WIRELESS PHONE INVENTED.
New Jersey Electrical Engineer Claims to
Operate Over Distance of
f Twenty Miles.
In a little workshop in a quiet
iart of Newark a young inventor
jas devised and perfected a wire-
ss telephone which is as remark-
at- thp mwntnr 5 svTPin or wire-
ss telephony will transmit the
umau voice tnrougn eartn ana

The name of the young man

latest of practical wireless inven
tions is S. V. Granger, an elec
trical engineer living at Watses
sing. N. J. Already several prom
inent electric companies have of
fered him a handsome price for his
invention, but he has refused to
sell. He can afford to wait until
he is offered what he thinks his
telephone is worth. He has filed
his anolication for a patent at
Washington.
About a year ago Mr. Granger
was returning from Xondon on the
Steamship Lucania and, being in-
crested in wireless apparatus,
.vent up to the little wireless sta
tion on the liner. A message was
being received at the time, and
while he watched the operator at
the instrument the idea of a wire
less telephone occurred to Mr.
Granger. If dots and dashes
could be sent, he believed the

theory. He hired a small shop in
Newark, and during his spare time

ing the riddle. His experiments
at last bore fruit, and a few months
ago the apparatus was perfected.
The wireless telephone invented
by Mr. Granger is not unlike the
Tdinary telephone in agpearance.
It has the usual transmitter ana
receiver, spark, or flash coil mag
net, etc. The secret of the inven-
t tion is contained in a glass tube
?nine inches long. In one end of

experiments proyed that it-could
torn Xewark to Barnardsville, a
stance of 20 miles, most success
fully. He is now making arrange
ments for a station in New York
and one in Trenton, JN". J., and
expects to make a long-distance
test between the two cities in IC
days or a fortnight.
The possibilities of the wireless
telephone are practically limitless.
Its value to an army in time of
war would be almost inestimable.
Mr. Granger's invention is so
constructed that an entire outfit
with a range of 50 or 100 miles
could be carried by a man without
any trouble. A scout, for in
stance, couid pack a telephone in a
case no larger than would be neces
sary for an ordinary camera. Get
ting sight of the enemy he could
instantly telephone his informa
tion to the main body of the army.
There would be no danger of hav
ing the message stolen in transmis
sion, as the instrument would be
"tuned" so as to avoid this. Men-of-war
could, also be equipped with
the apparatus.
Mr. Granger believes his method
eventually will take the place of
ordinary telephone circuits and he
says it will be particularly valuable
at sea in preventing accidents in
fogs, etc. One of its most useful
inheres 'is its aoDlication to ves-
r
sels in harbor. Under such con
dition the wireless telegraph is not
advantageous, as it requires an
operator, and an experienced one.
to handle it, and delays are fre
quent. On the other hand the
wireless telephone is a first-hand
instrument and may be applied to
any vessel at a comparatively small
cost. The instrument can also be
installed in a house for $10 and the
cost of operating it is very small.
