Herr Wirth has just demonstrated at Nuero» berg how one could, by his remarkable inven tion, accomplish the steering, of dirigible bal- leona by wireless means.

It was due to Duddğil, three years later, how- ever, that the present system was inaugurated, for he discovered that the are lamp could be employed to transform an, ordinary electric, current into one which supplied electrical oscillations of many thousand per second, such as were essential to the successful wireless transmission of speech.
