WIRELESS TELEl'HOX V
There is no better source to learn
.iSouf what wireless telephony
is likely to do, thau from l)r. Pet
er Cooper Hewitt, oue of the men
who has been instrumental iu "briiig
iiiij about the present marvelous
results, and whose work con
tributed materially to the success
ful demonstration of yesterday in
which the human voice was trans
mitted not only intelligibly but
clearly from the Arlington station
ia Virginia to Paris, France, and
plainly heard in transmission by the
operator iu Honolulu.
Dr. Cooper predicts that wire
less telephony will servo to sup
plement the work of established
wire lint's between rural communi
ties and that subscribers living
along rural telephone lines will be
able to communicate with, their
neighbors across country, where the
sparsity of the population will not
warrant the construction aud main
tenance of an established service.
He also states that wireless may be
operated where there is power avail
able independent of wire telephony,
as for instance the power necessary
for the lighting of an ordinary in
candescent bulb. That power, he
maintains, will be sufficient to op
erate the family wireless for a dis
tance of twenty miles in any di
rection.
According to the same authority
tireless is likely to play an im
portant and eouomical part in tlie
extension oi wire lines where rivers
are to be crossd and there are
no bridges. Transmission in such
case is now accomplished by means
of submerged cable, but we
pr« told that the necessity for
this will be finally obviated by the
use of wireless.
Concerning wireless over seas, it
is the opinion of this authority that
t ne expense will prevent general
use; but we have the right to as
sume that following the history of
great discoveriess and inventions in
-pplied science, wireless telephony
will untimately mean the establish
ment of news gathering stations at
every port, and the exteuded use
ft' tl.'e same invention as between
moving vessels and betweeu the
t.-avfeler at sea and friends and
business asociates ashore.
Concerning the employment of
wireless on moving trains, while
such service has as yet beeu in
stalled in but few instances, scien
tists and inventors can see final ad
justments to be worked out that
will make it of great value in the
operation o: trains. With wireless
telephony, for eximple, the weather
*'U never put the wires out of
comml-X'ou. The factor of certain
and reliable opera-ion will be rea
lised; and this in itset.T- is to be
taken as an assurance of • kh effi
ciency in whatever field wireless is
employed.
Cheerful Givers.
Mrs. Onntwell—The Junkman would
nut !>uy those things we sorted out
yesterday.
Cantweli—Then let us be charitable,
my dear, and give them to the poor.—
