As long ago as last January Marconi be gan to work on the cylinder plan The ex periment* begun In his laboratory at I’oo e llarhor ttrsl from room to room with receivers only one-one thousandth part as sensitive a* the one he use,l for regular work between France and England; then he took his apparatus out of doors and. for several weeks along the- beach, he went through hundreds of experiments with the utmost patience, gradually ap proximating the proper relation between receiver and transmitter until perfect messages were finally sent across to the Is> of Wight, eighteen miles away. He ,|td not tell out.-Mers of this success, be cause he felt that he must first perfect his apparatus and plans, and demonstrate conclusively that the new system wa* bet ter than the old. The ( hanged >l-*thod. In essential arrangement and working. lh cylinder* plan 1* not greatly different from that of Ihe aerial wire. The trans muting Instrument* are practically the same, a battery. Induction coll, earth wire, ec„ the only change in this part of Ihe apparalua being the introduction resistance cotla where needed and an ar rangement for sending “iui.ed" messages (which may be explained later). Hut on the outside of the room which contains these, nothing Is to be seen. The cylinder stamis close at hand, upon a table, it may lie. insulated from any earth connection ex ept through the transmuting Instru ments when In action The receiving sta tion presents the same appearance; In deed the stations are all alike, being fit ted to aen.l and receive messages In the same room. When a message Is being received, ihe wire leading to the cylinder Is disconnected from the transmitter and attached to Ihe receiver. Thl-arrangement Is ued. of course, only w hen o single In stallation is in operation. With the ap paratus for differentiating be:ween mes sages which Marconi ha* worked and a number of Installations may be working together in the same room or building, and then tl Is possible lo send and receive Jual a* many different sets of messages as there are Instruments, differing In ca paelty. Hut thl* Is a further step. and. )ut now Marconi I* busy with the per fection of the cylinder plan on one In stallation.

That difficulty Is obvi ated. however, by the eyntonlc apparatus, whlrh make* tt Impossible for a reeer/er not exactly in tune with the transmitter to receive the messages sent. One may judge of the difficulty In finding the right electric ■'lima.'' when one real!*#* that these high tension vibrations vary from millions of vibrations to trillions per sec *ond. It I* Interesting to note that 400 bil lion vibrations In Ihe ether per second produce light and some trillion* per *oC ond produce the X-ray. To the theory that this wireless telegraphy Is carried on through the earth, that Is, bf disturbing the earth’s electric equilibrium, the objec tion arises that such disturbance would affect near at hand wire or cable tele graph systems, dynamo power houses arid til! sorts of eleetrlc operation*. Not so. necessarily. Sound waves and light wave* do not conflict because their rate* of vibration are dif ferent These high tenatnn vibrations of millions per second should not disturb vi brations which are lower, a* are telephone vibration*, for example, or light vibra tion* whlrh are higher. It I* true that any disturbance of the earth's electric operations on the earth’s surface, but thl* I* not a large factor and the difficul ties ran probably be easily overcome. But, It I* not beat to be 100 sure as to the nature of Ihe operation. Marconi has given months of thought mvl experiment to Just this problem, and It Is doubtful If he. even. I* sure of what Ihe force no ly Is Tesla ha* made many prediction* In connection with transmilling electric power In Just thl* way. III* plan meant simply that he would ’’kick” the earth electrically and the power put In tha blow could be pi -ked up anywhere on Ihe surfaco pf the e-irth. If th* proper de tecting and collecting apparatus was used. A French scientist has recently come forward with another plan quite similar, and tha French government I* trying to carry out hla Ideas He pro pones to test the earth’s surface at a large number of place* tn France, and find spots equal In electric capacity, or, by dig ging down far enough In the necessary place* reduca all these spot* lo an equal rapacity.

At Ihe recent meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Rcl rnca, considerable attention wa* paid to a wlrciea* telegraph plan which would work provkle.l wires were laid at the ter minal stations parallel to each other. Imagine trying to uar such a system on ships at sea If the wire# are stretched through the water, the length of the ship’s messgea may he stmt when the ships lie parallel to each other, and a limited distance apari.
