Marconi said that over ten thousand
words had beer received and sent on
Thursday and not a single word had
to be repeated. The inventor said that
tic had nothing new to tell, and when
a.Wkect it he would make n statement for
the press, said he had nothing to say.
In a few days, he said, a press service
mould be inaugurated between the
te.wers and ships at sea so that press
messages may be sent each day. It is
possible for Marceau to locate a ship
arty where at sea, and in a test made
by the wireless people for- the British

NO INTERRUPTION.
Asked if it was possible for a mes-
Gut;c\ to he intercepted, the inventor
teed no, and even if ane was copied

if the matter was found out, as the

in front of that room is the trans'urnl-

at work transforming the. current up
to a very high voltage. The key is con -

any definite demonstration that mes-
sages are readily being sent, yet both
Mareoai and Vyvinn claim that they
have been sending and receiving.
INTEI1EST IN MONTREAL.
A despatch from Montreal says: In
Montreal a great dein of interest was
displayed In the inception of the new
wireless service at Mtorien, and ninny
ci:quirie; were addressed to the Marconi
C•onipany's office. Mr. John D. Oppe,
manager of the Canadian Company,
when seen, said: "Yep, indeed, this is
a busy day. Of course, the service is
only an inaugural one. and the usual
daily service will not commence for a
kw days yet. however. there is n host
of press messages offering. and there
seems to be plenty of work for the op-
erators."
