NORWAY.

The Importance of the proposed
wireless connections between Norway
and New York would seem to justify i
a somewhat detailed account of the
plan. The Marconi company negoti-
ated with the governments of all the !
Scandinavian countries. But Norway
was chosen for the site of the station
at the eastern terminus on account Of /
it's favorable geographical position II
the station had been built in Sweden
or Denmark the messages would have
crossed England, which would have
made wiring difficult. From Norway,
on the other hand, messages can ha
sent exclusively across water, the
shortest line between Norway and
New York passing north of Scotland.
The stations to be built at New York
and in Norway will be by far the larg-
est and most powerful of their kind
in the world. The distance between
the two stations will be $3.50 English
miles. The distance between the pres
ent stations in Canada is only half as
great The regular rate will be ..25
cents word, while the present cable
rate is IS cents The rate for press
messages will be 1219 cents word.
It is estimated that the Norwegian
station will cost, about $550,O0O, and
will be the property of the Norwegian
government. while the Marconi COM
pany is. to- be the owner, of the Amer
lean station. The Norwegian govern
