NEW WONDERS.

FUTURE OF WIRELESS.

CONNECTING THE HEMISPHERES. By Telegraph.—Press Awn.—Copyright. Received Feb. 16, 7.40 p.m. Rome, Feb. 15. Signer Marconi, in a sensational article ih the newspaper II Miovo Giornale, predicts an imminent revolution in wireless communication. He says that within the present year vocal communications transmitted without wires will replace the cumbrous system of to-day. This will dispense entirely with the cost of maintaining lines. It will also do away with the frtquent interruptions owing "to bad weather. Today we cannot concentrate on the expansion of energy within a limited sector of a circle, but science will find a way to direct electrical energy in a straight line, which will result in less expenditure of energy. Onca directive control is established we shall be able to gird the whole world with waves of electrical energy by simply pressing a transmitting button. Signof Marconi describes a marvellous .ra'dib-telegraphic receiver the tize of a gramaphone by which he receives all day long in his study every scrap of wireless news sent out. Bankers, politicians, and business men will soon be able to keep in continual contact with both hemispheres. The miserable ticking machine on which newspaper offices depend will yield place to this mighty invention, Which is equally suitable for news sending and news receiving, thus saving a great loss of time due to sending a separate, message. News will also be registered in clear language without the necessity for the Morse code. When radio-telegraphic receivers are established at every public school and University library, public interest in international happenings will immediately be stimulated. Every boy should be as well primed in world news as the inveterate reader.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
