Herr Wirth has just demonstrated at Nuero» berg how one could, by his remarkable inven tion, accomplish the steering, of dirigible bal- leona by wireless means. It is equally within the bounds of possibility to equip military air- ships with wireless telephoner; day by day tha weight of the apparatus-:hat vital factor-is being diminished, and who can tell how soep it will be made sufficiently light to render pos sible telepitunic communication with those who navigate the sky?

It was due to Duddğil, three years later, how- ever, that the present system was inaugurated, for he discovered that the are lamp could be employed to transform an, ordinary electric, current into one which supplied electrical oscillations of many thousand per second, such as were essential to the successful wireless transmission of speech.
