the and economical where amounts of power to be trans- mitted are small, and where the
convenience would outweigh the disadvantage of the additional cost. Clocks, for instance, might be set by wireless, in place of by currens flowing through wires, as at present; and other small machines might be worked by electric currents due to wireless; but in the case of large machines, requiring large currents, and large powere, the cases where it would be economical would be very rare. It will be remembered that with wireless the electric Tourrents that do the work, are produced by electric waves that are sent out from the transmitting station, into space, into the asther that pervades all space. These waves are spherical, and as they move away from the transmitting station, have to cover larger and Buccessive spheres. It will be remembered again that the areas of the surfaces of spheres are as the squares of their diameters, or their radii; that is to say, each
