WIRELESS AND RAIN
INFLUENCE NOT CREDITED, LONDON, Fob. 13. “Preposterous” is how a broadcasting official described a suggestion to suspend broadcasting for a month in order to see if it wore responsible for the extraordinary wet weather. He pointed out that tho energy expended by the broadcasting stations was negligible, and represented only one-half per cent, of tho total transmitted by all wireless services. Tho proposed experiment would, therefore, be fatuous, he said, unless all stations closed down for tho same period. Scientists generally, do not support the theory that, wireless has any effect on the weather.
