Successful Employment of Wireless Telegraphy in Modern Warfare An Explanation of Its Principles -The Difficulties Surrounding Its Introduction Untiring Labors of Manager Cross and Others. Tlie recent successful use of wire less telegraphy in the Russo-Japanese war iu the transmission of war news ftoni Fort Arthur ami other points in the war zone, has created a renewed interest iu theimpoitance of this method of communication in modern warfare as well as in the commercial world. Japan has been especially piogressive iu the utiliza tion of the wireless and makes toe boast that they are the first to use wireless telegtaphy in war. Great Britain claims the honor of being the first nation to use telegraphy in warfare, and besides the field telegraph and telephone set vice em ployed by the Japanese in the war now in progress, they have an ex tensive system of wiieless which has taken a prominent pait in Japan's naval operations. The navy of nearly every nation is now equipped with wireless out fits and the military authorities of the world are equipping their most important forts with the most prac ticable systems procurable. Wire less outfits are also made a part of the signalling system for land use. The apparatus for this purpose is cartied in two carts, consisting of a stiull engine, current generator, re ceiving and transmitting apparatus. Kites or balloons are utilized in stead of poles which are not port able and the results have been most satisfactory. Wireless systems have been in stalled on nearly all large ocean going steamers, which can be put into communication with the instill- ments of many light house stations and light ships. Several of the press boats now plying in Korean waters are equipped with wireless instruments and have proven im portant adjuncts to the speedy transmission of war news. The shore station to which the wireless by opening and closing the key as war news is transmitted and thencan ordinary Morse telegraph kev is cabled to various parts of the world, operated, the train of waves is is situated on a cliff east of Wei- ( broken into what would correspond hai-wei, in North China.

This difficulty, however, it is believed can be remedied by by an atrangement of the wirelcw circuits which is called "tuning." That is, ihe.instruinentsof one cir cuit will be so adjusted that they will respond only to instruments similarly tuned An instructive article appears in the August number of .Review of Reviewsupon "Wireless Telegraphy To-day" by William Mover, Jr., to which we are aie indebted for much of the iulormation contained iu this ariicle Wireless telegraphy is the trans mission of intelligence at a distance by electrical waves without wires. Guglielmo Marco was the first to announce the discovery nbOut ten yeais ago, although prior to that date there had been several fairly successful attempts at communi cation without wires, by means of induction between parallel systems. In its simplest form the electrical oscillations arc generated iu a vertical wire by an induction coil or other electrical generator. The electric wates are radiated into free space and are transformed into electrical ooscillutions iu a similar vertical wire at the receiving station, where they are detected by very sensitive instruments. An ordinary telegraph key is employed iu send ing the messages. While the key j is passive there is a continuous traiu of electric current or os cillations maintained iu the verti cal wire and a corresponding train of electric waves radiated therefrom. When the key is opened the os cillations and waves cease. Hence ! Ducretel and other systems. in I Russia, the Popoff system and in ! Japan a wireless system has been developed, tlie inventors ol winch 1 arc not definitely known. I the Hawaiian Islands there is i operation the Cross system, or a i modification of the Marconi system messages and a system of relays ! was established.

Again failure met llieexperiinenters, i mid in November, njoo, another (expert arrived, who proceeded to shift the stations and masts. This proved effectual in a way for com munication was set up between the islands and continued iu a crippled state for about a year, when it was closed down by the company for unreliability of the service. It .seemed as though iu Hawaii, where the conditions were most favorable to the pructic.il demon stration of the wireless system, the efforts of Marconi and his repre sentatives had proved a failure. Then it was that the undaunted courage and faith of Cross, in the feasability of a practical system as serted itself. He made several trips to the states to learn what he could iu regard to wirel ess teleg raphy and its improvements. Returning Mr. Cross took up the work of experimenting himself and perfected a coherer which has proved successful in continuous actual use ever since. This is the result of the most trying endeavor on Mr. Cross' part, and he has worked night and day with the result that he has a detector coherer in use at each receiv ng station which is an improvement upon all others here tofore iu the field. Roth the re ceiving andtransmittingiiistrumen s have been brought to a high degree of perfection, and with the relo cation of the stations, the system is as nearly perfect as it is possible to make it. The Waialae (Diamond Head) station on Oaliti has been changed to Barber's Point, from which station it is possible to communicate with Kauai, I.auai, Molokai, Maui and Hawaii direct. The old Lanai and Molokai stations have been abandoned and auxiliary stations established which communicate with Lahaina. Besides these minor stations, the system now con sists of principal stations nt Barber's Point, Oahu; Nawiliwili, Kauai, Lahaiua, Maui, and Puako, Hawaii. Messages are transmitted direct from Oahu to Hawaii, and the other stations are only used to handle the business of the respective islands. Formerly a message in tended for Hawaii was subject to four relays, first to Molokai, thence to Lauai, thence to Makena, Maui, and finally to Hawaii. The new arrangement inaugurated by Man ager Cross dispenses with these in termediate stations so far as direct messages are concerned, and the instruments are so adjusted as to "interfere" with the other not cir- cuits. The Wireless in Hawaii is now oraganized on a substantial basis, but owing to the great expense to which the Inter-Island Telegraph Company have been put, to perfect the system, without government aid the venture would not be a success. At the last session of the Territorial legislature, a subsidy (appropriation of $t,ooo per mouth was passed for the continuance of the service.
