A CHANGED WORLD

FUTURE OF WIRELESS MR MARCONI INTERVIEWED SENSATIONAL DEV ELOPMENTS PREDICTED. Pres* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, LONDON, February 24. (Received February 25, at 9.5 a.m.) Mr Marconi, interviewed, predicted sensational developments in wireless within two or three years. He said: “ Wireless lias now an immeasurably greater horizon than previously. The renewed possibilities point to a changed world. I am certain that there will soon be telephonic communication with all the dominions, but full Imperial development depends largely on the attitude of the Government, on which rests the scheme’s delay or encouragement. The development of facsimile transmission, whereby whole sheets of manuscript can be transmitted in their original form will ultimately succeed Morse, because it will be quicker and cheaper.” Referring to the secrecy of wireless, Mr Marconi said that cryptograph amounted almost to a secret system in which the receiving instruments sorted out an apparently meaningless jumble of words. Referring to the Wireless Conference, he said: “The value of cables in the past has been very great, but I hesitate to express an opinion as to their future.”—A. and N.Z. and ‘ Sun ’ Cable.
