4. In a wireless-telegraph apparatus. a cas-
ing, a source of light therein, a source of cath-
ode-rays therein, discharge - terminals for Hertz-wave propagation, therein, means to 5control the production of the waves and rays, and means to direct said casing toward a dis-
tant station.

5. A wireless telegraph, comprising a spark-
ing apparatus for producing Hertzian waves, 10means for actuating said sparking apparatus at will for the purpose of signaling, means for producing a cathode-light substantially in the path of said Hertzian waves, and a receiver sensitive to said Hertzian waves and located 15at a distant station.

6. A wireless telegraph, comprising a spark-
ing apparatus for transmitting etheric waves into space, means for actuating said sparking apparatus at will for the purpose of 20signal-
ing, a Crookes tube for producing cathode--
rays substantially in the path of said etheric waves, and a distant receiving apparatus sensi-
tive to said etheric waves.

7. In a wireless-telegraph apparatus an 25ex-
ternal casing having a reflector and a source of violet rays, the internal casing having dis-
charge-points and an element sensitive to light--
waves, means to impress changes on the waves of light or those due to discharges from the points, and connections from the sensitive30 element and the casings for the conveyance of incoming waves or their resulting effects to suitable receiving apparatus.

8. A wireless telegraph, comprising mech-
anism for producing cathode-rays, a sparking35 apparatus for producing etheric waves sub-
stantially in the path of said cathode-rays, a manually-operated key for controlling said etheric waves, and a receiving apparatus sen-
sitive to said etheric waves.40

9. A wireless telegraph, comprising a spark-
ing apparatus, a Crookes tube actuated there-
by, a reflector adjacent to said Crookes tube, means for generating etheric waves within said reflector, a telegraphic key for controlling45 the generation of said waves, and a receiving apparatus sensitive to said etheric waves.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two sub-
scribing witnesses.

Roberto Landell de Moura.
