Wonderful Wireless.

There is apparently no limit to the future possibilities of the wireless. Wireless storm warnings and general weather forecasts for ships at sea, covering conditions 100 miles off shore along the entire Atlantic coast, was inaugurated by the United States navy department on July 15, 1913- Direct wireless communication between America and Asia was established by the completion of stations in Siberia and Alaska, the stations being about 500 miles apart. Today no vessel of any consequence plies theoceans without Its system of wireless, and Its effectiveness in receiving news of the present European war is well known.
