The Marconi system of wireless telegraphy was recently demonstrated in the House of Commons in London, messages being sent from a room in the terrace of the buildings to St. Thomas' Hospital, on the other side of the Thames. The wires used at either end were let fall from windows and connected with lamp posts, but with no connection across the river. A number of messages were sent and received, in the presence of the Speaker and members.
