Wireless Telegraphy.

COMMERCIAL POSSIBILITIES CONSIDERED.

l Wireless telegraphy was the snbject o£ a lecture given recently by Prof. Rutherford ia the lecture hall of the Physics Building, MeG-ill University. The room was filled to more than iie seating capacity, and those present ©vinced great interest in the wonderful results achieved. The lecturer was introduced by Dean Bovey. who said that Prof. Rather* ford had many interesting experiments in the field of wlreleas telegraphy aome time previous to the announcement of Marconi's discoveries. While at Gam bridge University, Professor Ruther ford had succeeded in sending signals for distances o! several hundred yards, In order to enable all to follow the trend of his subject, 'Wireless Tele graphy/ Professor Butherford gave a short history and review of electricity. The production of electricity by fric tion, heat, magnetism and chemical action, as well as ita laws aad influence were fnUy explained. The utmost pains were taken to unfold the seeretß of the condensation of electricity, and to demonstrate the way in which a JLeyden-jar was charged and subse quently discharged consequent upon the increase of its electro motive force. By means of Weinhurst'a machine and the electrophore, the audience beheld the production of both positive and aegative electricity. The close and al most inseparable relationship that ex isted between the waves of light and electricity was clearly ahown, both be ing dependent upon the waves of ether. These waves of electricity were first discovered by a German, named Hertz, aod faenco were called after him Hert zean waves. Bat his discovery was of little importance till Lodge and Bran ley showed that these waves could be produced by an electric spark. It re mained, however, to Marconi, a young Italian, to prove ita practical applica tion and startle the world by his dis coveries. Here a slight digression was made by the lecturer to throw upon a ( screen pictures of such men as Farrady, Herta, Lodge, Branley and Marconi, who bad directly or indirectly done ao much for wireless telegraphy. Beturning to his subject Professor Butherford showed that all that was wanted was something to detect these electrical waves that were produced in ; the air by electric sparka. Hence, an ! apparatus called a coherer was invent ed. This consists eimply of a glass fcube of variable length tilled with iron filings, or a mixture of silver and platinum, and closed at both ends by a cork through which a wire passes to the interior of the tube; these wires constitute the arms of the coherer and may be attached to some long brass I rods in order the better to intercept the electric wave. This coherer is the receiver and is very sensitive to aDy electrical osoillations. At normal con dition the coherer is of a ve«7 high re sistance and offers a complete block fco the passage of the current to the circuit in which it is placed, bat when th s coherer receives alectrical wavea that may be travelling through the air, its resistance is greatly lowered and then permits of the passage of the current, The current will continue to pass till it ia' decohered,' that is till the resistance of the coherer ia again rajsei which is accomplished by striking in some way the sides of the coherer when the par ticles of iron fillings will fall apart. Of coarse, this decohering is done auto matically by a little hammer placed in circuit with the current passing through the coherer. Now by means of a relay these waves may be increased and recorded in any way dessired. At laboratory distances the arms of the coherer may be in, the horizontal posi tion, but at long distances it is ab solutely necessary that they be in a vertical position. With the assistance of Mr Grier, Professor Butherford genfe and received messages from all parts of the lecture room, and as o. final triumph, a message sent from the end of the hall outside the lecture room throogh closed doors, was also received to the great joy; of the audience. The wire that gives the spark causing the electric wave, is called the vibrator j so that there is the sender or vibrato^ and the receiver or coherer, Bo6h of which are inter changable, that ia to say, the coherer may act na the vibrator, in which case the coherer is thrown out of circuit and an induction coil thrown in circuit, in order to cause the oscillations ; while if the sender is to act as the receiver the order is reversed, the indue ion coil being thrown out of circuit and the coherer in circuit. Now the diffi culty that presents itself is how to make this system secret % Thie, as the lecturer pointed oat, centred about the • tuning,' as it is called, of the wires, that ia to say, if the vibrator and coherer could be puts into the same electrical period, that is one sending out a certain number of wavea and the other receiving these wavea at fixed And regular intervals, then the mes sage® sent between these two wires coald not be intercepted by another with any advantage. Professor But hoi ford closed his moat instructive address by mentioniDg the great field that was open for wireless telegraphy, and by paying Signer Marcoai a great meed of praise for his untiriag eftorfcs in thecaase of ssietice. As Professor Eutberford had asked Ifche audience if there was anything they would like to have solved, one among the crowd asked why the elec trical waves went around the earth instead! of in a straight line ? Professor Rutherford ia answering this question faid thuiC the wave of electricity travels at right angles to the earth and that the air near the earth is dense, while the further we go from the earth the rarer it becomes ; so ihst a wave of electricity being upright to the earth, would travel more slowly in that por tion near the sarth thaw in that, part of the wave ia the less condensed air, and hence the wave would tend to be apset as it were, and so take a courss around the earth. After this answer of Professor Eutherford's a hearty vote of thanks was tendered him by the President, and then the most success ful meeting of the McGHil- Physical •Society broke op-
