SISTERS CONVERSE AT SEA. AT 150 MILES APART. (Received Saturday, 9,45 a.m.) NEW YORK, Friday. A wireless telephone communication: between persons on ships at sea and on the land has been proved practical by a conversation between two sisters 150 miles apart, one of the German liner Columbus and the other on tho Deutschland, who discussed social affairs, fashions, etc. Eight minutes* conversation cost 10s 6d.
The wireless operator on the Columbus said that he used the invention to converse successfully with other German liners, the Munclien, Stuttgart, Albert Ballin, as well as with the land. The apparatus was a duplex receiving and sending set operating on a wave length, of ISOO or 1450 metres, and overcomes interference between the receiving and sending antennae, which heretofore prevented simultaneous operation. The Telefunken Company of Germany is controlling the invention, and anticipates lowering the charges .for conversation when the device is completely out of the experimental stage, where it has been for two years. —Aus. and N.Z.
