EXPLOSIONS BY WIRELESS
Mr Edison says, according to the Paris ‘Matin,’ that it is now possible to bloV up •a munitions depot from a distance by wireless; If preparations have been made for tha reception of tbs charge, this is, of course, quite possible, but Mr Edison presnmably means that he has found a way to blow up a powder magazine without internal aid. If so, there is one Government at' least whom he would be well advised not to approach in the first instance. Italy must still have painful memories of her experience fome years ago with the “F Rayj.” Their inventor claimed that they would cause distant explosions, and made out so plausible a case iri preliminary experiments that the Government took him up. But when tho final test—the blowing up from land of a battleship—was arranged he departed, taking his secret'with him.
