It would appear from an interview with Signor Marconi in 'Great Thoughts' that twenty-nine Atlantic liners' are" equipped with wireless telegraph instruments, and Eome of the ships get <£60 on a voyage for passengers' messages. Asked which counicv, had been most generous in its help, he said it was his native Italy. "England is all right, but rather slow. America,°cUriously enousrh, is "last of all in tlie matter of help. Of the natitHis whose ships have taken up the system, Germany comes first then JZ-nfflaiid, France, Italy, Belgium." As to the distance wireless messages may b& sent in future, S^iior Marconi" refused to express an opinion. The present limit is about 3000 miles, but he thinks it reasonable to suppose that a greater power will cover a greater distance.
