Fish Stories.

Representative Merrick was talking
In Oklahoma City about n fish specu-
lator who had made millions during
the war.
Its good fish story" he said,
land fish stories are popular. In fact,
they've been n popular ever since the
days of Jonah.
in the days of Jonah the fish swal-
lowed the prophet and the people
swallowed the story, but nowadays the
people swallow the fish and somebody
also swallows the profit"

II Is still little premature to talk
Vi the day when everyone will pos
sess his individual wireless telephone,
particularly one of the portable vari-
ely, which may be carried about and
| useu at VIII; but / am not going to
suggest that it will never be possible
Tor a large number of circuits to be
used within the same area.
This does not mean that there is not
already valuable field of practicable
usefulness for the wireless telephone.
The field Is greater than Is generally
realized today, and / regret to say
that Its application to industrial needs
is taking place more rapidly in other
countries than in this one. In Hol-
land, for instance. the Amsterdam
stock exchange circulates by wireless
telephone at frequent intervals daily
the latest financial information, and
this is received simultaneously in
nearly 200 banks In Holland by means
OF apparatus constructed by the Mar
conf company. ] am informed that
the arrangement has given great salts
faction and considerable impetus to
business.
What Holland can do can be done
equally well in this and other coun-
! tries, and the information radiated
need not be confined to financial mat
ters. All that is needed is a fair on
portunity for demonstrating the pos
Sibilities and for conducting "a similar
service.
a few weeks ago representatives of
the Times newspaper talked by wire
less telephony between Southwold in
Suffolk and Zandvoort in Holland. On
that occasion they conversed freely
for 5O minutes from the respective
wireless telephone stations, and [ hone
that we may be permitted shortly to
show that our experiments between
Southwold and Zandvoort have very
practicab-e application, and that nv
linking up this wireless circuit with
the telephone wires at the English and
Dutch ends 1t may be possible for any,
one in London possessing d telephone
apparatus to ring up the exchange in
London, ask for the wireless route
to Amsterdam, and speak to a CORE
spending subscriber In Amsterdam. In
this case the telephone message from
London to Southwold would be relaved
automatically by wireless across the
North sea, reconverted to land wire
message between Zandvoort and Am.
sterdam, and received in Amsterdam
exactly In the same way as a short
distance call over the ordinary cir
cult.

The only commercial use for which
wireless telephony has so far been
sanctioned in this country is that of
establishing a communication between
the Bar lightship in the Irish channel
and the offices of the Mersey docks
and harbor board in Liverpool. In

every hour of the day with this ap-
paratus by men who have had no spe-

need hardly dwell on the growth
of wireless telephony in connection
with aerial communications be-
lieve l am right in stating that every
British machine regularly flying be-
tween London and the continent has
been fitted by the Marconi company
with the wireless telephone, and we
have numerous Instances where these
instruments have contributed to the
safety of the services, and performed
other valuable functions.
We have also demonstrated to one
of the railways the possibilities of
wireless telephone communications as
an auxiliary to the ordinary telephone

into general use 1Or cOnnercldl pur-
poses. The longest telephone cable
actually operating today is about loo
miles in extent. AS matter of fact
ordinary cable telephony has not yet
taken place between England and Hol-
land, although these two countries
have such intimate commercial rela-
tions that there can be no question
about the demand.
The trouble in underwater cable
telephony lies in the very pronounced
distortion which takes place after the
electrical waves. which are the equiv
alent of the vocal sounds. have passed
a few miles through the cable. Even
in the twenty odd miles between Eng
land and France 1t has been found
necessary to place on the ocean bed
special appliances for overcoming this
distortion. These appliances add con-
siderably to the expense and upkeep
of the circuit.
Now, it is a curious fact that, al
though On electrical oscillation pro-
Jected through an under-sea cable be-
comes rapidly distorted, an electrical
wave radiated across the ether by a
modern wireless apparatus retains its
original characteristics however great
the distance over which it may travel.
In wireless telephony we convert
the modulations of human speech into
equivalent modulations of the cleo
trical waves. and radiate them through
the ether until they strike the aerial
wires of receiving apparatus. There
they are reconverted into sound waves
such as can be recognized by the hui
man ear. AS the ether IS so elastic
as TO allow these electrical waves to
maintain their original form. the ques-
ton of reception is little more than
that of magnifying the incoming sig
nails.
Wireless speech has already taken
place across the North Atlantic ocean,
but the apparatus employed was of
an experimental. rather than COM
mercial character, and therefore de-
velopment is necessary before one can
record transatlantic conversation as
a commercial possibility.
To conduct uninterrupted speech
over sea distances similar to that be-
tween London and New York will re-
Quire, at any rate with our present
day experience, considerable power at
the transmitting end. Until few
weeks ago l might have been tempted
to estimate this power at the electrical
equivalent of over 1000 horsepower,
but the experiments which have been
engaged upon recently on my yacht,
the Electra, lead me to modify my
estimate. Hitherto, as everyone con-
nected with wireless Is aware we have
always found it necessary to keep
n reserve on commercial wireless cir
cults a large amount of electrical en-
ergy for the purpose of breaking
through terrestrial electrical disturb
ances. The sources of these disturb
ances are not always clear, but they
are such that at intervals during the
day, and notably in the summer
months, they set up in the wireless
receiving apparatus such a din of
meaningless noises that it is difficult
to read the systematically transmitted
signal.
This new apparatus, which has been
developed by engineers of my com
pany, makes it possible for us to sift
the mixed wireless and non-wireless
impulses so that we obtain on our au-
tomato recorders, or in the telephone
receivers only the signals sent out by
the distant wireless stations. l think
