 to be made where telephone or telegraph wires do not

Mr. Baker was careful to point out, in an address 

 on the subject before the Royal Institution of Great 

 Britain, that the system of transmitting photographs 

 by wireless is yet in the very early stages ; he predicts, 

 however, that advance toward perfection of the 

 method will be so rapid that what is said about it now 

 will within a few years have only a curious historical 

 interest. But even as the matter stands, the wireless 

 transmission of pictures may be regarded as almost 

 the culminating marvel of an age of marvels.
