Astonishing disclosures of tile recent achievements of wireless telephony (says tho Montreal correspondent of the "Daily 'Express") were made by Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, tho inventor of tho in a recent spcech to the Canadian Club at St. Catherine's, Ontario.

"If tlie telephone has reached its extreme 'limits, what next?" said Dr. Bell. "I cannot say what next, hut I can tell you of something that happened in Washington a few weeks ago. The telephone has been applied to wireless, and a man in Arlington, just across tho river from Washington, talked with a man on the Eiffel Tower in Paris by telephone without wires. Rut that is not all. A man in Honolulu heard tho conversation! From Honolulu to the Eiffel Tower is 6000 miles, one-third of tlio circumfcrcnce of the globe.
