ANOTHER " WIRELESS " SYSTEM.
"Singing Sparks" (writes the Berlin correspondent to the London Daily Mail) is the expressive name of an improved wireless system just perfected by tee German "Telefunken" Wireless Telegraph Company. Messrs. Slaby and Arco, chief engineers of the company, after whom the German system is generally called, have invented a device which, it is asserted, entirely obviates the uncertainties with which all wireless systems have hitherto had to contend. The new method, consists of sending out signals as pure musical tones, which ar6 capable of being "heard" by a receiver, no matter how softly they are attuned. It will thus be possible for the first time since the exislentte of wifeless telegraphy to maintain telegraphic conunanication in spite of the most violent atmospheric disturbances. Another advantage clajmed'is that it will be possible to work with much smaller "antennae," the "aerial wires" by which energy is absorbed and circulated. "Singing sparks" are entirely noiseless.
