Abstract
THIS book is written mainly for the technical expert, but the amateur who dips into it will find much to interest him. The theories hitherto advanced to explain the transmission of “wireless” signals are by no means complete, and some of them are very far from convincing. It is satisfactory, therefore, to notice that the author adopts generally a neutral attitude. In few industries is there greater scope for theoretical speculation, or a more crying need for it. The operator listening to the mysterious sounds sometimes heard in the telephone of his receiving apparatus, due often to cosmical influences, has every incitement to find out their causes.
