[58] See the _Electrical Review_, September 26, 1902, Vol. LI., p. 543.
[59] There is a good deal of contradiction between various inventors on this point, some saying that "earthed" aerials obviate atmospheric electrical disturbances, and others that insulated aerials are in this respect superior. The truth appears to be that, neither form is absolutely free from risk of disturbance by this cause.
[60] The capacity of an electrical circuit corresponds to the elastic pliability, or what is commonly called the elasticity, of a material substance, and the inductance to ma.s.s or inertia. Hence capacity and inductance are qualities of an electric circuit which are a.n.a.logous to the elasticity and inertia of such a body as a heavy spring.
[61] See Cantor Lectures, on "Electrical Oscillations and Electric Waves," delivered before the Society of Arts, London, November 26, December 4, 10, 17, 1900. Lecture I., p. 12, of reprint.
[62] A fuller account of these experiments was given by the author in a letter to the London _Times_ published on April 14, 1903.

[65] See German Patent Specification, Cla.s.s 21a, No. 7,498 of 1900, applied for November 9, 1900. The above-mentioned patent is subsequent in date to Mr. Marconi's experiments on the same subject.

[74] The opinion that ionisation of the air by sunlight is a cause of obstruction to Hertzian waves propagated over long distances has also been expressed by Mr. J. E. Taylor. See _Proc._ Roy. Soc., Vol. LXXI., p. 225, 1903. "Characteristics of Earth Current Disturbances and their Origin."

[76] Mr. Marconi has informed the writer that these strategic questions have received attention in selecting the sites for large Marconi power stations in Italy.
