New York, Sept. 3.-Wireless waves
10000 meters long, which he believed
might have come from Mars, were
picked up several months ago by
Guglielmo MarcOni, wireless telegraph
inventor, during experiments aboard
his yacht Electra in the Mediterra-

J. G. n. Macbeth, London manager
Of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
company, made this rtatement at a
luncheon of the Rotary club.
The maximum wave length produced
in the world today was $4,000 meters,
Mr.. Macbeth said, and the regularity
of the waves detected by Mr.. Nlarconi
and other experts led them to believe
that they were not electrical disturb
ances, but efforts of Mars to get into
communication with the earth. The
only resemblance of the waves TO, any

one municipal unit, under one NUM-
cipal government may make 1t the
