By such a system. waves of radio

travel as far considering the power
used, but of course by .traversing
space they were most practicable
whereas wired wireless is imprac-

In usual telephone conversation
the frequencies used are from
100 to 5000 cycles a second. Radio
frequencies run as high as 5000. 900
cycles a second. The ordinary

not differ essentially from a micro
