WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
MARCGN I S DISCOVERT ES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. New York, June 20. Dealing with the nearest approach of Mars to the earth and following upon some experiments made at sea in that connection, Mt. Marconi lectured before a body of engineers, when he revealed some important developments for the improvement of wireless. He had devised a method of sending radio waves in a given direction, instead of spreading them broadcast, by means of reflectors somewhat in the manner a mirror reflects rays of light. This had been done between Birmingham and London, thus making possible clear speech in two places at all times. The reflectors increased the loudness 200, times and assured transmission without distortion. The same device could be used at sea between ships for bearings. Mr. Marconi also said he/had obtained results going far to show the relative [facility with which radio signals cau now be sent from England to Australia, and which seem to indicate that there is something in the idea of wireless . waves travelling around by various * ways and returning at the antipodes.
