WIRELESS.
A STARTLING THEOEY. WAVES CAUSE CATASTROPHES. (By Cable.—Prese Association.—Copyright.) (Received February 10th, 10.5 p.m.) PARL>, February 10. M. Buroguier, a well-known el?sctrician, has advanced a startling theory. He declares that there is reason to believe that wireless waves were responsible for several recent catastrophes, notably the Volturno horror and the explosion on the battleship Liberte. He explains that experiments in a laboratory mid-way between the Eiffel Tower and the Rochefort wireless stations snow that whenever two ■ places are sending messages simultaneously, an inexplicable phenomena is produced by the intersection of the waves. Two glass globes filled wth an inflammable gas were exploded by the disturbance thus set up. M. Buroguier noints out that the Volturno was in exactly the same kind of zone at the time of the disaster, and the Liberte, when destroyed, was between two other wireless stations.
