A Reuter’s telegram from Spezzia says :—Signor Marconi leaves for London on Thursday to submit his invention for telegraphing without wires to a company. He states, however, that he will grant to the Italian Government the free right of making use of his invention. The Emperor William has requested the inventor to give a demonstration of the working of his apparatus in Berlin. Signor Marconi will consequently go to Germany on his way home from England. Mr. Preece, she well-known expert at the General Post Office, informed a press representative on Friday, that the new system of signalling without wires would not in the least take the place of the present mode of telegraphy. He said : “There is not one coil in a single circuit that will be replaced. The new flash telegraphy will only be used in signalling at short distances, and its use will be practically limited to shipping and lighthouse purposes. In that way it will be a great and valuable acquisition.”
