WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Interest has been revived in this npw method of commuahcation by the discourse delivered at the Royal Institution by Signor Marconi, to whose labours so much of the success of the system is clue. He. stated thatwhen returning from America he established an installation on board tho St. Paul, and by that means those on the ship received from the mainland, nearly seventy miles distant, all the recent war news while tne vessel was running at twenty knots an hour. The news so received was printed and' embodied in a paper called the "Transatlantic Times'' several hours before the ship reached Southampton. The lecturer also said that the War Office had commissioned him to establish wireless telegraphic apparatus at the seat of war, and that staticftis were now ready at Modder River, Belmon, Orange River, and De Aar. These installations, under the care of his assistants, were working well, and would prove invaluable should at any time the Boers cut the ordinary field-lines.—"Chambers' Journal."
