Wireless Communication to be Faster, Cheaper and Long- er by Process Recently Evolved. The fac0t4 sit 11'e'has devised a new apparatus 00 revolutionize present methods in wireless telegraphy -has been divulged by Marconi, who just retsuai'ed to IDngland from an experi- mental crated in bis yacht, Electra, off the West African ooas't., am convinced," lie to1Ld a party of ivl.P:'s in London, "that .by meals of the new devices which':1 have been able to test communication by 'radio will become more efficient, rapid "and - economical than it is at present." As it is well known that. Marconi is extremely reticent with regard to in wentiodrs not as yet 'completed, this of- ficial hint. oontiag as to new develop- ments in the wireless made a great impression. Actual details of the in- vention arra not as yet available but It Is known tihat Marcond has succeeded 'hi transmitting messages up to ii's- tanges of. 2,250 Miles not 'only'. with a very_ much snrald'ar-dnaaiult of power energy, but faster eind,'much cheaper thanby existing methods. ' ` By his new system he telegraphed from Cape Verde islands, off equatorial Africa, to Marconi HouseLondon, with use of less power., than an ordinary message fr om Par Ls to London. d He lase found out flow to utilize waves that have not been used before. "By uses of the new wave,"„ h'e said, "we have o:btafned a clearer ognlmuni- cation from small stations then from' bigger stations. We were In 'a region where atmospheric -disturbance is bad, and if messages had not been sent through the new experimental plant they would not have been received on e the .yacht at all." The famous wireless expert is con- lident that the invention holds great iposs,bilitler for the future of wireless, "Even, now," he said, "it should be possible to transmit over 1,000 miles with power cis Low as two kilowatts or three to four borsepo e'er, and with a strengthening of sigaais." • The new receiving apparatus is simi- lar to that in use at present, with only slight modifications, and the special ' value, 'apart franc cheapening of 'costs, is the fact that elimination of disturb, maces is insured from the transmitting end by the employment of e new wave.

All of the foregoing variations are traceable to an Irish source, though a few of them also may have origin- ated froni other sources in .some eases. There were several branches of the Clan O'Reilly in Ireland, or, as the Irish, spelling has It; "O'Regh'ealladgh" or "O'Radheolaalgh.' The four princi- pal ones were in Dublin, Down, Letriru and Wexford. History traces this an- cient stunna:nie, bock to a period Met prier to. 1014.A.D„-when the new clan Was formed, from the still more an- etent O'Rourk clap.

A rod of this substance pointed at each end and suspended will set it- self to a north and south. position, The Chine's'e discovered this fact and invented the compass. They used it, for land journeys only, and were, guided by the south point of the aieedl'e. As early as the seventh cele tury the Japaslese mounted compasses on wheeled vehicles, which they called "south -pointing carts," Ordinary iron rubbed with magnetite will acquire magnetism and will pick' up a needle. Steel thr'augh which an electric current !has passed will also become magnetised. : Base of steel are formed into the familiar horseshoe shape in order to held the magnetism During the war an Americanofficer made an enormous horseshoe magnet, from two big cannon and same steel rails.
