Through a bedroom window in London recently there came rapid automatic wireless telephony messages that were being sent out by a Bolshevik operating in Moscow. A "Daily Chrpniclo'' representative, who listened to these communications, henrd also messages from Hanover and Carnarvon. They wore all received on a new and specially designed mac'hino set, which Mr. Powell Rees (brother of Sir J. D. Eees, M.P.) has invented. It has boon named the "H. P. R. Long Range Receiving Set," and its manufacture for amateurs is shortly to be begun in tho Old Country. The remarkable feature of this set is that it is all contained in a tiny box, and is said to bo so simple iu its mechanism that a child can work it. Its range of capacity can be easily increased without making it clumsy. The cost of manufacture is only a few 'pounds. With three thermionic valves, which may bo described in non-technical terms as "magnifiers," messages sent from a distance of thousands of miles can bo heard with great distinctness. Every Sunday, between 3 and 6 and 6 and 8 p.m. Mr. Kees listens to a telephonic concert in Italy, and telephonic conversations from other stations oro regularly heard. Tho American stations are plainly readablo on this tiny set, although tho aerial used is only a wire 85ft. long hung between the upper bedroom window and a tree at tho bottom of tho garden. Mr. Rees has Bpent soino years in experimenting in wireless, and is a member, of the Wireless Society. Inoluded in his patented achievements are his system for reducing tho spaco occupied by the apparatus for long wave lengths,
