few of ofu vs u realized that it was already becom becoming becoming becoming ing a factor in in the subtle refinements s of our modern civilization until the news of the past two months caused us to sit st up and take notice so to speak On January 13 3 musk music was WIS transmit transmitted ted terl direct from the stage of the Metro Metropolitan Metropolitan politan Opera House New York to tower over a l score of wireless stations some of oC them miles away and the solos and duets of Caruso Drusa and Emmy Destinn in in and were verc ere heard as far distant as Bridgeport Conn and at points pc nearer wherever wireless operators keyed their ther instruments in nt ments Tents up to the proper point to hear I the sounds borne on waves On many steamers in Sn and out of the thc harbor the music of the grand frand opera I was as heard Especially was the music appreciated on board the Royal Mail Ia l Packet Avon Aon when two hundred and sixty guests of Lloyd Llod B Sanderson gen

the music from the stage tag through a horn much like those used on phonographs The horn known as IS the is is also I one of oC Mr Turners inventions A remarkable thing about the tests was the strength of Carusos voice as IS compared with other ether voices voices Not a note of Caruso was lost I The veterans of the Metropolitan foyer fayer stood in openmouthed wonder as 15 I they the

Company in the tower of the Metropolitan Life Building New NewYork NewYork NewYork York the exchange of messages meSI es with Chicago Cleveland Detroit and Key KeyWest West Vest was stopped long enough for a group roup of newspaper men to listen in inand inand inand and hear the performance As the thc Metropolitan Tower contains the larg largest largest largest est and best equipped wireless station stanon in inthe inthe in inthe the world reaching up jOO feet into the theair theair theair air above Madison Square it was a very easy matter to hear the music in all its beauty and clearness of tone The harsh notes of the orchestra became b me soft sot and Ind wooing like fairy liry music The Hert waves carried sharps flats and naturals through the atmosphere without hitch That such a thing thin never entered the wildest dreams of opera singers sing rs or ar pro producers producers producers of a t generation ago it is i hardly 7 ve f k FOR necessary to state but the wonders of electricity combined with the increasing knowledge and appreciation J of a f atmos atmospheric atmospheric vibration has brought the seem seemingly seemingly impossible down dawn to a business basis The time is not nat far distant when a steamer departing from New York will have New York opera every ever even evening evening evening ing until half way to Europe Then the American music will vill w

cabin musicale to listening to toa a Caruso or a t Atmospheric grand grm opera is probably in its infancy i but the pace p ce at It which we live and lOd invent and perfect things means that the merely today Is the accomplished fact tomorrow The com corn combination combination of machines machine with improved moving pictures may yet bring about an apparatus which will in every sense of the

in advance Anything to save time and increase our joys jOs even though they have to be taken on the fly I When the wireless opera opert is as firmly established as 5 the telephone itself there will iII be he only one important question worthy of the name before the producers of such For though this thi latest invention docs do s much it is not to bi b thought that it can eradicate the human humn attribute that causes more musical up tip upsets upsets sets among human song sons birds than any allY anything thing else plain every day jealousy Mazarin Sings by Wireless The comment occasioned all over the world by this performance had hardly hardy subsided before another test of the qualities of the wireless telephone was made Selections from Carmen were sung over the roofs of af New York on the afternoon of February February ary c th The feat was performed by Mine Mme Mazarin the brilliant new star of the Manhattan Opera Company whose first American interpretation of Elek Elektra tra tr has occasioned favorable yes en enthusiastic enthusiastic comment by the music loving loing world Mme Irne Mazarin sang into the wireless telephone at the laboratory of Dr Le Lee DeForest at zo Park Avenue New NewYork NewYork ew York 1 A V small but select audience heard the notes on the roof of the Metropolitan Life Li fe Insurance Building and applauded the sincer sinner over a mile away A selection from irom Elektra thrilled the distant hearers It was a strange and weird performance The audience that heard the opera was tas charmed by hy bythe hythe bythe the singers voice as well as the novelty of the performance Between the songs the wireless opera operator o operator ra tor of the Newark N J 3 station of the Radio Telephone Company conversed by wireless telephone with Dr DeForest in New York During the singing the employees of the factory all listened to the music Mme Mazarin bc began an her performance at 3 Jo in the afternoon She sang the Aria from Carmen Carment first then rested a afew afew t few minutes before sending forth the terrific crashing notes of Elektra After the exhibition Mme Mazarin and the audience I at the Metropolitan tan station on were taken to the very eT top of the co foot tower where they could see away in the dim Distance distance the wireless station on the inventors laboratory from rom which the music music had been trans transmitted transmitted transmitted First Wireless Telephone The wireless telephone which made possible the th accomplishment of this won von wonder wonder vonder der of oC electricity is the invention of Dr Lee DeForest whom electrical men con consider consider sider the thc very vcr foremost wireless expert in America His first successful demonstration of the wireless s telephone was in May Ma 1907 1 7 when accounts of the yacht races at Bay Day Ohio were reported over four miles away by means of the new invention This first firt demon demonstration demonstration demonstration was vas so o successful that after I thorough testing the United States Gov GovI equipped all of the battleships I of the great reat Atlantic fleet fled which was then preparing for its Us memorable voyage around the world The inventor then went to Europe where he equipped several vessels of oC the Italian Navy Na and made a record test by jy sending ng distinguishable sounds by phonograph from the Eiffel Tower to a vessel off Marseilles This Thiis feat at was WIS followed by lIy a thorough trial on the British Navy where two sixty miles apart maintained per perfect perfect feet communication New Noiseless Telegraph This invention Dr DeForest calls tho the radio telephone In February 1909 igo the inventor of the wireless telephone brought out his new suppressed spark wireless telegraph with which he was able to send messages without any in interference from surrounding stations The first record made by this new wireless telegraph was the exchanging of messages between Key KeyWest KeyWest West est and New York and its most notable triumph triumphs was the sending of two long radiograms rad from front the Metropolitan Tower New York to the Railway Ex Exchange Exchange change chane Building Milwaukee through all interference and during the most ad adverse adverse adverse verse weather conditions a feat never neer Before accomplished The noiseless telegraph using ng only a 2 a Kilo Kilowatt Kil Kilowatt watt generator communicates with Key KeyWest KeyWest West Vest and Milwaukee while the United States Government station at Key Vest West requires a 35 Kilowatt I il generator in in order to send back its ts answer Truly the wonders of af wireless are astounding and yet the inventors teU tell tellus us that the art rt is only in its infancy fancy in f The transmitting of several wireless messages from a I Curtiss biplane to the ground at Fresno Cal was only the thebe be beginning nning of a practical pr use of the in invention invention in which will be as 5 common rommon in in a I afew afew few years ears as the wire telephone is today Talk Across Atlantic Next A I transAtlantic wireless s telephone seems to be the next step in in the progress progress ress r ss of communication between en nations nation This ability ab lity to telephone without wires results from stirring certain wave ave move movements movements ments in the ether an clement element about which scientists admit they know little or nothing and the nature of which they hey dimly comprehend The wireless tireless telegraph tele aph established across neross the Atlantic only eight years ago agos go gois is s now naw a common adjunct of commerce and while wireless telephony presents pres many man more difficulties than the tele telegraph telegraph graph lph it is just as IS practical and we vc cannot annot doubt that its range ranEe will w l in time be just as great When Hertz discovered these or electric waves he never imagined that they could be used for telegraphy much muck less ess telephony Wilh wireless telephony accomplished the next natural r ll step will be the trans transmission transmission transmission mission of power by bj wireless and
