WIRELESS TELEPHONE.

The Danish wireless inventor, 11. Valdemar Poulsen, is busily engaged in the completion at Lyngby, five miles from Copenhagen, of a wireless telephone station, which is to be connected with the wireless station at Esbjere'. "It is my fixed intention," he said, "ultimately to establish a wireless telephone between England and Denmark (Esbjerg). Ido not intend to hurry, however, although my system ■■of wireless telephony has already proved fully succesful over long distances. That is in consequence of our new and improved microphones (the instrument which magnifies tiny • sounds) and other apparatus. "But the public will not be able to "telephone or telegraph by my wireless inventions until every detail has been "completed and stations have been es■tablishod ali over the world. While -every, day brings further progress -and experience, we do not wish to begin wireless telegraphing and telephoning between Denmark and England or America until we are quite •able to compete with the present •'cable. o . , "My system of wireless telegraphy, by using 'undamped' waves, "can now forward," M. Poulsen claim*ed, "at least seven times as many 'words as M. Marconi's system of -sparks, and my system otherwise is Reliable and safe." When M. Poulsen lectured at the 'Queen's Hall, last November, he showed that his "undamped" waves produce vibrations so rapid as to compare with those of a tuning fork, as contrasted with the "explosions" of the ordinary wireless system.
