WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
A meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce (London) recommended that communication by telephones or ethergfams be established between lightships and lighthouses and the shore, Marconi, who was amongst the speakers, declared that ethergramic communication with lightships and lighthouses was working successfully in Germany and America. He emphasised the fact that Belgian steamers by means of the Marconigraph, announced the breakdown of the Bteamer Pas de Calais in the recent gale. Mr Gerald Balfour, president of the Board of Trade, addressing the Lifeboat Institution, said that the difficulties associated with wireless communication between lighthouses and the coast in their relation to national defence, rendered a comprehensive plan imperative. He hoped that Pastnet and the shore would soon be connected by ethergrams.
