Wireles telephonic communication between Berlin and London will bo an achievement of the near future, according to Professor Slaby, and he regatds it as not improbabl-s that he may ultimately oe able to ring np New York. There can be ho question as td the success of liia first effort to adapt the principle of wirelets telegraphy to the more convenient process of talking through the air. Several officials representing the German postal department were present when conversation waa transmitted by the tew method from BeTlin to Nauen, a distance tot 25 miles. The instruments Were similar m app^aranoa to those used in the SiabyArco 6ystem of telegraphing The tranjjSEiitting Apparatus reached a height of 20 feet above the toof of a building in Berlin, which w in itself 70 feet in ueight, and tho receiver had been placed nt thfc top of & high tower. Meesajres spbken by the ITnder-Secretary of the Post Office bre Btated to havo been Iward 'loudljr and distinctly' l at Nauen; tho test was, ia short, completely satisfactory, as was also another carried out later over a distance of three miles within the city area of Borlin. Piofecsor Slaby says that much of the success of tho invention must be credited to his colleague, Count Atco. and to the technienl staff of the Berlin Wireless Telegranhy Company. It would appear that tiioy havo completely anticipated Mr. Valdema* Poulsen, the young Danish expert, who stated recently that he was engaged on tho problem of wireless telephony.
