Wireless Works Best by Might.

AS Il result Of certain observations
made during the solar eclipse Of May
% last, further evidence Is forthcom-
Ing with regard to the phenomena Of
day and night wireless signaling.
Under normal conditions the wire
less station ut Meudon. Paris, is I'M
able to receive daylight signals from
Ascension island, but can do so during
the hours Of darkness. During the
eclipse, which was not visible in
France and only partially visible in
Ascension, special tests were made be-
tween the two stations, and it was
found that while the moons shadow
passed between them Ascension was
quite audible at NIeu Ion, the signals
failing as the shadow passed away
This may be taken as additional proof
that the increase In the distance at
which given transmitter is able to
affect q given receiver as n result OF
nightfall, is due to the diminution of
the effect of solar radiation on electro
magnetic waves.
