it. 1t will also provide
extensive material and possibilities
for the study not only of wireless
telegraphy but, also of atmospheric
and magnetic phenomena, thus be-
coming an object Of examination not
only for Russian but also for for
eign scientists.
| All the work Of calculation and
lconstruction connected with the alter
nator has been accomplished by the
Wireless Laboratory Of Njegorod.
The inventor of the apparatus is a
member of the Laboratory Council,
engineer Wolokdin.
| This wireless laboratory was open
ed at the end of 1918 and for this
brief period Of time it succeeded in
making considerable contributions of
great scientific value. It is engaged
in the preparation Of new type Of
intensification which has hitherto
been imported from France. BY order
of the Council of Defence the labora-
tory started upon the preparation of
a number of radio-telephonic stations
through the application of positive
rally. A model of this has been work.

ing in the laboratory.
| Moscow has already a radio-tele-
phonic station Of this type, which
can carry the human voice over a
distance Of 4,500 versts. This is con-
Ifirmed' by the messages arriving from
the Chita station to the effect that
/ they can hear Moscow. The same is
true Of Irkutsk, Tashkent and Semi
palatinsk. The author Of these lines
assisted by the Ministry Of Postal
and Telegraph service carried on ex-
periments in Berlin to establish the
possibility of carrying the human
voice from that city and Moscow.
The main wireless station Of Gelt-
hoff was placed at our disposal for
that purpose. The investigation work
was carried on in the presence Of
Count Arko, one of the most pro-
minent scientists and inventors in
the sphere Of wireless telegraphy,
DR.. Ruhkopf the chief Of the ex-
perimental station Of the "Telefun-
ken co.., Gruznichka, DR.. Of ply
sical science, who had arrived from
London by invitation Of Comrade
Krassin, and the engineers and tech
nicians Of the above receiving sta
tion. At the appointed hour we heard
Moscow saying "hello", and the con-
versation that followed was so dis
tinct that I could recognise the
voices Of the persons speaking from
Moscow. The impression produced
was overwhelming. One Of those
present addressed himself to me say
ing: "How was II possible to achieve
such wonderful progress in a coun-
try, where, as our newspapers in
form us, everything is in a state Of
destruction and anarchy? Whom are
we to believe after that2" ! advised
him to believe the facts.
The German Ministry Of Postal
and Telegraph Service being greatly
interested in the experiment ordered
its laboratory expert, engineer yraz-
ka to verify it., As a result Of this
lie was established that the audi.
bility is sufficient for carrying or
regular telephone communication
between Berlin and Moscow. Ever
reducing the power to one half there
is the possibility Of carrying the
human voice over the distance be-
} tween Berlin and Moscow. This leads
to the conclusion that the conversa
tion from Moscow was heard by al
} the most important radio stations ir
Europe, which was actually confirm
