POCKET WIRELESS.
A WONDERFUL IKVMTION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Friday. According to a letter received by a resident of Christchurch from a German friend, the pocket -wireless apparattn mentioned in yesterday's cable is the invention of Monsignor Cerebohrai, Papal Nuncio at Munich. The apparatus in the ipocket is a receiver like a large watch, containing n reel of wire, and with it goes a cone encased in a metal receiver. It lias an indicator on the face of the apparatus, which is used by uncoiling a wire fastening it to the highest available branch of a tree, connecting it with the receiver. The metal cone is stuck in the ground, and is also connected with the receiver. The oper ator is' then ready to receive message* from any wireless station within twenty or thirty miles, his only care being to watch the movements of a needle on th* indicator dial, which points to various letters or .signs, in accordance with the impulses .received from sending-statiMW. The apparatus cannot, of course, be used for the transmission of messages. The letter states that the invention ha« already attracted the attention of theGerman military authorities.
