Wireless Telephone.

The war has been the means of introducing many scientific ventures. On April 11, 1916, Secretary of the Navy Daniels wrote President Theodore N. Vail of the American Telephone company with reference to testing the possibility of the-use of the wireless, telephone at sea. The resulting tests covered a period of 40 hours, beginning nt 4 p. m. on May 6 and ending at 8 a. m. on May 8, 1916. During this period all communications of the navy department were on a war basis. The results are said to have been very encouraging. John J. Carty, who has been actively concerned in wireless telephony, said: “There is no navy in the world which has the power of the United States navy to mobilize instantly Jts resources through such a system of communications.” Some ships of the navy already have installed the wireless apparatus. .
