Heretofore the curvature of the earth has presented a dreaded ditti- eulty to be overcome In the transmis sion of wireless messages over long distances. Marconi's new control of the sound waves. It Is asserted, has ob viated the difficulty. How It Is done Marconi does not explain that Is Ills secret but lie says that lie Is confident he has found a method of doing It. He contends that the masts erected at Montauk I'oiut ami nt Southampton need not be higher than a New York "skyscraper" In order to make the working of the system effective.
