Not only can . we send messages more clearly, more accur- ately; not only have we gained spleno did experience in the art of wireless comrrnunacatiam by airship and 'plane, as a result of the war, but byauto- matic apparatus we • can now, dee- patch eome three hundred words a minute, where prior to hostilities the most that could be sent was half that number: That the peace ofthew orld .will be furtheredI by wireless haveno doeht whatever; improvedmethode make communication always for n the. advance of civilization. There 9bA can be little doubt, for instance, that it .lies heel'the tranaatla: te, cables which for years have played the head. f ing part in cementing the riendship betiveen the people in'B tain and the people in the United States, Simpler Apparatus. Among the rnprovements in wire- less, which, drying. reconstruct; we hope to see playing a mcg• rty part, is that of receiving messages without the high masts at one time indispensable; but the statement re. cently pubiiehed in the Press that the method of receiving messages in the ground, or even of sending them through the ground is entirely pew. is utterly fallacious. The method is twenty years old if it is a day, and in the Tripoli campaign of 1911 was actually put iiito practice. During the war, wireless never had made of a chance from the purely commercial standpoint, it is the per- iod of reconstruction which is to wit- ness this particular phase of its de- velopment. The wirelese stations un - _til recently in the hands of the Gov,, eminent will,,,presntly be in the hands of private companies. War inventions will have the effect of appreciably reducing the cost of the service, while owing to another recent in- vention, the great aerial routes it is proposed presently to inaugurate will not be handicapped as would have been the case in earlier days by the dense fogs. What the lighthouse is to the steamship, the lard wireless. station has now become to the 'plane, with this exception -that the wireless ata. tion is distinctly more reliable. The lighthouse flash was surely consid- erably dimmed during fogs, the sound of the foghorn also appreciably deadened by fog; whereas, on wire- less, fog has no effect whatever. Few Obstacles. In the days that lie ahead, wireless will play a greater part than ever in getting in touch with remote and little -explored territories. World re- construction in the general means of communication is inevitable. One difficulty which wireless will dispose of is the immense sums of money until recently laid out in the con- struction of telegraph systems, es- peeially when these lay through vast swamps or mighty forests. In trop- ical climates excessive plant growths often cause tremendous havoc to a system of land line, while in hot climates also violent storms some- times devastate whole stretches of line -additional obstacles which in the days of rdconstruction wireless may safely be trusted to surmount In the clays -to -be an interesting de- velopment of wireless will be notice- able in transmissions sent from the vessels of the great trade routes of the world to the pilots of the various air services and vice versa. For in. stance, the 'planes of the future will be able to warn ocean-going vessels of on -coming storms, and so afford them ample time to save their awn- ings, for instance, which might other- wise be readily destroyed; or to close their hatches, which, during lengthy voyages, are sometimes opened in order to let fresh air into.'the holds, A Life -Saver. The suddenness of tropical storms being proverbial, it scams to me wireless will have here a distinct op- portunity of manifesting its ever- increasirig powers!. On the other hand, the liner will be equally cap- able of befriending the fog -wrapped 'plane by letting it kiiow the weather conditions at definite hours, so that the airmen would know at what alti- tude to fly in order to be least af- fected by the predicted olimetic con- ditions. In conclusion, it, need only be said that the verbal message sent by wire. less telephony early in the war from America to France heralded a new -era in that phase of the science. The days of reconstruction affording in- finitely better opportunity than was possible in war time, here, too, many new developments may be looked for, each and all of, them calculated, by linking up the ocean -severed contin. eats of the world, to establish, as it never has heen, the sacred doctrine of the Brotherhood of Man.
