From this ionized region of upper space radio waves carom and curl around the earth. For two years Carnegie Institution's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism has had under way a program of ionosphere research mustering a platoon of scientists and ranging from the tropics to the far North. At the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, Dr. Edward Olson Hulburt kept track of the work, conferred with the workers. Last week in the Physical Review...
