Wireless Stations Around the Globe

Great Britain is reported to be planning a series of wireless telegraph stations to encircle the globe. They will be under the control of her post-office department. The first wireless message was sent by Marconi, the inventor of the system, in 1897, and the distance was only three miles. Now messages have been sent over 6,000 miles, and there is scarcely a ship at sea that is not equipped with a wireless outfit.
