Fastest Travel on Record

The researches made by physicists
of all centuries have proved that the
hertzian waves move with the same
speed as light. that is to say, at about
$4,000 miles a second.
Three French scholars, Mr. Abra-
ham, professor at the Conservatory
des Arts ct Meters; Major Ferrie and
Mr.. Dufour, have, under the auspices
Of the bureau of lcngitudes, just de-
teTmined the speed of propagation OF
the hertZian waves between Paris and
Toulon. Part Of the result has been
calculated, and the speed found is
'295,900 kilometers to the second, with
difference of less than one per cent.
for each determination, in comparison
to the average.
They intend to measure this speed
between the EiffeI tower and the sta
ton of wireless telegraphy at Wash
ington. while the longitude of the
capital of the United States is being
determined.
Messrs. Abraham, Dufour and Ferrie
propose to continue their experiments
and to study the speed of the propa-
cation of hertzian waves between two
noints separated by the sea.
