Mr Godfrey Isaacs, who presided at the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co.'s meeting in London, announced that Mr Marconi's invention of a simple installation to put an end to all danger of collision at sea. in darkness or in fog, represented but a part of his latest work. His now inventions would prove as epoch-making in the progress of the art of wireless telegraphy as the now world-famous patent, taken out in the year 1900. Since informing him that his research work in Italy, as regards the future practice of the entire science of wireless telegraphy and wireless telephony over both long and short distances would give results hitherto impossible. Mr Marconi had visited England and described to him the nature of liis new work. It would bo a long time, Mr Isaacs added, before the details of the invention were made public, but, he added, "the longer it remains as it is the better for us and the worse for Germany." A shareholder observed that probably Mr Isaacs' lips were sealed about the new invention by tlio Defence of the Realm Act. "But those who watch the papers." ho remarked, "can see that the premium for war :isks for shipping has decreased by two-thirds. We don't know what the reason is, but thero it is."
