If any tank fails or is broken down, the section of which it is a unit is cut out of thebank, and the spare section cut in. Then a portable derrick is run over the section, and bymeans, of a block and tackle, which it carries, the contents of the tank are lifted out.

To dothis, a pair of tongs are run down through the small holes in the center of the cover andthe hooks inserted in the holes in the fibre sling. Thus the contents of the tank can be liftedout with the cover attached, and a new set of elements put in very quickly, without liftingthe tank itself. After this, repairs can be made to the elements at leisure. MARC0J1I TRANSOCEANIC RADIO TELEGRAPHY. 305.

Other U. S. High PowerStations.—In addition to the Mar-coni High Power Stations just described,two additional stations have been erected inthe United States for transocean communi-cation, which are now under the control ofthe United States Government. One is lo-cated at Sayville, Long Island, and the otherat Tuckerton, New Jersey. In the originalinstallation, the Sayville transmitter con-sisted of a 100 K. W. quenched spark setoperated at the wave length of 4,800 meters,but in the past two years a 100 K. undamped transmitter has beenin use and has been ope
