INTERESTING. LECTURE BY/
MAJOR MILES.
Ал Interesting lecture on Modern Wirciosa was delivered by Major Milos, R.E. at the Helena May Instituto last night, when a fairly large gathering listened with rapt attention to some of the present-day wonders schleynd by wireless.
In the course of his lecture, Major Miles touched upon wireless telegraphy, telephony and telo vision, delving into interesting do- tails and displaying a deep know- ledge of the subject," de

Wireless, said Mr. Southern, was one of the things which occu- pied everyone's attention at the present time, all over the world. It was their privilege to listen to an expert on his own subject..." To an ordinary layman, wireless was a complete mystery and when one could sit in a room and with the aid of a small box laton to songs and music, which were being pro- duced about 1,000 miles away, one felt like a 'child at the Zoo, looking at thd giraffe for the first time, merely gasping, and saying "1 don't think It is true. Major Miles would go a long way to show | how wireless was truo.
