London Correspondence New York World: For some weeks experiments of great interest In wireless telephony as distinguished from wireless teleg raphy have been carried on near Car navon by Sir William Pierce. Four high poles have been erected at the south end of Menal straits on a sand bank across the Gwyrfal river. Half a mile off four similar poles were erected. Half a mile still farther is a high pole supporting a coil of wire, with one end anchored in deep water. Between these points Sir William has succeeded, without any intermediary other than ether, in transmitting the sound of a succession of taps. The taps were made with a view to sending messages by the Morse code. They were distinctly heard at the receiving station by placing a newly invented ethereal telephone to the ear. Mes sages were sent without interruption for several days. Further experiments are contemplated. So far the system yields much more rapid results than Marconi's, although the sounds are not quite so distinct. A. W.

To Spend SCO, 000,000 on Oar Navy. The United States has fallen into line with Great Britain and Russia Id wanting a new naval outfit that will cost from $50,000,000 upward. Each of the two last named countries says It needs an extraordinary naval in crease in order to keep pace with the other. The United States wants $60, 000,000 worth of new outfits for our navy because of the large and widely scattered interests it has now to pro tect. According to present plans our navy now requires, or will require as soon as they can be constructed, three first-class battleships of 13,000 tons displacement each, three armored cruisers of 12,000 tons each, three pro tected cruisers of 6,000 tons each, and six unprotected cruisers of 5,000 tons each. Our new navy needs greater weight and speed, a minimum of wood work, fewer thirteen-inch guns and more secondary battery weapons. 3fle Carry a Complete L4ne of "I wouldn't be without DeWitt's Witch Hazel Slvo for any consider ation," writes Thos.
