58 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION A. 



From what has already been accomplished in longitude work by 

 the aid of wireless telegraphy, it seems exceedingly desirable that we 

 should employ this relatively new and valuable agent when the Aus- 

 tralian longitudes will be remeasured. 



Through the powerful wireless stations in Australia and at Singa- 

 pore time signals could be transmitted to great distances, and a plan 

 could be arranged by which the results that will be obtained by the 

 older telegraphic method would be checked and strengthened in various 

 ways. 



This double measurement would require very little more expendi- 

 ture of time, and would not cost much more than the telegraphic 

 determination alone.
