The "Telefunken system of wireless tole graphy worked by this Company arose out of the amalgamation of two systems which had separately obtained a world-wide renown among the many competitors in the field of spark telegraphy. These two systems were known respectively as the "Braun-Siemens" and "Slaby-Arco," the ane being exploited by the "Gesellschaft für drahtlose Telegraphie Prof. Braun und Siemens and Halske" and the other by the Allgemeine Electricitatsgesellschaft," In the summer of 1903 the two systems were fused into one, and the simple name of
"Telefunken" selected as the title of the com- bined systems.
For experiments with aerial conductors there are in and around Berlin, six special stations where the carrying distance and syntonizing of all new arrangements can be immediately tested, measurement taken of all wave-lengths and falling off intensity.
Amongst the principal patents belonging to this invention is the transmitter arrangement, in which an oscillation circuit, consisting of Leyden jars and a spark-gap and containing a large amount of energy, excites the aerial con ductor to slightly deadened self-oscillations, l'alent protection in Germany for this device was secured in the year 1898, that is two years before the Marconi Company in England be gan to employ the same arrangement.

MR. EDWARD BRANSCOMBE'S
WESTMINSTER GLEE AND CONCERT PARTY
In the Far East wa do not appreciate the stride made by Wireless Telegraph in Europe and America, a ship now-a-days, be she in the naval or mercantile marine service, could be practically always in communication with the shore should her owners consider it worth while to go to the expense of installing a system of wireless telegraphy aboard. The one great advantage of the "Telefunken "system is that it can be used with either a constant or an alternating current, ie, should it be necessary to instal asystem where there is already electric Power it would be unnecessary to go to the expense of more machinery.'.
Wireless telegraphy is not at present so satisfactory over land that has numerous houses and buildings or is cavered with a growth of tall sappy woods as the old system of telegraphy. On the other hand, in flat, open and moist ground, the bee-line serves as a basis in choosing an apparatus. Where the distance to be telegraphed over is water, then, wireless telegraphy cannot be beaten both for results and initial cost, As regards cost of construction the wireless system can be carried out at one-eighth the cost of the old mode of telegraphy and maintained at about a third of the cost. This is, of course, worth considering where new lines are required.
The installation in Shanghai is simply for demonstration and testing purposes and erected between the Agents offices in ze- chuen Road and the Soy Chee Cotton Mill, where the Aerial Conductors are suspenied between the two tall chimneys, still it would be possible from the points to communciate
The principal use of this station will be to test over a much larger stretch of country or sea.

With the exception of the powers mentioned above, only England and Italy have, as yet, decided to equip their navies with wireless telegraphy. These two countries have adopted the Marconi System; and it therefore becomes evi-lent that only the "Telefunken" and "Marroni" systems are capable of fulfilling the TUESDAY, 4th April, requirements of modern practice,
Other countries have likewise experimented with the system and some decided in its favour.

The distance to which reports may be trans- mitted by wireless telegraph is essentially determined by the size of the aerial-conductor net used for the radiation and reception of the electric waves, the extreme dimensions being those of a funnel arrangement swung between towers do metres or more in height. The larger these nets, the greater the source re- quired to supply them with the electric energy necessary for radiation. A definite standard cannot be set up, one system telegraphing 100 kmat other room. With like mastery of the technicalities of electric oscillation, the distance achieved is rather a mere quastion of the size of the station. To compare two systems, it is essential that both operate under like conditions, that is with equal energy. 1361
It is a characteristle of wireless telegraphy that the transmission distance of two stations ROYAL not constant, but varies according to the state of the atmosphere. The distance which electric oscillations will carry depends upon atmospheric conditions. Everyone who has any acquaintance whatever with wireless tele- graphy is aware that the carrying intensity will change, in perhaps a few hours, to such an extent that double or even treble Pates New the energy otherwise required to bridge ♣ Benares New ............. given distance will become necessary. This] Pertina (Paper) Is especially the case in summer. Hance in establishing reliable communication by means of wireless telegraphy, great attention must be paid to the factor of security common in technical affairs. For example, if two stations are at all times to be able to signal satisfactorily to one another at a distance of zoo km., it is essential that their energy be sufficient to cover a range of about 300 km, under favourable conditions; the stations are then said to work with threefold security. The neglect of these precautionary measures, so universally recognised in other branches of engineering, is the reason why enthuglastlé satisfaction with now installations of wireless | telegraphy is so often followed by a reaction, and why scepticism is expressed in certain | for any PAPER, or old ENVELOPES to be mada
