WIRELESS WONDERS.
MESSAGES NEVER LOST. WANDERINGS IN ETHER. LONDON, Dec.. 2?. "If wireless develops at the present rate people a century hence will be able to pick up the messages we are sending to-day," says a Marconi official, commenting on the fact that New York picked up messages one-sixteenth of a second after they were transmitted from Dorchester. "Messages are never lost, so far as we at present know, and they may go on eternally, continually growing fainter. We have trapped a message which was circuiting the world for the third time. "The voices of famous men are still wandering in the ether, like voices from the grave, waiting to be picked up by a sufficiently-sensitive instrument."
