Installation of a wireless appara tus capable of sending and receiving pictures is the next piece of appara tus that will be added to the large wireless plant of John O'Rourke, 16-year-old Central High school electrical genius Exploding bombs by wireless is 'another feat that the youthful electrician hopes to accom plish when the government removes the ban on amateur wireless sets upon the signing of the peace treaty. .'Working together with Fred R. Bullus, O'Rourke has built the larg est wireless apparatus permitted am ateurs by the government and has enlarged it by original devices until it is able to receive messages from Russia, Japan, France, England and all parts of the United States and Canada. , ' , ' Because of war conditions the sending apparatus is under govern ment seal, but messages are received daily on the receiving pieces. A bungalow is being built near his home, 6406 Maple street, in which his station will be installed. Fred Bullus, who has done elec trical work for eight years, is at present engaged in perfecting a new detector, a torm ot the fleming os cillator, which will make recording messages on tape practicable on air ships. He recently re'turned from service in France with the artillery and also saw service in China dur ing the Boxer rebellion. ' Working with my wireless is more than a hobby with me," said John. "I am going to make, it my life work. I started about five years ago with a receiving apparatus that built I intend going to Boston Tech when I graduate and then to all the other schools that can teach me anything about radio work." U Kourke is a sophmore at the Central high school. By working in the evening he has earned enough to pay for his apparatus, the bunga low that is being built and Liberty bonds besides. He is a sub-agent for an electrical company selling radio apparatus and has installed wireless sets for amateurs. He is planning on erecting a station at the Boy Scout camp on Child's point to communicate with a small set that he has been asked to install in the Boy Scout head quarters ,at Seventeenth and Far- nam. Flans are also being made to erect a station in the high school cadet camp. But unless the peace treaty is signed, the sending ap paratus will not be allowed to be insianea. Messages from the principal Eu ropean stations are received daily as well as time corrections sent from the wireless station at Arling ton. , Before the war it was pos sible to transmit messages much more quickly than by telegraph. Besides being an expert, along radio lines. O'Rourke is familiar with the operation of moving pic ture machines ana A-ray apparatus.
