WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Wellington, This Day. An important development in telegraphy took place yesterday as far as New Zealand is concerned, when the Post and Telegraph Department intimated to the public that it was prepared to accept messages for transmission by wireless. At present the following steamers trading to New Zealand are equipped : Maitai, Aorangi, Athenic, Tainui, Corinthic, lonic, Ruahiue, Rotorua, Arawa, Zealandia, Makura, Marama, and the vessels of his Majesty’s Navy in these waters. The Department has decided to make a charge of rod. per word (of which the ship is to receive qd.), and messages from sea will be delivered to address given by telegraph mesenger. So far only the Wellington wireless office is open for business, but people resident elsewhere in New Zealand may send messages to vessels with which communication can be established by paying the ordinary telegraphic rates between any point and Wellington.
