And so it goes. possible The Essence of Wireless, "Wireless is the sending and ra- ceiving of electromagnetic waves through the ether. That sounds for- bidding, but wait a bit. Just think of the ether as space and vou will come close enough to the facts for all practical purposes. Remember- ing only that space includes the in- terstices between the molecules that 1 tech- | through your eyes rapidly | fee] | are electromagnetic waves, at such a | e World's Work. i And when you | heat from a stove, these again | number of vibrations per second that | they are below the range of your | vieion and are perceptible to yoar | senses only through your sense of feeling or touch. But both light and beat are exactly the same thing, namely, electromagnetic waves. The | only difference between them is that | the length of the waves are different. | "The wave-length of light is al- | moet jnconcelvably short--about one | fifty-thousandth of an inch. The | wave-length of heat is longer--about | one ten-thousandth of an inch. Now, wireless is exactly the same thing as light and heat, except that its wave- length {is immensely longer--any- where from 100 feet to 20 miles. agp ---- Sorting the Wave-Lengths, "The discovery of wireless, then, amounts to this:__Man has discover- ed that he can artificially create dis- turbances in the ether which are per- lodic in character and of such great wave-length that they can be dis- ! tinguished (mechanically) above the | multitude of shorter heat-waves and ART Rg LTT Sew A RW \\ SO a \ W Ey Sy \\ Ny NR \ a TN make up the atoms of matter--so that space includes your own body | Mght-waves, and so he can use them and the brick walls and the earth |to signal to other men anywhere on ana everything else that is tangible, | the earth.
