Topical, photo. CONTROLLED BY “WIRELESS.” AN AERIAL DESTROYER. An Englishman, Mr. Thomas Raymond Phillips, has Invented the torpedo of the air. Sitting at a transmitter in London, he can send a dirigible balloon through the air at any height, and to almost any distance. By means of the wireless transmission of electrical power, he can make it ascend or descend, turn to the right or left, and go forwards or backwards, fast or slow. He can make it stop dead over any selected spot—a town, a fortress, or a battleship—and by simply touching a lever can release the spring of a box carried on the frame and drop explosives on whatever lies beneath.—See “Progress in Science."
