It should be noted in connection with the recent epoch-marking transmission of clear speech between Peldhu and Syd- ney, N.S.W., that in the near future it is intended to utilize a beam directed towards Bydney as being the probable solution of one of the greatest. difficulties connected with trans-oceanic telephony. For the present, however, let us confine ourselves to the use of the beam in con- nection with pilotage and the safety of life at sca
On the island of Inchkeith, in the Firth of Forth, the apparatus that harnesses wireless energy into a ray or beam has been installed upon a large revolving platform. During loggy weather, when the Inchkeith light z obscured, the structare slowly revolves, the apparatus is started, and two beams of wireless nergy sweep the waters of the Forth. As the meridian of the beam paseca through the various points of the com- pass there is a series of flickers, javis- ible to the naked eye, which are caught by a small, compact apparatus installed on a ship's bridge. This apparatus acts as eyes to the navigating officer whose duly it is to steer the vessel, telling him. through the medium of telephones and the sound of musical dos and dashes, what is his bearing on Incbkeith.

There is no danger so insidious or so detested by the mariner as fog, and at last science is rapidly unfolding & plan which almost hilds à sixth sense to humanity, so that the navigating officer is able to discern, by direet signals, through the densest fog or foulest wen ther, and without any calculations, the accurate bearing of ship to lighthouse." The value of this is enhanced by the fact that, while the little apparatus in the wheel-house chirrups out the bearing of ship to lighthouse, it also indicates the approximate distance between the two.
