By their new system of wireless telegraphy, Col. Pilsudski and M. Victor Poff claim to be able to send messages along the earth's surface to an unlimited distance. Tall poles are not needed, but two electrodes, separated by distances varying with the separation of the stations, are installed at each end of the line, the negative being placed in a sheet of glass, the positive buried three or four yards in the

earth, and the two connected with the transmit- ting apparatus. A successful trialin France -was made over a distance of about 650 yards,

A ray of light from a mirror, which is troved by an arm touching a needle on the diaphragm, is made to measure the vibration of a telephone transmitter. A diaphragm movement of 1/3,000h of an inch deflected the-spot of light 2 inches on a screen 25 feet away, the ticking of a watch gave noticeable deflections, and lond sonnds produced deflections of 2 feet..
