ELECTRIC FORCE,

Whether these sparks, emilted under a pres ure of 20,000 volts or more, are altogether safe, is a question which one must not stay to dis cuss. But what is certain is that there is an enormoni difference between the brutum ful- men of such a mode of communication cd (He calm and genile atmosphere of a Transilantic cable station. The reason is that in the one method your force is dissipated in all directíbus, so that you need an immense amount is order that à perceptible fraction of it may reach the. destined spol, 2,000 miles away; while is the other method practically the whole of your force is guided to its destination along the line of your cable. It takes a stong effort of im agination to conceive of the former method as superseding the latter,

Not that. Mr. Marconi's achievement is not wonderful, and even epoch-making. The mare one thinks of the arrangements which admit of the Ashes on the coast of Ireland being heard ns intelligible signals in the receiver of a tala phone a,cos miles away, the more marvellous they appear. Only nothing is gained except by speculations on the Stock Exchange-if wa immediately jump to the conclusion that the cable system of the world is doomed,

A MATTER OF SPEED. For what are the facts? Grast, if you will, that the speed of 25 words a'minute which Mr. Marconi is said to have mached in bisecti Transatlantic experimanta can be maistined regularly in actual working. What then? Any. one of the twelve cables between the British Isles and America is capable of 'n great a speed, and the best of them are capable of g speed four times as great.

"automatic methods of transmission, is much eater speed can be attained by the wireles stations. Tut this is altogether in the'fitüre. At present, the telephone only can be used a a receiver in long distance work; and with,s w finger-key at one end and a telephone at the other, 25 wordă a minute is as much as can safely be reckoned on, even under the best

The pair of wireless nations are thus only equivalent, at the best, to another cable. True, if they worked continuously, at a rate of as words a minute, they could carry one-fourth or more of the telegrams which the whole of the twelve, cables Bow carry. But we didit re member that telegraph traffic between Gfekt Britain and America is at present pinetically confined to a short period of the day; and unless the Marconi Gompily intend to cater for a class oftraffic which can be delayed for a few hours without complalat from the, Welders, their traffic must be confined to the same Bours. QUESTIONS OF COST.

As a matter of fact, the company tell on that they intend at first to take none but Press traffic, and to keep their stallons open for about hat the day only. Later, it appears, they hope to deal with private messages of a social char- acter-messages which are now seat to but a small extent, and which can be held over with- out inconvenience to anybody if the wireless stations should be pressed with work, orlfthey should happen to be temporarily out of order.

́ ́Ar Ejd. a word, a good many of the public may patronite a service of this kind; but we must remember that the lid, rate will only apply where the shilling rate now applies-vix to Easter Canada, New York, and one or two other places and that the farther.
