Millth ’8 GB EAT TRIUMPH New System Is Now Handling Messages Without Wires. 'A despatch from Glace Bay, Nova Scolia. says: Many newspaper corre- spondents were present on Thursday afternoon at Port Morien, when the commercial wireless service between Canada and lreland was inaugurated by Signor Marconi. The messages ex- changed were sent by Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier, Lord Strathcona, Sir Hiram Max- im, the Lord Mayor of London and other notable men. Marconi said that over ten thousand words had been received and sent on Thursday and not a single word had to be repeated. The inventor said that he had nothing new to tell. and when asked if he would make a statement for the press. said he had nothing to say. In a few days, he said, a press service would be inaugurated between the towers and ships at sea so that press messages may be sent each day. It is possible for Marconi to locate a ship anywhere at sea, and in a test mode by the wireless people for the British Admiralty a British warship went to sea under sealed orders. and while she remained in touch with the Marconi- system the chart of the course she had taken was made up at, the wireless sta- tion that correspond exactly with that of the ship. NO INTERRUPTION. Asked if it was possible for a mes- sage to be intercepted, the inventor said no, and even if one was copied by a fluke it could not be_done again if the matter was found out. as the tuning apparatus of the sending and receiving station would at once be alter- ed. Two messages may be received in the one set of wires at the same time. and on Thursday Morien messages were being received and sent over the same set of aerials. A wire was sent by the London Daily Mail to President Roosevelt conveying l greetings. Sir Wilfrid Laurier sent the greetings of Canada to the Mother Country. The operating room is about twenty feet long and about twelve feet wide. and is equipped with three keys. Right in front of that room is the transform- cr room. where 8 or 10 transformers are at work transforming the. current up to a very high voltage. The key is eon- nected to an ordinary wire, which is connected with the aerial. A fuimelâ€"like tube spits flame when the operator touches the key. This, in turn, corn- municates to the jump spark. and so to the aerials. The noise on the wire is like a number of whips being crack- ed. The whole process is most inter- esting. and while it is difficult to get any definite demonstration that mes- sages are readily being sent. yet both Marconi and Vyvian claim that they have been sending and receiving. INTEREST IN MONTREAL. A despatch from Montreal says: in Montreal a great deal of interest was displayed in the inception of the new wireless service at Morton. and many enquiries were addressed to the Marconi Company‘s office. Mr. John D. Oppe. manager of the Canadian Company. when seen. said: “Yes. 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 few days yet. However, there is a host 01 press messages offering. and there seems to be plenty of work for the 0pâ€" craters." MESSAGES FROM LAURIER. A despaieh from London says: The Daily Chronicle on Friday morning pub- lishes the following message from Sir Wilfrid Laurier. transmitted by wire- less from the Marconi station in Cana- da; “Greetings to the people of Great. Britain upon the attainment between the British and Canadian coasts of na- ture's latest greatest triumph over dis- tance." The Express published the following from the Canadian Premier: , “Welcome. By this bond between Britain and Canada one more triumph for" the Empire and science has been achieved." The Daily Mail also publishes a mes- sage from “Loyal Canada." N QUEEN VICTORIA'S LETTERS. Published by Authority of King Edward â€"An Interesting Volume. A despatch from London says: The London papers on Wednesday morning publish elaborate extracts from the “Letters of Queen Victoria." which make their appearance by authority of King Edward. These letters form an interest- ing autobiography which. without re- vealing any important political matters not already known, present a deeply absorbing picture of the Queen‘s life and character from her own hands. Editorially. the news-papers express their grateful thanks to the King for this selcdticn from nearly six hundred volumes at Windsor. in which the Queen's letters and papers are classr- Iled and indexed. ~â€"â€"~x< KILLED SI.\' BABIES. The Terrible Crime of a Bavarian Nurse Girl. A despateh from Munich, Bavaria, st’ys: Ida Schneil. a nurse girl, fourteen years old. was arrested on Saturday. charged with murdering six small chil- dren by driving hairpins through the ‘tops of their heads. The girl confessed, the police say, that she “could not bear to hear children cry." and so. pityingly. ended their suffering. Then'sbe took another situation. and if the children there cried she was equally “merciful.” Her arrest was delayed by the diflicul~ ty in proving,r medically the cause, of death of each victim. \\'hen the se- quence. of deaths was established her arrest \vas inevitable. ’1‘ G.

Fewer American Publications Coming to Canada. A despateh from Ottawa says: The f’ostomcc Department reports that as the result of a new agreement to the second-class postal rates between Can- ada and the United States, which went. into effect last spring. the flood of cheap American newspapers and magazines. used merely as advertising mediums. has practically ceased to pour into Canada. Until May last hundreds «1 tons of American newspapers and ma- gazines of the cheaper and poorer class were carried weekly by the Canadian mails. Since the new rate of one cent for four ounces has been in force there is not one pound of this objectionable. class of American mail matter coming into Canada for every thousand pounds that came in before. The congestion in the Canadian mail service caused by the handling of this immense mass of United States publications has been re.- lieved. and the relations between the two countries in respect to revenue and expenditure on international mails are on a more equitable basis. A large pro- portion of the better class of United States magazines and newspapers still coming into Canada are now being car- ried by the express companies instead of being handled by the postoflice as formerly.
