VALVE THAT TRANSMITS ELECTRICITY.

A wirelem valve has been invented which, it is claimed, brings appre- ciably nicarer the time when it will be possible to transmit through the ether sufficient power to energise lighting systems and work machin- ery at great distances.

This valve, by which very short wireless waves can be produced, is the result of prolonged experi ment in the research laboratories of the General Electric Company of Schenectady, U.S.A."
