' Mr. ..PoulsenjVof Copenhagen, has si>eht about JEIOO.OOO in tbe development of a giarkless system of ; wireless ..tolegraphy. y Wβ apparatus, which has , proved very successful, much more continuous series of electrical vibrations are claimed to bo sent out than by other systems. ■'.'■■ '■. ■ 'Apropos of the above it .is interesting to note that Dr. ]?. H. Millener, the wireless expert of the Union Pacific Railway Company at Omaha,' U.S.A., has successfully controlled elootriq- truck's by l wireV less, and has started, stopped, and backed them with ease and. certainty; ..Recently Dr. , Millener constructed,, a-cab signal which be fitted on to a locomotive. In front of the.signal was a glass disc' showing a red electric bulb and a semaphore. Attached to the outside of the box was a , gong. When ■ the ourrent at the sending station was tnrown.on, the antennae on the roof of the cab caught tbe electric waves, and the gong on the signal boi olanged loudly enough to attract the attention of the engineer; at the same aioment the : electrio -bulb blazed and ■ the semaphono assumed the' "block"- .ov- .da.iger position,, following tho motion uf; the semaphores of the block-signal system., ;'■'
