SPEECH BY WIRELESS
BETWEEN WEST EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA SIR E. RUTHERFORD'S PREDICTION London, November 29. It is expected shortly that it will be practicable to connect a telephone subscriber in Western Europe with a subscriber in North America, said Sir Ernest Rutherford in his presidential address at the Royal Society. He attributed the success of the Rugby wireless station to the breadth of scientific knowledge and the boldness and initiative of the Imperial Wireless Commission and the engineering staff of the post office. AUSTRALIAN BEAM STATION London, November 30. Current will probably be let in to the Australian beam station to-morrow, but it is uncertain whether a private test will be made the same day. It is now suggested that a reduction in the South African wave length for the purpose of ensuring a longer period of daily communication is likely to postpone the inauguration of that service till January.
