NEW WONDER.

SPEAKING ACROSS ATLANTIC, LONDON TO NEW YORK 'PHONE. Bj Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 9, 7.20 p.m. London, March 4. Mr. Godfrey Isaacs (managing director of the Marconi Company), interviewed, said telephony between Britain and America was approaching completion. A service may be opened in the autumn enabling a Ijondoner to ring up through the post office a business house in any American town. Perfect distinctness is assured, like telephoning locally or from London to Birmingham. The charge is not fixed, but it will probably be a shilling a minute.

The company intends to link up the world.—United Service.

Signpr Marconi recently predicted an imminent revolution in wireless communication. He said that within the present year vocal communications transmitted without wires would replace the cumbrous system of to-day. Once directive control was established we should be able to gird the whole world with waves of electric energy by simply pressing a transmitting button. Signor Marconi described a marvellous radio telegraphic receiver, the size of a gramaphonp, whereby lie receives throughout 'the day every scrap of wireless news sent out. Bankers, politicians, and business men, he said, would soon be able to keep continual contact with both hemispheres. The miserable ticking machines on which newspaper offices depended would yield place to this mighty invention, which was equally suitable for news sending and news receiving, thus saving a great loss of time due to despatching separate messages. News would also be register. Ed in clear language, without th:> necessity of the Morse code.
