WIRELESS ON TRAINS
PASSENGERS HEAR MUSIC IN SIX COUNTRIES TUNNELS ONLY OBSTACLES. LONDON, Jan. 25. The first British wireless train, specially equipped with super-hetero-dyne receiver-frame aerial, and twenty loud speakers, ran under the auspices of the Great Western RailwayRadio Society. While journeying from Bristol to Cardiff, enabled every passenger heard music in six: different countries, including San Sebastian, 1000 miles distant. A steel bridge and the four-mile Severn tunnel were the only obstacles causing a complete fading out of the signals, which recovered full strength half a mile inside the Cardiff end of the tunnel. While tht train was stationary at Bristol Station, it heard Pittsburg dance music.—Sun.
