The erection of the Cruft High Tension Laboratory has marked a departure into a new field of investigation. Experiments with the wireless telephone, begun a few years ago by Professor Peirce and Dr. Chaffee, have been resumed recently. Moreover, direct wireless communication with Berlin has lately been established...
