AUSTRALIAN "WIRELESS."
When the Commonwealth Government adopts a system of wireless telegraphy, it will probably be a .new system, the invention of an Australian. The inventor, according to his claim, ha 3 discovered a form of wave entirely different from those made use of in other systems of wireless telegraphy. With this wave he obtains absolute accuracy in transmitting messages, 'and his system requires but one-sixth of the electrical power needed in that of Marconi. But the great value of this Australian system, from a defence point of view, is that it records messages from all other systems. A pole over the inventor's laboratory catches all messages transmitted in the vicinity, and whenever a warship nr a steamer sends a message, bells in the laboratory ring, and through a telephone receiver can be heard the ticking of a wireless message sent somewhere by somebody. As a result of tests, the Director of the Naval Forces and the Minister t'or Defence are disposed to think the inventor has evolved a system far ruperior to any which other inventors have to offer, ani that, if the Military Board is convinced, the Commonwealth will instal I the system at various stations.
