Tonga, Tahiti and elsewhere are to be equip ped. These places will act as feeders to the cable lines, for wonderful es it is, wireless cannot yet compete with the lines now carrying the important traffic from the Com monwealth. The messages collected will be handed in at Fiji. The cable companies will greatly benefit by this extension, as will also shipping and general trade, while the improvements that are being made in the system itself are proving an inestimable boou to the commercial mao. Thus, the new sparkless (De Forest) system permits of several telephone messages being received on one aerial at the same time, so that busy, men in Chicago can "talk" to New York at the same time as their colleagues. We may with certainly expect a development of wire less along the China coast in the not distant future. Experts tell us that the messages will shortly be cheap to send, so that this easy and rapid means. of communication should strongly appeal to business men, Io the meanwhile the air has joined in the great conspiracy of progress which is driving the old world to heights as yet andreamt of.

TEE VOICE OF THE AIR," The astonishing characteristic. of wireless telegraphy is to-day its simplicity. It has ceased to be carvellous, although accom- plishing marvels. Like the flying machine it bas come upon us almost unnoticed, that is, in its perfection. It is scarcely a generation old, yet a schoolboy with the ability to read the Morse telegraphic alphabet by sound, can easily make a wireless apparatus and draw upon the news of the space world above his head. We read in the American news- papers of the man who with a couple of bent plós, a little wire and the posts of his bed _constructed a receiving station-and-used-to-
