WONDERFUL WIRELESS.
[press association.] CHRISTCHURCH, This day. According to a letter received by a resident of Christclrurch from a German friend a pocket wireless apparatus mentioned in yesterday's cables is the invention of Monsignor Cerebontani, the Papal Nuncio at Munich. The apparatus is a pocket receiver like a large watch, containing a reel of wire and with it goes a cone encased in metal. The receiver has an indicator on the face and the apparatus is used by uncoiling a wire fastening it at the highest available branch of a tree connecting it with the receiver. The metal cone is stuck in the ground, and also connected with the receiver. The operator- is then ready to receive messages from any wireless station within 20 or 30 miles, his only care being to watch the! movements of the needle on the indicator dial, which xooints to various letters or signs in accordance with the impulses received from the sending station. The apparatus cannot, of course, be used for the transmission of messages. The letter states the invention has already attracted the attention of the German military authorities.
