" WIRELESS" DIRECT TO AMERICA

DANISH INVENTOR'S CLAIM. COPENHAGEN, March 6. I had to-day an interview with the Danish inventor M. Yaldimar Poulsen. His wireless system, he explained, is based on "singing" electric waves. "I have to keep my latest experiments as secret as possible," he said, "m consequence of severe competition and the efforts of a German syndicate to learn the details of my system. In the course of the next month my experiments will be completed, and we shall. have established direct wireless communication with America from our trial-station at Lyngby (fiva miles from Copenhagen). Our new masts are already erected at Lyngby and m America, but we have not quite : i finished tho installation of the apparI atus on both sides of the Atlantic. j "It is quite true that the experiments already may have resulted m communication with America. | "The difference, between the -spark telegraph and my system is that the spark method loses power and energy I over long distances. -.- My electric ; waves are invincible arid retain tHeir.stveri^th over any disunite. My waves aing through the world continually, and nothing can stop them. "I commenced) experiments over a'distance of forty miles with complete success. Then I tried my waves over a distance of 190 miles, meeting with the same success, even when I increased the distanco to 380 miles and 760 miles. "At the present time I have communicated satisfactorily over a distance even greater than that between Denmark and America."
