WIRELESS RECORD
AUSTRALIA TO ENGLAND. CONSTANTLY IN TOUCH WITH SYDNEY. London, October 31. The steamer Jervis Bay established a wireless record by nightly keeping in touch with Australia throughout her voyage. When she reached Plymouth she sent a wireless to Sydney, where the message was received within one-sixteenth of a second. Inside twenty minutes a reply came back. Interesting features were the low newer used, only a quarter of a kilowatt against 1000 kilowatts used by the Rugby station, and that the signals grew stronger and more constant after the ship passed Maha, and were practically entirely free from atmospherics. —A. and N.Z.
