this statement
yesterday

The maximum
wave length produced
iv the world today
is 14,000 metres,
Mr. Macßeth
said,
and
the regularity of the
waves
detected
by
Mr. Marconi and other
experts
led them
to believe that they
were not electrical

turbances,

in-

The
only
resemblance
of
the
waves
to any

on the earth
was
a
similarity
to the letter'V’’ in tlec internatinnal code.
