These young men are telephone, employees. They have been devoting their leisure time to the mysteries of electricity. With a box kite they have received massages from various wireless telegraph stations. With another box kito and apparatus upon which they are now at work they believe they will be able to send mesinges frond the kite, using a dynamic. electrical machinery at all. In the event of their | success, this would do away with the necessity, for the permanent stations which are used by the Marconi, the De Forest, and all the other systems of wireless telegraphy now in use.
