MORCONIGRAMS AND SHIPPING.
Ifc would appear, from an interview with Sighor Marconi in " Great Thoughts," that twenty -nine Transatlantic liners axe equipped with wireless telegraph instruments^ and some of the ships get £560 on a voyage for passengers' message®. Asked which -^ountry had been most generous in its help to him, he said it was his native Italy. " England is all right, but rather slow. America, curiously enough, is last of all in the matter of help. Of the nations whose ships have taken up the e/stem, Germany) comes first, then England, France, Italy, Belgium." As to the distance wireless messages may 'be sent in future, Signor Marconi refused to express an opinion. The present limit is aboub three thousand miles, but he .thinks ifc reasonable to suppose that a greater power will cover a greater distance.
