By Telegraph.—Press ABSoci&tion.-CopyrlßM.
London, April 23. Lord Kelvin, president of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, addressing the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in New York, predicted that submarine telegraphy would continue useful even after wireless telegraphy had become a commercial success.
Lord Kelvin has acted as electrician in the laying of many cables, trans-Atlantio and other, and is regarded as the greatest of living physicists and scientific inventors. A few days ago Sir Joseph Ward received a cablegram from the Agent-General informing him that in the opinion of such an eminent authority as Lord Kelvin, it , is practicable to connect Fanning Island and Honolulu by wireless telegraphy, a distance of about 1000 miles.
