The “summer season” is on; that 
is, so far as we are concerned here 
on the North Shore. With the re- 
turn of the robins and the sparrows 
is the return, also, of the summer 
colonists, and no matter what the 
weather is, both are much in evi- 
dence this time<of the year. “The 
other season may very appropriate- 
ly be called the “dull season.” 
The Wonder of the Age 
Wireless telegraph, the wonder of 
the age, has become a reality and a 
necessity, a reality because the fondest 
dream of its inventor, Dr. Lee DeFor- 
est, has been accomplished, the harn- 
essing of that magic something which 
is to carry message across the broad 
Atlantic, as fast and as accurate as 
the cable; necessity because it is fast 
replacing the short cable and the long 
distance telegraph, its success not 
being confined merely to communica- 
tion of vessels and shore, but for fast 
commercial work between great cities. 
The recent accomplishment of Dr. 
DeForest in sending a wireless mess- 
age from his Manhattan station In 
New York to Dursey Head in Ireland, 
a distance of 3,860 miles, shows the 
actuality and the possibility of wireless 
telegraphy, as this message was nota 
short one, but a long, severe one of 
several thousand words. This mess- 
age was repeated and constant com- 
munication has been an every night 
occurance for the past two weeks. 
The possibility in that its meagre 
expense means the death of the cable, 
costing less than one-fiftieth to estab- 
lish it. 
For months past Dr. Bell the inven- 
tor of the Bell Tel. and Dr. DeForest 
have been working quietly but persis- 
tently, and at last their labors have 
borne the choicest kind of fruit. 
No message has ever been sent cross 
the Atlantic before without the use of 
the cable. Several years ago Marconi 
was accredited with the sending of the 
letter “©S”’ from Labrador to Ireland, 
but when asked to 
refused. 
The dream of the wireless age has 
been to span the Atlantic. DeForest, 
the first and only one to operate suc- 
repeat it, he 
cessfully on the land, is the first to 
cross the Atlantic. 
America’s inventors still lead the 
world, the invention and perfection of 
wireless telegraphy was by and 
American, and America is still as far 
ahead in the Wireless Age as it was in 
the wire and cable age.
