LONDON, July 2. ♦Godfrey Isaacs said that it was quite possible for the Marconi Company to transmit across the Atlantic twenty-five million words annually. The rates were already 30 per cent. I cheaper than cables wherever they ! we're in competition.

Carnarvon and Belmar stations mark a new epoch in wireless, and they would be nble to despatch and rece've with as much certainty and secrecy is the submarine but at a third less co* I *.' .and <t'-\] have a large nrofit. Sign or Marconi had assured him when the mechanical apparatus was complete for automatic wireless teleeraph. there was no reason why they .should not receive and send three hun dred word*; a miriute. •Signor 'Marconi had. already wireless ed'v telephoned six hundred miles. He contemplated Hephoniner from Carnarvon to New York.

( " It would also enable the Pacific Company to arrange a suitable week end letter service. ; .Moreover the two pence per word paid the Atlantic companies for transit from Montreal to the rable landing would accrue to the aPcific cable, while the Marconi Company was in a position to quote the Pacific cable at the Atlantic Tate of sixpence per word for ordinary messages
