LINKING UP THE PACIFIC.

CBy Tele S r 3 ph.-O wn j: orreßpondeau WELLINGTON, this fa Interviewed respecting hi. .*„♦ ' re wireless in hi/spee! on Saturday night, Sir Joseph Sg plained that the three high-nov^f i * at Bluff. Wellington and KSftJS be the most powerful the world It night communicate three thousand muL Sl-i! oyer the sea. The reason for XJP high power stations was that landr^ 1 times intercepted a f-£?* steamer, but with three, an anplTl" generally obtainable to and from L ? ! the stations without land intervening.. the chances would thus be a himdieS fifty to one that messages would ZtU interrupted. Installations at Cfaafch--Islands and other outlying po ints Sg9g be competed within six months, in twelve months wo should ba it! position to communicate by wirelesiora* the whole of the Pacific Islands, in touch with Fanning Island, *e wouM be able to communicate with Honolulu for certain, and thus ensure constant communication with San jJ dependent of the cable. Referring to the value of \yi«fa» «„ future exploration expedition* to jl Antarctic, Sir Joseph Ward remaned that the Government offered to find tot the Terra Nova a wireless plant from Wellington Post Office, but certain difi. culties were in the way, not on the side of the Government, and thus it was not done. Future expeditions would probably be in constant touch by wireless.
