same appearance also be produced in
another way. The moon does rotate. not
on its own, but about an axis passing
through the centre Of the earth, the true
and only one.
The unfalllng test of the spinning of
a mass is, however, the existence of energy
of motion. The moon is not possessed of
such Wis viva. If it were the case then a
revolving body as NJ would contain me-
chancal energy other than that of which
we have experimental evidence. Irrespect-
i've of this so exact a coincidence between
the aXial and orbital periods is, in itself,
immensely improbable, for this is not the
permanent condition toward which the sys-
tenn is tending. Any axa rotation of a
mass left to itself, retarded by forces ex-
ternal or internal, must cease. Even adj
hitting its perfect control by tides the
coincidence would still be miraculous But
when we remember that most of the satel-
ltes exhibit this regularity, the probable
ity becomes infnitesimal.
"Three theories have been advanced for
the origin of the moon. According to the
oldest, suggested by the great German phi
losopher Kant and developed by Laplace In
his monumental treatise 'M6canique Celeste
the planets have been thrown off from
larger central masses by centrifugal force.
Nearly forty years ago Prof. George H.
Darwin in a masterful essay on tidal fric-
ton furnished mathematical proofs. deemed
unrefutabe, that the moon had separated
from the earth. Recently this established
theory has been attacked by Prof T. ]. J.

traverses the earth. The former propagate
with the speed of light and their energy is
unrecoverable in the circuit. The latter
proceeds with the speed varying as the
cosecant of the angie which radius drawn
from any point under consideration forms
with the axis Of symmetry of the waves.
At the origin the speed is infinite but grad
ualy diminishes until a quadrant is
traversed when the velocity is that of light.
From there on it again increases, becoming
infinite at the antipole. theoretically the
energy of this current is recoverable in its
entirety, in properly attuned receivers
Some experts, whom have credited with
better knowledge, have for years contended
that my proposals to transmit power with
out wires are sheer nonsense, but l note
that they are growing more cautious every

magnifying the force of the impressed i'm
pulses. The receiving devices are SINH
larly conditioned and in this manner the
amount of energy collected in them vastly
increased.
THE Hertz wave system is in many re-
spects the very opposite of this. To ex-
plain it by analogy, the piston Of the pump
is assumed to vibrate to and fro at a terrific
rate and the orifice through which the fluid
passes in and out of the cylinder is re-
duced to a small hole. There is scarcely
any movement of the fluid and almost the
whole work performed results in the pro-
duction of radiant heat, of which an in
tinltesmal part is recovered in remote
locality However incredible, it is true that
the minds of some of the abest experts
have been from the beginning, and still
are, obsessed by this monstrous idea, and so
it comes that the true wireless art to
which l laid the foundation in 1898, has
been retarded in it's development for twenty
years. This is the reason why the States
have proved unconquerablc, why the wire
less shares of little value and why the
government has been compelled to inter
fere.
1--WE are living planet of wel-nigh
inconceivable dimensions, surrounded by a
layer of insulating air above which is
rarehed and conducting atmosphere Gig
81. This is providential, for if all the air
conducting the transmission of cec4
trical energy through the natural media
would be impossible. Ny early expert
ments have shown that currents of high
frequency and great tension readily pass
through atmosphere but moderately
rareied, so that the insulating stratum is
reduced to a small thickness as will be evil
dent by inspection of Fig. 6, in which a
part of the earth and it's gaseous envelope
is shown to scale. If the radius OF the sphere
is 12l2", then the non-conduc. layer
is only 1864" thick, and it Will be obvious
that the Hertzan rays cannot traverse so
thin a crack between two conducting sur
faces for any considerable Distance with
out being absorbed.
"The theory has been seriously adj
vanced that these radiators pass around
the globe, by successive reflections, but to
show the absurdity of this suggestion ref
arence is made to Fig. in which this
process is dagrammaticaly indicAted AS

The Illusion of The
Axial Rotation of
the Moon

mon to both bodies would have to turn
simultaneously in opposite directions. This
can be experimentally illustrated in the
manner suggested by using, instead of one,
two overlapping rotatabe washers, as NAV
be conveniently represented by circles M
and M, and carrying them around CEN
ire as L, so that the plain and dotted ar
rows are always pointing toward the same
centre. no further argument is needed to
demonstrate that the two gyrations can
not coeXst even be pictured in the
imagination and reconciled in purely alb
stract sense
THE truth is the sQ-called 'axial rota-
tom OF the moon is q phenomenon de-
ceptlVe alike to the eye and mind and de-
void Of physical meaning 1t has nothing
IN common with real mass revolution char
acterized by effects positive and unmistak-
able. Volumes have been written on the
subject and many erroneous arguments adj
vanced III support Of the notion. Thus, it
IS reasoned that if the planet did not turn
on Its axis it would expose the whole sur
face to terrestrial view; as only one-half
is visible, it must revove. The first state
ment is true, but the logic of the second is
defective, for it admits of only one alterna-
tive The conclusion is not justified, as the

eventually, a bolt may hit the building or

years before the electricity stored in

jurisdiction of country apply to lines
internationally used?
But there are other no less connpii-
Gated problems. What qualifications
will be demanded from commercial
pilots? Will a pilots certificate issued
in one country, be accepted as valid in
another? This question involves the
safety not only of aerial shipping itself,
but also that of the population above
whose heads the shipping passes.
Will there be a Standardization Of

and to the facilities of relaying and re-

and then gradually diminishing velocity
until at distance of about 5000 miles it
will attain its true speed in space. From
there on it will proceed with increasing
velocity, reaching infinite value at the OPP

be stated that this is merely an illustration
and not an accurate representation in the
astronomical sense.
