SHIPS' WIRELESS—WHO OWNS IT?
• » POINT OP INTEREST. A fact not widely known is that tho wireless apparatus on most, if not all, tho intercolonial and island steamers belongs to some or other of the wireless companies. This matter of ownership is contrary to a very general, but inaccurate, conception that tho wireless installation belongs to the ship. Tho operator is nominally a member of tho ship's crew, but ho is in the employ of the Wireless Company actually as though ho wero employed at one of their shore stations. Tho charge for wireless messages is according to a' fixed tariff rate, and is conducted on a strictly cash basis.
