At the time of theParis Exposition, these automatic systems had not reached a veryhigh grade of perfection, but at the present time the solution of thisproblem becomes more and more imperative, and such systems arebeing worked out in great numbers, and of notable ingenuity. One of the prominent places in the Electricity Building and theExposition at St. Louis as a whole, will be occupied by the wireless.

Another mast of 200 ft. highwith so-ft. outriggers, is put up near the site of Jerusalem, and a steel tower of 325 ft. near the Press Building. From these stationsit is expected to send messages to the neighboring cities.
