PARIS - The "pocket coherer" is said to be
a wonder in its ways. Once carries it about
with him in in his clothing -- it is not much
bigger than a pocket watch -- and is enabled
by its means to receive wireless telegraphic
messages wherever he may happen to be.
Wireless telegraphy is in its infancy as yet.
Within a few years it is expected to develop
marvels, rendering it practicable for a
business man to connect his office with
other offices, business establishments,
and even private houses all over the city.
