of. Uils new science wireless te
lephony may have made It pos
sible for the business man sitting
In his olllee In London to ring up
his neighbor In New York or Chi
cago. This Is a development quite
within the bounds of achievement.
Technically. It Is a much simpler
- '
matter than that of telephoning from Knxlund to
America by means of an undersea cable:
I believe I am rh;ht in stating that the great
est under-waler distance through which ordi
nary telephony has been conducted to date Is not
more than L"0 miles, and that this has only been
accomplished experimentally by employing appa
ratus Mich as could not In Its present form be put
into general use for commercial pur
poses. The longest telephone cable
actually operating today Is about 100
miles In extent. As a matter of fact
otdlnary cable telephony has not yet
taken place between England and Hol
land, although these two countries
luivo such Intimate commercial rela
tions that there can bo no question
nbout the demand.
The trouble In under-wntcr cable
telephony lies In the very pronounced
distortion which takes place after the
electrical waves, which are the equiv
alent of the vocal sounds, have passed
a few miles through the cable. Even
In the twenty-odd miles between Eng
land and France It hns been found
necessary to placo on tUo ocean bed
special appllnnccs for overcoming this
distortion. These appliances add 'con
siderably to the expense and upkeep
of the circuit.
Now, it Is n curious fact thnt,nl
though an electrical oscillation pro
jected through an under-sea cable be
comes rapidly distorted, an electrical
wave radiated across the ether by n
modern wireless apparatus retains Its
original characteristics however great
the distance over which It may travel.
In wireless telephony we convert
the modulations of human speech Into
equivalent modulations of the elec
trical waves, and radiate them through
the ether until they strike the nerlal
wires of a receiving apparatus. There
they nre reconverted into sound waves
such as can ho recognized by the hu
man car. As the ether is so clastic
ns to allow these electrical waves to
maintain their original form, the ques
tion of reception Is little more than
that of magnifying the Incoming slg-
nals.
Wireless speech has already taken
place across tho North Atlantic ocean,
but tho apparatus employed was of
nn experimental, rather than a com
mercial character, and therefore de
velopment is necessary before one can
record transatlantic conversation as
n commercial possibility.
To conduct uninterrupted speech
over sea distances similar to that be
tween London and -New York will re
quire, nt any rato with our present
day experience, considerable power at
the transmitting end. Until a few
weeks ngo I might havo been tempted
to estimate this power at tho electrical
equivalent of, over 1,000 horse-power,
but the experiments which I havo been
engaged upon recently on my yacht,
the Elettrn, lead me to modify my
estimate. Hitherto, as everyone con
nected with wireless Is aware, we havo
olways found It necessary to keep
in reserve on commercial wireless cir
cuits a large amount of electrical en
orgy for tho purpose of breaking
through terrestrial electrical disturb
ances. Tho sources of these disturb
ances are not always clear, but they
nre such that at Intervals during tho
day, and notably In tho summer
months, they set up In the wireless
receiving apparatus such a din of
meaningless noises that it Is dlfllcult
to read tho systematically transmitted
signal.
This new apparatus, which has been
developed by engineers of my com
pany, makes it possible- for us to sift
tho mixed wireless and non-wireless
impulses so that wo obtain on our au
tomatic recorders, or In the telephone
receivers only tho signals sent out by
tho distant wireless "stations. I think
relessWonders
that one of the outcomes of this In
vention will bo the employment of
smaller powers than have hitherto
been considered necessary for cover
ing certain dlstnnces.
It is still u little premuture to talk
of the day when everyone will pos
sess his Individual wireless telephone,
particularly one of the portable vari
ety, which may he carried about and
used nt will; but I nm not going to
suggest thnt it will never be possible
for a large number of circuits to be
used within the same area.
This does not mean that there Is not
ulready a vuluublo field of practicable
usefulness for the wireless telephone.
The Held Is grenter than Is generally
realized today, and I regret to say
that Its application to Industrial needs
Is taking place more rapidly In other
countries than In this one. In Hol
land, for Instance, tho Amsterdam
stock exchange circulates by wireless
telephone at frequent intervals dally
the latest financial Information, and
this is received simultaneously In
nearly 200 banks In Holland by means
of npparatus constructed by the Mar
coni company. 1 am Informed that
the arrangement has given great satis
faction and a considerable Impetus to
business.
What Holland can do can bo done
equally well In this and other coun
tries, nnd the Information radiated
need not be confined to financial mat
ters. All that Is needed Is a fair op
portunity for demonstrating the pos
sibilities und for conducting a similar
service.
A few weeks ago representatives of
tho Times newspaper talked by wire
less telephony between Southwold In
Suffolk and Znndvoort In Holland. On
that occasion they conversed freely
for SO minutes from tho respective
wireless telephono stations, and I hopo
thnt we may bo permitted shortly to
show that our experiments between
Southwold and Zandvoort have a very
practicable application, and that by
Unking up this wireless circuit with
tho telephone wires nt tho English and
Dutch ends it may be possible for any
ono la London possessing n telephone
apparatus to ring up tho exchange In
London, ask for tho wireless routo
to Amsterdam, and speak to a corre
sponding subscriber In Amsterdam. In
this case tho telephonic messago from
London to Southwold would bo relayed
automatically by wireless across the1
North sea, reconverted to land wire
message between Zandvoort and Am
sterdam, nnd received In Amsterdam
exactly In the same way us n short
distance call over tho ordinary cir
cuit The Anglo-Dutch wireless telephono
circuit operates on a wave length
which permits of very sharp tuning,
and causes no disturbance to tho wire
less circuits employed by tho military,
navul and ulr services. It would, in
fact, bo posslblo to multiply these
routes and hnve quite n number of
wireless circuits to tho continent
working In collaboration with tho land
lines.
While tho experiments nt South
wold uro ubout 1o demonstrate tho
Immedlnto practicability of wireless
for trunk routes, whether they bo
overland or overseas, a series of experi
ments in another part of this country
has demonstrated that It is now pog
slblo to speak by wireless In one par-

tlcular direction. This discovery will
remove the objection that conversa
tions c..n bo overheard by those for
whom they are not Intended.
Tho only commercial use for which
wireless telephony has so far been
sanctioned In this country Is thnt of
establishing a communication between
the Itur lightship In the Irish .channel
und the olllccs of tho Mersey docks
and harbor board in Liverpool. In
tercommunication is conducted almost
every hour of tho day with this ap
paratus by men who have had no spe
cial training, and without any Inter
ference with tho wireless service con
ducted at the mouth of the Mersey by
tho Seuforth station belonging to the
British post olllcc. It Is absurd to
think that this Is tho only pluco
where u useful servleo cun be per
formed by wireless telephony.
I need hnrdly dwell on the growth
of wireless telephony In connection
with ucrlnl communications. I be
lieve I urn right In stating that every
British machine regularly Hying be
tween London and tho continent has
been fitted by tho Marconi company
with tho wireless telephone, and wo
havo numerous Instances where these
instruments havo contributed to the
safety of the services, and performed
other valuable functions.
Wo have also demonstrated to one
of tho railways tho possibilities of
wireless telephonic communications as
on auxiliary to tho ordinary telephono
lines, nnd It may be that now govern
ment control has been removed from
railway operations, some progress will
bo mado along the Hues Indicated by
us.
I havo suggested that tho day has
not arrived for the so-called pocket
wireless set Tho sensitiveness of
wireless receivers has been so greatly
Increased In recent years that It Is
posslblo even now to possess portablo
apparatus capable of receiving slmuls
from high-powered stations many hun
dreds of miles distant, but this Is quite
a different matter from transmitting
signals. For wireless transmissions It
Is still necessary to rulso u wire a
considerable height above tho trans
mitter, nnd If serious distances have
to be covered It Is nlso necessary to
havo a sourco of electrical power
greater than can bo ut present con
veniently carried by nn Individual.
How near wo have approached tho
Ideal of n portablo transmitter was
demonstrated by tho Marconi com
pnny n few months ago when the Lon
don flro brigade conducted wireless
telephonic communications between
ono of their tenders on Putney LTeath
and their headquarters at Southwark,
n distance of some seven or eight
miles. In this case the aerial wire was
hung from tho branches of n small
tree near tho roadside, and the ap
paratus employed was stored In n
small space at tho back of tho vehicle.
Ono thing is certain, the sclenco of
wireless telephony will not stand still.
Llko tho trdlnary telephone, It Is pass
lng through a period when It lacks olll
clal encouragement, and Is depend
ent for Its salvation entirely upon
those who are engaged In Its develop,
merit.

probably bo commonplace, and science,
having revealed to humanity another
wonder of nature, will have forged
thereby a fresh link in the much-desired
chain of International fellow
ship. "Tho night of December 7, 1021,"
says Raymond Francis Yates In the
New York Times "Current History,"
marked a new era In amateur wire
less work, for on that and succeeding
nights more than a score of American
and Canadian amateur operators Urst
reullzed their ambition of "getting
across" tho Atlantic. Though the law
limits amateurs to comparatively
short wave lengths, some of their mes
sages during that historic test covered
3,000 miles of ocean and were accu
rately recorded at an amateur receiv
ing station in Scotland.
Toward the end of 11)21 a photo
graph of President Harding was
Hashed across the Atlantic ocean from
Annapolis to Paris In 20 minutes, This
feat was achieved with an Ingenious
apparatus Invented by Edouard Belln.
Tho picture, of course, was not trans
mitted In material form, but was trans
lated Into rudlo-telegriipbic Impulses,
which were recorded on tho distant
apparatus. Tho work done along this
line opens up u new Held. Within a
few years we shall probably bo trans
mitting Important news pictures over
great distances, u:id then how easy It
will bo even to sign checks and Im
portant papers through tho ether! In
fact, a signature sent by this method
bus already been recognized as legal
In France. , The possibility of crim
inal detection Is also interesting in
this connection. A criminal's likeness
can bo sent broadcast to any part of
the country within tho spuce of a -few
minutes.
It is gratifying to know that Amer
ica has taken tho lead In tho develop
ment of radio telegraphy, There was
recently opened nt Rocky Point, Long
Island, n powerful radio station de
signed to mako New York tho focal
point of radlo-telegniphlc communica
tion throughout tho world. Hils pow
erful transmitter, tho aerials of which
ara supported by no Ipas than seventy
two 410-foot stool towers, and spread
over spaco of ten square miles,
will enable this country to communi
cate with six foreign nntlons simul
taneously, Besides this wo have sov
oral other transatlantic stations and
ono transpacific station,
Although the United fitntes has
taken tho lead In tho development and
application of radio telegraphy, Eng
land, Franco, Germany ami Japan oro
by no moanB overlooking tho value of
this kind of communication. England
has already started to carry out an
ambitious plan which will glvo her
an "All lied Chain" of wireless sta
tions throughout tho world, Japan re
cently completed tho erection of a
powerful transmitter which places her
in direct touch with points as far dis
tant ns tho United States. Oermnny's
powerful Nauen station represents tho
latest advances in tht nrt and keeps
her In constant touch with the com
mercial activities of America. France
has provided herself with a number
of efllclent radio stations for world
wldo communication. Hh Scandi

I. Tho Book Being Written (vv.
1-1).
I. The Time of (v. 1). In tho
fourth year of Jeholaklm, Jeremiah
had been exercising the prophetic min
istry sotuu thirty years.
'2. Against Whom Spoken (v. 2).
They were directed against Israel,
Judah and all the nations.
a. The Purpose of (v. .1). The
grand object of the Lord lu sending
this message by tho prophet was
Judith's repentance.
1. Method of (v. !). Jeremiah dic
tated the words of the Lord to Pa
ruoh the Scribe, who wrote them upon
a roll of a hook.
II. The Book Being. Read (vv. 0-21).
Jeremiah was unable to speak the
mesv.ige of the Lord to tho people,
as he wus "shut up" (v. 5). "Shut
up" most likely means a royal ban
against Jeremiah's proclamation of
(iid's Word to tho people or against
Ids entering the temple.
1. To the People (vv. 0-10). Tho
occasion which brought the people
together was a day of fasting (v. 0),
because of the threatening of tho
IlnhylniilaiiH. Jeremiah directed Ha
ruch to read to the people the words
of the Lord which ho had dictated
to him, with the hope that the people
would present their supplication lie
fore the Lord and return every ono
from his evil way.
2. To the Princes (vv. 11-1S)). While
tho reading of tho book unto tho peo
ple seemingly created no great Im
pression, yet Mlchalah was so deeply
moved that ho went to the scribe's
clvaniber where the princes were as
sembled and declared unto them
all the words which he had heard
IUiruch read. The princes sent for
llaruch to come and bring tho roll
with them. Haruch name and read to
them with the result that (1) they
were aroused with fear (v. 10). (2)
They Inquired ns to how lie had writ
ten tho words (vv. 17, 18). To this ho
replied that ho had written In tho
book the words which Jeremiah had
dictated to him. (,'!) Their couceni
for the safety of Jeremluh and
Uaruch (v. 19). They were Instruct
ed to hide themselves from man's
sight.
a. To the King (vv. 20, 21). Tho
princes regarded the words of the
Lord to he of such Importance that
they should be read In tho hearing of
the king, for ho was mainly Involved
In the judgments pronounced. Upon
their report of the matter to the king,
ho had JehudI bring the roll nnd read
It to him In the presence of tho
princes.
III. The King Destroying the Rolt
(vv. 22-20).
Instead of becoming penitent and
afraid ho became enraged and cut the
roll leaf by leaf and threw It Into the
fire until It was consumed. This he
did against the intercession of some
of tho princes. When the roll was
destroyed he ordcrod Jeremluh und
Uaruch arrested.
IV. The Roll Rewritten (vv. 27-32).
Tho burnt roll was reproduced by
the command of the Lord, and many
like words were added unto them. Wo
should learn from this Incident
1. The Indestructibility of God's
Word. Men may cut It to pieces and
burn It, but the Word of God shall
stund forever. It comes to light again
with woes added to bo visited upon
Its would-be destroyers.
2. The reason men attempt to de
stroy God's Word. It Is because of tho
authorltutlvo rebuke ol their sins. The
IMble arraigns man for his prldo and
wickedness and asserts God's sover
eign power ovor man, and his demand
for a pcrsonnl surrender unto Him
nnd worship of Him.
a. Tho Method of Attempted De
struction of God's Word. It was part
by part. "When Jehudl had read
three or four leaves he cut It with a
penknife." Tho rationalist today cuts
out the biblical conception of God ns
a being whoso essential nuture de
mands punishment of sin; therefore
he cuts out the Bible doctrli.o of man
as created of God In Ills likeness nnd
Image. Instead of that he makes
man a product of evolution; therefore
he explains away tho fall of man.
