The Noise of Wireless Telegraphy.

Many readers may be surprised to learn that the' electric sparks jtoployed In wireless telegraphy over long distances produce a noise that may be annoying for those living close by the station. At least lids has been the experience at the Eiffel Tow* nr in Paris, where the sparks from an apparatus possessing a powsr of 19 kilowatts have proved disagreeable to people several hundred yards away. Blnce it is now proposed to substitute apparatus of 40 kilowatts’ power, with the hope of sending communlcatloos direct from Paris to New York, the generating-station will be placed underground in order to smother the sound of the sparks.
