WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.
THE FIRST MESSAGE. iPtess Association-By Telegraph-Copyright SYDNEY, Feb. 26. Last Friday night the first wireless message from New Zealand was received by a young experimentalist living at Arncliffe, who, using a fiftyfeet aerial, and witJi a detector of his own invention, picked up the Powerful's signals plainly all the way across to Auckland. When the flagship rounded North Cape the signals worn fainter, probably due to land coming between. He expects to hold her all through her cruise. On February loth he picked up the Encounter with Lord Kitchener on board, when about a thousand miles distant. The experimenter also thought he could detect the Powerful speaking to the Challenger on Friday last, and that he could hear the latter replying, although lie could not make out the message. He got several long messages from the Powerful.
