710 P^of. Fleming on Electric Wave Telegrciphy. [May 24, 



generalisations on this matter, but doubtless these will be accumulated 

 in course of time. 



Wireless telegraphy has now reached a position of such import- 

 ance, especially in connection with super-marine connnunication, 

 that scientific research for its advancement should have the utmost 

 possible encouragement, subject, of course, to the consideration that 

 there is only one a3ther for us all. Whilst we derive satisfaction 

 from the thought that so much valual^le discovery and invention has 

 already rewarded the labours of workers in many lands, we have but 

 to glance around us to see in all directions, in connection with it, 

 unsolved problems, untrodden paths, wide fields of knowledge ripe 

 for harvest in which the sickle of the reaper has never yet been 

 moved.
